  1. I wouldn't even say the play call is cute...it is a simple play.... like Day 1 install simple and targeting our supposed best run blockers (Campbell and Jones). This should have been an easy conversion. In any instance, the #1 rule in blocking anyone, is nobody crosses your face. If AD or Helm would have literally took one step right, or, in Helm's case, stood still this play works.
  2. Not if we are playing anyone better than Rice. There literally isn't a faster path to the RB with the ball for that LB.
  3. Because a Rice player sucks and is slow to react isn't justification for a play design. Any competent LB in that position would be untouched to the ball carrier trough the B gap (a LB's dream) if the play was designed to go left. Again, that is one aspect of the play design, although a large one. We also would not be combo-ing on the backside (right-side) if this was designed to go left. And LOL to whoever mentioned the shadow on the far left side in the last screen shot. The ball has been snapped and that guy is not in the frame... he is irrelevant in the play. AD sucked on this play and made a poor/lazy effort. Helm also blocked air (Bank's back)... the fact is two players made lazy or bonehead plays on the backside of the play and the defender who should have had the lowest probability of making the play did, in fact, make the play.
  4. But its not as combo every coach in America would want because you would have an unblocked MLB (#11) crashing down
  5. On the left side our 1 on 1 is with an extra blocking surface and WR to help. I don't feel like that is a winning combo for us. Additionally, if it was to got to to the left somebody would be combo-ing to that LB #11.... no one is. And if the play was designed to go left... then AD definitively should have been getting a body on someone (Helm as well). You can clearly see the gap on the right between Sanders and the Campbell/Jones combo block. Brook's first steps create a left flow creating angles for the combo block(s) and an angle for the running lane in the C gap on the right side. We wouldn't combo the backside LB and leave the middle guy unblocked.... that is a waste of a body, especially in short yardage.
  6. AD need to take one step to the right at the snap and his "block" would have been sufficient. He is back side, and really only has a rule of not letting the end man cross his face. It was a piss poor effort. Helm should have also been able to get a hand on this guy. The play should be starting left and bending back right between Sanders kickout block and the combo on the right side. Backside penetration should have never killed this play. Even if AD doesn't make contact and simply steps right at the snap he is literally in the way enough for this play to gain a first down.
  7. "Spy" also doesn't mean someone just sitting 3-5 yards off the LOS. It really means "chain puller" someone that forces Milroe to make a decision and quick. Typically that will be an off the ball player that lets traffic clear, and/or allows Milroe to make a move eliminating a side/option. Then it is downhill from there. Point being, Ant, and whoever else, can and will be playing an attacking upfield role as a "spy." Additionally, I suspect we will play a decent amount of zone - eyes on the QB and presents challenges of timing and accuracy for a QB who isn't know to excel at either.
  8. Lol but it wasn’t even a bad conference in 2008. It was the toughest conference in the country. UT, OU, Tech and Mizzu that year. We lost one game on the road to a top 10 team, in the last minute, at the end of a stretch of playing 4 top 10 teams in a row. Florida got beat down at home with white Jesus playing the whole game by a 6-6 Ole Miss, due to a post game fucking speech. Fuck 2008.
  9. There is lots of work for developer/studio team to do but there is nothing left to fight... they have the entitlements. They should have permits in the next 60-days.
  10. Last HS game at Disch is Thursday the rest are at Dell. https://www.uiltexas.org/baseball/state
  11. You think? I would go the other way, our NIL pockets potentially make being a situational/depth player at Texas more attractive than a starter at say DBU, East Carolina, etc. Scholarship limits seem more restrictive to building true depth in college ball.
  12. Lol ok bro….
  13. He was the 3rd in line for “weakest link,” out of the starting 5 last year. With Banks being a 1st round talent and Jones probably being a mid to potentially early round draft pick… 3rd is not a bad place to be when 1-2 are high to mid round NFL talent. If the guard(s) position is fixed this year the OL will be much improved and most of anyone issues with the C position will be gone, because he won’t have two young, turnstyles on either side.
  14. Reviewing more than the NFL isn’t the issue, it’s the manner in which they are reviewed. The vast majority of reviews should be resolved by someone in a both in less than 30 seconds. It’s honestly not that difficult 95% of the team but it somehow seems to take endless amounts of time no matter how straightforward the review should be.
  15. Freshman yr in HS broke my right index finger with an asshole trying that shit. Still have no idea what exactly caught it, had my hand holding the ball inside the mit for two handed tag. Missed the rest of the fucking season.
  16. Yeah it will be interesting to see. Granted on a slant you throw a bunch of shit at the DB off the line to see if you can get him turned/off-balance and explode into your route…. I just don’t like the leaving your fear part of it.
  17. It’s also 1v1 drills… so it’s not real football anyway. I’d be curious to see if he does it in real game action
  18. If it’s an option route in single coverage he can work it in, but that should get worked out as he gets better coaching. Better film study will zero and better dbs will zero in on it and you can’t explode in any direction if your feet are off the ground.
  19. Regarding any winter offensives, the weather has not been cooperating. While it's been very helpful for European gas/electric supplies, not so much on harding up the ground. Not sure what's in store for the next couple of months but the latest weather reports I've seen show Europe continuing to be warmer than usual.
  20. Sounds like something a Georgian would say
  21. Biggest group of punchable faces outside the southern half of the cotton bowl.
