The Best Team in the NFL

Of course, recognizing a football team as the best in the league is purely based on opinion. Your bias definitely has a lot to do with where you come from. Born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I happen to be a full-blown, paint your face green and wear a cheese head, die hard, crazy Green Bay Packer fan. I have been watching the green and gold since diaper status. But just because I grew up cheering for this Midwest team doesn't mean that I'm a poser.

The Green Bay Packers are recognized by many as the greatest football team in the NFL. You will find fans no matter which state you are in, and that's an amazing thing. It's no wonder why these guys have such loyal fans, they are on a four game winning streak in this 2009 season, and they are making their way to the NFL playoffs with the number one defensive team and number sixth offensive line in the entire league. For all of you fans constantly searching for more facts to run your mouth with, read on for some very interesting, perhaps unknown facts about the greatest team in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers.

1. The "Green Bay Packers" just so happen to be the longest-standing team name in the history of the NFL.

2. Other team nicknames of the past are "Indian Packers" or "Indians" (1919), "Acme Packers" (1921), "Blues" (1922), "Big Bay Blues" (1920's), "Bays", (1918-1940), and currently "The Pack," and "The Green and Gold."

3. Every single Packer game has been sold out since all the way back in 1960.

4. The average waiting period to get your hands on Green Bay Packer tickets at Lambeau Field is approximately 35 years. (There are more people on the waiting list than seats in the stadium).

5. Subsequently, the Packers have one of the largest fan bases in the NFL, probably the largest but Steelers fans will argue.

6. Each year the Green Bay Packers play an intra-squad scrimmage at Lambeau Field called "Family Night."

7. The Packer foundation has put limitations on the use of similar logo looks as their "G" mark is trademarked though it's been altered several times since 1961.

8. The Packers have played their home games at the famous Lambeau Field since 1957 and it is the longest continuously used stadium in the league's history.

9. When Lambeau Field was built (after the City Stadium became too small), it became the first stadium that was built exclusively for an NFL team.

10. The Green Bay Packers remain one of the last "small town teams" and they are the only non-profit, community owned major league sports team in the US to this day.




It would be great if this amazing team came out with an official NFL, Packer car. Why not hey? It could be a BMW only not with the BMW Emblem but with the infamous "G." It may seem like a stretch but perhaps the team's superstars could sport around in them. Or maybe during the Macy's holiday parades or Green Bay's Packer party parade, who knows?! As the greatest team in the NFL, these guys can pull off plenty of wild stunts. I mean, the cheese head was supposed to offend us for heaven's safe. But what did we do? We embraced it!

The Reverse - Not a Miracle Football Play For Most Youth Football Teams

Miracle Football Plays- The Reverse is No Magic Bullet

Most of us think of reverse plays as ones where the flow moves to the outside in one direction then a handoff occurs to a wing, slot or end going in the opposite direction of the initial flow. These long developing reverse or end-around plays work well against poorly disciplined youth football teams. At the very youngest of ages like 6-7 where most of the teams and players are undisciplined, they often work against everyone. But the rule of thumb is the better coached the team you are playing is, the less likely the reverse will work. If your opponent has blazing speed and your team is slow, there is little chance that the reverse will be anything but a negative yardage play, as the defense has the speed to overcome an initial misstep.

In the last 6 seasons the teams that have played us and run reverse plays have had just one go for more than 10 yards and none went for touchdowns. I would guess 80% of the reverse plays run against my defense go for negative yardage. Our defense is designed to shut down sweeps and reverses and we only put our most patient and disciplined players at defensive end and of course we “fit and freeze” rep the heck out of reverses and bootlegs.

Before you call a reverse play in youth football, you must determine if the team you are playing is disciplined or not, if they are, the reverse is a terrible play call. You have to scout the defensive end and corner on the backside of your lead sweep plays to determine that. Why anyone would have bothered trying to run a reverse against us is beyond me, because if they had been watching those keys, they would have seen the play had no chance.

