Play Sat. at 1. Tonight I find out that our starting nose is sick for the second straight day, second string already out. We move an end to nose and towards the end of practice quiz him to make sure he has the 2 stunts that we will be using down:
coach: TON- who goes first?
kid: I do!
coach: NO. T for tackle, you go second.
kid: oh, yeah. I get it.
coach: NOT- who goes first?
kid: I DO!!!
coach: why
kid: because it starts with a K!
Anyone ever coach with a hangover?

Yesterday, in our walk-throughs, our freshman backup LB went to the D gap instead of C gap on a blitz. We stopped, told him what he did wrong, walked him to where he should go, then ran it again. He went to the D gap.

You could be coaching youth football.
Im coaching 2 teams this year, one of the kids on the all rookie team had a red MATCHBOX car coming out of the earhole of his helmet in the 3rd quarter of last weeks game ( on the sidelines). Been doing this for 15 years, never had that happen, but if I were to guess who it would have happened to, I would have guessed this kid hands down LOL.
Same all rookie team we shift left or right on defense if we see unbalanced front, we call out "shift left" our "A" gap kids shift right. Guess all 3rd and 4th graders are yet to know left from right LOL.

Back up QB in game and call sneak on SET. He walks up makes sure everyone is ready then proceded to say "SET". Just forgot to put his hands under the center first.
we lost the ball on the 2 yard line

Whats with the matchbox car in the earhole? heh
I have two DEs. Tremendous atheletes. They insist on rushing up field like Lawrence Taylor on every play. No matter how hard I rep it, they explode upfield. It creates absolute chaos for the opposing offense...until they miss a tackle and the O gets a huge gain.
I rep it, rep it, rep it, rep it. Engage the blocker, stay low, find the ball, read a seal or down block, etc etc.
We scrim, I run made up misdirection naked boot plays, and EVERY time the either DE gets caught on the fake. Every...single...time.
This past week, we played a team that trapped on counters. Can you imagine how that went?

They'll understand watching from the sideline- when other ways to "teach" a point fail take the thing they covet most and watch how smart they can become.

 "WHAT ??" sure enough, we watch film and on the first set, we were playing a 44 front with 3,1,3,7 techniques.  Thank God they ran away from him. So you got a 3 and 1 on the split side guard, and a 3 and a 7 to the TE? |

Wing... someone once told me that if the DE are boxing or supposed to be containing, you can't put aggressive players there. I have one kid who is the exact same way. He busts through the line every time and misses the tackle every time; never "contains" anything. Had to follow the advice I was given and move him. I suppose its like teaching a rabid dog to be a vegetarian; impossible.
