The Huddle on Endzone O

There are some good articles (and some bad ones too) on how to score goals in end zone offense on http://www.the-huddle.org this week.

Two articles that I particularly liked:

Nick Handler’s: Exploiting Defensive Adjustments
Ben Wiggin’s: Scoring without Breaking the Mark

Two recurrent themes:

1. No matter what you do, be decisive in your cutting.
2. Your positioning before you even start your cut may be the difference between success and failure.

I also liked this quote from Steve Sullivan’s article (though not necessarily his punctuation):

“Really, long points are earned at practice and at the track, well before the specific moment arrives on a Sunday afternoon.”

And this one from Ben Wiggins:

“Offensively, you want to score. That means making most of your plays easy, and making up for your mistakes with talent or practice.”
