Would be interesting to see how many of those blitzes…

…were delayed blitzes? Force the offense to make a decision or ignore an area early in the play or pre-snap.

That said, I have always felt ARod calls too many plays that are gimmicky or overly complex or slow to develop.

Are we still zone blocking on runs a lot? We ran a straight up counter trap against SIU that was a thing of beauty. Misdirection runs. Dunno. I know nothing.

AROD said in the second half, Baylor blitzed on every down, which they hadn’t

Genghis Spreads

1:08pm

We were also trying to milk the clock at that point. Doesn't really lead to

RGGeemer

1:09pm

He said he didn’t take his foot off the pedal.

Genghis Spreads

1:10pm

Yeah, I know. Just pointing out a potential strategy flaw to just flinging it.

RGGeemer

1:13pm

except for most critical play of the game where milking the clock is needed,

indocoug

1:43pm

The play where Roberts was being held at the sideline, but no flag was thrown?

valcorger

2:12pm

It's not hard and not a reason to fail for a half. Did he use it as an excuse

stansburycoug

1:12pm

No. He said we called plays to counteract it but we didn't execute to make them pay.

1:16pm

Yeah and he’s right. Lots of screw ups. Playcalling was fine.

YOHONOMOTO

1:17pm

And the refs screwed up a couple of times

2:10pm

Bottom line: We just weren’t very good on O 2nd half

cajuncoug

5:25pm

Care to break that down for us? Why isn’t it hard? Why isn't the opponent’s

Polecat

1:22pm

Once they are blitzing every time it basically takes away the advantage

stansburycoug

1:34pm

Seems reasonable. I’m sure Pay leaving the game impacted things some as well,

Polecat

2:31pm

It's not just a matter of knowing whether they are blitzing every down or not.

byusage

3:46pm

You are right, but if you know its coming its much harder to disguise

stansburycoug

5:05pm

Throw over the blitz...? How's that work with a sidearm delivery?

icecougar

4:09pm

Thanks for chiming in Kalani, make sure to have the team ready to play since

CameronG

1:54pm

Look, is it so out of line to ask questions when fans make solid firm claims

Polecat

2:37pm

I'm a critic and don't think Baylor was all on Roderick but when the offense

CameronG

3:57pm

Do you watch much CFB? Very common to have a good half followed by a worse one

puntersarepeople

3:59pm

A season and a half of mostly poor offense and all is good in Zion

CameronG

4:05pm

The offense has been mostly good, not mostly poor the year

puntersarepeople

4:21pm

Other than K-State setting BYU with short fields, the offense did nothing

CameronG

4:33pm

30 ppg vs power teams and we’ve possibly faced our toughest 2 opponents.

puntersarepeople

4:40pm

The first half of Baylor was maybe ARods best half of football he s ever called

stansburycoug

5:16pm

No thanks for being 5-0 huh?

puntersarepeople

3:07pm

It puts more pressure on you when the starting C is out who calls all the

puntersarepeople

3:08pm

Seems that they were also down to 6th and 7th string running backs. Probably not fully adept yet on picking up blitzers.

valcorger

4:11pm

This is actually probably a bigger deal than Pay at this point

stansburycoug

5:13pm

I always thought throwing to the TE was a great way to beat the blitz.

Pollster

1:16pm

Throwing to where the blitz is coming from is usually a good way to beat it

1:23pm

Yes and guessing wrongly where the blitz is coming from is also a great way to

YOHONOMOTO

2:02pm

It probably shook the players more than him. Clearly execution was off in the 2H

arcawley

1:16pm

Yep. Drops. Missed FG. Backups playing due to injury. Issue was execution.

ldssdl

1:31pm

Missed FG was 49 yards

Genghis Spreads

2:43pm

Yes. And he’s hit 2 from 50+ this season. He has the leg for that distance.

ldssdl

5:19pm

He dialed up multiple plays that would have made them pay for blitzing. Didn't execute them well enough.

kccougar

1:22pm

I read on PFF about Retzlaf before KState game...

Tweege

1:35pm

That might catch up to us in the next game. Az blitzed Wilson a ton

3:08pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BYU hasn't been down big all season.

DizzyDean

2:31pm

They did adjust play calling to account for that. He called multiple passes to make them pay. Problem was bad execution.

yapacoug

3:50pm

If blitzes are being disguised and hard to identify, then it ratchets up the degree of difficulty. Poor execution

4:00pm

Would be interesting to see how many of those blitzes…

iknownothing

4:15pm

With our C injured on the sidelines & our lack of a dangerous RB, that was a reasonable strategy.

SinkingQuffa

4:42pm

My response to stuff like this

cajuncoug

5:03pm

Yeah cause Detmer never had bad halves

RGGeemer

5:27pm

Blasphemy to even suggest such a thing

cajuncoug

5:46pm

I suggest you ACTUALLY listen to the interview where this was said and note

rcbyufan

7:39pm

I think it was mostly receivers dropping balls and bad reffing

YOHONOMOTO

6:40pm

Then throw a screen pass and stop running it up middle. Not hard

5:28pm

No kidding. Just call “screen right on two”. So easy.

The Y's Insider

10:03pm

So, every team will then just blitz every down, if that’s the result.
