It's not as it appears. With the correct use of the Pass Placement, SS, LB's Do what they are intended to do in pass defense. they have the chance to make a play on the ball. Position of the defeders take away types of pass routes. It also gives the pass rush time to get to the QB.
It totally eliminates luck, and puts it on the skill of coaching. A good DB is able to runn with the WR, not mug him at the line. This opens the door of opportinity for Pass intetference on both the WR and DB, gives the DB a chance to get an INT. And many more.

Just because a WR is running down field doesn't mean he is open. It might be a 5 yard Pass Placement stick for the WR, but the DB may have to run 8 yards or the SS may have to run 7 yards. All have a right to the ball and can make a play on the ball once the board is turned on, at that point it's up to the players not the coach.
The coach has done his job by placing the players in the right position to make plays.

When you bump, the side that the DB's helmet is on is the side he must stay on when he runs with the WR, if on the inside then the WR has the out route open, if on the out side then the WR has the slant. If the LB stays home then he takes away the slant by the WR, and with the SS up top the WR is not open for a 3 yard Pass Placement stick, but might be open for a bullet pass (TTQB)

Football players are smart and this should be reflected in how you play. They are not dumb. They don't just do one thing, they do many things on a given play. Opportunity to make plays is the name of the game, lets not limit the opportunity.

Its great talking football with the greats, in the DFW League they let you angle your players (wr's, rb's, lineman). So when trying to get a playbook together for this league or any other league you must figure out what's right

IN YOUR ESTIMATION

What's a sufficient playbook in electric football ?

1) how many offensive plays ?
2) how many defensive plays ?

DO YOU GUY'S HAVE PLAYS JUST FOR THE RED ZONE ?

Say you have a super strong defensive lineman, can you put him in as running back or as a extra blocker in the backfield for GOALINE PURPOSES ?


O. K. So i can throw the ball to whoever i want (receiver or back) behind the line of srimmage as long as the qb is not beyond the LOS ?

THANX

please, everyone chime in with the wisdom of football ! I hope this post helps many other coaches and not just myself. If you already know your stuff just read this a refresher course !!!!!!!!

DO YOU GUY'S RUN STUNTS ON DEFENSE (BLITZ PACKAGES, ETC ETC).

Ant, please elaborate on the bump and run, it seems receivers are open all day in tourneys (mine included). I see the DB'S will have to cover a area.

EACH LEAGUE IS SO DIFFERENT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR GUY'S FROM VARIOUS LEAGUES TAKE ON HOW THE GO ABOUT THERE GAMEPLANS !!!!!

HOW IMPORTANT ARE THE SAFETIES IN YOUR DEFENSIVE ARSENOL
