[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 831530, member: 282"] This is in another thread, but it’s good for this thread too: Post in thread 'What can our secondary do to improve?' [URL]https://gtswarm.com/threads/what-can-our-secondary-do-to-improve.24027/post-831440[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2021/10/11/22720146/georgia-tech-football-advanced-stats-review-gt-vs-duke[/URL] My answers aren’t going to line up completely with his. The ideas he has for more power running and more outside zone make sense to me. We need to shore up our offensive blocking. It’s job #1 right now. There have been some injuries and other factors, but we have to work around those issues with what we have, and who is healthy. I think different formations and different personnel can help. I’ll link these personnel packages here ([URL]https://insidethe49.com/football-101/offensive-personnel-packages-nfl/[/URL]). I think I’ve seen us use 21 (2 RBs and 1 TE) and 20 (2 RBs and no TE) a couple of times. We go 00 (empty backfield, no TEs) enough for me to notice. We go the occasional 01 (1 TE, empty backfield). We’ve used TEs for pass pro, and that hasn’t gone really well—they haven’t been our best blockers. I’d lean more towards 2x packages, because our RBs are pretty good blockers and great pressure relief valves. I’d run 20 personnel a lot of the time, and I’d run 21 or 22 in short yardage.
