Could not agree more. With kids that went thru this system. Ivan calls plays that the kids have no idea what he is saying. That is when the QB should run the best play he knows to get yardage.
This senior class when they were 8th grade & freshman had 24 players on it. What has happened cause they are down to 12 senior players. Most of these players were lineman also.

Wing - T isn't very complicated....8-22 9-23 8-26 9-27 etc..depending on what direction your going left or right...the motion in the backfield is the same...and the blocking assingments are consistent with the steps...most kids pick it up fairly easy during their freshman year....actually most know it before they even get their back during the JFL days...Ivan sends players in with the play most of the time...so they don't have to be looking to the sideline to HEAR him...The freshman class usually is bigger compared to when they become seniors b/c there is more playing time on the freshman team...as they get older...that whole class won't be starting as Seniors...there will be Juniors and Soph. taking those positions as well...so unfortunately some kids quit and don't stick with it....it's like that with most of the schools in the area...if it weren't we'd be seeing things like they were in the 70s and 80s when there was 70 players on a team...now 45 - 50 is big number for teams around here. :yawn:
