Never understand why we pass it 5 yards to someone that passes it right back.
I'll field that for you FL.
The theory and standard coaching on that (from an early age btw) is...
Can passes it 5 to Bobby. Oppo comes to mark Bobby only to be thwarted by the 5 pass back to Can. This may be repeated a few times in a short period of time. Next time...
Can passes it 5 to Bobby. Oppo doesn't get so tight because 'what's the point; right?'. Bobby now has the time and space to turn his man and attack.
Keep the opposition moving and guessing whilst retaining possession. Like I say; fairly standard stuff but if one hasn't played [been coached] I guess it does leave you scratching the head. 😎
