Message: [QUOTE="NovaOrange, post: 315083, member: 369"] I challenge any poster here to explain to me why any of the above 8 changes would have been a mistake.[/quote] I will give it a try I disagree with [COLOR=#0000ff]3. I would have wiped my butt with the page of the playbook that has that ridiculous bunch formation and flushed it. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]Not all bunch formations are garbage. The bunch if ran correctly can give you space by picks & crossing. It also allows you a one on one match up on the backside with your stud receiver. Example a bunch formation ran while Mike Williams was on the backside would have done wonders. I am not going to say we didn't struggle in that formation because we did but that doesn't mean it doesn't work and can't work with more reps this spring and fall. Timing is very important for a offense and wide receivers have to be smooth and they need to pre read the defense pre snap when playing zone so all of them know what there doing and on the same page when working that close in with each other.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]5. The offense would have moved at a quicker pace before the snap. Quicker getting the play in, [B]quicker substitutions[/B], quicker getting to the line, because I wouldn't give a defense all the time in the world to assess our formation and personnel.[/COLOR] [B]This is a very common misconception by fans. It's always a lot easier said then done. Your either a no huddle team all the time or have a two minute offense and sub during the game. When you sub like you suggest you also slow down the quick attack for 5 additional seconds at least which would give the defense a chance to match personnel and adjust. Quick queston for you how long do you think it takes the Mike to make the call according to the offense? A defense can be set up easy in 5 seconds so unless your moving Oregon speed the no huddle isn't as great as you think. I know you never said no huddle in number 5 but not sure what the difference would have been by the Oline sprinting to the line instead of jogging.[/B] [COLOR=#0000ff]6. I would have game planned to the passing game. It would be clear that the objective each game would be to get Lemon/Provo/Bailey 25 receptions a game between them. [/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#0000ff]So no matter what those three players get targeted around 30 times (since your not going to go 25 for 25) this isn't pop warner you have plays for certain people however when the defense starts jumping those players you go else where. Call BS on this one [/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#0000ff]7. I would have gone for the TD against Buttgers. And I would have gotten it. [/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#0000ff]You can go for 6 all you want but you hav zero idea how that would have turned out. You can't statethat as a fact no matter how you want to spin it[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
