This Wednesday we are playing a team for our final regular season game. From the way our state does playoffs, we already know that we will see the same team 6 days later in our first playoff game. What, if any, changes would you make to a gameplan if you knew you would see the same team again in less than a week?

Play your backups all game and get them PT. Run your basic plays and rest your starters for the REAL DEAL next week. Good luck Coach.

I'm with TTH on this one. Stay as vanilla as you possibly can, especially if there is nothing to come from the game (assuming either a win or a loss you will still play the same team in the same bracket, etc.). treat it as a scrimmage, get people the playing time they needs but don't give away or risk anything that you don't need to.

I would guess that they are probably going to have film already, so they basically know what you are going to run. Just don't put in anything new or show them something they probably have not seen (maybe from early in the year). I do agree with playing some of the reserves to prevent injuries among your starters but I don't know if I would play them the entire game. If you are going to treat it like a bye week you need to remember how your team has handled bye weeks in the past. If you have kids playing both ways maybe only play them on one side of the ball for a half? Tough decision! Good luck.

Run a completely different offense for this game. Ever wnated to try the single wing? Great game to run it in! Now I don't recommend this gameplan, but it'd sure be fun!

That would be fun. We run about a 5 play hybrid-swinging gate offense. We did talk about just running that the entire game. We talked about just tanking the game staying vanilla giving guys minimal reps, but are now thinking that maybe we can do some things to give us an advantage in the next game. Set up some tendencies that are so obvious they will have to adjust to them. Our feature back is a little dinged up from last week, and will play very sparingly if at all.

Funny thing is, they are probably going to do the same thing to you........this game is worthless! I agree with the vanilla statement and pulling starters after a quarter or so.........see how they defend your base plays. Also, and I know this game is today, but you could give them false keys on defense......... Example: They are a big Jet sweep team, and you "adjust" to this by blitzing force everytime you see jet motion. Then, in the "real" game, adjust however you really want to and catch them off guard .......unless they know you know-------and then you know they know you know damn! |
