Less than 2 weeks ago I asked you directly about the Army Trap/Midline concept. I started a thread about easiest blocking schemes, pros and cons of track blocking etc 3 weeks ago, specifically asking to compare and contrast those pros/cons to triple option schemes. What has become boorish are the constant posts regarding how foolish everyone else is for not running the flexbone/triple option. About how the coaches must be lying for their reasons given. Posts where a coach references a singular performance and says "see" as evidence but when countered with antithetical performance complains that such a comment is "just arguing" Posts where coaches state that football is essentially "dead to them" because of the offensive systems being run. Seriously...you are clapping back (as the kids say) for someone holding up a mirror and saying "Uh, guys, are we really suggesting that the athletic directors and coaches of another conference are forcing Army's AD to order Army's coach to not run the flexbone?" Particularly given the fact that they ran flexbone the entire CC game, which was after the deal was already finalized? No, boorish is the "get off of my lawn" vibe that seems to keep growing here. If it's so boorish, stop reading the thread. Dude quit engaging. He’ll go away if you don’t fuel his argument needs. If you answer his questions he just moves the goal post in a never ending loop

But Army went for 365 on the ground in the "old system" the previous game and Monken said "felt like army football". Just don't get it. I'm going to beat the dead horse one more time, rather than change everything, why not add outside veer? I think it would keep the offense viable. Like someone said above, Harding dropped 55 in the D2 semi's and it going to the National Chip I believe for the 1st time (don't quote me) under the "no cut" rules. SMH Not sure what Army is doing. If Monken's comment "felt like Army football" then as the HC why isn't he running THAT offense? I don't buy his initial reason that the "no cut" rule will hurt the old Army offense. That was a diversion. The rule didn't seem to hurt Army vs. Coastal. I think it's deeper than that. I think it has everything to do with joining the AAC. I bet the AAC coaches/AD's weren't too thrilled with playing the "old" Army offense forcing the Army AD to negotiate with Monken in making some changes in order for the merger to happen. In this day and age of entertainment steering "financial" considerations that seems to be more of a "reason" than a rules change. Huh. I never really thought of that. Great take because I have been racking my brain thinking how they could really think the perimeter cutting is somehow kryptonite to the offense

Was a freshman coach in a program where the fresh team and the varsity ran Double Wing with at least 1 WR most of the time. Fresh played Thurs and varsity Fri. The next Monday our JV comes out in triple I double tight. I was sitting in the booth next to the camera and pretty loudly said "What the hell is this?" I meant it as, what the hell are they running? Apparently during film the JV coaches turned the sound up and made fun of me as if I wasn't smart enough to figure out their mastermind scheme. The JV coach eventually got fired/resigned before the season was over. He applied for the HC job that winter when I ended up getting it. Needless to say, I had a lot of problems with those JV kids in my 1 year as a HC there. That coach continued to hang around the program while his kids were in school and cause problems until even his wife had enough of him and divorced him. Guy used to have kids over to his house to show them highlight films of him playing in HS and college. He was that guy. And then he became famous as 3 year letterman

Was at the game. I agree with everyone that Navy had zero identity. Army was just a little better but not by much when it came to this as well. But Army went for 365 on the ground in the "old system" the previous game and Monken said "felt like army football". Just don't get it. I'm going to beat the dead horse one more time, rather than change everything, why not add outside veer? I think it would keep the offense viable. Like someone said above, Harding dropped 55 in the D2 semi's and it going to the National Chip I believe for the 1st time (don't quote me) under the "no cut" rules. SMH They havent cut the perimeter for a few years now

I put together all the drills and have video to go with it as well as explanations. I usually correct the player not the coach. So I’m coaching both at the same time.

Is The Annexation of Puerto Rico still available? There was one single play, not an entire offense. Also, I don’t think people talk enough about the Cowboys running a perfectly executed inside veer out of the I in that game.

Update for the FTC crowd : Brad Dixon and Camp Point Central (CPC) won the 1a state championship in Illinois this morning. They took down the Lena-Winslow (LW) Panthers, who were playing for a 4th consecutive state title and have not lost a game since the spring Covid season in 2021. Last year, LW beat CPC 30-8 in the title game last year. Today, CPC won 14-0. The LW line outweighed the CPC line by almost 50lbs a man yet CPC controlled the line of scrimmage. By the 4th Qt, CPC had worn LW down. I have never seen that happen to a LW team in the postseason. Tip of the cap to Coach Dixon and the CPC Panthers. So, needless to say, Coach Dixon is going to be a really popular and busy guy this offseason. Apparently the other team is a FTC team also.

