2/27/01 at 5:08 PM by Sean R. Torregiano (torrgenem@juno.com) Hey Guys, Thanks for your help so far. Your input has been greatly appreciated and helpful. One more favor, I need some new inside/outside zone drills for footwork, technique, blitz pickup, and combo blocks. Basically, I want the whole shootin' match boys! We've been running a zone concept since I started coaching 6 years ago and have had a lot of success. My problem is we've been teaching it the same way for 6 years with little variation in our style and I worry it may get stale. I'm not trying to revolutionize the game, I just want a few more drills to add a little flavor to practice. The kids are taught the same stuff from the time they start in modified football. That's 6 years for some of these kids. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again, Sean T. 2/26/01 at 1:15 PM by Andy Guyon (Coachg36@aol.com) I am looking for help in defending the Wing-t and option attacks from a Under/ Over type package. I am also looking for things that people like to do with the game planning and philosophy of when they like to go call different things on defense. I am also looking for any playbvook material on the Stoops brothers. Thanks for the help. Andy Guyon Defensive Coordinator Weaver High school 2/23/01 at 11:36 AM by Joe Gutilla (jgutilla@bsm.pvt.k12.mn.us) We've been an I formation, zone team for a couple of years because we've had huge, experienced linemen. In the next few years we will be small, and next year we'll also be inexperienced up front. I am considering the Wyatt double wing because as I look toward the future it doesn't appear that we'll have a lot of size any time soon to continue runnning the zone scheme. Any DW coaches out there able to tell me what to expect the first year? 2/20/01 at 7:23 PM by Ray Hradek (rhradogg@gateway.net) Are there any books, articles, video tapes constructed by Hal Mumme or Mike Leach detailing their pass offense they have used at the schools they have coached at? 2/14/01 at 8:55 PM by R.Reinhart (RICKAR@STLNET.COM) 2 Questions; What is the best program for diagraming plays and putting together playbook, Also; theres got to be away to make highlight tapes without spending $5,000.00 on editing system. If I have digital camera and tape decks isn't there away to get it done. Which digital camera do you think is best for money? 2/13/01 at 9:59 PM by Tom Paradiso (Coachparo@aol.com) I am interested in Nebraska's robber coverage. This I believe involves the corners playing man to man the strong safety free( no pass responcibility) and the free safety is free to help on deep coverage. I need help on motion especially vs wing t. If any one can give me any info re: keys alignment etc I would be gratefull 2/12/01 at 12:28 PM by Steven Slater (slatersb@yahoo.com) Having not played football: 1 - how much 'makeup time and experience' is needed before one can be considered for a starting position, 2 - what positions will most likely be obtained, and 3 - what are the most effective ways to gain experience in the coaching field? (I am going to college for a coaching minor with an education major, reading/studying books and film, is there anything missing?) Thank you for all advice, Steven Slater 2/9/01 at 11:36 AM by Chris Lachney (chrislachney@hotmail.com) I need some advice on the number of combination routes/All routes I should have in my spread package. I have about 5 of each. Is this too many, not enough? Thanks, Chris 2/2/01 at 2:31 PM by Jim Lieux (jlieuxjr@aol.com) I have a very experienced team returning for fall 2001, what do you do if you have no experienced QB. The only prospect is a Freshman who is a good athlete but no experience. I would also like some info. on the 4-4 defense. Thanks, Jim 2/1/01 at 5:21 PM by Sean R.
