    I wanted to test the waters and see if anyone's interested in discussing interesting or creative play calls in football. Also a bit of theory crafting or hand wringing about how stuff would work in the CFL and why we don't see it.

    One of the big things I see in US football, that hasn't come up here despite massive potential is better-designed QB runs. Teams like the Ravens and Coastal Carolina do exciting stuff with QB runs. The ravens run some rpo, but fake the option a lot and use designed run calls out of the same package. Their O power and QB power are great examples. In a full option offense, this would be 1 place call. The QB would read a defender mostly the end and either keep it up behind the pulling guard or hand it off to the RB to run outside of the guards' block. The advantage they get from mixing in the separate calls is that they change the speed of the play drastically. The fake option can be run much faster and the defense can't re act to the fact the offense isn't reading a player. They have to try and cover all the option players gaps.

    Traditionally this type of play used to be run from a 2 back power set. But the ravens use it heavily out of 11 and 21 personnel in the shotgun. Alignment wise it's not that different from what we see up here every week with Woli/Demski/Bailey pinching on the end.


     

     

     

    Great thread here. I’m learning a ton. What exactly is a trap?

    Yeah I gotta say it is a little embarassing when you see our Oline giving the universal stfu signals.

    Loudest fans? Sure. Timing not always on point though.

    **** I I didn’t even see that. That’s dumb if they’re making noise on offence. I’ll watch for it next game!

    Have no idea why you wouldn't run Jefferson right up the middle on that last play.  They aren't throwing out wide.

    Interesting. Maybe didn’t want to take him out if the play if screened over his head. Masoli has shown knack for that. How out wide was Jefferson tho?

    Jesus Christ I made one comment about the guy talking about SJ Green and now my Twitter mentions are going insane.

    Bomber Twitter is a scary, scary place. 

    I’ll just say it here for @Zach Schnitzer so my Twitter notifications can stop … your friends are not the reason players drop passes. Your friends are supporters, loyal passionate ones at that. But yikes at this “this individual fan is basically our 13th man” stuff … that’s the kind of glue the Rider fans sniff. 

    All good folks. I'm no pro, nor do I pretend to be. Just having fun on Youtube. Totally get it if it's not your thing and I would never measure myself against someone in mainstream media. That being said, I do believe that Don AKA Sign Guy was in part responsible for getting in SJ's head. We can't prove it was the straw there but I do believe he gets into guys' kitchens once in awhile. Do I think that has a significant impact on the game, day in and day out? No.

    They kept the American RB/Returner, right? It's as simple as Borsa for McRae, I would think. I'm wondering if Borsa just didn't accept a PR spot, because he knows he's got an offer elsewhere (Riders for sure would want him) 

    That’s my theory. I don’t think we retain his rights if he goes back to school but I’m checking on that.

    Even though they had an offensive game plan that didn't even try and win the game? They bet that entire game on Andrew Harris carrying the day and the stamps D said no. 

    I think that game plan was based on Harris yes, and they also know Matty could not kill ‘em on off script plays. So they loaded the box, tackled well, and dared Matt to beat ‘em with his arm and he couldn’t.
