I thought I said this earlier about the run and pass. Yes, in the DFW, you can stack anywhere! You can stack anywhere in the NFL, college or high school, right?

We do not pass on every play. That is just out-right misinformation! Guys have rushers who average over 100 yards per game. I've got backs (2 to be exact) averaged more than 80 yards apiece and I threw for more than 300 yards per game.

Those are pretty impressive stats. We take what the defense gives us. So don't get it wrong, why would I run into a defensive scheme meant to stop the run when it's like taking candy from a baby when you have no safety coverage and I can throw 40 yard strikes in one deep coverage? That's called practice. It's simple to me what the issue is.

In the DFW, we don't miss those opportunities to exploit that. But I hate it when mis-infomation about the rules come across the chat page about what goes on here. Running is possible.

What the problem I think is guys want to be able to average 8, 9 yards per rush. In the DFW, the averages are more like 4-5 yards per run with 15-25 carries by the great backs. Sometimes they get 200 yards and in rare cases, 300 yards. That's where "any touch" limits the high averages. However, under this style of play, scoring is never a problem and the speed of the game nor the flow. There is a reason our league does well.

It's most exciting to us to be in a league where scores can be 45-37 just as well as 7-3. But the problem and frustration is simple and it usually centers in discussions of frustrations concerning holes not being open. Learn how to pass with proficiency and running holes open because you can't cheat up to stop the run. Then you stop the stack!

Coaches, please understand that if you are gonna play in the CBSMF, stacking is a part of it! You've got a year to practice the forward pass. Work on it! Or you will walk away frustrated and disappointed and blame the rules. If you can pass, it opens up everything else, including the run. Trust me, the run in our league, is not a problem at all. But you can not have one without the other in the DFW and win anything. So we all practice very hard to be well-rounded.
