This is so funny that it is rediculas. If you are referring to Cross Fitt. Then say it. Both Coach Davis and myself use this program in our offseason. Isometrics are bad for the joints. Proven by the University of Arkansaw teams of the 60's. We do 4 stations with 7 minutes a piece. 28 minutes. Kids get mad at us because they don't get all their reps in. They get to the weight room quicker so they can start earlier. Cross Fitt is a great program. I use it but not only as a supplemental. Barry Switser once said, "do what is important to you." He did not believe in stretching for 20 minutes. A sandbag wont bounce. A medicine ball will. Anybody who knows about Nike Spark workouts knows what I am talking about. Avant; You quit being a bully (lol). Yes size matters.

Size matters???
Rats!

As I was thinking about all this guff
just from my alternative ideas,
I was reminded of Tom Landry.
Legendary coach.
(Most of you don't know him.)
He made several significant
and revolutionary changes to the
status quo,
which basically changed the way the game is played today.
It's easy to look back and say,
those were good ideas!
But at the time,
he took a lot of guff too.

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.

 

[Dogface]

Well said Coach!
Well said.

Actually,
that's kinda what I was trying to say.
Obviously,
not as well.

Bear Bryant thought the dumbest thing he ever did was take thoughs kids to junction also.

And the second dumbest has to be the way he handled Kenneth Hall.
I guess he kind of mellowed when he got older.
I know what you mean by this, but I think he took it to the extreme. What about the tough kids who wanted to play but just weren't quite tough enough?

 

[High Plains Drifter]

No dog in this one. However, there is more than one way to skin a cat, but back in the day, if you didn't lift, I wanted to play you a bunch. Ha

 

[braveapache33]

who said that this was the slow and boring time of year. very entertaining here.

 

[CowboyP]

It has picked up in the last couple of weeks. Everyone is getting ready to cheer & jeer the realignment.

 

[Dogface]

but back in the day... Ha

Hmmmm...
So... were these weights like,
carved from stone,
like on the Flintstones?

 

[High Plains Drifter]

yes, sir

 

[Dogface]

I can imagine
all those Atown boys lookin like Alley Oop.
That guy was huge!

 

[High Plains Drifter]

But could he run?

 

[Coach Buse]

Here is the problem some kids do need size. If you have a small team the problem comes in when you have to play teams that are bigger than you and you can't gang tackle every time. On that not you need to take your offseason to the weight room get some meat on the bones and teach them how to eat properly to get the right weight and not fat. That is what the offseason is for to take that time to build on things you lack in. Then you can thow crossfit in the mix. But if you have a team that is big already just some good old country boys raised on the farm and eating a cow and a bushel of potatoes a weak then crossfit will work good for you. In that you are cutting fat and building the muscle but you also have to throw in the speed drills on both ways that you go. In 6-man footwork is the key to speed and quickness that seperates teams.

 

[Dogface]

Actually,
that's quite a large list.

We started off with just a guy
begging for some weights
for the infant stages of a program.

You suggest,
that you need some big guys,
and they must eat right,
and they must have good footwork,
and be fast and quick.

Pretty sure he'll need more than just a few weights for that.
jus sayin'

 

[Dogface]

But could he run?

So which one is it?
Big guys or fast guys?
or
Both?

 

[Coach Buse]

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.

 

[CowboyP]

I've seen that proven. My son is not fast by any definition, but Coach Hinkson has trained him to be quick from his stance and to read the play.
