Against Tanking

[*PhilHos*]

I don't want the team to tank, but this is certainly the time for the coaches to try different things just to try them. Wins at this point are secondary to improving the team.

Have the OL try different blocking schemes, see what they're good at, especially against other opponents. Try different OL combinations, too.
Defensively, same thing, gameplan for opponents, but try different formations, different schemes. Play the rookies more.
Run a whole lost of gimmick plays on offense. Be creative but don't be predictable.

Just tell the players that we're not tanking but we are going to start experimenting and let them know you're open to their ideas, too.

This way, if we win, we win, but if we don't, we're at least having fun.