In Youth Football many of these reverse type plays are also run “naked”, they have no lead blockers and rely on all 11 defenders being fooled on the play in order for it to work. When just one player is not fooled, the play goes for negative yardage and if your ballcarrier fumbles in space behind the line of scrimmage there is the chance for a big play by the defense. The reverse plays in our playbook are very quick hitters, they are run very close to the line of scrimmage and have 3 lead blockers. We often average over 15 yards per carry with this play and rarely have negative yardage plays.

In order for this play to consistently work for us, we only have to fool 3-4 defenders as we pull linemen and have a lead running back blocking to gain numbers advantages at the point of attack. The flow looks like a sweep to the opposite side, the playside looks like a power play with 3 lead blockers. Back when I played youth football 100 years ago, we ran a wing reverse that we even trap blocked, it was a backbreaker. A trap scheme for reverses works well, but the worst designed and performing reverse plays are naked ones.

Many youth football coaches go to the reverse too early. The complementary play has to be set up and run a bunch to make sure the flow is going away from the reverse. In one memorable game a “Select” team ran the reverse 7 times against us. The first one was run on just the 3rd snap of the game, for negative yardage. Of the other 6, only one went for positive yardage and even that one went for a very small gain. My guess is this very successful youth football team was used to this play working and rather than checking their keys, they just figured it would work against any defense.

Another reason many reverse football plays go for negative yardage is the depth of the play from the handoff of the running back to the ballcarrier is often 5-6-7-8 yards deep and most use an outside handoff. When the reverse back has to run at an angle that is behind the player he is receiving the handoff from, he naturally has to bow deep to get the handoff and continues along that path deeper into the backfield before he can turn the play up. The deeper he gets, the more chance you have of a big negative yardage play. In Youth Football, we prefer an inside handoff on reverse plays to get the runner moving towards the line of scrimmage and keeping him shallow. This lowers the risk of the play and gets the runner upfield much quicker.

In Youth Football the reverse can be a very dangerous play for the defense, but when run incorrectly, too often, too deep, or naked, it can be a very dangerous play for the offense as well.

Great NFL Fantasy Football Action - How to Pick Your Team

So you're now the manager of your own football team in the National Football League. You are the owner and the manager at the same time so you have twice the responsibility to maintain a winning or at least a competitive team. Even if all of this is just NFL Fantasy Football, the thrill, excitement and the satisfaction is equally the same as that of the big league. And all good team managers know what is the most important: having the best players to start with.

While it is not the end of the world if your NFL Fantasy Football team ends up with not that great a lineup. You will never know what can happen in a season. All teams can be plagued by injuries, close calls or simply have a less than lucky season. The point is, it is not impossible for your team to have a great season even if you start with less impressive players for your NFL Fantasy Football team.

How To Pick Your Team

There are a lot of things that you should consider when you're picking for players in your NFL Fantasy Football team. Research is the key term here and you have to understand what your team and players have gone through in the previous season. You will have to know your team played well the last time, if they were winning, then by how much? Who were the key players in your team and who were the ones that stepped up their game. Stats are all that important in creating the best NFL Fantasy Football team.

Do not just focus on the major players. You must also take into consideration players that fared well last season. A good team manager always has eyes for a new and shining star. You can find some great steals for players that may not be as popular as the major players, but they're impressive just the same. You'll just have to take a look at their stats and you can probably spot a trend.

Equally important with statistics are injuries. Did any of your players of choice got injured? Obviously this is vital information because unhealthy players, especially those who underwent serious injuries the previous season, may have a slow start the next season and perhaps, not contribute at all. Understanding the health conditions of all players should be at the top of the to-do list of any good team manager.

Every fantasy league has a draft, but before you participate you must already have a well-researched list of players you would want to draft for your NFL Fantasy Football team. The importance of having a prepared list for your team comes true here. If you have researched your picks well enough, then should you not be lucky enough to get your top choices, then your second picks should be composed of almost equally impressive players. Players that can contribute great performances for your team.

These are the main points on how to pick your NFL Fantasy Football team. It's a combination of having great information for your team (stats), understanding each players (know if they had a good season or if they had injuries), and having a well-prepared and well-researched roster of players that you would want playing for you.
