Jugs Field General Football Machine

The Field General is the Jugs football machine you can take to the field that has no outlet on it. Jugs publishes two facts that no other machine in this group carries together: it weighs less than 95 pounds and comes with its own transport wheel, and it now has both AC and DC capabilities. The DC line is the one that changes a practice plan. A machine that runs off a battery is a machine that works on a back field, a middle-school practice field or a grass strip behind the gym, and Jugs currently includes a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station free with a Field General purchase to make that possible out of the box.

What it throws is a regulation size football, at 20-60 mph, accurately from 5 to 60 yards, driven by a single 1/4 HP motor. Jugs states the Field General hits receivers in stride running any route in your playbook, and that it simulates punts with a hang time of over 5 seconds, which is what puts both the punt team and the punt return team on the field at once. The fourth thing Jugs says about it is the reason most programs buy one: run drills with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. Leather footballs are recommended. Jugs does not publish overall dimensions, a hopper capacity or a feed rate for the Field General.

Inside the Field General

Four Things Jugs Publishes About This Machine

Two Jugs football machines exist. The Field General is the lighter one, and the one whose page is built around getting it to a field and keeping it running there.

🔋

AC and DC, With the Battery in the Box

Jugs states the Field General now comes with both AC and DC capabilities, and currently includes a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station free with purchase. Jugs publishes the station's figures: 13 lbs., and 3 to 5 hours of use. Read those two numbers next to the machine's own weight and the picture is clear. A coach carries a 13 lb battery and wheels an under-95-pound machine, and the practice runs for three to five hours with no cord and no generator. This is the single biggest change to the Field General, and it is worth checking that any Field General you buy elsewhere ships with the power station, because it is a current promotion and not a permanent part of the specification.

3 to 5 hours per charge

Under 95 Pounds on Its Own Wheel

Jugs publishes the Field General at less than 95 pounds and states it comes with its own transport wheel. That combination is the machine's argument. The other Jugs football machine weighs 130 lbs. Thirty-five pounds is the difference between a coach moving a machine across a field alone and a coach finding somebody to help, and the transport wheel is what turns the weight into a roll.

Less than 95 pounds

⏱

Punts With Over 5 Seconds of Hang Time

Jugs states the Field General simulates punts with a hang time of over 5 seconds, and that this allows drills including both punt and punt return teams. Five seconds is the window a coverage unit actually gets, so a returner working under a machine ball is fielding the same flight time he will get in a game. Both units work at once because the machine supplies the punt, which means neither one is standing around waiting on a punter's leg.

Drills That Need No Quarterback

Jugs states the Field General throws accurately from 5 to 60 yards, hitting receivers in stride running any route in your playbook, and that it offers optimum efficiency for practice: run drills with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. A single 1/4 HP motor drives it across a 20-60 mph range. The practical result is a receiver group that can run a full route tree while the quarterbacks are on a different field working with the offense.

Three Reasons a Program Buys the Field General

Portability

Ninety-Five Pounds and a Wheel

Jugs publishes the Field General at less than 95 pounds with its own transport wheel, and lists lightweight and portable as one of the machine's four headline features. The weight is the reason a Field General gets used more than a heavier machine gets used. A machine that takes two people and a plan to move ends up staying wherever it was last set down, and a machine that one coach can tip and roll goes wherever the drill is. The wheel is part of the machine, so there is no cart to buy and nothing extra to store.

Power

AC, DC and a Free Power Station

Jugs states the Field General now has both AC and DC capabilities, and is currently including a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station free with purchase. Jugs publishes the station at 13 lbs. and 3 to 5 hours of use. Those two figures decide whether a machine gets used on the fields a program actually practices on. High school and youth programs rarely get the field with the outlet, and until DC arrived, a football machine on a back field meant running a generator or running a cord across grass. Treat the free power station as a current inclusion and confirm it is in the shipment.

Special teams

Five Seconds in the Air

Jugs states the Field General simulates punts with a hang time of over 5 seconds, which allows drills that include both punt and punt return teams. That number is what makes the drill honest. A coverage unit that releases under a ball with four seconds of hang gets down the field on a different schedule than one working against five, and a returner reading a real flight time learns to set his feet. Because the machine supplies every punt, the punter is not on the field taking forty reps for a special teams period that is about somebody else. Jugs also calls the machine out for long-snapping work.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

20-60 mph. Speed is set on the dial, and a single 1/4 HP motor drives the machine across that range. The Jugs Football Passing Machine, the other football machine in this group, runs 20-70 mph.

Jugs publishes 5 to 60 yards, and states the Field General throws accurately across that span, hitting receivers in stride running any route in your playbook. Five yards at the short end means it also covers flat routes, check-downs and hands work, not only deep balls.

Jugs publishes less than 95 pounds, and states the machine comes with its own transport wheel. Nothing extra is needed to move it. That makes it the lighter of the two Jugs football machines by about 35 pounds.

Jugs states the machine now has both AC and DC capabilities. DC is the new part: the Field General no longer needs a wall outlet or a generator to run a session. Jugs is currently including a Bluetti Premium 30 Portable Power Station free with purchase to supply that DC power.

It is a portable power station. Jugs publishes it at 13 lbs. and states it provides 3 to 5 hours of use. Jugs currently lists it as free with a Field General purchase. Because that is a current offer and not a permanent part of the machine specification, confirm it is on your order before you buy.

Yes. Jugs states the Field General simulates punts with a hang time of over 5 seconds, which allows drills that include both punt and punt return teams at the same time. Jugs also names it for long-snapping work.

Jugs specifies regulation size footballs and states that leather footballs are recommended. No other ball type is named on the manufacturer's page for this machine.

No. Jugs lists this as one of the machine's four features: it offers optimum efficiency for practice, so you can run drills with any team without relying on quarterbacks or kickers. A receiver group can run a full route tree while the quarterbacks work elsewhere.

Jugs does not publish a feed rate or a hopper capacity for the Field General, and lists no automatic feeder attachment for it. Balls are loaded by hand. If you have seen a passes-per-hour figure quoted for a Jugs football machine, it does not appear on the manufacturer's current pages.

Jugs does not publish overall dimensions, a folded size or a doorway clearance for the Field General. The published physical figures are the weight, less than 95 pounds, and the transport wheel.

The split is reach against weight. The Field General throws 20-60 mph from 5 to 60 yards at less than 95 pounds with its own transport wheel, and Jugs frames it around passes and punts. The Football Passing Machine throws 20-70 mph from 5 to 80 yards at 130 lbs., and its page adds two things the Field General page does not: kickoffs, and a published choice between spirals and end-over-end kicks. Buy the Field General if the machine has to move; buy the Passing Machine if you need the extra 20 yards and the ball-flight selection.
