ARE VENUS FLY TRAPS ALLOWED IN THE DSEFL

I've recently seen pictures of some figures that have crept back onto the vibro-turf...The ULTIMATE LOCKDOWN CORNER.

How much coaching does it take to line-up 3, 4 or 5 of those guys and let them do a Jack "Stick Um" Tatum on receivers? No need for Cover schemes. No need to worry about anything other than the Run. No need to coach.

Not too long ago when the BB CVRs came out, we went through this same argument. But at least BB had the good sense to create poses that would combat "Lt. Lockdown" - "Beast" and "Thunder".

After evaluating some of the pictures I've seen, I don't see a popsicle's chance in a turkey fryer of anyone getting away from those venus fly traps! Except of course if we do some creative and ingenius customizing, which IMHO would take away from the flavor of the game of football and it would then become a custom freak show.

So, DSEFL Commish (and others who wish to chime in for conversation-sake), LMK how I gotta build my SAINTS. With or without "Huggy Bears" and "Huggy Bear Busters."

I'm not here to start no trouble. I'm just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Jasper and myself will assure you that once the new season starts we will not be allowing those type of figures. Soon we will be posting pictures of how we expect the players to look from the incoming coaches, so once that is done that will be the official figures.

Let me inform all DSEFL 2009 PRO season coaches. The venus fly trap pose has no place in this league at any position. You may use Buzz Ball OL or CC or REG Fig. These figures must be on a full flat plat form and must make weight. You are allowed double side tape or glue to hold your player, you may want to look at rules for more details about this . There will be know chewing gum used as glue. In my previous rule we allowed painted base. There will be know painted base in this league. We want to have a league where your skills are your strength not what you hide in between the plat form and base. In our first season we had a coach that used lead tape the entire season and didn,t find out until he finish the season. So with that in mind here is a picture of what is not allowed. Base painted, home depot products added, plat form jack up. Look at the arms this the Venus fly trap or is that a custom pose. If you have custom pose like that please post it.

Arms are too wide

just need a little clarity. Are we allowed to sand the platforrm down for our figures to make weight. When you said full base I am under the impression that we can't cut the base to make weight. If that is the case then I would have to place an order out for more figs. Thanks for the help. Fred

You can sand the plat form, you can cut base. Let me explain there are some coaches who cut the figure platform in half then put the figure on a base and add a illegal subtance like watchers, gum, lead tape,putty then cover it over with paint instead of useing legal material it was made with. I think a coach should present a quality looking team. Not crazy looking one.

DSEFL COACHES,

I absolutely hate those extremely wide armed custom/altered poses. It is as clear as the driven snow they are created specifically to grab your WR. It is a second line of defense if the receiver should slip past the Db's trying to get up field. It's thee, "WHERE YOU THINK YOUR GOING SONNY routine".. Or your grandma wanting some sugar when she first sees you. It clearly states your trying to trap someone. " THIS IS NOT PATRIOTIC " . Basketball players are taught to play wide armed to get there hand on the ball if it is thrown left or right. Also, defensive guards play wide armed alot to slap a pass away, get a steal. and cut off the dribbilers path if he is going left or right to the basket. THIS IS WHAT THESE PLAYERS DO IN ELECTRIC FOTTBALL. " CUT OFF A WR PATH BY ANY MEANS " AND CAUSE A TRAFFIC JAM

HOPE THESE PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED

THANX

Even tho that guy may have some long arms...they are wide, and will not grab and hold the receiver in place. Rather they will release him, and once the guy runs into the arm that corner will most likely turn with the guy and run with him.......perfect coverage.

In the NEFL, you can only have 2 CC on defense at a time. If caught, it's an 15yd unsportsmanlike conduct foul & automatic 1st down!

That's pretty bad to add illegal stuff to the fig. Where's the fun in doing that?
We had the Deuce league this year....about 12-14 young coaches playing, and not once did they have an altercation. Not once did they argue a call. But the 32 NEFL coaches.......Oh boy!!!
At times we were the ones acting like kids. But having the Deuce in the building made us watch ourselves a bit more.
Grown ups learning from kids.......... Go figure!

Thanks. Still working my way back into the hobby. That's funny. I remember when guys used to use pennies and small nuts on the bases for strength.

Can anyone tell me the reason to have men like this!!!!
