Practice 9/23/04


This practice we introduced our endzone offense and the force middle defense. The endzone offense can be found on pages 44-47 of the playbook. Force middle is covered on page 54. When we play straight up defense, when the offense get with 15 yards of the endzone, we change the force to middle. This is because the straight up mark is ineffective close to the endzone. So whenever force straight up is called on line, it means straight up, until they get close to the endzone, then change the force to middle.

One particularly sage piece advice came from Don Corson. He said that in doing the Go To drill, you should be pushing you ability to catch the disc, as you accelerate to and lunge for it. Make sure you accelerate the last three steps into the catch. If you are pushing your limits, drops are acceptable in that drill. It's your opportunity to push beyond your comfort level, and show throwers that you are a receiver that can be trusted to go and get the disc when it is in the air.

E9U!