Against the T , 6 down lineman front wiht mostly 1's, 7s, and 9's, 20 linebackers, a "Vampire" at 1 foot behind the linebackers in a 00 technique then 2 safeties at 8 yards over the tight ends in 80 techniques. The defensive front would squeeze and spill. The "Vampire" would read the QB's face mask and flow opposite, safeties would read tight ends edit: We were successful with wide trap, Belly Iso, Dive, toss and play action. However it seemed to be the trend this year. I have used the exact same front over the years. Never lost to a T team

Maybe not new, but a weird one we saw in our last game, the Defense vs our 11P sets would play Man-DBL Free. Not really 2-Man but could be construed as that via this description. 4-Down front, 2-Backers in the box. CB's manned on #1 Nickle manned on #2. Backers manned on #3. Both Safeties sitting on/inside the hash just reading the QB/Backfield. Free fitters off the edge in the run, or Hole/Robbers in the pass game. We didn't release our TE much in the pass game so that Backer really just lived in the box, similarly with the RB and his backer. They would also play Cloud/Trap to the single side with that man look to the field. They did some good Trap/Cat stuff to add in some gimmicks. And then they hammered us with Firezone blitzes. Again nothing super new, but that Cover 20ish look was weird to see. Sound like it could a "Fox" type of coverage where the 2 safeties both key the h back (or RB). H back your way, you have him man and/or become an extra hat. H back away from you, you can go to free safety or robber. Oh yeah. Great coverage

If you have it in hudl break it down with your terminology and then run reports. I can't break it down in Hudl. I don't have that much access. But the question remains if I was watching games on NFHS or another platform what has worked for coaches to learn from film when you can't talk to the coach? That is the answer I am looking for in this question. I will watch and take notes in that case. Again in my terminology but I won’t get as detailed because I don’t have that kind of time

What do you do to learn from film? I have access to all of the games from a team that runs a very similar defense to what I run and I want to learn what he is doing. However, I can't call him up since we play them he doesn't readily share his information. Are you drawing up the plays and what the defense did? Are you watching the film over and over again? I am just looking for tips and suggestions that I can use to learn what other teams are doing to improve my knowledge. If you have it in hudl break it down with your terminology and then run reports.

Film, walkthrus, study hall. 30 minutes isn't enough time to get dressed and have a workout. It is if you do just two sets of trap bar and two sets of deadlift. I know this will sound 100% conceited and 100% a falsehood, but I could get your team contributors to average max bench over 240 and max over 500 trap bar deadlift doing just that once a week every week for a year. And I wouldn't blame you for thinking I was crazy. Hell, if I hadn't done just that at three different schools, I wouldn't believe it either. Now, we did workout twice a week, and this is only once a week. That is why I dialed it back a little and didn't say 258 and 548. It is literally amazing what teenagers can accomplish when they push and pull heavy ass weight and rep out with it. Contributors = someone who plays in meaningful downs on a Friday night. For us, that is usually 17-22 guys. Yeah repping out is a fuking game changer.

If you had a 30 minute block where you had a majority of football players during the school day, Monday-Thursday what would you want to accomplish during that time? Let me say that we lift after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. We have the weight room available, but the kids would be in school clothes. With that being said, what would you do with this time? Speed, plyo's, balance, lifting, football theory. What would you specifically do for your program? Thanks for any and all responses. Teach scheme, watch film, run some plays, teach drills, have some sort of leadership training going, get to know them as people not players, do fun sh!t sometimes

In general, 90% of all players will be perform, compete, and be “tough enough”, if they 1) get as strong and fast as they can 2) get in shape 3) know what to do 4) and know how to do it Take any of those 4 away and you start to run into major problems. This also. Graduate level "this"

Physical toughness is easy. Weight Room. Mental toughness is another thing. it's up to the individual. It's his personality. You need both to play this game. You can try to teach and inspire it...give examples of it...but you can't install mental toughness. Some kids are lumberjacks and some are crybabies. In high school I played against Rocky Long. The little guy hit like a Rhino. That was not taught or inspired by a coach. It was him. The weight room can give you a 6'2", 240 pound kid...but if he's a crybaby he ain't worth a broke dick. He ain’t worth a broke dick is now my favorite phrase

It has taken a decade to get where we are. All of our coaches are considered varsity coaches. 2 coaches are volunteers that get a booster club stipend. Freshmen HC coaches RB’s 9-12 Freshmen DC coaches DB’s 9-12. This was an emergency hire we would prefer to have a DL coach here. Don’t get me wrong this coach is excellent, one of the best young coaches in our area. Freshmen volunteer QB coach 9-12. This guy is incredibly valuable. Alumni who set school records and got us our 3 play off game appearances. LB coach OLB coach DL coach DB coach. they have all called the D for a varsity game and the DL guy does JV games OL coach FB/Y coach WR coach- calls the O on JV. HC- O coordinator. varsity volunteer- assists with all backs T/F/Y. When freshmen coach is gone. with less than 11 we don’t get the HS volunteer canyoncoach that is great but I suspect there are very few on here in a similar situation. CS maybe? tog might have been. The place I was referring to had 10 coaches 8-12. 5 d 5 o. It was nice

I intend to absorb the Jr. High program into the fold of the Varsity program. Jr. High is only 7th & 8th grade. I want to have all the Jr High coaches be part of the varsity program. We are a very small school, Lose some kids between Jr high and Jv so I’m going to have them coached by the varsity guys at least part of the time so we can build relationships with the kids and assure they are being taught the same terminology and techniques we use above them. Has anyone done anything similar to this? Had that set up a few stops ago. The best way to do it in IMO. I had my own defensive staff that only worried about defense. We had a jr high DC so I didn't scheme them or break down that film but I was coaching linebackers from 8th through 12th grade and it was great. I've suggested it everywhere but a lot of older HCs don't want to coach jr high kids anymore
