Why not just watch every play with every player and every coach as a team?
Comment when needed. Good, Bad, Ugly, etc.
What exactly does the grade do?

If you think something is important, do it and enforce it.
If something is a problem, find a way to fix it and enforce it.
But to just do something to do it or if it is a pain to enforce or if the kids resent it, well, that is stupid.
Next, what I think is important and what you think is important will differ. Just be yourself. But don't go looking for more stuff to enforce.

I coached in a private Christian school where there were strict rules on how you could wear your hair. In every rendering of Jesus I’ve ever seen he had long hair. Even in the manger? Just kidding, just kidding

Please let me know - am I being an {censored}, or being insensitive? EX1 Player: "Coach, I am not feeling well, I am going to come home sick." (Now please understand that I have a lot of sick excuses.) Me: "Player, if we had a game today, would you play or go home sick?" EX2 Player: "Coach, I cant lift today because I have to make up my missing classwork." (work that he could have done on numerous occasions.) Me: "What if everyone did their homework between 3 and 5pm? And can you not do your work between 6-8 pm?" It's just difficult for me to say "ok" when these things happen. Just venting. Was browsing this board and was just approached by one of my kids lol. Smartass, yes. A$$hole, no. There is a way to be neither (although sometimes both are wanted and necessary). Just say, “Get you tail in the weight room!”

Oh by the way, she probably broke her shooting hand wrist (hairline) in the semi’s Friday night and finished with 20. Played in the championship game like nothing was wrong. Didn’t even tape it up. Turns out she does have a hairline fracture. She got her cast this morning.

Our boys were in their SIXTH straight state championship finals last night. We won last year, but unfortunately lost to a better team last night. We had beaten them once during the regular season but that is the third time they defeated us. And yes, our whole team lifts weights!!
Our girls won and are back to back to state champs and have won three out of the last four.
Allow me to be a proud dad for a moment. After all, being a father is truly my number 1 job.
My son took 15 offensive fouls (charges, over the back, pushes) in the three games of the state tournament. If you have ever coached or played bball, you know how unbelievably impressive that is. That might be some kind of national record (doubt anyone keeps track of that though - lol). He walked out with three ice bags on him.
He has been selected to play in the all-star game of all three major sports. He made the junior all-star game in baseball last Spring, football all-star game this Fall, and has been selected to the basketball all-star game. He somehow also has time to hunt, fish, bowl, play video games, and have a girlfriend.
To my daughter. She now has three championship rings, has been named to the Final Four all-tournament team three times winning MVP once and has scored over 1000 points in her career. She is a current FRESHMAN.
She has been so blessed to play with some amazing girls including the Alabama women coach’s daughter, an Alabama mens assistant coach’s daughter (who currently plays at Bama), and Alabama/Miami football asistant coach’s daughter who signed d1 this year. My daughter also played on an AAU national championship team.
When they lost in the semi’s two years ago she had the flu and the other great player was throwing up. They had a 14 point lead, but just ran out of gas.
Oh by the way, she probably broke her shooting hand wrist (hairline) in the semi’s Friday night and finished with 20. Played in the championship game like nothing was wrong. Didn’t even tape it up.
Thanks for listening to me brag.

Recruiting is BS. It really is. I can give story after story on guys they miss on. This story does not surprise me at all. At all.
Reminds me of Sidd Finch, the (fictional) pitcher.
I saw Sidd Finch pitch. He had just come down from the mountains. One boot and all. Cannot believe rock throwing faded out of training. No one will ever throw 168 mph again. No one! He was unhittable. Too bad baseball was not compatable with his spiritual life.

As far as NFL guys I love the story, if it's true or not is another topic, of Sean Payton getting advice from Gruden and Parcells on how to stop the single wing team that beat his youth team twice when he was suspended. That is a great story. I heard him talk about it at a Bama clinic. They got beat something like 50-6 first time. Had NFL Hall of Fame coaches scheme against it for the championship game. And... Got beat like 28-0.

