Lightbulb I gotta an Idea about the Passing game!!

--- I've been brain storming a new way for me to enhance my accuracy passing the ball to my player's!!
I came up with a unique and almost perfect way to make the reciever's accually catch a pass out of mid air! It's not fully functional yet, but, i'm still working out the connection between my parts to make it bullet proof to where It'll work 99.9 percent of the time.
In fact fella's just go to youtube, I made a video on what it looks like.
look up my" EFL- The possibility of passing the football in Mid- Air!! on page 10"
If I knew how to pull up the website from here, I would've put it on here like the rest of you good ole boy's do.
I hope you fella's think it's got some potential to enhancing the game we've been playin all these years.
Holla back and tell me if anybody thinks it's a waste of my time to continue..

Default Easy

After you upload your video, copy and paste the URL into this text box. Pretty easy and you'll get better the more vids and pics you do.

Anyway, mad props to you for doing what many of us have only THOUGHT of and haven't done. Looks like magnetic paint on the figure and the ball, huh?

A few years ago when my bud, AJ, came up with "spot passing" - glue one of Miggle's tiny magnets to either end of a foam ball; run your play; and based on your receiver's route and the defenders' proximity, pass to a spot on the field; turn the receiver and all unengaged receivers; and run to the ball.

The biggest issue was some guys played on wood boards, so the magnet wouldn't stick. And others couldn't throw a touch pass and it would just bounce around, which wasn't realistic. Mike Pratt and I even play-tested hair goop!!! We considered using the 1st "spot" to run to. This was the birth of the NHFL's ATTAC Passing System!

Edgar and myself became very proficient at AJ's Spot Passing with the magnet ball - without bouncing or skipping - so much so, the other guys in our league wouldn't play us that way.

Since then, we experimented with a timed QB dropback (QB chooses 1-5 seconds) and the board stays on until the chosen time expires. Today we use a modified muti-stop system with onfield Officials. The Referee is set at QB's max. dropback; the Field Judge and Side Judge are set on the sidelines at a designated yardage amount that the QB thinks his key WR can get to before he turns the board off. Once the WR hits that yardage, the QB can turn the board off and either attempt his pass or he can angle his WRs once again to attempt a deeper pass route. DBs have to run downfield with the WRs and the only Illegal Contact is blatant contact, where the route of either is drastically interfered with. Side-by-side contact is allowed, kind of like hand-checking.

So, with ALL of that said, I can truly appreciate your efforts in creating something new and fresh.

Did'nt think it would please the hard core player's and coaches, but, I guess I was wrong.
I owe all you guys a lot of credit, when I was not playing for the last 21 years, I was wondering if the game still exsisted since Oklahoma stopped Marketing this game in any stores.
The internet got me to all of you when I though the game was dead and gone. I never thought the game would be so loved like it is right now, the same kinda passion I had when I was playing.
I could'nt go a hole week without setting up a play of EFL teams back then.
I finished my first 4ft x 2ft field in late November, and that was in my demonstration clip.
I owe this site alot of thank you's for making my love for this game jump start back up better than it was 21 years ago for me.
I see being creative can pay off when your hearts in the right place to make things better huh?
You and your friends had a good passion to get a player to catch the ball too.
My stradegy right now is magnetic paint along with a soft magnet football I cut out of a sample from Japan.
I have to do more research on another typo of connection to see which one is best for the deep ball, because right now, the 15 to 20 yard passes are working alright, but it's the long ball i'll have to keep practicing with...
