The River Basin of Football (Stay with me, here)

[monster]

The transformation of football from a game of brute strength and collisions to one of speed and open seams isn't limited to the NFL. Four decades into a half-century career in coaching, Warren Wolf of Brick Township High School in central New Jersey, concluded that the most efficient play he could call was to immediately put the ball into the hands of his best athlete and provide him with ample room to wreak havoc on the defense. Whether that meant running or passing, the result was the same: The chaos created space, and the space allowed his team to move the ball up the field. "Nine times out of 10, the broken play is the best play in football if you've got a guy who can move," Mr. Wolf says.

My JV football team had an awesome running QB, best athlete on the field every game... we had a play called "broken 34" to the right, and "broken 35" to the left. It was actually a play were all the lineman blocked down to one side, the receivers blocked towards the sideline and our QB just ran to space... it was chaos, but it worked and the team went 9-0.

How many times does the broken play go for big yards?!? DL over purses, flushes out the QB and some sort of back yard scramble completion happens... See BSU game last week, Moore was awesome when flushed out...
