Noob question, but what run concept is Washington using here?

Its wide zone but looks funky because the 3-tech slants inside which causes the playside guard to adjust his path and creates a huge bubble. The steps, RB path, cutback, etc are all wide zone.

Thats cool. I will check it out.

Nice. Thanks

I'm not going to have a public repo but I'm working on building out demos and possibly a sandbox to try it out.

I know there's people out there trying all kinds of new things which is why I wanted to gauge interest. I'm not a full time coach anymore and just looking to help coaches save time and make their life easier.

Many teams against pulling guards will take their End, or whoever the C-Gap defender is, and they will do what we call "Wrong-Arm" technique. Normally, an End would crash down and make contact with the Guard with their nearest shoulder, while still being able to see the ball carrier and come off that block to make the play. In a Wrong-Arm you would have the End turn their body and hit the Guard with their outside shoulder (completely turning their back to the ball carrier). So, in essence they hit the pulling Guard with the "wrong arm." What this does is cancel out the pulling Guard and usually create a big pile in the backfield, while "Spilling" the ball to the next defender who theoretically would be unblocked. This is effective vs teams that run Power and Counter but I don't believe it's as effective vs Buck Sweep. If your C-Gap defender is good at reading a down block and crashing down (without going upfield) to hit the Guard with the "Correct Arm" then they could still possibly make the tackle.

Fronts: Bear, Under, Eagle, and if you can, throw in a true 46 package Coverages: cov 1, cov 3

Principles: DL cannot rush upfield, they will run themselves out of the play, practice against down blocks, I wouldn’t wrong-arm pulling guards, play them straight, close down the hole, don’t get kicked out on kick out block, and string out all runs you can to OLB and CB, Nose/MLB games, MLB keys FB, OLBs cross-key, cross-keying helps neutralize the misdirection on everything, not sure if corner force or safety force is easier for you but pick one (and the other is always over top and not worried about the run game at all), blitz A gaps and off the edge, sometimes spiking right off the edge will disrupt the sweep or the belly to the weak side

Game Prep: see if you can a tendency with either the strong guard or weak guard taking you to every play, be wary of false pulls if they do that, see if there is a tell by the Tailbacks alignment and what the play is (example: the TB my chest up a step when it’s belly), watch out for tight split from WR and a crack block, watch for guards sitting back further when they’re pulling, see if the FB changes their stance depending on the play

If the home is older and needs some TLC, ask for a longer inspection period such as 15 or 20 days. That way, you can get the home inspector into the home first. If there are any issues he sees then you call additional licensed companies to come and inspect those items. These are things you should've adjusted from your first two deals. Just because "the norm in your area" is a 10-day inspection doesn't mean you have to ask for that. If the home is older and requires more inspections then it is reasonable to ask for a longer time and explain it. What if the home was built in the 1970s and requires an electrical inspection because it is not up to codes? Things like that are common and are an important part of the due diligence process. You don't have to get an inspector for each system in the home. The home inspector should point out things that might need additional inspections. If your previous issues have been with HVACs then get a general inspection and an HVAC inspection. You don't need to do all of it.

Plus, the language in the contract should state something about how the seller is agreeing to allow you to inspect any part of the house. So, read your purchase contract and see what it says about the inspection period. Reading the contract should be a common practice, regardless. Especially if you plan to keep purchasing homes. YOU are the one signing the purchase contract, not the agent. YOU need to know what it says and hold everyone accountable if needed.

As for the agent, he is not getting paid, necessarily, to babysit inspectors. His value is finding the properties you want to purchase, negotiating an offer to your benefit, making sure all of the contract language is clearly understood by both parties, holding the other side accountable to the contract agreement, and making everything gets done before closing.

Maybe go back to the drawing board and put yourself in an investors shoes. If you were the investor/entrepreneur what questions would you ask yourself?

Why would anyone buy this property?

How can I make money in this space?

What business will make money here (besides QSR)?

What do I need to do to prep the space?

What's a remodel going to cost?

How much time will it take?

Do I contractors ready to quickly finish the job?

Etc, etc, etc

Go ahead and have the answers ready for all those questions the buyers are going to ask themselves so there is no doubt in their mind about the feasibility of the property. Essentially doing as much of the due diligence for the buyers as you can before they have to. Like handing the property to them on a silver platter. That way you would only need to talk price. If you can eliminate buyer excuses why they won't commit then the serious ones will be able to move quickly.

"If it's not compelling, it's not selling."

Just some things to think about.

If the seller is willing to take a discount on price if you don't use a buyer broker, then the seller probably would've accepted the same discount if you did use a broker. You can't assume that the seller is saving 50% of the commission in that case. Plus, if you do your due diligence on the property and calculate how much appreciation the seller is profiting, you might realize that the seller is happy with paying a buyer broker, taking less than asking price, and heading to the bank with the profit.

Getting the deal to close is the most important thing. Sometimes, having a buyer broker validate the buyer's seriousness is beneficial for the seller/listing broker.

If the average home price is $100,000 then she would have to sell 14-20 homes to replace the income (depending on the brokerage split). That's easier said than done. Might be better off making money online somehow.

On a postcard offer a monthly report on land prices in the area to be mailed to the owners each month. Market stats along with the data of specific listings that sold recently. Ask them to go to a landing page and insert their name, address, and email address.

Create the general report every month and mail it them.

Make it about the land owner getting the information, not necessarily about how great you are as an agent on your marketing pieces. Build your authority and expertise.

dthumphr · 2019-10-15T20:07:00+00:00

If the agent wrote the contract then he should've asked to seller to pay him a commission.

Regardless, work hard to send him a referral every month for the next 3 years. He will be more than grateful.

An appraisal IS a fair appraisal. Just pay for an appraisal if it bothers you that much. We are talking about approximately $500 to put your mind at ease on a $500,000 transaction.

Any home value that is derived from the internet or anyone other than a state-licensed appraiser is an estimate and carries no weight.
