[QUOTE="TheGridironGeek, post: 108311, member: 1898"] I'm a subscriber to the Lou Holtz motif for stopping the Flexbone. Run-blitz your *** off, because the only real way to stop it is to get negative plays or force penalties. Assignment discipline is important, but it's not the elixir. People who have been to seminars with CPJ will tell you, the Flex is absolutely NOT reliant on defenses making mistakes. The basic concept is "if this, then that" meaning if the defense tries X, the offense can counter with Y. There is no such thing as "perfect" defense since it has so much to do with athleticism anyway, and no offensive coach ever designed a game plan thinking [I]this will only work if the linebackers are stupid.[/I] The passing game is a part of the running game, and vice versa. So you do have to respect GT's entire playbook because they will burn you if you cheat, just like any other offense is designed to do. Even Navy couldn't move the ball on the ground if the forward pass was illegal for their QB. The one scrap of truth here is that some coaches do know how to defend the Flex better than others. But the balanced assessment is that having a flawed overall concept will get your 'D humiliated (i.e. Navy 52, Georgia Southern 19), while doing everything right gives you merely a fighting chance. The FSU fan in the OP is just using some good old anti-CPJ propaganda slogans to make himself believe FSU will shut down Tech. [/QUOTE]
