Another Football Question

Regarding speed for football, could I stick with longer accelerations and rely on playing flag/touch football and strength work(this encompasses plyometrics, bodyweight moves, weights, etc…) for agility and development of shorter acc.?

I don’t see why not. Barry Sanders credits all of his moves with playing flag football.

yeh, i rule at flag, i love the looks on the kids faces and how they yell at eachother about how I can weigh twice as much as they do, yet literally put them on the ground without touching them and out run them. i think i will be playing a lot more often now. Barry is nothing compared to me, you all will see :wink:

numba56,

aren’t you playing organized contact football now?
This is football season, at least for the high schools here in NC

td

yeh talkn bout fo offseason, plus we play in PE and around the neighborhood

56,

“walk on” ??

your too young 2b setting the bar so low. Any idea how many FB scholarships are given out in the state of MI alone? I’d guess in the hundreds.

td

have you all played East Grand Rapids and Kevin Hardy?

i dont live in michigan but will be up there. i get played at d-line, which i do pretty good at, but nothing like how i could run…

anyone know of any good football sites or messageboards for tips and stuff?

www.nflhs.com is pretty good… defrancostraining.com is also good… Just search around, you’ll find some… I think a good site that has good drills is www.ezdrills.com… is that right?? Not sure if that’s the correct address…
