The offense is clicking and the defense is all over the field. At least for the first half.  Then in the second half, the offense sputters. The holes that were there before aren't there anymore. The receivers seem to run slower. The defense, which was doing a great job in the first half, is letting the other team run more and more. The safeties and corner backs start missing tackles. They end up losing the game, when they looked like the much better team in the first half.  I can't figure it out. I'm not doing anything different from half to half, and it doesn't happen all the time, just once in awhile. Has anyone else run into this? |
..what do expect from a buch of bozos and wolves and fairies!
However on a serious note, Al I have observed this in the past because someone brought it to my attention some years ago. If i may indulge the story....
... in those days, my teams were maybe 20 players total. Within that I used only one O-line/D-line - 5 guys that played the game both ways. So while I am playing Dale Smith he asked my "had I noticed my line getting tired during the game?" while I said no and thought nothing else about it until the next time we played and paid attention to the fact...well sure enough they started having the effects that you described Al...
Now let me ask you one question Al .... Are you playing both ways ... meaning that the offense plays defense too??
Go to 35 plus players and use subs and that way they will be fresh players.......
