I'm wondering how spotting the ball at a hash can influence play calling and defensive schemes. If you have the time and the inclination, I'd appreciate it. Trailrunner

Ball placement helps you decide which plays you want to call. If you need room to run a play it goes to the wide side and vice versa. Time constraints also are a determing factor in order to get the clock stopped expediently.

Thanks. Bible study is my favorite period of the day. The interaction and discussion arm me for the week. As for your input, thanks! I was hoping for more, but it is probably as simple as you make it sound. For some reason I thought it was rocket science.

For me, the defensive calls depend more on offensive tendencies than field position, we have played teams that run a balanced look, but really like to run to the wide side or the short side, we call our d based on them, not field location. I know some teams play their defensive backs according to field position, they have a boundary corner, and a field corner, the boundary can help a lesser corner becasue there is less space to cover.

MOST of the best "DC's" I know are VERY conscious of horizontal (lateral) AND vertical field position.

For example - MANY follow this rule when the ball is on or NEAR the hash:

A) Offensive strength into the boundary - play a BALANCED defense.

B) Offensive strength into the wide field - put the STRENGTH of the defense into the wide field!
