Fumbles we will send the guilty party to do 10 pushups, or short jog to the baseball field, which is about 200 yards away or so.   Dropped pass in practice 10 pushups.   

Jump off sides we typically give a verbal warning, happens again during team offense session, then offense will do some Up Downs. 

Team Sled however, different story:  If the team doesn't all clap, if one of the bags is unmanned, when they run up to the drill, or if anyone jumps off side will be team up downs.    

If the player rolls the wrong way exiting the 5 man sled or "holds" the bag, they will have to do 10 up downs to the side individually.   

we believe in team sled for 2 purposes, pad levels but mostly for team discipline, we rely on discipline to run our system and this is vital part of it.  

Agree with this coach.  Certain situations or circumstances dictate whether it is individual or team disciplinary action.

Get outta here with that noise.  When Forrest is in the game clearly they're gonna run outside.  As a DC, I love when teams use personnel that way - gives the play away before it even starts.  

He runs in a 90 degree angles like Tecmo Super Bowl.  

Yes, but it is very deceiving as he lures the defender into a sure tackle only to cut at the last second and run him into another defender.

Knowing whats coming and stopping it are 2 different things.

Don't forget about Forrest's open field cuts to take away tackling and pursuit angles.

Is it really an issue of number of players or $$$ to get it going and sustain?  Still would need facilities, equipment, game officials, etc. no matter how many players are on the field.
