How to use this blog

Use it to shape you thoughts, and conversation about the game.

I have gone out of my way to highlight how the elite teams in American are playing, and break it down in words and pictures you can understand.

There are other ways of playing the game, and other ways of talking about it. Some tactics, techniques and strategies are equally effective as these 'quick rugby' patterns. Many of them are incompatible with this style of play.

When thinking about the game think in terms of creating a dynamic offense, a high pressure defense, and thinking in multiple phases. The rest of the game will flow from this.

Conversations should revolve around executing your pattern--putting defensive pressure on first phase, setting a stifling wall on second phase, launching quick attacks on offense, and keeping play dynamic.

This blog should also be referred to coaches who want to help out. If they give advice contrary to the concepts in this blog refer them to these pages, give them my credentials, and stay the quick pace course.
