[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 462477, member: 1668"] ok.... so our 3-4 installed by new DC Woody has been so great we are not having any issues and we all think Al Groh was stupid.... Whatever....My point is that the 3-4 did not work once, it may not work again... It currently does not work right now... That is why we went to a 4-3 becuase playing 3-4 is more difficult.... We can agree to disagree... However we went to a Peach Bowl and 2 OB playing 4-3.... Our best season playing a 3-4 was B2B Sun Bowl years... I will take Multiple Orange Bowls and Peach Bowl over the Sun Bowl years.... But shoot CPJ may change DC before he leave anyways...stay tuned.. as the issue is not so much scheme as it is lack of talent... We need better athletes, bottomline! I understand that you think Georgia Tech frequently blocks below the waist on the interior only, making up for its size disadvantage by cutting down bigger foes and freeing up space for its quick-hitting running game. Those blocks remain legal. I think you think the Yellow Jackets were already instructing players not to go low downfield. (NOT TRUE) so this new rule doesn't matter... However it does... Take a look at these three Coaches response to the rule change... Look at the record of those teams... Not being able to go low downfield has hurt Tech football and teams like Army and Navy. Coach Paul Johnson on rule change: [URL]https://www.myajc.com/sports/college/paul-johnson-questions-cut-blocking-rule-change/H2nG6lP7xEILZVppoMCI5I/[/URL] “Either blocking below the waist is dangerous or it’s not,” Johnson said. “It’s not anymore dangerous five yards down the field than it is on the line of scrimmage. If it’s that scary, they ought to not tackle below the waist.” Jeff Monken [URL]http://blogs.hudsonvalley.com/west-point-army-football/2018/09/04/monken-sounds-off-on-cut-blocking-rule-change/[/URL] “There’s a lot of people out there trying to get rid of blocking below the waist because they want to make it into a big man’s game and frankly, I don’t think they want to face this offense,” Monken said. “I think they would like to see it just eliminate this offense altogether.
