Hey Lynn,

I hope these pictures give guys a glimpse of what it's like to play the divider style of football. Rarely do our plays end up in a rugby scrum. Because if you commit too many of your defenders to a stack style defense... You will get burned. I repeat... You WILL get BURNED!!!

Another thing... unless you know your opponent's tendencies extremely well (IE, you can tell when he's running); play your safeties at passing depths and mix in some cover-2 zone. Continuously cheating your safeties up to play the run will get you burned in our league. The main reason is because most of our coaches are very competent passers. They will wait until their receivers are past your safeties before turning off the board even if it puts their receivers 40+ yards down field.

The flipside is... coaches will press you if they don't think you can pass all that well. The safeties will play close to help squash your running game and the short passing game, until you show that you can throw a consistant deep ball.

All in all it's a fun style of play... no better or worse than any other style.

Peace,

Don
