The Shootout Rules Allow...
both power and speed or a combination. One of the great things I see in the DFW League is that no two styles are alike. Even with Michael Robertson and myself, of course, our philosophies are very similar and our teams are built the same but I am more of a finesse coach. I really believe there is a place for sweeps, traps, fads, etc. I also believe there are great teams in this style that rely on power like the Jim Davis's and Norbert Revels of the world.
I love what Norbert brings because he brings a blend of power and speed to the table. I see a Michael Robertson who brings some power but a great deal of speed and knowledge of reading schemes.
I saw RJ match Revels for power and totally ahnialate a very good Detroit team with speed as well. There are the Don Hudsons who is such a great all-around player that beats you with coaching and execution.
In the DFW, because of the pressures of the clock, you have to know your players and their abilities to make plays off the break. There's one stop and one over compensation may be the difference between a win or loss.
Speed and power are definite traits of what happens in the Shootout rules system. I must also throw in skills to pass, kick, and run based on your playbook makes for a successful scheme.
