here is what I do
I am sure others have more 'advanced systems'. I am still trying to figure out how many stops i like to play with, but here is what I am doing at the moment.
I play a quick stop for 'the snap': the board goes for ~.5 sec just to get the 2 lines engaged and receivers started. "Run" or "Pass" is declared by the offense.
then the offense can run the board until they want to stop the board. (this really emphasizes getting pressure on the QB to make the board stop early to avoid a sack)
For Pass: the board is stopped when the offense wants and the pass placement sticks are placed in front of the designated receiver. If the receiver is turned/ angled to get to where the ball is placed then the defense can reposition 1 defender as well. Once the player makes it to the ball marker and makes the reception the defense can reposition all unengaged players to try and make the tackle (the receiver can be repositioned at the catch if you wish). If the receiver passes the marker, let the board run until the receiver is ~1 base length past to see if a fluke (immaculate) reception might happen or an INT. If the receiver can run straight to where the ball is placed and is not repositioned then the defense can't reposition either.
For Run: the board is stopped when the Offense wants and the offense can re-angle the runner and 1 other unengaged player (try to get some extra blocking) and the defense can reposition all unengaged players to try to tackle.
Any suggestions as to how I could improve my own 'system' would be appreciated!
