weights for lifting

[Dogface]

They don't have to be huge, just need a little weight. Lets say that you have a team and you average 160lbs for your players, you are going to do really good against a team that averages 130lbs. That is what I am talking about putting in the work in the offseason to get there if you already have it and it came natural to you then you don't have to spend as much time in the weight room. You don't have to have kids that are 195 plus but would help you to have kids that average the bigger teams. I say footwork because there is a difference between speed and quickness, that is why I love ladder drills and cone work trust me it helps.

Thank you!

Plus,
and I know we have no way of controlling this,
but we are talking about 6man,
If I did have a team of 160# players,
and 4 of them
(heck even 2 of them)
ran a sub 4.5 sec. 40
I wouldn't care how big your guys were.
In fact,
I would prefer playing all your olympic powerlifters.
I would fear your ranch boys who bring in the hay all summer.

Dont confuse track fast with football fast dog; or you might be scratching your head wondering why you are losing

There's no talking to dogface when he gets on his weight training - conditioning rants.

He thinks the answer to every question is to buy a Susan Powter video and Jane Fonda lycra tights.

I guess this is another area where
some folks could make it harder than it needs to be.
Dopey me.
I thought fast was just fast.

Fast does not, and never has, equal quick.

Learn the difference, lycra-boy.

How much is 2 + 2? = buy a Susan Powter video and Jane Fonda lycra tights
How do you spell relief? = buy a Susan Powter video and Jane Fonda lycra tights
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? = buy a Susan Powter video and Jane Fonda lycra tights

Hmmmmm... I see your point Jac.

(Isn't Lycra is just another word for UnderArmour?)
All politics aside;
you gotta admit,
There was a time when Fonda was pretty Hot!!
Ooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually,
that's true.
So we agree.
(Isn't that sweet.)
Fast does not equal quick.
Fast is faster.

Give me a quick team, and I will 45 your fast team 8 times out of 10.

6 times out of 10 by half-time.

I'm sure you are correct.
Just like you were correct about the West
sweeping the champioships.
"You're a better man than me, Gunga Din."

Pick the one time I was wrong.

Typical

I'll take quick over fast but maybe thats just me.
Quick means getting off the ball first. Which equals getting to your opponent first. Which results in breaking up a play, scoreing, tackel for a loss, Inteception, scoring, driving your opponent off the ball, scoring, outstanding double team, scoring. You get the picture.
Fast means out running someone. Which equals covering a lot ground. Which results in scoring or preventing a score usally in a one on one situation.

 

[Dogface]

Once again Coach
well said.

With me
in this case,
I think it may be just semantics.

I hope Moose gets everything he needs/wants.

Landry and his crew were using computers before most people. Yes he came up with the shotgun formation. Coach Landry was the man. We all know that. Bear Bryant thought the dumbest thing he ever did was to take those kids to junction also. To everybodyelse in the football world they were the toughest cats to walk the earth. Most people who know me; know that I'm not going to laugh at anybodys ideas as long as you can make it sound. If you can't afford weights or get them donated then use your imagination. If you don't believe in weight lifting them you better do something to build up their strength and stamina. I know a lot of sixman coaches that are going to lean on you if they can. So basicly its what ever floats your boat.

just to throw my 2 cents in while the late and still great Coach Landry did bring many inovations to the game of football the invention of the shotgun offense was not one of them, it became popular again in 75 when Landry used it with Roger the Dodger, it originally was adapted from the single wing offense used back in the early days of football, it became more of a passing formation in the 1930 at TCU under the original Meyer, Dutch Meyer. In the latter part of the 1940s, the Philadelphia Eagles, under Hall of Fame Coach Earl "Greasy" Neale, implemented the shotgun formation in their offensive attack with quarterback Tommy Thompson
The formation was named by the man who actually devised it, San Francisco 49ers coach Red Hickey, in 1960. John Brodie was the first NFL shotgun quarterback, beating out former starter Y. A. Tittle largely because he was mobile enough to effectively run the formation.
It was also used by the Jets near the end of the broadway Joe Namath era when his knees had gotten really really bad so as to give him more time to run the plays, and then finnaly we had the 75 Cowboys where the formation gained alot of its attention and was rather effective.
Not trying to bust anyones chops but knowledge is power

Whatever happened to the Flex Defense?

Landry was indeed a defensive savant.

 

[coachtree]

the flex defense was great for its time but i think the invention and spread of the zone blocking scheme largley did away with the flex as a viable defense on a regular basis
