But I Don’t Want To Play “Soft” Football
There is a mis-conception out there that 7-on-7 that the IDFFL offers, might be “soft” football and not necessarily beneficial, however IDFFL president and founder Anthony Cannon, and league operations manager Farell Duclair have provided us with the expert opinions below:..
“Look at the NFL. It’s the way it’s spread out … I think the kids are getting developed better …..across the country right now because now football has taken on all the 7v7 [elements].” – Jimbo Fisher.
“I’ve watched the whole thing [7v7 football] change over time. The ability …… to be coached and work year-round, that’s so important….” – Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M Head Football Coach (from ESPN.com, 7/18/12).
The IDFFL can be found on FaceBook at: facebook.com/idffl and on Twitter at: @idffl .
“That’s part of the point of [7v7 football]. First off, you’re playing 12 months a year, which can only help. You’re learning route progressions and coverages. It really forces you to dissect the game and understand what the defense or offense is trying to do to you.” – Matt Stafford NFL QB (in an interview with Yahoo Sports, 4/24/12).
