while strength and size are important 6man is mostly about speed, quickness, and execution.
So 6 man football is the only game where speed, quickness, and execution are important?
Absolutely not. It's important in 11 man, baseball, basketball, the rest of the world's "futboll", and I bet the Guru would agree, tennis. My point was the sterotypical "steroid enhanced" football player - a 6' plus 300# lineman is not as highly coveted in 6m as 11 beause he's not usually that fast and often not as quick which also can affect his execution. I.E the "bemoths of the line" in 11m can actually be a hindrance in 6m. Put 6 good fast, quick well coached "normal sized" kids in 6m in a spread up against 6 of the "bemoth's" and they will run through and around them (or the qb will run circles around the rushers before finding a wideopen receiver that ran past them). I guess my real point is I take exception to the implication that Strawn or virtually any 6m school is a place where steroid use would be encouraged or even tolerated.
I think I read on a previous post your a former 6 & 11m Coach which I'm not. What's your take?
