[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 488119, member: 617"] Pretty good resource, if a little jargony for total newcomers. This is basically what I meant by "play the straight man" - I want to draw out a discussion of what was going on defensively and our playbook and our players strengths vs Miami's strengths. Football is both filled with jargon and history. As an example, my great uncle played for Bear Bryant and was given a scholarship because he could, in our terms, 'ride the mesh' extraordinarily well in the inside veer. There's a wall of history between me and him, but I would argue that history vindicates us, because he left the team when given the choice between being a player and being a student. Whether Dodd or CPJ, no Yellow Jacket makes that choice. But you can't understand the veer vs midline if you don't know 50+ years of football, and that leads to a lot of poor quality "but teh 'krootin!" analysis of our team. I'm just a EE, and I understand the Flexbone as a set of functions of mass, position, and time. What makes CPJ's midline "power" (two a backs leading the QB through the B gap, rather like the old Power I, as I understand it) is fundamentally foreign to me until I pick up a bunch of history. Defensive techniques seems like the world's worst system for describing vectors to me, and I survived EMAG. In this game, I'd hazard that Miami is an interesting case because the "B gap" is in fact rarely meaningful because the Miami middle linebacker is A. Moving at the snap to fill the gap B. Really, really fast at doing it and C. Probably a large enough mass with enough acceleration to defeat our QB. That's interesting to my mind! But even better, momentum is a thing! The very thing that negates the midline, or even the power veer, because good luck shifting that MLB momentum with our a backs or reading an inside veer pitch fast enough against that D, also means the Miami D has to fight it's own motion against our pass plays and something going on with delayed development QB stuff I'm not sure about because my TV stream was like 5 plays behind the GT calls and I gave up on the visual pretty early on. Anyhow, I'd actually like to know what was going on with the overcommitted Miami front, because I'm not quite good enough to say. I'd also like the discussion to be accessible to folks that haven't tried to dive in to X's and O's, because I think it's the only way to raise the level of discussion beyond "33 1/3rd star 'kroots only like touch football."
