  • 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.

  • 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.

It’s good to get back out there. It’s weird, it’s kind of like Déjà vu to be back out there on the practice field running around. I couldn’t be more excited and driven to have a great year and it’s really nice.” On how different the organization feels now “I think year to year on any team it changes, no matter what. The guys always change, coaches change, so I think if you look around the league you are going to have 32 teams out there that have the same buzz, same excitement and everybody thinks they’re going to win the Super Bowl. As far as the tone being set, it has been set. We just have to come out and make it happen.” On the development as a defensive lineman “I can only speak for the D‐line, but every position takes its time. Every guy has their point of when they either blossom or they don’t. For me, early on in my career, I had to back up a guy named Sam Adams. So, it was one of those things where I wasn’t going to play a whole lot. Once I finally got an opportunity to start, I tried not to look back.

It’s great to be back.” On the chaos surrounding camp and free agency “There will be some different things with a new staff and a lot of new things going in. It’ll be different, but it will be fun having it come together much faster than having OTA’s in the spring to work with. In this situation, we’re kind of starting on time. It just seems long with the process of not having the spring and OTA’s and some of the other things that we’re used to having, but football is actually starting on time. On anxiety caused by indecision—“For me personally, no. It’s football. It’s something that I’ve been preparing for all year. It’s a game I love to play. Every year, no matter who you are, all you can do is what you are able to do physically and mentally on the field, and everything else will take care of itself. For most guys, I think that’s the approach they should take, and it will be fun. It will take care of itself.” On whether he will play defensive end or outside linebacker “I’ve been told that I‘ll be doing both, and that in some packages I’ll be doing linebacker, but mainly defensive end.
