Thursday Practice Schedule
This is an abbreviated summary of our Thursday football practice. We gave the kids Wednesday off and then had our first padded football practice on Thursday. As usual we had the expected equipment issues, making sure everyone had everything on correctly, snaps snapped, hooks holed, belts tightened etc. You cant assume youth football players know how to put their equipment on correctly.
Fortunately it was about 90 degrees, off of the recent highs of the high 90s. We now have our dynamic warm up and angle form fit tackling down to 10 minutes. We added a team form fit tackle as part of the dynamic warmup. Our warmups are always done without helmets on including the angle form fit tackle. During the dynamic warm up we always have just 2 lines facing each other. We started the team form fit tackle starting with our players toe to toe, face to face. We want our tacklers to make contact when their toes are at the ballcarriers toes, to make sure we are not overextended and keeping the head up. Each coach of course has their 5 kids and we are requiring perfection on the fit, contact point, head placement, knee bend etc. the player is not allowed to come off the fit until the coach taps him on the head. We then back everyone off at 5 yards and do the same at a walk, then a jog. With so many first year players this extra form work was needed.
We then got our helmets on and worked competitive fumble recovery drills for everyone. We introduced our partner system during the first break and assigned partners per the book and went through the first day question/quiz. As a team we then did the 3 competitive group, close quarters tackling drills. The age 7-9 kids did splatter/mat tackling drills during this time period. Then we got into 3 slot challenge tackling for the kids that progressed successfully out of the close quarters as the younger kids progressed to the close quarters.
We split backs and line and worked the line on first and second step freezes, then we went to that freeze on the bags, then added a progression where they drive blocked the dummy. We also reviewed our base blocking rule (helmets off) and set up dads across from the offensive line and quizzed them on the rule and their progression. They did very well with that one. We worked on the wedge progression the last 20 minutes and the kids did real well with it, got all the way through it, which doesn’t happen very often.
The backs worked ball security and the pass catching progression as well as splatter mat blocking drills. During break we again reviewed the base defense and positions. The backs put in 4 of the “Sainted Six” plays in at age 10-11 and 12-13. The age 7-9 kids got one play in. We did this in skeleton format with dads holding blocking shields at the point of attack to make sure head placement was correct for the backs blocking. All plays right now are being run out 10 yards, the next practice they will be run out 15 yards.
We ended with Deer Hunter games for fun and conditioning.
All of these drills are detailed with pictures and diagrams in the book and DVDs.
We will keep you posted on our progress.

I got the best deal on a STX Composite 70 25 Field Hockey Stick. I am so cool now that I have my own STX Composite 70 25 Field Hockey Stick, that I recommend you get one for yourself.
Head on over to check out a STX Composite 70 25 Field Hockey Stick to get your STX Composite 70 25 Field Hockey Stick today!
Powerful 70 percent fiberglass, 25 percent carbon, and 5 percent aramid combination and a newe unique tear drop shaped handle increases dribbling control and speed. Also features an innovative cavity back head which helps to reduce raised ball calls without compromising intense drive. No material was removed from the stick to create the STX cavity back. As composite sticks are hollow, the cavity is actually a dent where the material is pushed in. The dent creates a kiss point or strength point inside the stick where the inside of the walls touch. STX has placed this cavity at the most flexible part of the stick. If a composite sticks breaks, this is the most common breakage point. Therefore, creating the strength point where the cavity at this position will create a stronger stick. This stick is part of the STX composite line of high performance field hockey sticks that are crafted for stiffness and strength to capitalize on driving power, durability and superior ball control. The cavity head shifts the weight to allow the transfer over the top of the ball when hit, keeping the ball low and straight on drives.

