Examples

“Pherffer, Coache, and Steever occupied the back field on the scrub and did excellent work⟳. The coaches are determined not to let⟳ their team rest⟳ on their oars because of Saturday’s overwhelming victory, […]”

“HB TOSS & PASS⟳ This play⟳ is excellent if you need⟳ ten yards fast. The quarterback throws the ball to the halfback, who can then either throw⟳ or run⟳ with the ball. If the back field opens up it’s best to throw⟳; if the defence sits back go for the run⟳. […] SAFETY BLITZ This play⟳ is best used in a goal-line situation as it puts the offensive line under great pressure from the blitzing players. […] It also leaves one player in the back field just in case the offence tries a surprise⟳ pass⟳.”

“They don’t need⟳ their wingers up in defence, which means our kicking game isn’t working because there always seem to be three Scottish players in the back field covering. […] And when we drive⟳ forward⟳ so effectively, France have⟳ to put⟳ more and more forwards into the mauls to stop⟳ us. This means their backs have⟳ no inside support⟳ in defence, their wingers are forced to come⟳ up and help⟳ and it frees up the back field.”
