just want to hear your side of the heavy stacking that is going on across the board in these so called great leagues. for you as a coach or league to be considered one of the all time greats then the stacking must cease, and let the coaching do the winning. in my opinion stacking every play is not fun play it's slow play and it's bully ball! you might as well have boiled bases with pledge on the field against a team with proline bases(example). we used to do that in 1977 just want input on it please the world definitely needs it! again ANY STACKING SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, TO OPEN THE GAME UP!.LET THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER MAKE THE PLAY NOT A STACKED PLAYER.

Marty,
I don't know you but if Reg says your a good guy, your good in my books as well. I'm fairly new to EFL/MF, but have adapted real well, I have a desire to compete and fellowship just as the next guy does, but this debate about stacking I really don't get. I welcome any coach to stack the line on me as "MUCH" as he wants B/C there is no doubt in my mind that I can bring him out of the stack defense simply by exploiting him outside, If I want to run the ball I will, whether it be inside or outside. I actually intice coaches in the DFW league to stack by attacking them with an inside running game, then when they stack the DL I will destroy them with an outside game, either by running or passing, believe me when I tell you they will not stack for long. You must be able to adjust as a coach and take what the defense is giving you. Now if you continue to run in the middle against the stack then that's a bad coaching decision by the offensive coach. Don't be upset when coaches stack the line, man I lick my chops when they do this. Last season I had a coach in the DFW league so worried about the inside run, that he started stacking the defensive line of scrimmage on me. I only threw the ball 9 times that game but did run for 250 yards most around the left and right ends. It is truely a cat and mouse game that the offense has a huge advantage on. My advise to anyone that is having problems against the stack defense is honestly very simple. Create atheletes that churn putside. I have a very explosive offense that employs 7 different type of RB's. They travel to every game. I script my first few plays then basically attack what the defense gives me. I welcome any coach that would like to run a stack defense against the "DFW Raiders", you wont do it for long B/C I will destroy you with an outside game like no other.
Just my Thoughts
