Upcharge?

That was a midline

I know, but the DT was upcharging so much it may have affected TM’s decision making to the point he was gonna take it upon himself to gamble and decide to give no matter what.

The first was a midline... thanks @steebu

Frankly, I was shocked you missed that LD with the way the a back cut up field into the a gap. I still think he determined that give pre-snap. There just wasn’t any time to make a read.

@dressedcheeseside @steebu did you notice the counter option wrinkle that CPJ ran as a designed QB keeper? to the inside of the DE...

 

[dressedcheeseside]

No, do you have a clip of it or a timestamp?

I certainly agree. At least in part. While the above slo-mo replays make it look like Taquon was reading the upcharges, in real time it was so fast — in milliseconds — that the human computer mind-and-arm
/hand-muscle neuron link simply cannot execute the right give or keep decision in time.

This is why I continue to believe they—or, at least many of them, not all of them—were either predetermined give or predetermined keep plays, as called for by CPJ. It was a high-stakes chess match between CPJ and Miami DC Manny Diaz.

I do appreciate Longest Day’s posting of the slo-motion replays, as they are indeed enlightening and educational. I love to watch them! Thank you, Longest Day!

Yeah, it looked like counter option and TQM tucked it immediately after reverse-pivoting out. Interesting wrinkle, the neat thing about the offense is CPJ referred to it as a "packaged offense", meaning, he can literally mix and match different pieces together to make a whole new play to take advantage of what the defense is doing.

Absolutely.

Great thread, thank you for breaking these plays down.

Not bad for a boring high school offense that only has three plays.. :Sneaky:

Isn’t this the same play we saw for the first time with Justin Thomas? I think CPJ called it a QB counter and said it was actually Coach Cook’s idea to add it in the mix.

This is the first I saw this play... it is not the QB counter, but a counter option QB dive.

No, it's not the same play. This one is a QB keep off counter option action. You're thinking of a QB counter where both the backside G and T pull and lead for the QB. And it was CLO who implemented it against NC State a few years ago.

My mind is like a steel trap! (everything gets mangled)

Qua hit that guy square in the chest and lifted him off the ground. Knocked him back 2 yards

For his size QUA has become a really good blocker, driving or cutting. ABs and BBs lately have done a good job blocking.

 

[Longestday]

Qua has been the best blocking Aback this year
