I lean towards simplification and not overdoing the mechanics as well as striving for consistency across our community.

I've often wondered why the mechanics are different between high school and college with the exception of those mandated by the NCAA vs. FED codes (e.g. 4th down fumble rule). Certainly, 6 or 7 man mechanics vs. 4 or 5 man mechanics play a role, but when I read through the above threads and see how many mechanics some of you use, my hat is off to you (even though I personally think it's way too many). Heck, I have a tough time counting the players when I'm working the flanks!

Pretty soon there will be a mechanic for a wing back that starts in motion, then resets for one second, and then goes in motion the other direction, and then resets, and then motion again. It will be the index finger moved quickly up and down across the lips while you make a mumbling sound!

While we're at it, how about other "NEW" mechanics to add to the arsenal. We might as well have some fun with this.
