[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 45422, member: 639"] The more I think about this, the mid-line seems like a great counter punch to this kind of defensive play. You would just read at the MESH like a cross charge on the TO. The normal read is the DT but the blitzer is right next to him. If the read is keep, have the BB smash the blitzer with a full head of steam. Then you still have the motion AB leading the charge into the play side gap. Maybe that is why it was such a successful play in the spring game. In any case, I think Vasmos is right. The actual fumble play in the VT game was as much about lack of protecting the football as it was bad blocking. I think we will handle this much better in the future. In the spring game, the wet ball slowed down every center exchange with the QB being extra careful just to hang on to the ball. The timing of many a play was thrown off by this. In a more general sense, I want us to become a much better team at disguising, not only snap counts, but our intentions on an offensive play. There is little doubt in my mind, from watching a lot of tape of last season, that some (more well coached) defenses are tipped off by some of our body language and cadences. I don't know exactly what these tip offs are, but I am convinced they are there and readable to teams who know what they are looking for. It could be the timing of motion ABs, it could be where OLs are looking or leaning trying to get a jump, given their wide splits and the ground they have to cover. We need to regain some deception. At times it felt like we were trying to play baseball when the other team has stolen the signs. If our kids know what these tip offs are, they can disguise them better and keep Ds honest. [/QUOTE]
