There are a lot of ways to go about reading routes in play design as well. Triangles, pure progressions, inside-out, outside-in, high-to-low, low-to-high, etc.

Tom Brady was once a 7th stringer at University of Michigan. He was depressed, doubting himself, and contemplating moving home. He now has the more Super Bowl rings than any franchise in NFL history. To the backups, to the self-doubters, to the homesick, it can get better.

Conversations about “our kids can’t do that,” should primarily only be made regarding the time intensiveness of an install. Ex: Your kids can probably run Cover 7, but you have to decide if it’s worth the install and rep time. That’s where I’ve become more “minimalist.”
