I went to a coaching clinic @ MSU today and the secondary coach is teaching DBs to bicycle out of the backpedal to change their direction upfield. Can any of you DB coaches explain this technique in more detail? Is it more efficient than planting the outside foot to change directions? Thanks!
If this is what I think it is, the DB simply drops his hips while chopping his feet(short chops, kinda' like pedaling a bicycle). The DB's first real step is in the direction he must break. I learned this technique when I first started coaching DB's. I personally think it's better than the old T-step because the DB can transfer his weight more quickly. I teach this technique to our DB's, but when I talk about it I use the term "chop, chop, go".

I must be getting old, I called it "Flintstoning" after how Fred used to get his car going and had to explain it to kids that had never seen the "Flintstones".

I learned it in college as Flintstoning too. And that's the term I use. I think high school kids are still old enough to know what I'm talking about. I explaing where it got it's name and they understand that. I usually get an "Ohhhhh. O.k." then a laugh or two. I'm only 26, so it's not age, just a newer, more "football" way of saying it. I like Flintstoning and I'll use it until I get kids who don't know who the Flintstones are.
