Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's

[golfclap 6903]

Tarp has a post today that is pretty fucking awesome - it's lengthy diatribe about a single play in the Aggy spring game that highlights why "Jimbo Fisher is considered to be a resourceful game planner and play caller" 

play in question is at the 2:11 mark. Now we don't mention how INCREDIBLY terrible Derrick Tucker is on this play...  but honestly my favorite is the LB who never comes out of his stance as the play happens all around him, including Sternberger releasing right across his face. SEC. DEFENSE.

 

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher is considered to be a resourceful game planner and play caller, capable of understanding what his teams can do and then putting them into position to succeed. You saw a lot of this in Texas A&M’s spring game when Aggie quarterbacks were put on the move to help out offensive lines missing two starters and playing multiple walk ons. In the last few years at Florida State, Fisher followed the trend of many college and pro teams and incorporated plays out of the gun and three receiver sets with spread concepts even though he grew up in the West Coast offense with an emphasis on power and throwing the ball down the field.

In other words, Fisher can be quite innovative and it showed on a couple of occasions in the Aggies’ spring. Today, we’ll look at one of the big plays as an example of what Fisher can do when he puts his mind to it.

In the 1980’s, Joe Gibbs brought 12 personnel to the NFL with the addition of a second tight end as a versatile player who could act as a tight end, fullback, lead blocker, blitz protector, and third down receiver all in one. However, Gibbs also brought power principles to his offense in the form of the counter trey in which not one but two linemen pull from the opposite side of the formation to lead a back to the playside.

One of the things that Gibbs did as a counter off of this play was have his the back go one way behind a pulling lineman but have a second linemen pull the opposite direction to provide protection for the quarterback. It was known as a key breaker and in an era when most teams used 3-4 defenses and inside backers watched the guards they would occasionally run into another following their key.

In the spring game, the Maroon team sprung something akin to this play on the White team for tight Jace Sternberger’s long touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Go 2:12 into the embedded video.

The Maroon is in 11 personnel with three wideouts while the defense has two high safeties. Quarterback Nick Starkel fakes a handoff to Trayveon Williams coming left which catches the attention of safety Derrick Tucker. Even though the offensive linemen have a high helmet, Tucker is focused on what looks like a running play coming to his side. He vacates the deep half of the field.

In the meantime, left guard Grayson Reed is pulling to the right. The linebacker to Reed’s side follows him and comes up to fill versus the run. The other inside backer is basically held in place by the run action.

Sternberger is in line on the right side, starts off vertically, sees the safety vacate the opposite side of the field, and adjusts his route towards the open area. Not only that, Reed’s movement has either brought the linebackers closer to the line of scrimmage or to their left. Finally, safety Donovan Wilson has to take the slot just outside of Sternberger who is running straight at him. All of these items create a throwing lane for Starkel to see Sternberger.

Sternberger runs to grass and the play action has slowed A&M’s pass rush. Starkel is looking for Sternberger all the way even before he completes the play fake and after it he has him ten yards down the field with a throw coming to him at 15 yards with no one behind him.

There were a couple of issues on the defensive side of the ball on this play, most notably that not everyone read high hats on the part of the offensive linemen which would indicate a pass and no one got a hand on Sternberger early in his route to slow him up. This allowed him to hit top speed early and quickly clear the second level of the defense.

Nonetheless, the play set everything up for Sternberger not only to be wide open but also created a throwing lane for the quarterback. In addition, keep in mind that if Tucker stays in place and anticipates a throw, Sternberger can break off the route in front of him and behind the backers for a medium gain.

Overall, it’s play that uses some disparate elements to create big results. It’s akin to four verticals with play action and a pulling lineman thrown in to make the quarterback’s life easier in getting the ball out. It’s creative and it shows you what Fisher’s mind can bring to the Aggies’ offense.

play in question is at the 2:11 mark. Now we don't mention how INCREDIBLY terrible Derrick Tucker is on this play...  but honestly my favorite is the LB who never comes out of his stance as the play happens all around him, including Sternberger releasing right across his face. SEC. DEFENSE.

Armani Watts covered up a lot of secondary break downs last as horrible as it was.  Tucker and Wilson can't do that.  Neither have great speed.  Still seeing that bdf K-State guy run by Wilson over and over again.

