This team doesn’t make any sense

backthepack

We cause inefficient play calling by using dime personnel as a base which entices teams to run the ball a lot.

Which makes our insistence of bashing our head against the wall on offense extremely weird. Especially 2nd and long runs. Using the quick game on early downs is a much better way of protecting DMO, is more efficient than running, and keeps you out of 3rd and long. You want to avoid 3rd down as much as possible. Coach K understands this, John Don does not.

Football strategy isn’t hard. Coaches make it hard by being fucking stupid.

It's like I said the other day, Lake wants an offense that can beat his defense. Butt his defense is wisely designed to beat the best offenses.

He needs to realize most if not all college defensive schemes and/or DBs suck.

You can look to the NFL for exhibit A-Z. Some real dumbfuck coordinators in the league.

First half is hard to figure out. Had so few possessions and UW was trying to big dick the Utah defense, which they failed to do.

Also, had to to deal with DylMo's first INT which was basically the first offensive adversity of this season. Some shaky play after that.

We continued to run unproductively between the tackles in the second half, but 24 points in a half is hard to criticize.

Did you see this one Twatter or are you channeling the ghost of Tom Landry?

I know ball. I’ve really researched analytics, scheme/football strategies, and situational play calling during this whole quarantine.

Look at the passing vs rushing success rates, that’s why you want to pass about 60% percent of the time and about 66% on early downs. It’s hard. Then look at the passing down success rate on 3rd down, that’s exactly why you want to avoid 3rd downs at all cost. Playing to convert 3rd downs create an obvious advantage for the defense and unnecessary high leverage situations throughout the game. It’s especially FS to play this way with a R-FR QB, it’s still FS even if you have Russell Wilson/Patrick Mahomes. You protect your QB but going to the quick passing game on early downs.

Basically almost always your passing success rate is going to be a lot higher than your running success rate but this distribution is a little extreme considering we didn’t even pass the ball that well. We still passed well enough to blow the doors off of them if we threw 12-15 more times. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.


Note: for the retards that ignored the words below the table here is what success rate means

Not sure I would put the playcalling "strategy" all on Donovan when the HC is the one walking around with a Run The Damn Ball hat at press conferences.

Is a 19% rushing success rate good? Asking for a fren

It goes hand and hand. It’s probably both of them. I think Dylan checked quite a few early down passes into runs. We have to stop with the short side runs into a stacked box it never works.

Is 50% SR better than 19% SR? Axeing for a fren

Dylan is doing what he's coached to do or at least what he's allowed to do.

It starts with Lake but obviously a better/more established OC might be able to persuade Lake his offensive strategy is FS.

100% that’s the coaching, I should have been more clear. That’s terrible terrible QB coaching. Especially when Utah was loading the box as much as they did.


He checked this run from the wide side to short side on this (kill kill)...

Oh and for the run the ball crowd that are going to try to use Mike Leach as an exmaple. Mike refuses to run the ball ever, has run the same concepts out of the same formations for the past billion years, and he’s had some pretty shitty players. It makes it easy for DCs to drop 8 when they know your down by down tendency and for the players to recognize route concepts via presnap indicators like formation/splits etc. Joe Brady/Lincoln Riley/Andy Reid etc. have used rules/concepts stemming from leach but they have made it harder to defend via condensed formations, motions, mixing in the run, and by stretching his concepts vertically to press DBs downfield.

I would posit that the bolded portion is the missing part. We? have suffered from this deficiency for so long. Opposing Ds run 8 men in the box, take away the run, and disrupt the short, quick passing game. Until we? connect deep (hello wide open Ty Jones), defenses will disrupt our O. Seen this script for years now. Just like our 2 DL, bend don’t break defense, always gives up copious amounts of rushing yards especially against quality opponents. For that matter, substituting in freshman Cooper MacDonald and getting the ball stuffed in his face for two huge back to back plays is another example of things we? do that are aggravating (see freshman Tevis Bartlett in at SAM against ‘Bama leading to a TD and effectively losing the game after holding ‘Bama tight).
