Lacrosse, defensive heads?
464853
the best head for a defesive player would be somethin that isnt pinched at all because it is much harder to catch and pick up a ground ball a pinched head at the end of a d-pole. something like the edge or proton would be good

-Lacrosse is a team sport that is played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (the crosse) in order to pass and catch a very hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals, each worth one point, by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most points after four "quarters", of varying length from competition to competition, and overtime if necessary, wins\n\n\n\n-Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players each competing to project a small ball of solid rubber into the opposing team's goal. The field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (54 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet and contain a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey goal. The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter.\n\nPlayers line up with 3 offensive players called "attackmen"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net), 3 "midfielders" or "middies"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net and also defend their own net), 3 "defensemen"(The players who guard their own team's net), and 1 designated goaltender, or "goalie"(The player that stands inside the "crease" and blocks shots from coming in, like in hockey). Each player carries a stick (the French settlers, upon seeing the Native Americans using the stick, called it la cross (the crosier); hence the cool name "Lacrosse"). Lacrosse sticks may measure between 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and 42 inches (106.68 centimeters) long (a "short crosse"), or 52 inches (132.08 centimeters) to 72 (182.88 centimeters) long (a "long crosse"). The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) to 72 inches (182.88 centimeters) long. The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be larger than 6 inches at its widest point and it must also be 2.5 inches wide or wider at its narrowest point. The head of a goaltender's crosse may measure up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) wide. Although most of the time attackmen and midfielders use short crosses, defensemen, along with one midfielder when his team is on defense, carry long crosses, some teams choose to distribute their sticks differently; this is not uncommon because a team may only have 4 long crosses on the field during live play, excluding the benches and penalty boxes. Most modern sticks have a metal shaft, made usually of aluminum or titanium, while the head is made of hard plastic. Metal shafts must have a plastic or a more popular rubber cap or ("butt") at the end, and it must be adequately taped to avoid injury although some butts are capable of staying on without tape. The heads are strung with string and leather or mesh. This forms a net of whatever material was used in stringing the stick called the "pocket".[2]\n\nGoaltender's sticks vary in length but are typically between 42 inches (1.27 m) and 60 inches (1.52 m) long, and their heads are significantly larger than field players' heads to help in blocking shots. Goalies at the youth levels commonly use short crosses because they are not capable of handling the true goalie crosse.\n\nPlayers scoop the ball off the ground and pass the ball through the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the ball with their stick. Unlike in women's lacrosse, players may kick the ball, as well as covering it with their sticks, provided they do not withhold it from play. Play is typically quite fast. Considerably more goals are scored than in soccer or hockey, with typical games totaling ten to twenty goals.

The best way is to look at the target, usually the stomach or lower.  Slide your head to one side an instant before hitting the target.  (If you don't it is a spearing penalty and more important leaves you open to serious neck injuries.)  Watch for the play to redirect you with his hands.  \n\nRemember that football is about leverage not size.  If you are lower you will move the other person.

This depends on your style and position to play....\n\nTypically offensive players play with shorter sticks (cut to their upper chest) since this allows them to bring the puck into their body when going around players.\n\nDefencemen like their sticks a bit longer to poke check the puck away from opposing players.... I play D and I like to cut it just below my chin... \n\nAgain cutting it at your nose is OK.... What I would do is start long and before you butt the stick try it out... If it feel confortable, at a certain length, then your done.... If not cut it a bit shorter....

in the nfl, this is a tricky one.  The trap requires a "down block" by the lineman that sets the hole and a "kick-out block/ hook block" by the pulling lineman.  As long as both blocks are made legally (no chop, holding, etc.) the trap is a legal play.  to further specify a chop block is when an engaged defensive player (already being blocked) is hit below the waist by another blocker... the old high/low!

With lacrosse the way I improved my coordination was playing wall-ball.\n\nI would spend hours and hours throwing against a brick wall, but when you do it don't be flat footed, keep moving your feet, and use both hands, even if you are terrible.\n\nIf you do it long enough you do get much better.\n\nI would also take my stick and ball out when i went for jogs around the local park and would cradle the whole way, changing hands, and throwing ball out in front and charge for the ground ball.\n\nIt works really well.\n\nWhen playing wall-ball mix it up a bit as well. Play long balls (not near any glass windows, I learnt that the hard way) some days and short balls on others.

The veer is one of the nastiest plays to defend against because of the possibilities. However if you can stop it if you have fast lineman and your linebackers can make good quick tackles. Then its a matter of persuing them and having the far side end contain incase of a possible reverse (very unlikely but you never know) and the rest of the lineman shift down teh line to prevent a cut back, then teh lineback must stay in between the quarterback and the running backs running lane because this will force the quarterback to make a desicion to dump it off of keep it. However, because the defensive line is sliding down the line, the lineback can cheat a bit towards the running back because if the quarterback keeps it then the line will get him. If he dumps it off, the linebacker will be there to tackle him right away. They only flaw in this would be if the linebacker reads the play wrong and thinks the quarterback is just keeping it leaving the running back wide open.

It comes down to how much curl there is happening. Players know that the rock curls most for a guard, and the least for a peel. So, they judge how close it is to hitting the rock or going in the right place. So if they want it to stay straight or speed up, they call for them to sweep, and if they don't, then they hold them off.

They don't for a couple of reasons.\n\n1. It's "cool" to have as little on your head as possible.  If you're a LW in the NHL and you have a full cage, players (and people) are gonna laugh at you.\n\n2. The aquarium tends to fog up, and the bird cage can hamper your vision.\n\nThey require a visor in international and Olympic play.  College players are required to have full face protection.\n\nBesides, have you seen the "playoff beards"?  I don't think these guys are worried about their appearance.

Control the defensvie playcalling, after the defensive line pushes the Guards and the Tackles off the play he goes in and gets the ball carrier. Depending on what kind of package they are in hell play zone coverage in the seam between the safties and the d-line or play man on a tightend or running back trying to sneak into the flat if they are running a pro set or some kind of spread offense that the defense wasnt ready for.

Lol, there isn't a position called "defensive guard." The Defensive Line consists of the following (and this really depends on the type of defensive scheme a team is running):\nNose Guard, who is normally the strongest of the defensive lineman (D-Line). He plays over the Offensive Center, and is primarily a run stopper. Great Nose Guards routinely take on two blocker's at one time because of their size and strength. Then you have two (dependent on the scheme again) Defensive Tackles. These guys play over the Offensive Guards and are pretty athletic. They are able to play against the run or pass quite effectively.  A good friend of mine and college team mate, John Randle made a good living up in Minnesota as a Defensive Tackle for the Vikings.  Lastly, you have two Defensive Ends. These guys are over sized Linebacker's usually(Big Reggie White was an exception).  They are the pass rusher's of the group. The line up over or on the Offensive Tackles and rush the Quarterback. Again, the best of best was the late great Reggie White.\nDefensive Lineman have the most physically challenging position on the football field. They routinely push, pull, and tug +350lb Offensive Lineman around the field for four hours. Can you imagine?\nI hope this answer's your question.
