  • Conversations About Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 4 (1983) CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DEFENSE by Stan Grosshandler It is difficult to realize that until relatively recent times the defense received small recognition. In truth, they probably did not deserve any for they were stereotyped, showing little imagination. As the two platoon system began to establish itself and coaches showed more innovation defensively, we began to hear of the "Umbrella Defense," the "Eagle Defense," and in the next decade such names of aggrandizement as "The Doomsday Defense," "The Purple People Eaters," and "The Violent World of Sam Huff." Stars of the 1930's and 1940's will tell you there was little stress put on defense. It was something you had to do until you got the ball back. Joe Kopcha, all-pro Bear guard in the '30s, described how he and his teammates would often lean on the men opposite them when the play went the other way. The object of the game was to go the entire 60 minutes and you wanted to conserve your strength for the offense. The word "pursuit" was rarely used. The great Packer guard, Buckets Goldenberg, brought out three interesting points: "Lambeau paid little attention to the defense," he said. "He felt we could always outscore the other team. I always felt that if we played the Little Sisters of the Poor they would probably have scored a couple of times." He also pointed out that when Larry Craig, the blocking back from South Carolina, joined the Packers, he was placed at defensive end and Hutson was moved to defensive halfback where he became quite good.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

  • Awareness of Game Situations
    Referee has collected some of the best Football Officiating tips & techniques they could find and have created a Football Officiating A-Z email series to share with officials. Officials who are interested can visit https://www.referee.com/free-guides/ for more officiating resources. Tips will be added weekly once new ones are released. AWARENESS OF GAME SITUATIONS Most football fans understand how the down, distance, score and time remaining affect how teams strategize. The same information that helps the guy in the 53rd row can help officials if they use a little common sense. For example, it’s third down and 11. Team A trails by two points with 1:37 to play in the fourth quarter and has the ball on its own 44 yardline. Going without a huddle because it is out of timeouts, team A lines up in a shotgun formation with an empty backfield and three eligible receivers on the right side of the formation. Gee, do you think a pass is coming? Do you think the receivers will run at least 11-yard routes? Is it likely the quarterback’s first look will be to a receiver running a pattern near the sideline? That is a fairly elementary example, but it illustrates how officials can process information and turn it into proper coverage of a play. The latter stages of a game are also prime times for flea-flickers or other trick plays, onside kicks, clock- killing spikes (and fake spikes) and other tactics that are less than routine. Your ability to anticipate them will help determine if you are in proper position to make a big call (or no-call) at the end of a game.
