There are also some people here with zero sense of humor or sarcasm.

BTW- making sure guys are “at least” beyond the marker or can get there doesn’t mean they have to all be hanging out AT the marker. It’s fine to get the ball a little short if there’s room to run a yard or two but not at the sideline with no space.
Thanks for the lecture though. Very effective.

three tips for arod

Bonus tip: you don’t have to run up the middle for little to no gain

The CB offensive playbook: on every third down, every receiver needs to run

BYUheaven

10/25/23 7:39am

BYU doesn’t do it and their third down conversion % is abysmal

Beggar

10/25/23 7:40am

It’s the type of play under the marker not running a route under the marker

BYUheaven

10/25/23 7:50am

Yep maybe it's because the defense plays to keep everything in front of the

CB as a collective might be a better OC tbh

They don't all need to go past it. But all at least need to get to it.

Can you expound?

Cougzilla

RE: Can you expound?

BYUheaven

10/25/23 9:02am

I agree with this given that the play is designed for the ball to be caught

Cougzilla

10/25/23 9:13am

The problem is that the defender is at the sticks and the receiver has to adjust

BYUheaven

10/25/23 9:19am

I agree but I also think thats a different argument than we can or should

Cougzilla

10/25/23 9:37am

By this logic OCs should never call a run play on 3rd down. You guys are simply geniuses.

kccougar

10/25/23 8:46am

How often should they call a run on 3rd and 10?

Cougzilla

10/25/23 8:51am

C'mon kccougar, I'm waiting for my lesson. How often should we run on 3 and 10?

Cougzilla

10/25/23 9:40am

12%

kccougar

10/25/23 9:42am

Is that also what you pay for tithing? just kidding.

Cougzilla

10/25/23 10:07am

If the goal is to score a TD we should just run all plays to the endzone. Then

johnnybyu

10/25/23 9:02am

From what I've heard the stats actually disagree with this

puntersarepeople

10/25/23 11:33pm

Signed, Wilson to Milne on the drag route just behind the line of scrimmage that went for a first down all the time.

valcorger

10/25/23 10:38am

So if the QB takes the check down, that's ARod's fault?

inertiaman

10/25/23 7:40am

Why give him that option? Might as well punt on third down

Beggar

10/25/23 7:42am

ding ding ding

Kale

10/25/23 7:43am

so you don't get sacked and lose yards or worse, throw a pic or fumble

fulano

10/25/23 7:48am

Because of spacing. Receivers spread the defense.

Belboz

10/25/23 8:27am

Spacing and the ability to break a tackle or two.

10/25/23 9:12am

That's not how it works 🤦🏻‍♂️

whoneedscorners?

10/25/23 9:36am

Neither is how they’re doing it

Beggar

10/25/23 9:53am

They did it the same way the last two years and were perfectly fine.

puntersarepeople

10/25/23 11:35pm

Depending on the situation it makes sense to take the check down.

royal_blue

10/25/23 9:56am

Ridiculous comment as a checkdown can often gain yards to set up for a FG or

puntersarepeople

10/25/23 11:35pm

Even the check down should be past the marker.

Soupie

10/25/23 7:45am

Wrong

Sorry soupie, didn’t pick up the sarcasm. We are in a thread where people

if you were sarcastically saying that, I missed it. My bad

fulano

CB geniuses. SMH.

kccougar

10/25/23 8:19am

Is the check down the RB coming out of the back field? If not, then it's on ARod

Cougzilla

10/25/23 8:03am

Remember guys, it’s all about having the right player.

Malcolm Reynolds

10/25/23 7:45am

It's ok to throw a slant over the middle

WhirleyPop

10/25/23 7:45am

This is the correct answer. It’s ok to throw a third down play underneath the

BYUheaven

10/25/23 7:49am

Risk aversion. Throws in the middle of the field are more susceptible to INT

Doogal McCougar

10/25/23 8:43am

Yep. Our offense definitely plays it safe and tries to win the turnover margin

BYUheaven

10/25/23 8:46am

This is the yewt offense, not Lavell's, unfortunately

vegas guey

10/25/23 9:07am

Yes to both above

theonick

10/25/23 12:14pm

Whitt doesn't throw it anywhere near 60% of the time historically

puntersarepeople

10/25/23 1:23pm

Something so obvious deserves a POTD. Obviously to everyone but ARod

TNT

10/25/23 7:55am

I think I could count on zero fingers the number of times ARod called a slant

Strawhat4life

10/25/23 8:21am

He ran one to Epps last week that picked up 10+ yards. Never threw it again

Beggar

10/25/23 9:13am

TCU should've taught him that.

RenoCoug

The defense playing to keep everything in front of the sticks probably affects

johnnybyu

And don't be foolish by trying to set up the passing game with a strong rushing

BlueFever

10/25/23 7:51am

With Robbins looking healthy I think we have a strong rushing game. Looked good

NYC and Japan

10/25/23 8:22am

I didn't notice, but Texas isn't the team to test a heavy run game with.

Here's the problem though...

runnincoug

10/25/23 8:22am

Of course the D will leave them open there. The sideline is a defensive barrier. Space for YAC is bigger issue.

Soupie

10/25/23 9:41am

yeah, if you throw short, you've gotta do it with room to maneuver.

runnincoug

10/25/23 9:54am

This is why we should do double moves and go way beyond the sticks. Yes, it's

RUNBYU1

10/25/23 1:59pm

I'd be down for that too. Route running hasn't been good thus far for WRs.

runnincoug

10/25/23 2:10pm

So many third down throws to a receiver short of the first down marker

Belboz

One thing at a time - 3 suggestions at once can discourage anyone

Agaricus

10/25/23 8:41am

Shallow crosses can be an excellent way to convert on 3rd & Long

CaliWG

10/25/23 9:04am

This, and the crossing route behind the LOS allows the other receivers to block downfield.

valcorger

10/25/23 10:44am

Don't run the ball every first down, when it fails don't double down on second and on third pass the ball instead of ...

#4 stop with runs/passes that go horizontal. We never are fast enough
