Mike London failed for a number of reasons, but first and foremost because he failed to successfully recruit enough good linemen on both sides of the ball. People want to pretend that it's not true, but in 2019, football is still a game won by big strong men in the trenches. The glory boys...

So there are like 2 main ways to defend read option, "scrape exchange" and "squat and plug". (and of course new stuff is always being tried) The basic ideas is that as the defense, you choose what the read is going to be, so you might as well decide BEFOREHAND what the read is going to be, and...

Yeah but on the first play look how far he squeezes down. He's inside the BST. I think that's bad gap responsibility. The 2nd play he stays outside the BST, (and the QB) until after the handoff is made.

So then the LB's run fit is Right side A gap?

Also, when you run verts into cover 3, that should be a nice gainer every time. Agreed he's locked onto the seam WR.

Good post. I'm not sure I agree on the 2nd play. I think maybe that's a good give read. UNC's going with the "squat and plug" technique, and the read man keeps his shoulders and hips square until he's sure QB has gotten rid of the ball. I think RB's hole is the playside C-gap (although...

Pitt. I still have enough respect for Foster that I see him eating up a predictable offense, I think Miami is just too talented, and I think cutcliffe is among the best offensive coaches in America. Yes, I know Pitt just beat Duke, but the Transitive Property of Football has been disproved...

No it's not. That's the floor.

This will absolutely hurt the Georgia techs of the world. To make up for the difference in motivated fanbase willing to pay players off, you would need some sort of schematic advantage to offset the talent difference. Can anyone think of a good Option to do that?

The inside guy did a GREAT job of getting in the safety's eyes. Ran RIGHT at him, FORCED him to cover him. In a situation like that, where the the inside guy pulls the safety way flat, all the outside guy has to do is get his hips inside the corner and it's over. He can run a streak at that...

I think the back screwed up on power. I think the guard is the kicker here and the back is the wrapper leading through the hole.

This game will be telling. UNC is probably a middle of the road ACC team this year. If it's a competitive game, you guys could be better than we think. if you get smoked, it's a bad sign.

Just my opinion, but I'd push that optimism a year. Next year could be really rough, too.

Mmm, yeah, I can see that. I normally think of drive as shallower than that (the old Jerry Rice 5 yard special), but they both do come all the way across the formation like classic drive. Fair enough :)

I would actually call this close to a Mills concept, no? Hi-Lo on the FS?

And again on the trap, you're running it out of a pass look. PST's first step is a kick slide (sorta... it's CERTAINLY not a 45 degree run blocking step to engage the DE). This means that the stunt is WAY more effective than it otherwise would be, because BSG now has to hit a guy in space...

I think that first GIF is a perfect example of why the veer out of the gun is a WAY different animal than the veer out of the I (which is basically what PJ does). Note the angle of attack of EMOLS. He is able to gain 2/3 yards of depth to attack mesh, which leads to the QB having to take a...

Darren Waller is the 2nd leading receiver in the NFL :)

Forgive any typos, I'm driving, and that was speech to text.

Well, the thing is, it's entirely possible that Collins is, in fact, a clown. 4 years from now people could be saying "man, you could tell right away, he had no effing idea what he was doing, and he was all hat and no cattle from day one". That's possible. It's also possible that he is the...
