[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 829899, member: 1414"] [FONT=Calibri]I know, I know, you guys want to see the fancy stuff, RPO's, route combinations, SCHEMES. Well, tough titties. The game is won and lost at the Line of Scrimmage. We've talked about the run game that you guys use. Here's what you guys like to do in pass protection. Honestly, it's really not that different from the run game. You're either doing Man-to-man, or zone, or some combination thereof. You guy's pass protection (like everything else you do these days) is not exotic. You have "meat and potatoes" schemes AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Meat and potatoes are meat and potatoes because they work. As with the rest of this series, I'll show you a diagram, and then some examples of you guys using it with game footage. What I show you is going to cover the overwhelming majority of your plays. I fully expect this to be the least popular of this series, but it's arguably the most important if you want to know why you're winning or losing games. The first thing to understand is why on every play you see your center pointing. What he's doing is identifying the "Mike" (aka, the middle linebacker). What you need to understand is that the "Mike" might not be the Mike. Like, depending on alignment, he may be pointing to an outside linebacker, or even a nose tackle, or a walked up safety, or whatever. And he's going to go "43 is MIKE!!". [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
