Hi Coach's.
I am at my wits end. I coach 8th grdae football. I have a team with a large, strong O-Line, a QB that can throw, and a good run stuffing defense.
They have the ability to be competitive against anyone in the league if we can figure out how to stop the pass and be consistent on offense. But...
We had a scrim on Saturday. The entire team was flat. I mean, just out of it. Playing at 75% speed. O-line wasn't firing off the ball, RBs weren't finishing runs, all tackles were the drag down type.
This week I am going back to the basics. No more schemes, just run, block, tackle and fundamentals...working their butts off.
Anyone have any additional recommendations?
