Batty is mad about OSU. He's going to come out and hit the UCF QB so hard that

Batty needs to play his assignments instead of chasing laser lights like a cat

What was his assignment?

As you rush the QB you have to contain to the inside. QB can't get outside.

Bobby Lee Swagger

You assume Batty is always playing as the force man simply because he’s a DE.

If you’re in a 4-3 playing out of a 9, sure

Unless your job is to crash and pinch and someone else is contain.

To set the edge and not crash down on the RB every single time. Makes the zone read pretty easy when he crashes.

The DL is the first pt of attack on the ground. Biting on "wrong" options is part of the job description.

Batty needs to be focused and do his job, he can be mad all he wants, he didn't do his job on Friday night.

But he sure did hit the RB hard when he bit on the pulled hand off

Belboz

He hit him so hard that I honestly thought it was going to draw a penalty

Coug

12:56pm

I'm pretty sure he did his job last Friday. Unfortunately the D as a whole

The entire DL didn't do their jobs at all which triggered everyone else haven't to abandon their jobs....

I'm open to hearing who had edge contain if it wasn't Batty.

Corn Pop

I didn't see a corner blitz so that leaves a safety or an LB. I'd be a little

I wasn't calling the D, but it seemed like the scheme was to have DEs get in the

You really think the DE has edge contain on every down? LOL. This board

LOL, didn't say that. But you do you as usual.

You didn't say it, you just inferred it. Throwing together a couple buzzwords from a messageboard doesn't mean a

LOL, shimmy with the double down. This is hilarious. Keep going.

I respect you trying to talk your way out of the above post. I’m sure doing it without any substance is difficult. But

Nah, just some advise: you probably shouldn't assume cause, well, here you are.

To answer your question, depending on the play the DE, nickel, LB or safety can

Junior Deputy

Yep, already knew all of that, but we're talking about a few specific plays last

Corn Pop

If you already knew all that then you’re doing a great job of acting dumb.

Also could have been a play call that was susceptible to the QB pulling it. Especially when Bowman was in they could

You can also change based on play. That is, the DE has edge/force if it's run

chilawcoug

This is the correct answer.

iknownothing

No, but when there isn't a linebacker moving over there to cover his space it isn't a huge leap in logic.

TheLoneCougar

1:50pm

Unless the LB is the one missing the assignment.

Junior Deputy

1:51pm

Sure, but that likely was not the case 100% of the time. And Batty's PFF grade for that game was indicative.

TheLoneCougar

1:55pm

Yeah I’m not saying Batty was perfect, just saying that the likelihood of Batty

Hopefully he doesn’t do it after the QB hands it off on a read option

Everybody saying he missed his assignment… are you on the coaching staff?

Coach Hill might know what the assignment was and he said it

Coach Hill said it wasn't his fault haha... he said the media doesn't know

Huh. Except this is the second or third game where he’s done the same thing and we’ve barely won in the end.
