    Yes. Ask your coach.

    We wouldn’t really know. You have to learn the jargon of your team’s own playbook. locloc08

    i am guessing that your plays have a “system” such as if there is an even number in the call you block one way or an odd, the other. if you are still confused and cant figure out the system, dont be afraid to ask the coach to have him help you. i can almost guarantee he will be happy to help. even if he isnt, im sure he would rather you understand the plays then keep making the same mistakes.

    you have to study the play book. I’m sure plays that start with a certain number or code indicate certain plays. football is not an easy sport…it is mentally and phsically draining. you’ll have to put in time for both matt
