Tweaking and the NFL combine

[HOOP]

Is it me, or are they similar? Here is what i am seeing.....

Sometimes (thankly, not all the time), i tweak a team by individual player and get them to do what i want, THEN, when i set them up with the rest of their team and run a full team drill, they run elsewhere . I relate it to the combine because in the individual workouts, they are monsters. Once the real practice begins with their teammates, they flop! Yeah, i got a few "workout wonders".

I wonder if the other guys make them move differently with some sort of science involved in that?

I found that I have to get the whole team on the board, sometimes both O and D to make sure guys run the way I like. They run differently then when they are on a board by themselves. The extra players affect the vibration I guess. Anyway, just like in real life you have to have the team move in concert together. They have to be in a certain place before, during, and after a play.

Exactly what I have found out. Even when I put a backfield on the board alone and get the timing of the play. Then, when I put everyone on the board, the timing is different and I have to tweak it a little more.

YEP! And let's not even mention when you put them on another board altogether. There is nothing like finding out right before a game that your team runs differently on an opponent's board. That 32 counter trap looks more like a mass of confusion.

I'm learnin'....I'm learnin'.

Yeah, well this weekend is going to be my first league play in EFL (Dixie League) and I've been playing (practicing) on a slow 620. So, it's going to be very interesting to see how all my diligent practicing did when I have to probably refigure all the timing.

I have learned from the wisdom of our "Elder tweakers" NR, GH, JD, KL, VP, GH, etc...you must have multiple boards to tweak for various surface(field Conditions). I have had games with athletes that hurt the competition on metal....then get "turf toe" on vinyle Is it my lack of preparation or the need to wear 'multi-surface cleats?" You must "tweak, let it settle and retweak in a couple of days". I am in love with art of tweaking...and as an Elder told me "The Greatest Pleasure is seeing your tweaked athlete do work" example #12 Doug Williams led BAM with over 700+ after starting the season (post-tweaked) He had had less than 100 in 3 games (Pre-tweaked)... Led the league with 700+ and he ran well on all surfaces
All interested in Dougie, he will be a free agent at the end of The 2009 Season....honorable base draft.....sike

One of the things I learned from a few of the great tweakers in my area is that your team should be tweaked to run well on most surfaces.

Vince148, I only have one board but I'm fortunate enough to have a few coaches that are great at letting me scrimmage on their boards. I also learn about tweaking from them. That helped get my team ready for multiple surfaces. I still have a ways to go but I see improvement.
