Football 101- Running Backs

Running backs have become important receivers in todays high powered offenses. Once they have made the catch, running backs can often turn on their speed and make a long gain out of a short pass.   Running backs often serve as check off receivers when other receivers are covered.   RBs typically make a block, release from the block and run a short pattern into the flats, the sidelines or circle across the middle.

Football 101 - Flankers & Tight Ends

Flankers   Flankers are an interesting receiver in that lining up off the line, they can go in motion. This allows the offense to change its look on the fly and hopefully confuse assignments in the defensive secondary.   Of course- lining up behind the line makes it difficult to go deep but their speed can put them in interesting and useful places. Their routes are usually in the short to middle ranges.   Flankers are often called possession receivers because they are key go to guys on 3r

Football 101- the Passing Game

Before we get into the various pass patterns, lets have a look at the way defenses see the field.   There are two basic pass defenses- man to man and the zone.   Man to Man is difficult to pull off. If you have a personnel mismatch, which the offense will exploit, you'll get burned all day long.   In order to cover as much of the field as possible and give support to defensive backs who are covering speed burners, the Zone defense was developed.   There are many versions of the zone and

Primary Flashback

Father Pfleger: We must be honest enough to address the one who says, 'don't hold me responsible for what my ancestors did.' But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did! And unless you are ready to give up the benefits

Defensive Formations and Positions

In general there are three different types of defensive players: linemen, linebackers and backs.   Defensive Linemen are big, strong and quick capable of stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback. Typical D-linemen are called Tackles, Nose Guard or Ends.   Linebacker is the single most athletically versatile position in football. Linebackers must read the offense and respond instantly to what it is doing. On any given play and defensive scheme, a linebackers may be asked to stop the ru

Offense- Power-I and Wishbone

Power-I   All modern pro, college and even high school teams have special sets for special situations. One of the most common of those special situations is short yardage. Sometimes the short yards are hardest to get in goal line and 3rd and short situations. The defense, specifically in goal line situations have less depth to defend. They can ignore medium and long passes and usually add defensive linemen and/or linebackers to beef up their run defense.   This specific short yardage package

Football 101- More Offense

The I Formation (pronounced "eye" formation) have the backs stacked in the backfield. Typically it is used as a running formation but you can pass out of it too. Many teams that use the I Formation often call the "deep back" a tailback rather than a halfback. This offense needs a strong runner in that position as it is featured in this formation. You will see it used extensively at the college level. The pros use it- sometimes on short yardage situations like 3 and 3 to give the defense a pass o

Dumas, TX

I got out of the Metroplex without being burnt to a crisp. God, it was hotter than hooey down there. Well, not at hot as, say Phoenix or Barstow, but hot. It was an oppressive heat that pushed down on you. In the desert it is hot, but it's more scorching or searing. The heat moves around and through you as it goes onto the next person. The heat during the past few day was personal. It was your heat. Your's alone.   One good thing about the heat was I was able to finish Chapter 14, which means

Football 101- Basic Offense & Positions

The Pro Set is one of the most basic formations you will see. Almost all the pro teas run it at one time or another. It is a balanced offense from which a team can either pass of run.   Positions-   Offensive Line: the offensive lines job is to open holes for runners of protect the quarterback on passing plays. Although O-lines don't get much press, they have got to perform their job or the offense is going nowhere.   C or Center snaps the ball to the QB and then blocks or protects the pas

Do you ever?

Does anyone else ever wish certain things in their life could be different? I certainly am at a point where I have that wish. For one thing, I wish I was somewhere else completely. I'd also like to have someone in my life. I'm lonely a great deal of the time, and it would be nice to find somebody to love. It would make my life a whole lot more meaningful, and I would certainly be happier.

CRV Forum to shut down

On July 31st, the forums over at CRVboy will close due to a lack of interest.... (yawn). Okay, just kidding. Not about the forums closing, but about the yawn. To be honest, I'm not very surprised. The Simple Machines forum is very boring, and there was no encouragement from the site administration to post over there. I guess it's kinda sad because it didn't have to be that way, but like they say, water under the bridge.......   I think the next thing to go will be the entire site. There are a

Burning old house and a miserable night

I'm not a firebug or anything, but yesterday I saw a house that was on fire. Apparently, it was set ablaze on purpose. The mayor of the town actually wanted the house to be gone. It was amazing. There's something about the power of fire that stirs the imagination for some reason. I could watch fires like that all the time, though it would never turn me on sexually or get to a point where I would become an arsonist. You could see the fire from anywhere in town, and I got several views of it from

Why America Needs Michael Savage

That's right, I said it. We need Michael Savage on the air. We also need Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity and Neal Boortz.   So right now there's this ridiculous push to get Michael Savage taken off the air. Why? Because he has an opinion that some people disagree with. He said that 99% of autistic kids were misdiagnosed and that they're brats who need their parents to tell them to cut the act.   I don't know what makes someone autistic. I don't know if it's a chemical imbalance, or a disease t

Ghost Stories

I'm throwing around a couple of different story ideas for this anthology. A couple are more cerebreal interpretations of the word ghost, but the one that has the most traction in my mind features an actual ghost, so I may do that instead. There's just one little stumbling block...which I think just came together in my mind. Well then. Ghost story it is.   To err is human, to forgive divine, but not a particularly interesting story. So Khayyam Barat tells us one about bloody satisfaction instea

Early start yields poetry

My insomnia seems to be worsening. I went to bed after midnight and woke up at 6. I tried to go back to bed, but sleep would not come. This is starting to really annoy me. I can't take this much longer. I need to be able rest, but it never seems to happen. I have periods of time where this happens, but I wish it wouldn't. Well, I have written and posted two poems. I have been writing poetry every single day. The first one is called "Chains of Pain" and the second is called "Locked". I figured I

Hello, Jamie (Said Dr. Lecter-style)

Wow. Just wow. Went to the psychowhatsit.   I have never met anyone quite like that woman. I'm telling you, it was like I was in Silence of the Lambs from the way she kept asking the exact right questions to get to the exact root of my problems. The woman is the single most competent and intelligent mental health professional I've ever met. In fact, she's the ONLY competent one I've met.   Bitch is freakin' amazing. I've never met anyone like her! I know I'm gushing, but omg if she