So, does that mean I can only coach the bench? That's a big responsibility though That's a big dude. I guess he works a lot on rows and deadlifts and other pulls to be good at that. Probably some grip strength stuff would also be in his workout plan. Body weight training would also be very functional. Bench press would be stupid and should not be emphasized at all. I mean, who would ever have to push a coach while laying down on your back? Do you think he does triphasic undulating periodization macrocycle protocols? I can see where ladders and footwork training would have a direct effect on his performance also. What type of warmup do you think he does?

I think that clip of the qb getting smoked, and no flag, proves it's not a flag football league. If it were, the rules would be just as strict as the nfl. Being able to hit the QB is them trying to gain viewers. no kickoffs? Sounds like nfl! No no extra point att.? Sounds like NFL? All but eliminating blitzing? Sounds like NFL! Extra protection coming for Qb in new league? That is coming, and oh by the way is the NFL. It doesn't have to be black and white to know what is up. Currently, 1) The NFL has kickoffs 2) The NFL has extra points 3) You can bring all 11 on a blitz in the NFL if you want. Not sure what your point is.

I think it is possible though that you would see so much you would miss out on the bigger picture, you could be overwhelmed by the amount of work you have done. Thats why tendency reports are beneficial. Again, I don't think the super in depth practice that people are referring to here as "padding" as referenced in the article is being used as a game week prep tool. This is all made up. Through analytics, the Patriots figure out that when the are in the redzone and it is 2nd and 10, they are most successful in 12 personnel. Through Hudl and scouting, the Patriots figure out in the redzone that on 2nd and 10 when a team gets in 12 personnel that Cinncinatti is going to run the Bengal or Tiger blitz. Through padding, they realize they can identify which blitz it will be based on whether the SS is head up the TE at 10 or whether the SS is inside the TE at 8. Bam, Patriots get in the redzone and throw an incomplete. It is 2nd and 10 and they go 12 personnel. Tom Brady checks to the appropriate play based on where the SS is and the line knows where the blitz is now coming from.

our OC will do these things sometimes when he has a draw called Our kids are so dumb they would call a timeout to make sure that we didn't add a post read to IV...not kidding. I am literally imagining our QB's bewildered look right this second LOL! But just do it in practice and all is good. Not like you need that advice.

On a side note, our audible call for gut (trap that looks like buck sweep), is “sweep”.
Nothing like running sweep well a couple of times in a row and me yelling “on the ball. On the ball. Sweep. Sweep.” And then watching the FB gash them up the middle.

and BB has probably watched all 20+ broadcast of the rams and on top of all 22 He has cut-ups of just McVay's eyes, dating back to college. And he knows when he eyes get a certain diameter without exceeding a certain diameter, exactly what play he called. Gotta wear shades.

the reason I said no is because they saw gronk do the same things devlin does. And they will, imo wrongly, get infatuated with that. But Coach, Devlin isn't a freak. He is just a fb/blocker. You can find guys similar. Gronk? A freak!!! Is there anyone else EVER like him? And if there are, an NFL team would be idiotic to not get a Gronk.

I read this article and started padding a game the way many described. I can't believe how much I'm learning about a game that I already though I knew a lot about. I'll definitely be encouraging my assistants to do this as an exercise to help them develop. THIS

The point of padding isn't to prep the opponent, it is to prep the coach. What took me two posts and 1000 words to try and say (not very well), is summed up in the sentence above.

