[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 475856, member: 2957"] I am reminded of the need for perfection of ONE PLAY ... and of course ... Lombardi: "For a decade, Vince Lombardi's Power Sweep dominated pro football. It used minimum deception and maximum effort, "four yards and a cloud of dust," perfect for Green Bay's ball-control offense. The power sweep was pure Lombardi: fundamental; few frills; teamwork. Lombardi told his team: "Gentlemen, if we can make this play work, we can run the football." The Green Bay Packers did make it work, through constant drill and practice. [LEFT][IMG]http://www.strategosinc.com/images/people/Lombardi.jpg[/IMG][/LEFT]"You think there's anything special about this sweep? Well, there isn't. It's as basic a play as there can be in football. We simply do it over and over and over.There can never be enough emphasis on repetition. I want my players to be able to run this sweep in their sleep. If we call the sweep twenty times, I'll expect it to work twenty times...not eighteen, not nineteen." That is the kind of discipline we don't have. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
