On Passing Zones and Coverages

Jimmie,

On the MPFL DVD, there is a Special Features section called "Plays from scrimmage." We basically shot three possessions, one ending in an interception, the second in a saftey, and the third in a touchdown. Couldn't really use them so they were cut and moved to the extras section. There were about 6 or 7 plays in all on that feature. There are also plays run during the demonstrations themselves.

That is why we made the video. I can't think of a single thing on that DVD that we could have done better. Lord knows we took our time and great care in getting it done.

But the answer is yes, we are able to show these plays in action.

....this thread's explanation is great! Do any of you more experienced coaches incorporate these strategies?

...these plays ONLY work if you play with stoppages as in the MPFL System or my College Season. With the traditional "Mug the WR at the LOS" style that most everyone plays, and especially since you can see if a guy lines up in Zone or not from the initial setup, there is very little room for deception, which is needed to run these types of REAL Defenses.

Sure I could lineup in a Cover 2 or 3, but unless you allow stoppages, you could just let your WRs run right thru or past the zone coverage before you turn the board off. If you do allow stoppages, then the DC can gauge the depth of his coverage based on the speed and direction of your WRs instead of just running backwards blindly.

I can show video after video, but if you don't play that way, then it's just like watching TV - it wouldn't apply.

Sounds like I need to investigate the MPFL system.
