We've got a graduate physics student intramural flag football team going. I just received our defensive playbook. It's 20 pages long.

Some people really have too much time on their hand... Who could possibly write 20 pages about something inane like that?

I'm sorry, did the liberal arts schmucks just discuss writing about useless stuff?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

playbook is still a playbook.. it's what you do, it's your manual. Playbooks can make it or break it.
20 pages worth of playbook on defense for some sport is better than 20 pages of wondering how communism could work. Why? Because the other one is realistic.In da butt.

When would you not just man up on D? Would zones and blitzes work in flag football?I never know their names, But i smile just the same

Zones can work. If you have slow people on your defence man to man won't work for you.Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.Comment

Yes. This flag football has weird rules. There's no count before rush. To protect the QB you have to "block" without contact. You basically set screens. The defending player cannot initiate contact either, so if you're on the OL it's just a question of keeping yourself between the defenders and your QB. An unexpected blitz can really work well in this situation, but it needs a zone in case the QB manages to get a ball in the air.
Right now we have 4 different basic zones, each of which has 3 variants: no blitz, 1 man blitz, 2 man blitz, and any of those blitzes can be performed by different combinations of defenders.
We can also fall back on man coverage if the zone/blitz combo isn't working.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Actually, it sounds a lot like basketball's contact rules.
So the teams in this league actually have plays - they don't just say "hey, let's run left" or "go run a fly - you run a hook?" That... seems like it runs counter to the intramural aspect. You guys are trying too hard.I never know their names, But i smile just the same

That's fun stuff

Personally, I'm not going to blitz too much. I'm going to play in one of the pseudo-cornerback positions because I have good instincts for that...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
