Film Room A Backs in the Spring Game

[Longestday]

Watch Lynch avoid a significant loss and then spin move to avoid a no gain. Also watch Andrews put a hand on one defensive player to push him off balance then turn to take on another.

Here is Ike (45) making a block for Andrews. Andrews tries a little shake but just does not have enough room to get buy.

The is a counter option. The MLB makes a very small step in the "wrong direction" (he does very well in diagnosing the play). The A Back blocks the pulling guard's target (DE) because the DE went very wide (The DE diagnosed the play well too). I would think the blocking A Back would tend block the CB on this play giving there is no WR on his side? Ike does a good job hitting the conner with speed and picks up some decent yards.

notice how RA picks up the blitzer? If he whiffs, that play is a loss of 5.

Also, look at the double team on Gotsis. How many of you think that would incorrectly be whistled against us for a chop block?

I really like how Marcus picked up the blitz.

Ike gets the Rocket Toss and does well. Andrews gets a helmet on his guy.

I love watching JT on a rocket toss. Cool guys don't look at explosions.

Notice the really good block by LT Klock on the DE and the very poor angle taken by the MLB after dodging a missed cut block. Shows that even a missed cut block can still take out a defender by distraction, if not by contact.

And Burden makes the LB look like a "dawg" like he did in Athens (gets him 10 yards off the LOS by chasing him 5 and then driving him 5). Also the WR crackback block threat intimidates a DB into dodging the block and not pursuing the ballcarrier. Good blocking and apparently the memory of past good blocking works.

Yeah, I've seen some comments in other threads confuse the point of the block from keeping the defender from the ball-carrier to getting the defender on the ground. If the defender avoids contact by moving away from the ball-carrier, he's still blocked.

Lance Austin (#17 up at nickel/OLB) could have shut this play down if he'd gotten out and set the edge.

I love watching our lineman roll around. It's pretty amusing how effective we are at sealing lanes for would be tacklers.

You are right. He was unblocked and dilly-dallied too long and lost outside position. These are the things film work and coaching can fix.

In my opinion, that's the defense the White Team faced will be the best option-defending defense they'll play all year.

The first vid could just as easily be a low light vid of Golden. Dude missed an open field tackle. He can't be doing that in season.

And that is precisely the pains of spring ball. Good move by Andrews or bad tackle by golden. I do know however that the worst effort/attempt at tackle was Chris Milton attempt at getting Andrews down on his td run. That was a joke.

Think Ike will be the #2 or #3 A back come Fall depending on Snoddy's status. He does not have blazing speed but is elusive and is a solid blocker. Continuing the Godhigh tradition.

Bad tackle by Golden

Always tough to post spring game video... if someone does something good then someone did not do something perfect.

I think dodging the defenders made for a very difficult angle.
