My Fellow Coaches I need you all. I have lost my passing MOJO and I have let leads of

Grand Master,

With these magic words from the sacred order of the water buffalo, I restore your passing Mojo for games when your behind. Please remember, when in doubt let the QB run it!!! Just ask the Raven Maniac. Hell of a play! I didn't even recognize it?

I know I have some set defenses that will work. I also have some sets that are designed to let you move the ball, but prevent the big play. If you are giving up 28 points in the second half then it is obvious that you expose your best and have no backup. You, my friend, are in a rut. Save your monster blitzes and tricks for when you need them, not the first two possessions. Run a base defense, let them make the mistake, then use an ace play for plays that will change possession only. By doing so, your opponent never quite fully understands why he can't score. If he can't understand, he will be forever believing that he is that close to breaking one when he is actually a mile away. The other advantage of starting off base defense, it gives you the chance to adjust your matchups so when you do come at them, you would have studied their team from your base look. Huge advantage going into the second half


On Offense. Take Jim's advice. Create more running plays. Misdirections, sweeps, change the pace. The last thing you should be doing with a lead is airing it out anyways. Make them stop you, and don't be afraid to bring in extra linemen, declare them as tight-ends, and try to knock some teeth out. Pass when necessary with a lead, not because of wanting to score quickly. What ultimately happens is you give up the ball quickly, stop the clock for the other team, thus extending the game and exposing your team's scheme.
With a lead run clock and score, or shorten the game. Trust this, you gave that opponent 14 extra points with that chuck and duck. When you get your passing together, I still suggest you run when that far ahead. Hope this helps.
