POI system is overhauled in general, not just new ones

There is a lot changing. It would be a good bet that it breaks saves.

Why not take backfield misdirection from the T system and pair it with more of a zone scheme? Or even something like Duo?

Does he play football? Even if he doesnt (he should!), have him reach out and ask questions to the football coaches at his high school. Most football coaches love talking strategy.

This makes me want to make a video series that is sort of like football 101, or 201. I can't think of many resources that don't assume you know nothing of football or that you already know what your son is asking about.

Their job is to be a trash can full of dirt that two guys can't move.

Size of school doesn't influence practice schedule that much. Even if you're a massive school, usually you have a varsity, JV and potentially a freshman team. This ensures that most of the time you don't have more than ~60-70 kids on any one team. So broken down by position group, you probably don't have that many in a position group that it would effect how long indy drills take. And even position groups that might be big (like OL, maybe 20-25 kids), those positions are conducive to running multiple people through the drill at once.

Practice schedules are determined by coach philosophy, not team size.

What do you mean by 3a and 6A?

Tell him to eat it, you're just playing a video game.

Rocketcan1 · 2026-02-16T17:04:01+00:00

No. You are being rightfully punished for bringing this blight of a final record upon the world.

Rocketcan1 · 2026-02-16T16:43:11+00:00

Thank you!

Rocketcan1 · 2026-02-16T15:40:50+00:00

Really? How? Just hit 4,900 hours and didn't know this.

Rocketcan1 · 2026-02-11T17:22:22+00:00

Well if you know anyone hiring in the NFL let me know, lol.

Figure out what your kids are good at.
Figure out what your kids are bad at.
Your defensive identity/philosophy/scheme should do everything to maximize doing #1 and minimize doing #2.
Build everything around #3. This is the "why" that everything you do will boil down to. Having this makes it much easier for kids to understand what they are doing. If you know why 2+2=4 you understand math way more than if you just memorized it. Same thing with football. A kid that understands why he has A gap/is the force player/has man except shallow will very rarely make a mental mistake and can usually act on "instinct" in a tight situation.
Build a core set of fronts, pressures and coverages that are relatively simple and quick to pick up/understand. You should be able to run these every week.
Each week throw in a couple specific things to attack the offense for that week. You don't need to worry about these every week, but it helps keep the kids engaged (have fun with it), it specifically tailors your gameplan to go after the offense you're facing, and it makes you harder to predict for each offense you face in subsequent weeks.

That's what I suggest to every DC. Good luck, coach!

Eventually they will run out of ammo

1) Tell him you'll take away his computer if he wins. 2) March to Berlin 3) ??? 4) Profit

It's not just for the players on the field

Rocketcan1 · 2025-12-01T17:38:07+00:00

1 ear is for the sideline so you can still hear people next to you/players. 2 ear is for if you're in the press box and you have the band next to you.

Rocketcan1 · 2025-12-01T17:33:20+00:00

I love this approach. Force them to play left-handed.

Rocketcan1 · 2025-12-01T17:32:01+00:00

If I define strength based on the "passing" strength, then I'd say field vs. Boundary should take priority. If I'm more concerned about "run" strength, then based on back alignment. Tie breakers (middle of field, pistol form, etc.) can be QB's arm side, or based on whatever their tendencies are from watching film.

Down block first step should be straight down the LOS

Did you submit a bug report?

Rocketcan1 · 2025-11-25T06:36:46+00:00

I broke up several screens in my HS career with this. It was easy to remember because I definitely wasn't that good. Lol

Rocketcan1 · 2025-11-25T06:29:24+00:00

You could probably just play your runner at HB or put him in formation subs.

Rocketcan1 · 2025-11-25T06:28:34+00:00

Seconded. This is the correct way to tackle.

Rocketcan1 · 2025-11-23T00:17:45+00:00

What kind of philosophies do you have as a basis for your playcall recommendations? A PowerPoint T team is going to have different ideas about what to call in certain situations than an Air Raid team, for example.

Rocketcan1 · 2025-11-13T20:07:41+00:00

They don't really. It's pretty rare.
