  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Middle School Football Expectations and Restrictions
    MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL EXPECTATIONS Every “A” team should have between 22-25 players suited out, unless the numbers in the program are less than 50-55. No player should be slated to start both ways on any team, unless again the program has a number problem. There might be critical times that you call a player to play both ways, but it should not be a majority of the game. NO player should be asked to play “iron man football” at this level. Remember that your primary goal is to have as many players as possible reach the next level with as much skill development as possible. Playing in the game is a big part of any player’s development and enjoyment. Winning should be important, it should be the goal of the practices and the games. Performing under pressure, rebounding from failure, and working as part of a team/family for a goal are great lessons to be learned when winning is the goal. Winning at all cost is not an acceptable practice. Winning while doing the right things for the players and the overall program should bring you a more satisfaction than playing your top 5 players both ways for the entire game just to win the game. The players will judge you. What will the players say about their experience twenty years from now? The true value of youth sports is the opportunity to teach the kinds of Character lessons that are learned from striving on the field - lessons that bear ultimate fruit years later in a person’s profession, values, citizenship responsibilities, and family life.

  • MAKING COMPLEX SIMPLE: Adapting RPO's for All Levels
    X&O Labs Article #3 – March 9, 2018 MAKING COMPLEX SIMPLE: Adapting RPO’s for All Levels Case Three – Sweep by Paul Hefty 9th Grade Assistant Coach State College High School, PA Instructor in Kinesiology @ Penn State University INTRODUCTION: My high school (Milledgeville, Illinois) was very small, but very successful (HFC’s – Les Snow, Gary Hartje and AHC – Rick Malson), using a classic wing-T system (35 wins and 3 losses during those four years). Classic buck sweep is an outstanding concept to apply to a one back spread RPO system. The challenge is to adapt buck sweep using an Hback along with 2nd level RPO concepts in a simple and sound manner. First, buck sweep uses a simple “covered-uncovered” blocking rule. By using a proven test-of-time wing-T core scheme we can attack the defense on the edge and off tackle at the same time. I was fortunate to play and learn under my high school coaches that used legendary HFC Forest Evashevski’s U of Iowa wing-T offense (1958 Big Ten Conference Champions and 1959 Rose Bowl winners over the U of Cal). Again, you can use this same sweep scheme for multiple plays. “Evolved Simplicity” = 1 blocking scheme (Sweep) – Run or Pass Second, sweep is flexible in that it can adjust and fit to the strength’s (talents) of personnel from year to year, week to week and game to game. You can run this strong or weak, from 2x2 or 3x1 alignments and with the back or QB as the ball-carrier.

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.

  • Tuszka, Derrek
    North Dakota State defensive end Derrek Tuszka selected by Denver Broncos in seventh round with team’s final pick of NFL draft By Kyle Newman The Denver Post April 25, 2020 With the penultimate pick of the 2020 NFL draft, the Broncos selected Derrek Tuszka in the seventh round at No. 254 overall. The last of the Broncos’ 10 picks this year gave them added depth at defensive end, where Tuszka is projected as a reserve. Tuszka was a three-year starter at North Dakota State, and the Warner, S.D., native capped his college career by being named first-team All-American and the Missouri Valley Football Conference defensive player of the year in 2019. He played 15 games each of the past three seasons. “I think the (East-West Shrine Bowl) had a huge role in me being drafted,” Tuszka said. “It showed that I could compete at a higher level, and it showed how valuable I can be on special teams. Between that, and a perfect season and then having a great combine, it all helped to get to this point.” At 6-foot-5, 246 pounds, Tuszka had 73 tackles and 29.5 sacks in his college career. He’s the second defensive lineman drafted by the Broncos this year, after Arkansas’ McTelvin Agim was taken in the third round at No. 95 overall. Tuszka trained with Broncos strength and conditioning coach Loren Landow for the NFL combine, and said he “fell in love with Denver” during that time. He was going to be getting multiple free agent offers before the Broncos, with whom he was having conversations, drafted him at the last minute.

  • Former Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak Brings 37 Years of NFL Experience As Broncos Candidate by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan
    Former Titans head coach Mike Munchak brings 37 years of NFL experience as Broncos candidate By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan. 5, 2019 Consecutive wins to end the 2013 season allowed the Tennessee Titans to finish 7-9 under third-year coach Mike Munchak. Many believed he would be fired. Ultimately Munchak was dismissed but not until he turned down a contract extension and raise in salary when he refused to fire multiple assistant coaches. Fast forward to Friday, when Munchak, 58, was at the Broncos’ facility interviewing with general manager John Elway, president/CEO Joe Ellis and others for the opening created by Vance Joseph’s firing on Monday. Munchak’s loyalty is to be applauded, but the formation of his potential coaching staff should be a major topic of discussion. Munchak is the third known candidate to meet with the Broncos, who interviewed Chuck Pagano (Wednesday) and Zac Taylor (Thursday). On the docket are Brian Flores (Saturday) and Vic Fangio (Monday). Since leaving the Titans, Munchak has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach. Last January, he removed himself from consideration for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching position. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers requested an interview. Munchak checks two of the boxes Elway is assumed to want: Previous head-coaching experience and a background on offense. He played 12 years at guard for the Houston Oilers, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, twice selected All Pro and, in 2001 was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. To his credit, Munchak didn’t use his playing status to take short cuts in coaching.
