skinner_77 May 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) 7on7 will allow us to see who understands where they are supposed to be - we learn early in who WONT be in the equation #swarmfbchat

CoachHays13 May 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: all about practice time, for what we do I prefer 2v2s in practice. But will do a couple 7v7 #swarmfbchat

CoachTWill22 May 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: I think 7 on 7 is great for coverage skills as long as you do what you do. LBs read run, run our stuff, try to compete! #swarmfbchat

CoachKGrabowski May 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 a7v7 is a good drill if you give it a focus. As an HC worked base cov 3 and then cov 1 when they got inside 15 #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace May 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Luckily, I'm DLine, so I get to avoid all that. We live in the weight room. #swarmfbchat
