Gasilla Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 I was just thinking earlier how, if we were fortunate enough to get a lead in games in the near future how it would be a perfect opportunity (and a good idea I would think) to work on some areas of our game that need it. Mainly, in the passing department. While it's always good to practice it during the week. NO practice is as good as live action I would think. Knowing people get awefully touchy about "running up the score". Where do you draw the line? Or do you? To me, it's a no brainer. I would be out to get my team as well prepared for the future as possible, but I'm sure it gets a little more complicated than that for an OC or HC. I've heard many people talking about how a team was throwing deep up by ____ points. What is wrong with it? Now, maybe if it's the last play of the game, but what if it's midway through the 3rd quarter? Any thoughts on where that magic line is drawn and where it goes from getting in valuable practice to running up the score?
OldSkool97 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 I Would keep em in at least for 3 strong. Maybe 3 and a little of the 4th depending on the score.I agree that during a game(with a big enough lead) that there is no better time to work out some of the kinks.
