one-stop or multi-stop

When playing out in public venues it is "One-Stop" (very misleading term sometimes) by far over "Multi-Stop" (another very loose term).

At home I play neither. I play a form of what we use to use back in the mid 1980's. It is neither multi nor one stop by definition. It really has no definition. But I guess since we're working with one and multi terms I can offer some sort of comparison term. Best I can do is Limited Stop. Meaning in comparison to the other two.... Usually more than one stop (but not always) but not every X seconds either. There are time phase elements involved on proper plays that logically support it. Other aspects are dictated by movement of the players on the board. It's the most fun for me over all other systems I've played under. But it is definitely not mainstream.

[i]Well I am so pleased that we are able to chat about this subject. I hope that we can keep an open mind, and try to understand.

1: There is nothing wrong with one stop, IF that is what you like ! Play it, be happy with it.

2: If you have never played in the MPFL System, ( I hate the term multi-stop ) then you really have not understanding of what it takes to play.

3: You can't combine the two styles, it would be like playing chess with checker pieces. ( no disrespect intended ). The foundations of the two are not the same.

4: One point that coaches of the one stop miss is " The turning of the players represent individual players reaction. "

Think of this, YOU are in a real game, lets say your the MLB. The ball is snapped, you are holding your position, and READING the movement of the O line ( 1 the snap ) You see that the play is moving to your right, what do you do ? drop back, or stay home ? or attact ? You see the hand off ( 2 ) the back cuts back, now what do you do ? ( 3 )

It is all about move and counter move. There is no game played, baseball, basketball, football ect that the players are not able to react to the movement in front of them.

My system allows you to do just that. Now without getting offended, there is no way on earth that a base without being turned can change direction 2to4 times durring the play development. I know that this is true because I played one stop most of my life.

Please lets not debat one stop with MPFL there not the same. If your happy with one stop then be happy with it. You have no reason to defend that style, or prove a point, it is not about that.

We just want to show what my system does, what it offers.

Ok I Was Not Dissing The Mpfl Style Because As We Spoke On The Phone About...i Would Like To Try The Style Before Prejudging....and Being A Former Football Player And Coach At The Semi Pro Level, I Feel Like This Will Challenge My Football Knowledge And Allow Me To Transfer That Knowledge To The Ef Field...all I Was Trying To State Was That It Is Very Possible To Run The Similiar Plays In One Stop That You Run In The Mpfl...burgess We Spoke About This At Great Length And You Know That I Understand Your System And I Am Not Trying To Disrespect Your System....just Wanna Play Ef And Enjoy The Game While Playing Whether It Be One Stop Mpfl Or Any Other Style That I Will Try In The Future .....
Peace

Hey Morgan, I'm not offended, not at all. Please don't feel that way. I just don't want coaches to compair the two like that.
