I am an I Formation Team. I teach the I and we work it until we get it right. I dont change or add anything until we establish what works for the kids at hand. I know the plays work they are time tested and proven commodities. The problem with changing things are as follows:
A) You haven't spent near enough time for the new material to get established.
B) Because you need to spend time on the changes, the old material gets rusty.
C) Conflicting blocking schemes confuse both you and the kids.
There are of course more reasons but you get the drift. I know folks run "Multiple systems", I know it can be done but, I am a died in the wool believer that you have a core philosophy. You have to understand how to make the plays work and what plays should work against certain opponents (defenses). Otherwise, your just running plays and hoping something works. Each offensive "system" has plays that work against every defense. I also know that if you dont execute well, it doesnt matter what system or plays you run, they aren't going to work.
I have struggled mightily this season to get my kids to FOCUS for more than one play or one series. As such I know its execution that is killing us, not the system. I say keep working what you know and its up to them to execute.