All of a sudden, everyone is Belichick. If I had to go into this much detail for high school athletics, I'd find something else to do. This level of detail in professional football makes sense, I guess. I am sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression. I’m not padding any games now. I have during the off season season before as an exercise. I think the experience and what you gain from that experience is what counts more than anything. Here is just a minor example. Some coaches who read this will say, “no joke.” Some will say, “wow, I have never thought of that.” And I am sure there is some detail that I would have that reaction to also. Still learning. Minor example When you pad, you need to be precise with line splits. Most teams have about the same splits. Some teams adjust. But if you are a guy who played DB his whole life and now is all the sudden a DC, you might have never thought about line splits. So you play this team. And their line splits are abnormal (either very wide or no splits). You don’t notice. Because are more worried about their pass routes or what they call on 3rd and medium. So your scout team lines up all week with normal splits. You get in the game, and stuff just doesn’t fit the way it should. Maybe there is too much space for the LB to fill on iso because they have wide splits. Maybe the DE is one step away from the QB everytime instead of getting there on a pass. Or maybe they have tight splits and your blitzes are getting through or you didn’t realize your front 7 or 8 would be so compressed that their is too much grass outside, so sweep or passes to the flats are working. Once you really pad some games, you quit missing these details. Not saying you have to pad to get all this or that you have to pad each game to see this, just an example. Flip the script. You were an o lineman your whole life and are now DC. You didn’t realize the effect wide receiver splits would have. Padding is different from tendencies and analytics also. While it can reveal tells and tendencies, that is really not the purpose. It is about learning the game. The personnel. The techniques. The tactics. The details. The more you do it or learn to focus on those things, the more you naturally see it. Lose a game because you didn’t have your scout team line up with appropriate splits. See it again in three years. Bad coaches - won’t notice. Good coaches - a freaking alarm bell goes off in their head.

I’m not quite sure how padding and hudl have been sort of compared as the same. Live, 8mm projector, VHS, DVD (worst format of all), hard drive laptop, and now cloud based hudl are ways to WATCH a game. Sure you can also input data in Hudl. You could also do that Digital Scout, ProScout, Excel, etc. Padding is detailed studying of individual plays. Point being, pad or don’t pad. Do whatever detail you want or don’t want. Hudl has nothing to do with it other than making it easier to watch. Maybe I'm missing something but since you can annotate on hudl can't you write all types of detail on every clip & accomplish similar outcome? Or is the drawing of the play considered to be part of the exercise? Drawing the play is a major part.

Edelman, donald prove the 40 and bench are practically worthless. Athleticism is far more than that. Are you talking about Aaron Donald? The guy that benches 500? Edelman benched 225 14 times at pro day. No idea what he does now. How many of your high school team's offensive lineman could bench press 225 more times than that? And he is a slot. Edelman ran a 4.42 at his pro day. Donald ran a 4.68 at DT at the combine. How many of your high school backs can do that? Look, you can play or can't. Athleticism is more important. But bench and 40 are practically worthless. get outta here

Yes, if you quit trying to do it b/c you can't. 2 & long's not a winning recipe for anybody. With Goff dropping back and passing, your odds of doing better on 2nd and long passing are probably less than running it. I don't think anyone would choose Goff over Gurley as the player they're giving the ball to in a crucial spot. Well, other than McVay. Gurley touched the ball, what. 3 times in the first half? That's giving up before you try. The Patriots either took the run away or the will to run away or the desire to run away or the ability to call a successful run play away. Spin it how you want. They had 62 yards rushing.

I am not going to pretend to know what Belichick makes them do.
But you write down everything! Offense, defense, personnel. Substitutions. Groupings. Hash. Yardline. Score. Down. Distance. Quarter. Time. Weather.
Draw the play with numbers not x and o’s. Where everyone exactly lines up including angle, stance, splits, eyes. Any tells. Any pre-snap movements. How the qb approches the snap. Where he is looking. Does he wipe his hand, etc. Where are the backs looking. Are the LB’s on their toes, on their heels.
Diagram the play and every detail. Rotation, coverage, slants, stunts, blitzes, movements. How they take on blocks. What are the LB’s keying. Blocking scheme, routes, fakes. Techniques.

Honestly, can you not use them right side up? If you happen to bump one over, just pick it up.
Of course flip over and stack when done to keep the rain out of them, although some have holes in bottom for that reason anyways.
