My thoughts on what to do with the articles involved with WikiProject American football:


 * American football Obvious keep, but clean up to conform to Manual of Style. Also, refrain from having duplicate information here and on whatever "American football strategy" article develops and its "daughter articles."
 * Ace formation Merge with "offensive philosophy" article in a section of the article titled "formations" 
 * American football defensive schemes Merge with new article "Defensive Philosophy (American football)" 
 * American football plays '''Merge with "Offensive philosophy"
 * American football positions Parent category for ALL positions which will be merged HERE.
 * American football rules Improve and extend.
 * American football strategy '''Tighten article and include links to "daughter articles" (which should be much fewer in number once we are done.
