FlexBone Play Action Shot Play
As FirstDown PlayBook continues to build your new “Find a PlayBook” section for 2023, we will keep providing you with bits of content, like this FlexBone play action pass. We have mentioned that one of the areas we will be adding will be a Spread Wing T PlayBook area.
As we do this we will be looking at updating other ways to update existing areas like our FlexBone. All of these coaching systems are related either remotely or closely. So stay tuned and for now enjoy this FlexBone shot play that we drew up a few years ago for the Army Navy game!
