Villarri runs

[kirbivore]

Watching Dan steam roll tired defenders is fun and demoralizing for opposition. This will help us more further in the season

Just no more pass patterns and we're cool. He was responsible for that Stanford pick 6 by not turning his dang head around.

I guess there is always the chance that Fran had more plays for Dan last night with Pitt coming up since Narduzzi looked so clueless trying to defend him last season. Give Pat a reminder and something else to think about.

Narduzzi has Villari PTSD for sure

Shrader was a real qb, until he lost his arm completely.

McCord is a unicorn. doesn’t mean Shrader was awful.

Shader was banged up most of the time. If he had been healthy no telling what he would have achieved. Heart of a lion, great football IQ and, as far as I am concerned, Syracuse football royalty
.Thanks for some great memories Garrett.

I get the Villarri Runs right after a trip to the Olive Garden.

We don't have anyone fast enough to get to the edge. They have tryed that with Pena, and lost yardage every time.

We do, but he’s a frosh and hasn’t done anything but return kickoffs

Its all been said but ill attempt to summarize.
*Villari is a beast to take down, late 3rd early 4th those hits start taking a toll and noone wants to deal with that. Get in their heads.
*Put this on tape so DCs have another thing to prepare for.
*This formation is just a setup for an easy score when we really need it in the future.
*He put our team on his back late last year and brought us a bowl game. He is a leader, he has earned a chance, he was screaming out loud for a culture change and he helped get it done.
*A good coach identifies when a player such as Villari deserves a play here and there, the team does too and if it works, its a program building moment.
*besides, our RB2 is out for the year. We had a few carries to pass around...sometimes there is a much bigger picture most dont focus on...
*He was probably down on himself for making a couple bad plays. Coach wanted to show his trust to him and get him reengaged.

It would be a shame and potentially a big missed opportunity if he didnt get a few wildcat looks this year. Especially with some of the things we are struggling with.

I noticed he’s a gigantic human being is really hard to take down. The guy literally falls forward and gains 3-4 yds no problem.

I feel this is a need and he fills it perfectly.

I guess it's time for me to post my perennial lament about why we don't re-create Marrone's Tank Package?

That was: "a formation that features three tight ends and two backs, with backup middle linebacker Lewellyn Coker playing fullback." Adonis Ameen-Moore was the ball carrier as the tailback. After the play was established in earlier games, they did fake the handoff to Ameen-Moore and Nassib threw a pass to Coker vs Louisville for a TD.

I seem to recall they ran some other surprise play out of this formation that season, but don't remember the details. The Tank Package itself was not a surprise. It was regularly used in goal line situations, the opponent knew it was coming. SU scored a lot of TDs running it.

Substitute the best hitter on the team for Lewellyn Coker. Villari could be the tailback.

John Runyon is the fullback.

they have a three te package. Big pass to OG vs UNLV. They also run with it as well

It absolutely is, to add on to what i already posted...our QB isnt a dual threat, just 1 more reason to get Villari the ball but only in the right situations.

 

[FrancoPizza]

I like it. Dan is a weapon with his legs and i think in most cases hes good for 4 yards a carry from that set.

I’m worried about him fumbling. Allen has been incredibly reliable so far.

 

[baggerbob]

We do, but he’s a frosh and hasn’t done anything but return kickoffs

And he just played his 4th game, so if he is to redshirt, he can't play anymore this year. Just returning kickoffs would be a wasted year. So hope he gets a chance to play in the next few weeks, or takes the redshirt.

hes a weapon in the sense that once the O is all out of bullets, we can always the empty gun (him) at them.

Sure, but it's not the Tank formation that Marrone and Nate Hackett devised.
