AAF Devils Advocate: Interesting Playoff Scenario

AAF Devils Advocate: Interesting Playoff Scenario By Darrin Sheffer For the most part Week 1 of the first AAF season was a success.  By reading most of your Twitter posts about the AAF there seems to be a positive reception.  Well today I'd like to play Devils Advocate with a future scenario that might make the AAF even more interesting.   https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/betting/gamblers-bet-on-aaf-football-games-despite-no-history-1596331/ As of right now I believe that the key to Expanding the AAF is to officially partner with the NFL and make the AAF a "Minor League".  I may go into more detail with this in a future post, but for today's conversation lets just assume that this is a possibility.  I could see a potential for a playoff system like the one in the GFL or German Football League  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Football_League  .  https://www.americanfootballinternational.com/german-football-league-kicks-off-2018-season/

Simple Way to Add A 4-2-5 Front in a Base 33 Stack Defense

Simple Way to Add A 4-2-5 Front into A Base 33 Stack Defense By Coach Sheffer https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-defensive-end-stance-in-football When running a High School Defense how many fronts should you have in your arsenal?  Some might say just run one front while others say it's best to carry multiple.  While I can see both sides I do tend to lean more towards being able to carry multiple looks in your defense.  Today's post isn't going to focus on why you should carry multiple fronts, but on one simple way you could carry multiple fronts.  If you run a base 33 Stack/3-5-3 defense, or want to know more about it, and you would like a simple way to get into a 4-2-5 look this is the post for you.   Base 33 Box This is our "base" Stack front with our Nose head up on the Center, Ends head up on the Tackles and our Backers "Stacked" directly behind them at 3-4 yards deep.  In this particular example I have set our strength opposite
