Diner Napkin is free in the RC Football play designer this week. Every line wobbles and there is coffee on it.

Shown: Power, 7v7 from Gun I. The back takes it off the QB's hip and runs to daylight behind four receivers who screen. Angle it to a side, not straight into the snapper.

New one every Sunday at 8pm PT.

Watch for the jet sweep in today's NFL games. 🏈

A receiver sprints across the formation before the snap and takes the handoff at full speed. He is moving and the defense is not.

In 11v11 the line reaches playside and the backside slot kicks out the edge. In 5v5 flag football nobody blocks, so it is a pure footrace, and it is the one run that loses nothing without blockers.

Is jet motion in your playbook yet? 👇

Last play of the half, 48 yards out. The Bears put two safeties on the goal line for the Hail Mary.

Maye dumped it to Stevenson in the flat. Nobody was home. Touchdown.

Flag version: send everyone deep, throw it short.

From Saturday, Oct. 10 (late, but worth it): Cal beats man coverage with 33 seconds left, down 20-19 at the Virginia Tech 33.

VT brings pressure and leaves Ian Strong alone on the sideline. Brousseau throws it to his outside shoulder. 31 yards to the 2. Cal scores on the next snap.

In flag: seam holds the safety, go ball outside. https://t.co/EVJvxbF3IK

"Expectations. Execution. No excuses. No explanations."

Tony Dungy

Six words on his locker room sign for 13 years, and youth flag football coaches reach for the last two after every loss.

The ref missed it. Their kid looks 13. Our best player was at a birthday party.

All true, and none of it changes Tuesday's practice. Name the one thing you will execute better, and drill it.

No excuses, no explanations. Just the next rep.

What excuse do you hear most on your sideline? 👇

Youth football play calling at the half, 5 things:

1. Mesh is the #1 play (13% of coaches)
2. Spread is the most-drawn formation in every format
3. 69/31 pass to designed run. The Go is the #1 route.
4. 76% of defenses are zone
5. 20% asked the AI for a trick play. 8% asked how to beat a coverage.

What should we measure in the second half?

2nd and goal, Texans up 3. Stroud rolls right, throws for the back corner. Travis Hunter was on Hutchinson from the snap and stayed on him. Pick.

Flag cue on the goal line: QB runs, you don't. Stay on your man till the whistle.

Game 1 of the World Series is tonight. We are all things football around here, but a lot of you coach flag on Saturday and watch the Fall Classic on Sunday, so the field is a ballpark this weekend. Bases, mound, foul lines, the works.

Four Verticals, 11v11. The outside two on go routes, the inside two on seams. Against single-high the safety has two seams and one of him. Depths staggered on purpose so four receivers do not arrive in one band and share defenders.

The Ballpark skin is live and free for everyone through Monday 10/26. Draw a play on it and send it to the baseball dad on your staff: https://t.co/cImDyWfmPH

How youth coaches talk to an AI play designer:

65% of requests under 40 characters
53% edit a play they already have
43% name one player ("put the slot on a wheel")
28% of coaches asked for motion or a jet

What would you ask it for?

Steelers-Bucs, tied with 1:46 left. Egbuka runs a quick out, Jamel Dean drives on it, picks it at the 43 and runs to the 3.

Flag cue: eyes on the closest receiver. He breaks out, you break with him.

Today is Back to the Future Day, so the field got time circuits.

Jet Slant Fade, 5v5. Fake the jet. Three-step slant underneath, fades on both sidelines.

The fake moves the second level one step the wrong way. That step is where the slant goes.

Youth coaches drew it. Did it make the playbook?

Spread: 47% drew it, 50% made the playbook
Mesh: 13% / 17%
Four Verticals: 10% / 17%, the biggest jump

Which play did you draw but never call?

The NFL's new head of flag football says nobody has invested in developing volunteer coaches.

You can see it in what they draw. Across RC Football this fall:

• Spread is the most-drawn formation in every format
• The go route is #1 at every level
• 76% of their defenses are zone

My first book review. So damn nervous reading it.

But - it’s very positive!

Publisher’s Weekly calls it a “punchy, self-deprecating invitation to break the rules.”

HELL YES🍻

@KyleBrandt @GrandCentralPub @WME_Sports @gmfb @PublishersWkly Cool dude congrats and love the Bo Jackson throwback

76% of youth football defenses are zone, not man.

Where coaches put the zone defenders:
Underneath 48% (Hook leads at 22%)
Deep 43% (Deep Third leads at 15%)

Man or zone on your team?

Old School Chalkboard is free in the RC Football play designer this week.

Shown: 7v7 Smash. The hitch holds the flat defender low, the corner runs behind him. Read him, throw the other one.

Flag vs tackle, from the Halftime Report:

Designed run: 29% of plays in 5v5 flag, 20% in 7-on-7, 39% in 11v11
Play-action: 10% / 6% / 7%
#2 route: Drag in flag, Slant in tackle

Flag or tackle coaches: how often do you run it?

@CoachSamz Geez a building software is hard but I’m sorry this happened

[RC Football @RC_Football_]

Thanks for the mention @BuyingSandlot 🏈

With the growth of flag football, there aren't enough resources to support the skills needed to develop quality amateur coaches at all levels.

We're addressing this with what we build, and excited to see the @NFL investing resources here as well
