oversimplifies the demands placed on defenders. If all anybody on defense ever does is just shadow one guy, the offense will likely score a touchdown on virtually every possession.

The Keanu Hill TD play design was a thing of beauty.

Can't remember the last time I saw an easier touchdown

That's a great one

Oh man. That was a good one.

I've been critical of Arod, but that definitely WAS a thing of beauty.

If we pay attention, everytime ARod runs a gadget play, it's from something

Kinda like setting up 1 in 9 3rd down conversions by throwing 5 yds short of the

kind of like being 9/11 on 4th down conversion because of it

1984coug

9 of 11 is because: WY and NIL. If we're 82% at season's end, you may be right.

jtm0001

It's situational... Let's say it's 3rd and 9+

I've always been a fan of delayed TE / RB routes

darkcoug

Sep 17, 9:39am

I really like when we run middle TE screen . . . It’s awesome

LakeshowCougs

I will never understand a defense that doesn't have all eligible receivers

Corn Pop

Defending straight up is a very hard thing to do

darkcoug

Sep 17, 9:42am

Many times a player has multiple responsibilities

Huge Manatee

Sep 17, 9:43am

The block and delayed route is designed for that. The defender isn't just

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 17, 9:44am

Understood, but if the QB is still holding the ball and the TE is still an

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 9:47am

Because that is not the LBer's only job.

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 17, 9:52am

Awesome. Who's job was it, then?

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 9:55am

Why the attitude? The TE is not that LBer's only job.

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 17, 10:54am

Great. So who did he pass him off to?

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 11:07am

The DE who is being blocked by him.

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 17, 11:17am

The DE ran to the middle of the line at the snap. The LB then runs up, engages

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 11:25am

Watch the play a few times. Watch what each guy does.

IdahoCoug

Sep 17, 11:25am

So they had one guy in charge of covering 2 guys? You can try and sell it all

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 11:35am

Why can't you just accept that the LB defending him had two jobs?

IdahoCoug

Sep 17, 11:45am

Why can't you accept that it's stupid to blitz if it leads to absolutely nobody

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 12:28pm

Okay, I get it. You would be a read and react DC if you were one.

IdahoCoug

Sep 17, 12:31pm

Well that's a fairly dumb reply. Well designed blitzes don't leave receivers

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 12:38pm

So you believe in playing man coverage 100% of the time. That’s what you’re saying. Someone “assigned” to the TE whether

mvtoro

Sep 17, 12:07pm

That's not what I've said at all. I've said that all eligible receivers should

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 12:34pm

Then what do you mean by always having “every receiver marked presnap”? In every defense I’ve been a part of “marking”

mvtoro

Sep 17, 12:46pm

Marked, identified, whatever you term you want to use. That particular Wyoming

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 1:07pm

So you’re just saying, if you’re going to run man coverage on any given play, you should make sure each player stays on

mvtoro

Sep 17, 1:19pm

This is such a weird hill for you to die on. And dying you are. College

LifeLongLakerFan

Sep 17, 12:22pm

There were two LBs probably sharing responsibility for Hill on that play

zuko

Sep 17, 9:46am

Ya, great play call, great patience by Hill to delay/sell the blocking.

shoganai

Sep 17, 9:50am

This “shadowing one guy” is just “man” coverage, and there’s more than one reason that teams don’t run it every play.

mvtoro

Sep 17, 12:10pm

Yep, not saying that at all.

Corn Pop

Sep 17, 12:40pm

I think that’s where you’re missing us then, because it sounds like you’re saying each defender is marking a receiver

mvtoro

Sep 17, 1:10pm

The man who was guarding him had blitz responsibility if he blocks. Keanu

Adwight

Sep 17, 9:53am

And the slot receiver breaking out must have drawn in the safety. Great design

zuko

Sep 17, 9:41am

Yeah, but used it a week too early (tic, kind of)

Kody's touchdown was smart too.

ARod is really good at designing those plays.

I'm glad he got that score before they almost murdered him.

TailgateU

Sep 17, 11:11am

This is why ARod sends guys in motion so often. To discover if the defense is in
