rahme's excellent column makes me cringe again

[Millhouse]

disclaimer this is not a quibble with the great dave rahme i swear it

"Hackett said the Orange might narrow its offensive focus a little, doing more of what has been working"

might? Might? MIGHT?

doing more of what works... hmmm, i don't know, i suppose, maybe... but that's just what the defense expects... you know what the defense doesn't expect? us doing stuff that doesn't work! so maybe we should do that. like tight end arounds - they totally don't expect that

i like the introspection by hackett, but this stuff shows the weaknesses of being so multiple

"“Right now, it’s about the things we are completing, the things we are running well. We have to do them,” he said. “I have to be more of, ‘OK, what can these guys do? What do they have the confidence in? What do they believe in?’”

and

“To have confidence is what wins games. For those guys to be out there and truly believe in the things that we’re trying to get done, and just do those … then they know, ‘Hey, you can’t stop me at this,’” Hackett said. “Right now, we don’t have that.”

Multiple is the kiss of death for these reasons, multiple is coaches thinking too much and confusing things, take something and be great at it, sure you will get stumped in certain games but at least it will lend itself to some consistency

Didn't multiple USC beat spread Oregon this weekend?

Don't Yale the article literally. It really means we need to put in the throws Ryan can make. And of we are throwing vertically, it will be from the gun.

i don't expect you to maintain a db of what everyone says like fanfandorkdork but i've said a million times that factories can indulge themselves with multiple pro style offenses. barkley, woods and that other guy would do just fine in a plain old non multiple shotgun chuck it around offense

I'd consider Oregon to be very multiple to. Saw them run a screen to the TE Saturday night. Had never seen that before.

Agree Rahme's analysis has been fantastic... Especially liked the article a few days back with the in depth commentary from Marrone. Really felt his frustration and fight to find answers.

if oregon is multiple, then everyone is multiple and it doesn't mean anything

 

[PhatOrange]

I don’t believe it really does mean anything. Most teams are trying to be multiple; run and pass from a variety of formations or run a lot of different plays out of a few formations.

Everyone is multiple except for the pure wishbone/option teams...or on the flip side teams that throw 90%of the time...

Let's say the real answer is we are very average in the OL (best case), and short a playmaker or two. What would you expect your OC to say to the press? Best answer: we are looking for consistency and trying to concentrate on our best plays.

SC has the athletes to beat anybody. Their #2 receiver is another stud next to Woods. Marquise Lee is really playing well.

No elite NFL talent with an NFL first rounder at QB and 2 NFL receivers, and 3 NFL Lineman beat Oregon this weekend. Nobody has every disputed that you cant run an NFL system with NFL talent. A QB that can complete a pass over 10 yards helps too
