The wing backs seal in the inside LBs preventing any quick flow, and the FB pops out the DB. The rate at which the play develops makes it difficult for any defensive shifting. We run a 3-5-4.Thnx 3/25/00 at 8:12 AM by Herb (Herb75@aol.com) We are going to the I from the Wing T and I am looking for some SIMPLE blocking rules for the following plays.

Thank you 3/21/00 at 3:45 PM by Paul (Perrone) I am a frustrated yet very successful kicking coach who has produced an All-State player and has a JUCO All-American prospect for next year. I would like to perform this duty at the Division I and ultimately the pro level, but am aware of the paid coaches count and other such restrictions of the NCAA. I know of Doug Blevins (Dolphins) and know Steve Hoffman (Cowboys). I also know that neither of these kicking coaches ever had to coach special teams, and each coached at a Division I school (Tennessee, Miami). What do I do? Try to skip to the pros? Go to Canada? Please help. 3/21/00 at 3:39 PM by Paul () 3/20/00 at 6:41 PM by Ernie Krumm (ekrumm@ed-mail.com) I am looking for a Tight End screen, or other ways to get the TE more involved in our offense.
