How Much to Install?

As a firm believer in KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) philosophy, I liked this article by Alan from The Press Box Analysis talking about why Less is More with regards to playbooks.

Chris from Smart Football with Why Every Team Should Install its Offense in Three Days.  The Air Raid offense is really tremendous from the standpoint of having as few plays as possible to attack every area of the field and to complement the other plays in its system.

Tony Demeo article on Installing an Offense - Year One

A good article on the methods of memorizing playbooks by NFL players here.

Eric Winston, Houston Texans OT, had a good quote in this ESPN article about the size of playbooks:

"I've always wondered why coaches preach 'execution, execution, execution' and have 500-page playbooks. It's hard for those things to coexist."

Also, I am working on revamping the site and updating all of the files (long overdue).
