Were your receivers open ?
It is always easier to hit some short passes first, that way you can build some confidence before attempting the deeper passes .

Default HEY COACH..................

MAN THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME, HERE'S WHAT I DID-CHANGED (QB)'S MY FAVORITE ONE WAS NOT STURY ENOUGH. AS YOU KNOW WE PLAY BY A CLOCK, I ALWAYS TAKE 5-SECONDS TO FOCUS AND RELEASE WITH 2-3 SECONDS TO GO. PLUS I SHOOT A LOT OF 10-15 YARD ROUTES

Default Play me

Coach,

I just think you need to play a game against me. You always seem to raise your game when we meet.

See you Saturday.

Joe G

Cool Coach Jeff: Due to the fact that I feared passing I only recall once looking and

having 1 wr open. I hit 1 short pass. I begun to play predictable defenses aginst the pass and predictable offenses in use of the run. At the end of last BAM season, I let it all loose and before SB-1, te doubt kicked in. Coach Joe thanks and as one of my most greatest mentors in this game, i look forward to going back to the basics.

Default go back to the basics

Coach Campbell,

I refer you back to the basics....

go back to practice passing on the regular ...

go to the rookie's page and reference some of the passing post and go back to training....

sounds like a slight, but it works!

Default Hope this helps

I know I have some set defenses that will work. I also have some sets that are designed to let you move the ball, but prevent the big play. If you are giving up 28 points in the second half then it is obvious that you expose your best and have no backup. You, my friend, are in a rut. Save your monster blitzes and tricks for when you need them, not the first two possessions. Run a base defense, let them make the mistake, then use an ace play for plays that will change possession only. By doing so, your opponent never quite fully understands why he can't score. If he can't understand, he will be forever believing that he is that close to breaking one when he is actually a mile away. The other advantage of starting off base defense, it gives you the chance to adjust your matchups so when you do come at them, you would have studied their team from your base look. Huge advantage going into the second half


On Offense. Take Jim's advice. Create more running plays. Misdirections, sweeps, change the pace. The last thing you should be doing with a lead is airing it out anyways. Make them stop you, and don't be afraid to bring in extra linemen, declare them as tight-ends, and try to knock some teeth out. Pass when necessary with a lead, not because of wanting to score quickly. What ultimately happens is you give up the ball quickly, stop the clock for the other team, thus extending the game and exposing your team's scheme.
With a lead run clock and score, or shorten the game. Trust this, you gave that opponent 14 extra points with that chuck and duck. When you get your passing together, I still suggest you run when that far ahead. Hope this helps.
