The misalignment of quarterbacks and wide receivers for slowing down the rhythm of passing at the back and disrupting the opponent's defensive team is quite effective, and a defensive team that has never seen this tactic would never have imagined that they could still play like this.

After Bill Ferrari proposed this idea, Coach Paul felt that the change of position was very practical, so he held a preliminary tactical meeting to discuss the matter, and evolved several different versions according to the specific tactical line.

Version 1 naturally swaps positions between the quarterback and the strong-side wide receiver, with the wide receiver receiving the ball and passing to the quarterback within 10 to 20 yards to the right, followed by a normal pass offense, except that the quarterback is not in the pocket, and the enemy defense team does not have to worry about the offensive quarterback's route being illegal.

The advantage of this is that it adds a tactical move to stall time, and allows his quarterback Carter to reduce the psychological pressure and pass the ball more accurately.

The downside, however, is that quarterbacks can be deliberately injured by the enemy at the risk of violating the rules, as previously the enemy defense team could only squeeze through pocket five to tackle quarterbacks, so there is no need for such a hassle after switching positions.

And the cross greatly increases the uncertainty on the pitch.

So version 2 came smoothly, with a light running back standing in the quarterback's position, receiving the serve, running sideways to Carter, who switched positions, and the quarterback carried out the pass. Or the running back can push directly with the ball, either directly through the front line or around from either side.

"The second tactic eliminates the risk of crosses, but it always feels like something more."

In the large conference room, Coach Paul pointed to the offensive lines drawn on the whiteboard in various positions.

At this time, nearly 100 players and coaching staff gathered around a long table, and in front of them was a whiteboard full of tactical routes, in which the running routes and receiving routes of the close end TE, wide receiver WR, full guard FB, running back RB, and quarterback QB constituted the line of the tactical map, and the pocket five such as the center and some members of the defensive group contributed points on the tactical map.

"I know what you mean, it's just taking off your pants and farting, and the running back doesn't have to run to the quarterback with the ball." Beal said exactly what the manager was trying to say.

Only one forward pass is allowed in each attack, and the player who initiates the forward pass must be behind the attack.

In other words, even if the running back gets the ball from the quarterback and then runs through the offensive line and into the enemy's [territory], he can't create more advancing yards with the forward pass.

There is no limit to the number of crosses and passes, and there is no territory limit. However, with the exception of the aforementioned stretch and far back, the rest of the formation rarely uses left, right or backward passes, not to mention wasting time and risky.

"Actually, the first tactic is good, we can practice a few times in the next few days to see the effect of the attack."

Offensive coordinator Hawke proposed.

The pocket five were able to stay in formation after the kick-off, and the opposition did not have much ability to threaten the receiving pass in the attacking group when a cross occurred. While it may be targeted by opponents, the initial stages of Season '83 should work wonders.

"Don't worry, we have a third tactic, the first one is too memorable, it doesn't work after a few fights, and then we use the rest of the evolution formation to deal with it. Bill's idea would solve Carter's problem, and it would be a good idea to use it a few more times. ”

The third tactic described by head coach Paul is more insidious and cunning, after the opponents think that the wide receiver or running back behind the center has chosen the version 1 or version 2 style of play, the wide receiver directly turns into a quarterback and passes the ball forward to the close end or other wide receiver who has already reached the target area.

The three versions are progressive, and by the time Parker Ten's opponents study the effective defensive formation, it is estimated that eight or nine of the twelve games of the '83 season have been played. And in a game, you have to use seven or eight kinds of formations, and the transposition formations are mixed with the normal formations, and they can be used at least until the end of the eighty-three season.

"Beal's idea was a genius to address my shortcomings, and as captain I thank him on behalf of the team for his contribution to improving the formation."

At the end of the tactical meeting, Carter summed up.

Mr. Ferrari accepted it.

As the players and coaching staff left the pitch one after another, Coach Paul singled out the departing No. 88.