Holy shit! Tucker bit so hard on a very average play action fake. That's terrible.  Can't wait to watch that guy be expected to cover up for the Debione Renfroes of the world that they throw out at CB this year.

That play very literally looks like the lb was told to not cover his man, so they could have a long throw and td to the tight end, for either fan excitement or recruitment purposes.

aggy spent their history in the SWC and Big 12 attacking their conference mates in an obvious attempt to hide their deep insecurities. Then they go to the SEC and it's like they have come out of the closet and openly fellate and drop trow for their new conference mates. Then to top it off, in the era of Trump, they hire an actual, honest to goodness cuck and guarantee him $75M. I can't decide if they'll hire Caligula or Rupaul as their next AD. 

[GotThatFire 166]

Jimbo is a bonafide cuckold. a&m. hired. a. cuckold. to be their head football coach. Not this often used "cuck" word that has come to insult somebody's lack of spine and submissive tendencies.. Strap the horns on him and parade his ass around town while we all laugh at him. I still can't believe aggy actually did that. wow

"Maybe Shepherd if you're lucky (hough I think tu finishes 3rd behind us and Bama)" , Of course if Shepard goes to bama it is a gomer win, cause bama is in the SEC West.  If they can stop us from getting a player that goes to another team in their conf., its a win for them.  gomer logic 101.

In thinking about aggy's season next year, I've assumed that their offense will be hot garbage but that their defense will be decent under Elko.  After watching that highlight video, I'm not confident at all that they'll be able to field a competent defense.  Almost every defender in the back seven looks completely lost, their tackling and pursuit is horrible, and their defense looks extremely slow.  The defensive holes between safeties and cornerbacks is especially glaring, but I think a lot of that space is created because their linebackers never pick up the receivers on intermediate routes.

 

In sum, this is gonna be a fun season.

This is the biggest issue for A&M. Their defense probably has the potential to be decent if they can avoid injuries. 

They're one injury away on pretty much every level of the defense from being pretty bad.

Their defense will seem much improved because of their very slow paced offense, so they will only give up 30ish instead of 50ish. But they also go against powerhouse SEC offenses, so its a wash.

I think most of those terrible SEC offenses are better than 84th ranked Boston College was last year. 

 

 

and FSU's defense was orders of magnitude better than what Aggy will field this season, at least in terms of talent. Now it's true that those guys had quit on Jimbo ...

In thinking about aggy's season next year, I've assumed that their offense will be hot garbage but that their defense will be decent under Elko.  After watching that highlight video, I'm not confident at all that they'll be able to field a competent defense.  Almost every defender in the back seven looks completely lost, their tackling and pursuit is horrible, and their defense looks extremely slow.  The defensive holes between safeties and cornerbacks is especially glaring, but I think a lot of that space is created because their linebackers never pick up the receivers on intermediate routes.

 

In sum, this is gonna be a fun season.

Their defense will seem much improved because of their very slow paced offense, so they will only give up 30ish instead of 50ish. But they also go against powerhouse SEC offenses, so its a wash. 

It doesn't matter how slow paced your offense is when it goes 3 and out every drive.

Other than calling Jimbo's bluff, did anything positive come out of the Leal visit?

It's the long game. We weren't going to flip him after one visit.

Exactly.  Teeing him up for when the aggys inevitably shit the bed this fall.

Did we lose that picture of the slide show Sumlin put on for an OV where he listed draftees by conference and never bothered to list what aggy had actually done itself? That picture was so perfectly emblematic of aggy since moving to the SEC.

I think most of those terrible SEC offenses are better than 84th ranked Boston College was last year. 

 

 

and FSU's defense was orders of magnitude better than what Aggy will field this season, at least in terms of talent. Now it's true that those guys had quit on Jimbo ... 

National title 20XX, ya stupid sip!

That's what I thought, but I wasn't going to give up $9.95 to hear it. I feel like he's another "just win" flip. If we can win 8 or more games, the prospect of getting your shit pushed in by Bama, LSU, Ga, Fa, MSU, and contending with USC and Vandy on an annual basis will lose all its luster.

She wants to be closer to the swim team I bet?
