This is the most important concept in football...
Forward progress is perhaps the most important concept in football and also where our consistency has to shine forth on every down.
The California Official's Association (of which our local association here in Hawaii is an affiliate member) has some excellent training materials, one of which is an article authored by one of their members on the subject of forward progress. Perhaps the gentlemen from California will know which one I'm talking about.
In most running plays forward progress is the most forward spot of the ball in a runner's possession when the runner is held, grasped, etc. and otherwise controlled by defenders.
This is a good one to work on this week because we can think about it every down instead of just going through the motions. If we do this then the proper consistency will naturally follow.
