Default Taking From The MPFL

Did you know that many coaches and leagues are taking parts from the MPFL system and adding them to there rules set?

What does that tell you?

Would you buy a car if you cant drive ? How about jumping in a pool of water and you can't swim?

If you can understand that then you will understand this:

This example, leagues and coaches take the turning the DB around to run with the receiver from this system and add it to there.

They do this without understanding the reasons why this is the way it is.

1: You need stoppages!
2: You need magnets!
3: The Pass Placement needs to be correct!

Without using these 3 points above, turning the DB to run with the receiver will not be effective.

This hold true for all areas in this system, there is a support structure in place for each area to up hold and insure balance, and reflect actual football.

You cant build a house with out a blue print, without laying a foundation etc. Is it wise to build a house with out blue print, without a foundation ?

Or taking a part from a Ford vehicle and adding it to a Nissan ?

This is the same thing when coaches and leagues take something from this system and add it to there leagues.

What are you're views on this ?

Anthony, you're probably right about this, but this won't stop people from experimenting with their rules. However, they shouldn't try one aspect of your method, find that it doesn't work in their ruleset, then give up on the entire MPFL system that works so well.

Default I understand

I know that you are right however I wish that they understood that what they are trying to do has already been done with this system.

It's like I know where they are trying to go, I am already there and trying to give them directions, but they don't want to hear what I'm saying. So I am watching them go past and around there destination

It's funny to me, I get this picture of cave men trying to make fire with two sticks, so I walk up to them and give them a lighter and show them how to use it. But they take the lighter and rub it on the sticks, hit the lighter with the sticks, doing every thing with it except use it the right way,

Then get upset because they cant get it to work there way! LOL, LOL, LOL!!!

But some coaches are finding out just how this system works and they are loving it!!!!!!

I guess some are just to stubborn to admit that this system works better then what they are currently doing. They will catch on in time.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with this. This is how you get various systems in anything. An idea is born, then someone sees a different use or better way to apply it. If that were not the case, we'd all still be watching b&w tv, carrying around three cases of 8-tracks in our cars and still using rotary telephones.

People that try new things or try to make existing things better should be complimented, supported and encouraged, not chastised.

Default How is ...

turning a DB to run unique to the MPFL?

Any coach could choose to do this any time in any rule set.

Wouldn't even have to know about your system or have seen the video even.

There would not need to be a league protocol to allow it.

Not sure this is the best example.

Got any others of how people are borrowing from the MPFL -that you specifically know was taken from the MPFL system?

You would have to see the system for you're self in order to understand. Yes I specifically know people who have done just that, in fact I know how they played befor, and now I see how they are now playing after being exposed to the system.

I would invite you to truly understand what I have writen, think of this as I have said befor, would you take a part off of a ford mustang and put it on a nissan 350z ? No you would not because these part are made for a specific for that type of car and not the other.

When you add somthing it is wise to fully understand how it effects all areas of what you're doing.

I am fairly sure that turning a DB to run with the receiver works in systems other than the MPFL - and was probably done long before the MPFL style existed.

In fact I now it works and has been done before.

I AM HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY MANY ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS POST!!!!!

I am speaking of men, coaches, leagues who I know for a fact did not turn DB's to run with the WR until they were exposed to the MPFL system!!!!!!

That is the point !!!!!!! Why and how are some of you defending what others are doing when that is not the subject of this post!
You got it twisted!!!!!!

I guess if some one was using a floating pass placement ball you will defend that to, when I know for a fact that no one in this hobby had ever thought of that and if they have it, it would be after they have seen the DVD, or have been around me and have seen it there.

What part of ( I am speaking of men, coaches, leagues who I know for a fact did not turn DB's to run with the WR until they were exposed to the MPFL system!!!!!! ) you don't understand?

Now this area is for the coaches and others who like this system and what I post is to help them better understand this system. If you're out side of the MPFL system and not apart of the MPFL family then you should stay in you're area of this site and not cross over to another area that you know nothing about.

If you don't like what I write in an area set aside for the MPFL then why are you hear? If you don't like the conversation then go find a conversation you do like and don't butt into a conversation that has nothing to do with you!

Default RUNNING WITH THE RECEIVERS.

coaches,


In my travels to various tourneys, i never saw a coach turn his db's to run with a receiver. ANT and ARTLAX are right. This will not work without the stoppagess. Coaches can choose to turn there db's around to run with the wr in any tourney and any league. They dont do it because without the stoppages, they would get killed. At what point do you stop the board because your receiver will be open all the time. It will be stop and pop all the way down field. With the stops, you can adjust your defense into position
