Altenative To Sticks "what Do You Think'

[mantaraydre]

I RAN THIS BY A FEW COACHES AND THEY SEEM TO LIKE THE IDEA SO HEAR IT GOES. I think 'THE STICKS" are not liked by some because the measuring process is to slow which makes the game drag somewhat.

What if we took away the sticks and added the shake box with the 12 sided dice. COACH CALLS PASS "HAS 15 TO 20 SECS TO THROW'

1)BOARD STOPS (He has 5 seconds to pick an intended receiver, point to him saying his number)

2) he has 10 secs to shake the box and put the ball down. (ie; shakes box, if the 2 dice read a 7 and a 6, he can put the ball 13 yards anywhere on the field ahead of the intended receiver only and angle him to the ball. The defense gets 5 secs to angle only the db's or db's and lb's in the immediate vicinity. This will mimic the qb leading the intended receiver. If you visualize this happening in real time it moves very fast. same amount of time it takes to pass with the TDQ OR TTQB.

SO STOP BOARD, SURVEY FIELD, SHAKE BOX, PUT BALL DOWN, CUT BOARD ON. this will force the offense to make a very quick decision just like the pro qb's. You dont have time to tie your shoes and make a cup of coffee looking for a receiver
**** IF YOU DONT PICK A INTENDED RECEIVER IN 5 SECS YOU THREW IT INTO THE STANDS.

NOW IM JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE, IF SOMEONE CAN LOOK AT THS AND PERFECT THE TIMING BETTER THAN I CAN I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE JIMBO MOLD THIS INTO SOMETHING.

If you think using the sticks slows things up, should'nt this speed thing up.
Take into consideration there are coaches who have back and leg problems that can't hop up to there feet fast with a tdq or ttqb in hand. They can sit comfortably and know they have a passing option that won't slow things up for the other coach. Shake box, put ball down without leaving your feet. The only thing is you better have your count right in regards to yardage. Just focus on 10 yards then add or subtract. someone must determine what is underthrown and overthrown, (using 18yds or so as the furthest distance, if those dice come up 10 and 9, overthrown. 0 0 underthrown, 0 and a 1 the ball is a perfect pass that hit the receiver in the hand. I dont think anyone's receiver is going to miss the ball 1 yard away.

ps/ anywhere the amount of yardage on the field. If your receiver is in the middle of the field and you think he can win a track meet to either sideline to get the ball, put the ball over there. Remember, there going to be some db's in the vicinity so you must know that your wideout or running back is that kind of playmaker. "LETS CALL TOM BRADY AND ASK HIM HOW MUCH TIME HE HAD TO THROW IN THE SUPERBOWL!!! '
