Every day has a log-sheet that contains the plays we’ll run that day, in the order we’ll run them. It also has the defensive front, coverage, down and distance, hash-mark, and blitzes, which helps practice move along smoothly. No alarms and no surprises, please. It’s mostly for the coaches. Helps them feel like they’re in control of the product. Inevitably, that all falls to shit on game day. That’s when you need the players to take over. To this day no coach has successfully scripted a football game.
