[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 105194, member: 598"] From an article Nov 23, 2005 on Packers.com [url=http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2005/11/23/2/]Gado Focuses On Improving Ball Protection[/url] [b]As part of their ball protection philosophy, the Packers emphasize the football should touch three points of contact. They coach their players to form a peace sign with two fingers on the tip of the ball. Running backs rest the ball on the second point of contact -- the forearm. For the third point of contact, the non-exposed side of the ball should touch the rib cage below the shoulder pads. "With those three points of contact, you should have the ability to maintain ball possession for three to five seconds after first contact," fullback William Henderson said. [/b] Is this, in effect, saying the same thing or are we changing how the backs are supposed to carry the ball? [/QUOTE]
