Passing in the 70's

[efgamer]

Coaches, as I have stated before, I returned to electric football earlier this year. When I was a kid in the early 70's, there were 6 or 7 of us kids in the neighborhood who played electric football. We didn't know much about football, but we knew that you had to run, and, or pass the ball in order to move down field. On occasion, only 1 or 2 of us could actually complete a pass with the ttqb. Our running backs seldom had the speed or the direction for any capable ground attack against stacked defenses. We had to improvise, so we got us some fat popsicle sticks and placed that little ball on the stick in the area of the qb's head and gave it a flick!! We got pretty good at it over time. We would put our fastest man at receiver and try and get the ball to him. Soon we got smart on defense and started stacking db's on the good men. To make this long story short, we realized that if we had no chance of getting a man open, the game of electric football was no----oo good. In many ways that is where the state of electric football is now, and especially to newbies who cannot compete because of tweaking abilities, and cover corners who hold. We as kids realized this, so we began allowing the offense to pivot our backs and receivers after the defense set up. I guess what I am trying to say is that it really doesn't matter to me what kind of passing rule is allowed, but is does matter that a receiver does have some sort of way to a least simulate a route and have a chance to get open. This will go a long way in making a defense play defense and open up this game to where there are better rushing teams in electric football. Thanks Coaches, and just some of my my thoughts for the day!
