line splits

One of the biggest differences I encountered in moving to Florida was the line splits. I had been used to using 2 feet for the guards and 3 feet for tackles and tightends. Similar to Coach Cambell we used the Bear Bryant rules on line splits. When I first Moved down to Florida I amazed at the small splits most schools use down here. Only in the last year or so am I starting to see schools open thier splits up. Personally I like large splits especially when running the option, since this seems to be the number one H.S. offense you would think most schools would follow suit. I am continually amazed at teams with 6 inch splits and calling their offense a Winged T. I am sure Coach Raymond would vomit. The key is being displinced and consistant.

Good Luck,
Joe
