The Duke said:So who made you king of postmodernism and made your definition of respect during football games the only right way?
Starters throwing during trash time is disrespect not backups versus starters.
That is really sad that you are the one that endorses the starters staying in until the end. So if you were a coach, how do you respond to the dads and moms that show up to your office the next day after a High school or worse "Pop Warner" game and explain to them why little Johnny couldn't play even a down on a meaningless running play to kill the clock?
"Umm well Mister and Misses Jones, your child never played even one down ever in 7 years on the football team because he got to play in the exhibition game for one, and besides I was being classy and respectful by having my starters play every down."
If that doesn't sound wrong to you then there is obviously no reason for me to continue this discussion.
We did it today in our peewee football game.
When we were up by one score and we had possession of the ball and the ref said there was only going to be four more plays. I walked over to the opposing coach and told him what I was going to do.
The opposing coach agreed and the ref was there to overhear our conversation. I told our QB to play straight runs (Blast plays) up the gut and the RBs were asked to go into the middle of the pile with both hands on the ball.
a gesture on my part in this early part of the season is something I expect to be reciprocated in my next game.
Hey when you turn into a football coach you go ahead and let your second string QB come into a game at garbage time and air it out to try and score on a team who is down by three scores.
Let us all in this forum know how it works out for you.
