Help me name my offense


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Got a buddy who coaches youth flag football who came to me for help with coaching and prep. So over the past couple of days I wrote a playbook for him. Finished it up with a little over thirty plays, some defensive alignments and a two-minute drill.

For perspective, there's a good chance some of the other coaches are drawing plays in the dirt or just telling their kids "go long", so it'd be fair to say the effort I'm putting into this is probably overkill.

(but I'm having fun, so I don't care) :D

At one point, he asked me if I had a name for my offense.

Thought about it, but couldn't come up with anything I liked much.

So here I am, looking for suggestions.

I designed the plays to try and maximize one-on-one matchups and also did my level best to evenly distribute the ball amongst the kids. There's six players on field at a time and I have them arranged in multiple formations. It's a pass oriented attack, with most plays having short, medium and long options as well as a safety valve and a run option should he prefer.

Any ideas for what I could call this?

Keep in mind I'm working with kids here so be nice, ya bastards :sosp:

(and yes, I'm probably going to regret this) :lol:

Steam Engine Option

The "safety valve" thing immediately took my brain to things like hot water heaters, steam engines, and just about anything useful that has a valve to release pressure.

*shrug*

Though when using the acronym "SEO" everyone who's tech savvy might think you're talking about Search Engine Optimization.

How about "I'm 6 and can't tie my shoes ...how am I going to remember 30 plays"

Actually 10-12, but as far as remembering plays, they don't have to. We took steps to make it easy.

- The plays are on 4 x 6 cards that the coach carries on field and shows them before each play.

- Their respective "O's" are color coded so all they have to do is look for their color and see what to do.

- We gave them colored wristbands so that they can remember which color to look for on the play chart.

The idea in general was to make the play as simple as knowing what route to run, though there are one or two kids who I know are pretty smart so I gave them some additional responsibilities.

The only one with a lot to do mentally is my buddy (and he can handle it)

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.
