Satisfied with Sequoyah Football this year?

[red_nation]

The problem with the LL is the restrictions. I was involved in the Loudon Quarterback club years ago, and the weight restrictions are ridiculous. I could maybe see a RB weight limit but tackle to tackle should be unlimited. The kids that play first in High School are usually the biggest, but in this conference only 1 "green stripe" can be on the field at a time. So if there is more than one green stripe on the team, then only one at a time can gain game experience. Well they get to high school and and everyone is fair game.

The next thing would be putting in the high school scheme. If more LL programs would input the HS system, there would be less need for Middle School teams, in this area anyway. I know Polk Co. has, and I beleive Loudon started this year w/ putting in the HS offenses and defenses. I wonder League wide how many teams use the systems that they are feeder programs for. I know Maryville & Alcoa start when they are crickets. Look how it turned out for them.

 

 

The problem with that here is,the coaching staff changes every other year.You can't exspect L.L. coachs to learn new offenses every year or 2.Until our school system decides to pay the money for coach's, i exspect it will stay the same for years to come.I think coach S.is a good coach ,but he needs more coach's,and its hard to get them here when they pay what they do.And when you do get a good one they run them off,or they get a better paying job.

 

I THINK MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL IS A GREAT IDEA,if they will put the money up and get a good coach.And i think the head coach should decide who that is,not people who has a buddie who wants the job.

There are no green stripers at the JR level anymore. There is only a weight limit to carry the ball.

Red Nation is correct about the coaching philosophies changing so much that the LL programs can't be consistant. I can't speak for the Madisonville program but I can assume that they are like us at Vonore and try to acclimate themselves to the HS system as much as they can. I spent 2 or 3 practices with the O-line coaches in the '07 season and tried to mimic the same drills, techniques, and vocabulary that they did to try and prepare the kids so that it would not be greek when the HS coaches got them. Unfortunately, those coaches weren't around the next year and they have to re-learn new vocabulary, techniques, and drills.

WingT all you have proven is what you don't know. You made a mockery of yourself. Nice try. Naturally not man enough to come out from behind the computer or take responsibility. You never have talked any nuts and bolts football it is always just vague statements that anyone could pick up on sports talk! I have asked you time and time again to be more specific and never not once have you responded, we all know why

 

 

 

I am giving you the opportunity to prove me wrong, embarrass me. And all you can say is I am trying to bail myself out. We all know there is only one reason you won't do it, and that is because you can't. Come on man up prove me wrong the opportunity of a lifetime here on a silver platter.

The LL programs need to worry about themselves, they don't need to worry about copying the high school's system. Personel might require the high school team to change every few years. They need to do what it takes to be successful on the LL level. They need to concentrate on technique and fundamentals.

There is a history there that goes back for awhile. You had a small group of parents that it had to be all about little Johnny or it was somebody's fault. The rest of the parents got sick of it. Hearing them gripe and moan all the time. Luckily for the programs at Sequoyah 99% of those parents are now gone. A whole lot of kids paid the price for there back room politics. Then they get on here hide behind a computer and try to act like they are for the kids. You know how the story goes. They never showed up to help do anything just gripe and complain. Sorry man for the inconvenience it is childish but for selfish reasons I must say this thread has been a blast. I guess we will just have to WING iT.

 

 

 

Actually the many got tired of the few that were trying to run the show and put an end to it. The few held this program back at least 5 years.

I 'll give you this Forrest. You are so far off if you knew how far off you are???? you would surely shut up. Here is an example there Forrest. The base formation for the wing T and Double wing are not even the same! Its like saying they killing us with the off tackle play, when all along its the veer! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> You the expert all right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

Something other than the obvious we all know the base formations are different as I have already mentioned. And all I said was they were killing us off tackle, there was no need for specifics on that. I was talking defense and where we were getting killed.

[slobber knocker]

So now we know that one WB is lined up in the backfield even with the FB and behind the tackle (roughly) in the wing T. Now what.

so how is that similar to the double wing there genius, you had time to look it up good for you, /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> yeah that makes you CORRECT /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> in how similar they are!!!!!!!!

[slobber knocker]

I said there was not a huge difference. You said they were. Now look at all the similar plays that can be run out of each.

 

I am here show me this huge difference you talked about.

[slobber knocker]

A little easier to pass out of the double wing, maybe. The FB could be a little more effective out of the double wing due to him being really close to the QB kind of hides him a little, these are not huge differences.

 

Are you going to help