42-day detention bill, David Davis finds himself back in possession of his spot in the Commons. No surprises there then. Labour and the Lib Dems didn’t even put a candidate up against him and his victory was a foregone conclusion.
Mr Davis said his victory had been a shot across the bows of Gordon Brown's arrogant, arbitrary and authoritarian government. Seeing as the government didn’t compete in the by-election it’s hard to take Davis’ claim seriously. It’s all well and good to make a stand about something you feel strongly about, but Davis’ decision to resign and then regain his seat with considerable ease seems rather petulant. Not only that, but the by-election has been branded a farce and a waste of taxpayers' money.
Could Davis have made his point in a less dramatic fashion or was it the only way to raise real awareness about an issue he feels extremely strongly about.

This is obviously WAAAYYYY in advance of reality, but here is a preliminary prediction of how the roster and practice squads work themselves out:
OFFENSE
QB: Matt Hasselbeck, Seneca Wallace, Charlie Frye
RB: Julius Jones, Maurice Morris, T.J. Duckett, Leonard Weaver, Owen Schmitt (My guess is that if Duckett was not given such a sizeable signing bonus, they may not keep him given that they haven't figured out how to use him. But since he is making significant cash, they don't have much choice.)
TE: John Carlson, Will Heller, Jeb Putzier
OL: Walter Jones, Mike Wahle, Chris Spencer, Chris Gray, Rob Sims, Sean Locklear, Floyd Womack, Mansfield Wrotto, Ray Willis
WR: Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson, Courtney Taylor, Ben Obomanu, Logan Payne
Physically Unable to Perform: Deion Branch
DEFENSE
DL: Patrick Kerney, Lawrence Jackson, Darryl Tapp, Baraka Atkins, Rocky Bernard, Brandon Mebane, Craig Terrill, Red Bryant, Marcus Tubbs, Chris Cooper
LB: Julian Peterson, Lofa Tatupu, Leroy Hill, D.D. Lewis, Will Herring, Wesley Mallard, Lance Laury
DB: Marcus Trufant, Kelly Jennings, Deon Grant, Brian Russell, Josh Wilson, Jordan Babineaux, Kevin Hobbs, C.J. Wallace
SPECIAL TEAMS: Ryan Plackemeier, Olindo Mare, Tyler Schmitt
So here are the issues: What do you do with Marcus Tubbs? Obviously you will have a better idea come training camp of his ability to recover from back-to-back knee injuries, but if you want to keep around the former first-round pick, then you not only can't keep Larry Tripplett, you likely have to sacrifice somebody on offense; to me, that person is Jordan Kent. As talented as he is, he has not developed quite enough and is a perfect guy for one more year on the practice squad. The danger is that he gets plucked by somebody else (Jim Zorn). But I think it's a chance they might have to take because it would be hard to keep only six linebackers because of special teams, it would be hard to keep less than eight defensive backs and it would be hard, with the type of money they have paid T.J. Duckett, to keep less than five running backs. Beyond that, when Deion Branch comes back, they will have to make a decision on one of the other WRs, probably Logan Payne (though that is assuming there are no injuries, which we all know is not likely). With the roster the way I have it set up, they already had to make tough decisions on Tripplett, as well as Mike Green, Omare Lowe, David Kirtman, Joe Newton, Kyle Williams and Howard Green.

I attended a Denver football clinic last year and the speaker, an ex college coach, brought up a very interesting point for youth football coaches. How many times do you see a perfect form tackle in a high school, college or pro football games? He proposed not very often, and you know what, I must agree. I played football for 10 years from 8 years old to 18, and I think I made 10 perfect form tackles. As an outside Linebacker, I was usually on the run, pushing through blockers and clinging to the runner to pull him down. How many perfect form tackles have you seen or made?
I must agree that form tackling is overrated. I think it is great to teach the form tackling technique to protect against neck injuries and how to drive your legs through the player, but most tackles are made spontaneously grabbing any part of the ball carrier to bring him down. You dont see a lot of NFL or NCAA players breaking down into a perfect form tackling stance before making the initial hit. Everything is moving too quick.
So really, tackling is about bringing the ball carrier to the ground for youth football players and all defensive football players.
Good luck this season. Play for fun and Winning is funner.
