So far everything makes sense and I'm excited to practice it with my team, but a few questions still remain. <br />1. Center's steps - Which foot first? Does it matter? <br />2. Line splits - I am assuming that the wide three foot splits are the best because that's what Tech has used. Any other thoughts? It probably spreads out Defensive lines so blitzes and stunts are easier to pick up as well as putting defenders farther away from the QB. <br />3. Finally, I am really curious about the reasoning Hemlock gives for the benefits of the vertical drop combined with the AirRaid launchpoints? Are you suggesting that the kick slide is less effective for the AirRaid?The Flipped Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988657460447662054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-8831423353047989522010-03-31T20:18:09.424-05:002010-03-31T20:18:09.424-05:00Hemlock.

Also, love the run n shoot would love to hear your thoughts. So keep it coming! Great job by the way! Thats my pep talk now please get to work!

I am not a line coach, but isn't it usually the outside foot that goes first in the slide step? I am big on footwork so if someone could break that down for me it would be neat-o.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-6710876624498039802010-03-31T19:17:42.384-05:002010-03-31T19:17:42.384-05:00I would have to disagree with Anonymous on this ma...I would have to disagree with Anonymous on this matter. First, I would say that you cannot coach both. Your linemen will never develop the technique required to execute either set well. Second, the it depends on what you do. For reasons that I will outline in an upcoming series of posts on the Run-N-Shoot, vertical sets do not marry up well with what the Shoot does. However, for types of launchpoints the AirRaid uses its perfect. Third, the proof is in the pudding. TexasTech has been a vertical set team for years and they are amongst the nation's leaders in sacks allowed.Hemlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644057244238742226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-73288904270569415902010-03-31T13:06:26.515-05:002010-03-31T13:06:26.515-05:00Vertical sets have their place but I would caution...Vertical sets have their place but I would caution coaches about using them for all situations. The problem with a vertical set is you don't get enough of the guy covered. The advantage of the kick slide is you can get the guy covered and then react of him. The vertical set IMO is easier to teach and may be a better option for some but I don't believe it is the better alternative to kick slides at the college level where you have much more time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
