I have never played organized football.
That said I have learned some physically and mentally connected movements.
For instance Karate Katas and Dances. A football formation SEEMS similar. (Start here.....move to this position...do this...).
I know that some people learn in different ways. For instance I prefer to do the same Kata over and over and over in one chunk of time....eventually "Mastering it" (ha). Same with Dancing. I might break it up into sections...working on section 2 until I master that then moving to 3.
Eventually I then tie them all together. Sure while I might have mastered the individual pieces I will still screw up when I tie them together. But at least I know I have the "building blocks" to put it all together. Eventually my competence of the blocks leads to a competence of the whole. I can then move onto the next Kata. Days, weeks or even months later I can then go back and perform that action.
When you integrate a player onto your team, maybe by trade, maybe he is a new recruit or draftee, how do you then teach him the play book?
It would seem to make sense to me that you teach him 1 play. "Durango" In Durango you line up here, and you do this. In Durango 2 you line up here and do that. Durango 3 etc etc. It would seem to me that a Pro Athlete would have some of the building blocks (Route tree) and would simply need to pull it all together Of where to line up.
So Tim Wright we are running a Durango 3 Bandit (designator they give TEs) 5. So from his position in Durango 3 (Left Slot) he is running an out.
I understand my terminology is wrong....and I understand that Brady isnt calling plays for each individual receiving option and that the Erhardt-Perkins throws alot of info at guys (3 routes (or more) per Receiver Position). But I guess my point is that shouldnt these guys be able to learn 2-3 "Packages" in a week?Should they be able to learn more?
As a short term fix to simplify further.....Tim Wright isnt going to be lining up Out wide very often. So couldnt you "focus" on the "Durango" Slot and End plays for him? Sure the end goal is to have "Any Receiver line up in any position and run any route" but does he have do it all NOW?
Finally I know someone cant go through the season knowing 2 plays.....but 2 plays this week and 2 plays next week and 3 plays the following week....it would seem that you could learn a significant portion of the play book while still keeping the Defense from keying on you.
Lets discuss your experience and explain why most players seem to struggle so badly not only here but when introduced to any "new offense".
