zach isn’t picking up pressure. wrs aren’t attacking the ball. Zach doesn’t have the touch or release today. wrs aren’t coming back to balls. And we aren’t running. The offence is cooked.

that reese drop back play brings great dividends

ping pong bounce day

won’t get dpi calls when you go alligator arms he threw demski into coverage lol

looks closer than the play the riders challenged lol

brutal bounce. they might be a penalty for spearing. also maybe dpi

yep, since he got knocked up he’s gotten caught up in dancing around too much

exactly.

that’s some old school hall front stuff. a lot of 3-9 to start

hold around the neck against willy i think

booth got it right for once

db is allowed to maintain his position he doesn’t need to get out of the way of a completion

wasn’t a first but close enough it doesn’t matter easily half a yard short at best great cover by texada

boy that wind is strong. Mci with a great shed and tackle. That kid is soo talented. We have to find ways to involve him more.

double down on vaval

100%. Basically, they are being left to make too many decisions too late. Especially in the Cover 2 scheme, we've used entirely too much, with 2 canadian Ss. The field is too wide, and the deep cover guys are horribly unreliable. Which means handoffs and pickups are a severe struggle, and the two Ss have to wait till much later to pick a side or risk leaving another opening. Cover 3, 4, and 5 have been the meat and potatoes of match zone and split field zone for as long as those have been used up here. We have reinvented the wheel and replaced it with a square. We even saw JY go back to the cover 9 drop 3 we ran a few years ago, but even that didn't accomplish any thing.

Idk about the D. The Lber DIs are basically for teams. Woodbey is cooked, we don't have the proper DI DB that is reliable any more, its all a mess. The O is a worse mess though for sure.

Yeah, not even close to 100%. He isn't in the late stages of Nichols, but he makes decisions as if he can still go crazy legs, and he can't. Elsbury is such a disappointment. He's a true rookie, so that is tough, but he shouldn't be starting at all. Its not easy, but you don't see imp interior OL that often either. This is as bad as our OL has played since the first year bob took over coaching it.

That decision should've happened in the LDC too. But Mos will not do that unless zach is really hurt. Part of the problem is our "max protect" install is worse than our 5-man + Brady. Part of that is running fewer/lower quality back up OL, part of that is not even using the guys we have well. Put Eli, MCI, and Clercius out with Brady. You can go 21, or 12 formation and put Clercius in a tight slot to make trips. Force the D to iso a guy, or give you a lopsided protection edge. You really need to be successful running out of that, though, because we don't have guys who can win 1on1 battles in the wr core. Instead, we default primarily to a 6 wr empty backfield set with Brady doing little more than playing a distraction. And Ds are not biting on Brady lined up wide out anymore. I mean, with all the empty backfield we run, why haven't we run a quick screen game to Brady from the wide-out spot? You are pushing guys out of the box; put Brady 1-on-1 in space with a DB.

Blitz pick-up primarily goes to the QB, but also to the C, and the pressured gap blocker. Especially the vets we have; they should be doing a much better job of identifying and calling out pre-snap alignment. Everyone knows how Zach is with pressure; we've made the calls at the line in the past with some of the same guys. They know what needs to happen. A good chunk of blitz blame goes to Condell as well. Every week's install needs to have a few things, no matter who you play. One of the biggest needs each week is a package to counter pressure. The messed-up thing is that we have seen Condell do this very well with both Brown and Zach this year. One game each, he came ready with different fast-paced installs that beat pressure. The problem is, he packs his install with 1 concept. Fast 1-step drop with heavy pre-snap read requirements, or Quick screens and timing plays, etc. Instead of packing a Swiss Army knife each week, he packs 1 tool and uses it like a hammer. If it doesn't work, we are cooked. His offence doesn't even set up anything off that 1 basic concept. We could've used wheel routes and pump-and-goes and so much more in the two weeks we had success beating pressure with execution speed. That is how you really put teams away too. You beat a team with a concept a bit, then you counterpunch as soon as they show signs of adjusting and wallop them. We used to see the play-action half roll screen option with jet/meteor sweep. Sometimes we slid protection and moved the pocket to disrupt the rush; sometimes it was a full bootleg, but it was always the crosser, the deep comeback, the quick dump-off to the jet guy in front, or the check down to the RB coming up from behind. It was bread and butter around here from late Lapo through Buck and Hogan. We've only seen it a couple of times this year, but it has worked well when we did it. Zach is extremely comfortable doing it, and it puts the D in a bind with who they cover. We aren't gonna change Zach. And we aren't going to fix our OL mid-season. We need to run the offensive installs around those facts and build in extra padding for those thin areas. I fear we also aren't going to change Condell at this point. The only chance at building anything sustained with the offense is if control is taken from TC. Bring in someone, maybe Lapo, give play-calling duties over to Hogan, or my first choice, let Zach call the O.

I don't think that is a blameworthy decision. I do think going for it gives you the best chance of winning, but that is also hotly contested. For me, complete 1 offensive play of 5 yards, or hope your D can stop a td and or 2 point, then have the O drive for a major and/or score a 2-point. Possibly having to repeat that many times. I think going for it gives you the best chance of winning, but playing for OT gives you multiple chances to win. After watching this team underachieve consistently over the past 2-ish years, I would not bet on the O and D coming together at just the right time and doing everything it takes to win the shootout.

I heard brown asked some hard questions to mos in the post game but i didn’t listen my self

Bravo lol The wrs couldn't stay healthy, pencer was a raw gamble at best, and faith was a college over achiever who under achieved as a pro. But also couldn't get snaps on a really good dl. Daniels, doesn't even look like a football player. He looks like the big kid in school that every coach recruits and is then frustrated beyond belief by. The real problem is that pass catching is Daniels only strength lol. Clercius is better at every thing than daniels, including blocking. MCI too. And both guys are drastically more athletic. Every snap Daniels takes that MCI doesn't, makes us significantly worse. Brown looked awful as a rookie, and schmekel took longer. But brown had some tools, and schmekel had a great motor. Daniels has Schmekel level athleticism, with out the motor.

Worth grabbing, our global depth is pitiful.

he doesn’t have the zip any more, and he also doesn’t have the wheels to go crazy legs collaros any more. That was always his bread and butter, arm strength to over come aggression/pocket pressure, and ability to get clear of good pressure. He is also seemingly chronically sore/hurt leaving him slow to get up and frankly ornery towards every thing but success.
