its alot of why a great pass rush can prop up a mediocre secondary, and vice versa, a great secondary helps the pass rush. but yea in youth football i guess with time a qb could stare his receiver(s) down and they could get picked easier with their goofy lobs
coaching o-line in youth football has to be the most difficult task. i was fb/LB all through midget, but in middle school i played TE for the 8th grade squad (while in 7th) and on the 7th grade team they had me at G. o-line was the fucking worst. also our teams were terrible though so it didn't help. but word, back then we were coached to basically keep hands inside and try and get under their shoulder pads and drive em into em which worked great in theory, but i was wack, and didn't want to play o-line in the first place. we just had no size on our 7th grade squad, and i've basically been the same size since 9th grade lol.
but word once i was actually in the 8th grade i was too busy getting high and fingering ho's like a young gentlemen to play anymore.
but the 3 years in midget and one year in middle school was the best times probably. used to just BODY people
long story short, most kids don't want to play o-line in the first place, so they ain't going to really want to learn. there has to be a way to get them into it but yea i dont know. d-line was dope cuz your getting after people, but o-line always felt like a chore

Youth football is MUCH different. We have 1 receiver, 2 tops if I'm calling twins or wide out ride or left - A split end and a 2 back/flanker who lines up in the slot. And yes, coaching offensive linemen is difficult. I always go with fundamentals tho, ensuring all of my linemen know their holes and which way to drive to open holes needed for my backs. This year I had a few pulling plays for my offensive linemen, which turned out well for my wedges.
In youth football, when coaching kids from the ages of 8 through 10. All you need is 7 seconds. After that the pocket usually crumbles and the QB roles out or gets sacked. But in those 7 seconds, my wide out flanker or split end knows their rout which AT MOST is 10 yards. The thing with youth football defense is, those 10 yards are tough, because the corners, and safties usually lines up 5 to 10 yards off the line of scrimmage. I know my defense they line up that way. Nose guard in the A gap of the strong side, 1 DT in the B gap, and my DE's outside shoulder of the last man on the O Line, with a Middle LIne backer, 2 outside line backers, one on the right and one on the left 3 yards off the line of scrimmage. My corners are 7 yards off the line of scrimmage with the weak side corners ALWAYS blitzing along with the weak size outside line backer and my safeties 10 yards off the line if scrimmage with my strong safety sovering the weak side line backers zone. So pass plays are a little difficult which is why youth football relies mostly on jets sweeps, buck sweeps and reverses.
Lol @ half the idiots in here not knowing what they are talking about...
Clearly, the O LINE'S MAIN JOB IS TO PROTECT THE QB and open HOLES FOR THE BACKS... Everything else is extra. But their PRIMARY JOB is what I've been saying all along. |
