New Book

I recently was given a football book as a birthday present. The book was/is called Blocking the edges .... for the wing-t and beyond by Wes Elrod. I think it is a pretty good book and has a lot of formations and different plays that pertain to running the wing-t from the double wing.

When I first looked at the book I was intrigued but I was a little confused. I really liked all of the formations in the book and it gave me some good ideas. What I was mostly confused, well thought would hard to understand for players was the play calling.

I understand what he is trying to do but he also call the play by telling the back to the ball and which blocker is blocking the edge or the man.

Don't get me wrong it is a great book and I would recommend it to other coaches in a heart beat, however I believe that things can be simplified and that is what I try to do with my 600 series. I have tried to simplify the formations and the blocking, and the calls to make the jet and rocket series fairly simple to install into an offense.

I will be starting to explain my 600 series over the next several weeks. It has taken me a while because I had the addition to the family, and was trying to get our football team up and running and to be ready for our first game.

Good News we beat/outscored a team that was a class larger than us 38-8 for our first win of the season. They kids played really good with some minor mistakes.

Well keep your eyes pealed for the 600 series, which I will be starting next week.
