Same terminology I was taught 4 years ago.

I was making a little joke about Louisiana 3-man mechanics which, until very recently, was firmly rooted in the mid-1990s. I figured it would go over a few heads.

Better than Connecticut. Our present two person mechanics are firmly rooted in the mid-1890's. And that's no joke.

I have always heard the term flex used to describe those situations where the C forces the rotation, rather than rotation being initiated by the L. You know, the high trap on C's sideline and C has to go up and take that, so the L rotates over.

Maybe the person should have asked, "What do you mean by flexing?"

That might have helped them know what this person was talking about. And it would have made sure that either he/she know to not flex or say, "Why would we not flex?"

Problem solved instead of getting upset by the answers you get here on this board where people have to read the mind of a partner we have never met (yes there is an inside joke here).

I'm still making up my own mind about this. I'm not sure that for those of us who do 90%+ 2 man, that when we do the occasional 3 man, the old system may be a better system.

The more you do, the more ways you have to screw it up.

Forgive me but what is the "old way?"
