KICKING GAMES
Hey french,
This is what i do and actually love it. FOR 1 I DO NOT USE THE TTQB FOR KICKING OR PUNTING. I USE A WEIGHTED BASE WITH FOOTBALL ON TOP OF THE BASE.
I weight the base a little with a Nut or puddy underneath. I do this since there is no player on top of the base. I attach a PAINT BRUSH CLEAR TUBE with a football glued on top of the tube. You can use a full straw for a higher/taller effect.
I set up the offense and defense in there regular kicking game formations
I then place the BASE WITH BALL attached were the kicker would be. I put a magnet under the kicker base to hold it's position for a few seconds.
** I put a perimiter around the BASE WITH BALL. Similar to a horse shoe. (three yards around the base with ball in the front and on both sides).This perimeter can be held down via magnet also.
I cut the board on for exactly 2 seconds. The premise is for any defender to break through and hit that perimeter. If they hit the perimeter it indicates they are just about to jump in the air for the block. The magnet is taken off the base with ball and bwb is put back in position. The perimeter is moved and the defenders are left exaclty where they were on the perimeter. The field is cut on simulating the ball is about to be kicked and airborne. Those defenders that made it to the perimiter were close enough to knock the base with ball off course for the block. THEY STILL MAY MISS THOUGH. I should have mentioned that all the other players are moved to the side once the perimeter is lifted.
***THE PUSH UP FRONT EFFECT
if a defender pushes an offensive player back and the BACK OF THE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS BASE HITS THE PERIMETER. That defender pushed the pile and is eligible for the block.That offensive lineman is removed along with everyone else (unless more defenders made it to the perimeter) and that defensive lineman who pushed the pile can run and knock the BWB offcourse once the board is turned on.
****IF NO DEFENDER MAKES IT TO THE PERIMETER
EVERYONE IS MOVED TO THE SIDE AND THE BALL IS KICKED AND IN THE AIR.
its fun watching the BWB going down field headed toward the goal post.
It is not as easy as it sounds. That BWB can veer left or right at any given moment and the extra point or field goal will be no good.
I JUST PERSONALLY LOVE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT ON THE FIELD !!!!!!
*****PUNTS
Im still working on the punts but i use the EXACT SAME SET UP AS I JUST DESCRIBED. 2 seconds to getto that perimeter for the block. If no one makes it to the perimeter, the board is turned on and the punt is in the air for 3 seconds. I just cant figure out where to send the ball downfield for the 3 seconds since the other players must stay on the field to cover the put.
maybe i will send the ball down field with 2 gunners on the sides. once the ball reaches the return man, i will have to figure out a fair place to put the other players back for the blocks and tackles
