Mad Son's Ramblings: Washington on the right track but not there yet
Mad Son is back to break down what was and what's still to come.

Pre snap movement is fine if you're using it to dictate defensive play calls. I still see the biggest play calling problem being a lack of identity and getting out of rhythm.

The one theme that this offense has is that it is trying to confuse the other team – no identity, lots of "trick"plays, pre-snap movement before nearly every play, and calling the unexpected. Sure, you may expect Washington to run a dive to pick up one yard, but won't a delayed counter confuse you? Apparently not if you're Arizona, or anyone else in the country. I get taking advantage of mismatches and holes in the defense can be advantageous, but this clearly isn't working. Empirically the misdirection does not create enough opportunities for the drives it kills. This team can only score on explosive plays because the offense can not create any sustained drives. This is the major sticking point that will continue to hold this team back.

Ohio State uses pre snap movement to destroy Oregon in the NCG. Very problematic line of reasoning that's found purchase here.

My problem with it is that *IS* the identity. It is a substitute for any real substance in the offense is the problem.doogsinparadise said:Pre snap movement is fine if you're using it to dictate defensive play calls.

Pre snap movement is great when your dumbass offensive players are smart enough to do it and still run the play correctly. Unfortunately these are some serious dumb fucks so a lot of coaches just say fuck it.

Pre snap movement is not the problem.

The problem is going away from stuff that works just to be cute and "smarter" than the other guys.
