Grading Systems

+ if OL does his job (alignment accurate, assignment accurate, defender does not make play)

- if OL does not do his job (if ANY alignment, assignment is innacurate or if the defender assigned makes play)

That's all.

Whether you are "grading" or not - look CLOSELY for (& put under "comments" column on EACH play) - "CORRECTABLE MISTAKES"!

We do the standard 2, 1, 0. 2 means he did EVERYTHING right. We will even get a 3 if the technique and effort is outstanding. A 1 means they did things OK, but really had no effect on the play. A 0 means they screwed up or gave undesirable effort. We add all their points up, divide by the number of plays. For the OL, their score should be 1.5 or higher for very good. Anything under a 1.0, and we open the job up the following week. One thing we do that has REALLY helped us, is we film Team period the first two weeks of practice and grade it everyday. It is only usually 20 plays, and it takes some work from the coaches, but we really perfect our execution that way.
