Rewrite and Directions

edit

I've done a substantial rewrite here, looking for as many ways to attribute the old material, while getting rid of a lot of the waffling in the article. I'm not the prose stylist of the previous authors, but I know you can look up my facts.

Things I'd like to see but I can't find good attribution for:

1. the 4-4 stack. Seen a lot in junior football, as it's confusing and a great blitzing defense. I have no book style references for it. More variety in the 4-4 defenses in general would be good. Erk Russell's Junkyard Dog has hints of a 4-4 Split that doesn't look like Joe Roman's 44.

2. The 'G front' history. It's available in a series of intriguing links, such as this one:

but I'd like better sources to nail down this narrative. Dwmyers (talk) 20:34, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia's Coren SearchBot is incorrect about this page - the Web site that is cited took their text from the original Wikipedia article on this subject.Victoria1286 (talk) 16:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've left a note at your talkpage, but just wanted to clarify here as well that Wikipedia requires attribution of authors. Hence, we can't copy material from one article to another without indicating where it came from. See WP:Split for further details. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
