[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 28294, member: 923"] On Snoddy: It is a waste of talent to neglect to make Snoddy the kickoff return man. Also, the next fastest man on the team should be back there with him. No, he will not succeed if he is made to follow the blockers in a coach developed scheme. His speed is the one most important ingredient for kickoff returns. All the blockers shouild be told to go upfield, find someone to block, and leave the rest to Snoddy. He is to be told to catch the ball, look upfield, find the most open space, light the after-burners and head in that direction. He is to never slow or stop to sidestep anyone, but keep it at full speed the entire time. Speed alone will produce more yardage. If the runner has 4.2 speed, and the defenders have 4.5 speed, that is only three-tenths of a second difference. If he slows for three-tenths of a second for any reason, he has lost the speed advantage and the defenders will catch up to him. lf he continues with the burners on full blast, there is always the chance of the defender falling down, missing his angle, or any number of mistakes by the defender. If Snoddy decides to change his direction, he should do so at maximum speed, never slowing down. This is called using the speed talent of the runner and not trying to adjust the runner to a particular blocking scheme, or the so-called wedge. [/QUOTE]
