Wrong Arm!

We run a 42 and sometimes roll (what would be a big SS) up on him and look to get physical with the TE at the first step. With an immediate jam. We like to do this playing C2 to the strongside.

We have him cocked inside eyeballing the TE's "Riddell" sticker on his helmet. Once he flinches, we make a quick 6" power step with the inside foot, immediately puching with the inside hand.

If he goes down on the DE, we push his hip with inside hand (don't want more than a hand on that) and immediately look to spill / wrong arm the FB / OG for power.

If he reaches, we punch that inside and maintain the outside leverage, slowly allowing to drift with movement.

If he releases vertical, we jam and ride him into the SILB, then 'throw the hammer' to bail to the "Curl" opening outside.

When we put a OLB in a 9 tech, we're playing (most teams do) Cover 2. He is not outside run force here, so we want him spilling it to the perimeter.

"wrong arm" - we wrong arm the trap & power.

We teach wrong arm as giving up your outside shoulder to take on an inside block (kick out). We take our outside flipper and aim for the inside thigh board of the load block. Create a pile.

We play a nickel as our base, but our personnel is that of a 4-3, really, just that we flip the SLB and SS. If you have a TE and two backs we'll be in under. if it's third and long and you have two backs, we might be a 4/4 look so the sam is not on the LOS. If there is one back and a TE we might be in under but we do play some over but we would have a 7 tech with the de. In our structure we will never play a DE in a 9 tech, not that it's bad it's just different for what we do

Here is a clip we would show our SS's in the summer to help them understand just what the heck we are trying to teach them when we roll them up as 9 techniques. It is a bitch of a position to master and Romo was the man at playing it (hence the example of him wrong-arming the load).

“…prohibit, as an unfair and deceptive act or practice, the promotion, marketing, and advertising of any post- season NCAA Division I football game as a national championship game unless such game is the culmination of a fair and equitable playoff system.”

Without every NCAA FCS Conference having a end-of-season championship game, the BCS still would be left in the same mess it is now........at the mercy of non-game watching sports writers who vote on appearance, prestige, and fandom. So why delay the inevitable? Why not just enjoy the Bowl season and appreciate the games for what they are?

Out Kicking Your Coverage

One of these isn't like the others.......

When you are a young billionare, always strive for peak performance.
Your coverage should match the front - clearly the IHOP waitress at the top is fundamentally unsound.


* sorry for the lack of posts this week (after a rousing weekend of championship games). I am working on a more in-depth breakdown of the TCU coverage rules and examine it with game footage, but I'm stuck in training all week and heading to New Orleans this weekend.

Hall Of Fame: Roger Craig

No, he's not....

But here's a pitch to persuade you to voice a show of support for Craig's accomplishment at;

http://www.fanschoice.com/

Roger to the Hall (Facebook Group)

• 4 Pro Bowls
• 3 Super Bowls
• NFC Player of the Year (1988)
• NFL Offensive Player of the Year (1988)
• First player to score 3 TDs in a Super Bowl
• First player to rush and receive at least 1,000 yards in the same season
  (setting the mold for the future of NFL offenses ala Marshall Faulk, Reggie
  Bush, Brian Westbrook, etc).
  

Being a youngster growing up watching the Craig brothers at Davenport Central (and older brothers that played there), there are many fond memories of Friday nights and the Blue Devils. Here is an especially enjoyable moment in that history.....Central vs Cedar Rapids Washington on a (then) natural grass Brady Street Stadium surface, where Craig glides for 355 rushing yards.
