    OK guys. We're three weeks into season two; so these items should not be an issue. However, I want to bring them to light so that EVERYONE is on the same page. The first video is ONE minute and the second video is FIVE minutes. Please, watch BOTH videos and also LISTEN to the commentary in the second video in particular. Both videos provide perfect examples and visually display EXACTLY what we are looking for (or not) when it comes to kick returns and gaining the edge when running the ball. ALL OWNERS MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY VIEWED BOTH VIDEOS BY REPLYING TO THIS POST. Thank you in advance.*


    FIRST VIDEO... Kick returns should only be taken to the outside if you have gained an edge due to a poorly angled kick OR by means of a successful juke move or spin move. Parallel running to gain the edge - DON'T DO IT!



    SECOND VIDEO... Parallel running is a big NO-NO in league play. If you want to gain the edge, do so with the use of your blockers and/or by means of a successful (and appropriate) juke move or spin move.





    *DISCLAIMER... This post is NOT directed toward anyone in particular nor is it being brought up because of any highlight videos in particular. Jim will attest that I have been meaning to post something like this for weeks. With that said, this post is NOT intended to create a rash of complaints.The intention of this post is to be just a mere reminder to EVERYONE about the style of play we should be seeing when it pertains to gaining the edge.

    I have watched both videos. I have to admit, there not a game i haven't play that i wont see that outside Parallel style of play. Its so dam successful some owners can't help to see that hole and head for end zone. This is one of the reason i try to finds Defensive Ends with speed...:grumpy::grumpy: and that still doesn't work...

    Thanks for the update Doug

    Do either of you have a smart phone? If you do make sure you get the app "TapaTalk" it use to be a paid for app, but now is FREE. It alerts me every time on my phone with post.

    The app is a Forum portal. Check it out.

    ive watched both. Good idea to bring this out. Especially the the use of the juke to bounce runs. Thats better than immediately hitting the stick and runnin side to side. No one likes to see blast runs taken outside.

    Viewed and signed in the under world we call this the bounce house people turning off tackle runs into sweeps and the KR bounce can be issues good job on video showing exactly what the problem could be.

    Watched both videos. Thank you Doug.

    I'm not singling anyone out but I've personally seen this more times than I care for. What makes it worse is I can usually predict when I'm going to see it. Can't say I'm pleased with the kickoff gameplay this release thus far, so collectively I think we all can do a little better.