"Actually, based on my years of coaching experience, this formation is sure to make people who haven't seen it say oh buy ga, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the commentators and Parker 10 coaches react to this tactic."

The Red and White team's defensive team members were all involved in the tactical meeting, and the drills in the next few days were not as effective as expected, but the remaining nine teams in the Parker 10 did not know about the change of lineup, and the same was true for the other three teams outside the minor leagues.

'Winning is the key, and the formation just serves that.'

Beal is thinking that the Red and White team's record in the '83 season will not pull the hips, so that he can compete for the three major awards of the court data.

The head coach patted the eighty-eight on the shoulder, "For you now, when you are halfway through this season, probably after our derby with the Golden Bears, I will write an article and publish it in the newspapers and magazines that the coaches have communicated, specifying your role in the rotation and the results achieved since the application of the rotation formation." Believe me, when the Maxwell Award was selected, you could use this direct half of the vote ahead of your opponent. ”

In fact, the Maxwell Award is a little more valuable than the other two awards, because many high-level coaches and former professional rugby players participated. The Hezmann Prize, on the other hand, is dominated by hundreds of sports journalists, and the external interference is much greater.

"That's great."

Paul's statement made Beal very excited, in the six NCAAF "escort" leagues, most of the coaches of the Parker Ten will vote for themselves, and many coaches in the Big Ten leagues that share the Rose Bowl with the Parker Ten will vote for players in the close league. Coupled with the fact that the coaches have paid attention to the innovation of the formation, Paul's behavior can attract a lot of college coach votes.

……

The next morning, the rugby stadium equipment fitness area.

Four hundred and fifty pound barbells on the left and right pressed on Bill's shoulders, and strength and conditioning coach Frank hugged Bill behind him, bracing his chest and arms as the number eighty-eight slowly descended.

This is the initial training to strengthen the ability to jump, and the squat with heavy weights stimulates muscle strength and muscle growth, helps to form strong bones, ligaments, etc., and is also effective in preventing physical injuries.

"Five, four, three, two, one, get up!"

After the teammate who was supporting on the side counted five, he shouted and asked Eighty-Eight to squat quickly.

After three rounds of repetition, the training to really tap the bouncing power begins.

Bill, whose heart was about to pop out, didn't even have time to wipe his sweat before he was pushed by Frank to do five full-strength jumps, during which several teammates kept shouting to cheer and get up.

"Come on, Bill!" Frank clapped his hands and motioned for Eighty-Eight to perform the kettlebell jump, also five times.

Bill, who squinted his eyes vigorously, let out a sigh, took the kettlebell handed over by the physical trainer, and carried his hands under his crotch to carry out this set of training movements.

Each vertical jump was against gravity, and the effect was very small, but the spring training and pre-race training combined to slowly improve Mr. Ferrari's jumping ability.

"Come on! Hold on! Frank pumped his fists on his players until Bill started his final event, the elastic bands to assist with the vertical jump.

Pulling through the two red elastic bands tied to the top of the shelf, Bill crouched to the bottom first, then jumped up, and the elastic bands also took advantage of the situation to shorten, bringing upward pull to the eighty-eight.

After five times, the whole bouncing strengthening training is finally over.

"Fantastic job!" Frank handed the white towel to Bill, "I can clearly feel that you're making rapid progress every time. ”

Mr. Ferrari took it, wiped his sweat and summed up his training, "It's still not enough, I'm too heavy, I'm far from a real wide receiver, and the routine training just keeps me in shape." ”

With three major awards to compete for this season, Bill has gained weight rapidly since spring training, and his weight and body fat percentage are acceptable so far. However, compared to the wide receiver, the speed and bounce are far from enough, and in order to reduce the damage caused in the collision, it is impossible to lose weight, and there is no way to lose speed. The only thing that can be improved is bouncing, so Bill took time out of the above training projects in addition to actual combat drills.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly pass.
