[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1047244, member: 10086"] There were a couple things I learned in that type of game affected by extreme weather. Learned or reinforced I should say. 1. Ball handling will be paramount. Making severe changes such as switching our Center is a high risk move. 1A. Don’t exasperate a major position switch by using an unusually high amount of Shotgun. It’s hard enough doing that for a Veteran Center much less a guy who didn’t play the position regularly. If your QB1 is injured don’t inflame it, put in a healthy QB under Center. Reduce Risk instead of going for the big play. Remember that the first team to make a mistake… loses. 2. Don’t give your opponent any help. Don’t get impatient and force any throws in a closer game. Especially anything in that 1 score area backed up near your Endzone. Be prepared to throw the ball at your players feet and live to see another series or just lay down and take the -5 play. Punt and force your opponent to start on their side of the field with limited time and in risky weather. Let them force it. 2A. The false starts are unacceptable on a day with a lower score and difficult moving. Watch the snap and not the cadence. Stay frozen until that ball moves at least a foot. 3. In the opponent Redzone use your running game disproportionately IF it’s been effective. Do not call plays like End Arounds or Screens that start -5 negative. Take the tough +3 yards up the gut over the riskier plays. Chip away ans they say. A big play will open up eventually. Again don’t help your opponent get momentum with them attaining anything behind LOS or anything negative. Go 0 yards or go + yards. Don’t snap it -9 yards deep it a recipe for disaster in a slippery condition. 3A. Don’t plan on Kicking any FG unless you are at or near the Redzone or the gameclock is expiring at the Half. Don’t allow your opponent any help on field position once again. Back them up to the 5 yard line and make them earn 95 yards in process. Detroit had 247 yards in 4qtrs or averaged 62 yards per Quarter. The driving Rain and Win is like having a 12 man Defense. Rely on your Defense. Detroit has scored 10 points on Offense in 2 quarters. Make them score 7 points and 95 yards in 1 possession. Take that bet. [/QUOTE]
