Were going to blow you out of there. And the defensive coaches are pumping up there guys. Here we were looking for high level competition, for toughness. That was a spirited jousting contest but the time wasnt used to teach the players to play the real game. There is a time at all levels of football for a compete and win type of practice such as one on one blocking or one on one tackling.
Physical toughness is certainly an essential part of the game.
To win the game we must be prepared for all of the situations which we will encounter. We must be prepared to play intelligently. Just like catching a ball is not baseball, but is essential to the game. And shooting a basket is not basketball, but is essential to the game. Blocking or beating a block, tackling or evading a tackle, catching a pass or making an interception are all parts of the physical aspect of the game, the joust.
