Yeah, going back and watching it, it was 3rd & 11, we were in our dime package in split safety. We're actively calling plays to not get beat down field. Dijon Lee had white on the outside, got burned, Mincey was late coming over the top to help.... just bad play and mental errors.
Also, I'm just noticing this... I think sabb may have fucked up, which led to Mincey maybe trying to overcorrect that, leading to what happened. I wish I had a better view of it, can't find the All-22 film so I can. But from the angle I see, it looks like split safety pre snap. Another thing to is I don't know what was called, so I'll never truly know.... but if I can find that all-22, I may have a better understanding of what exactly happened.
Let me find it. I saw one by someone and I think I did post that in a thread few days ago when I was posting all of the mistakes they made and that play was part of that. Go back and check that thread
I would greatly appreciate that. I've seen some all-22 posted, but not of that specific play.
Hopefully it's just for tomorrow.
Me to.
If last Saturday would have been different we'd be seeing new guys this weekend anyway.
Whatever can help turn this around. Again, just don't want this to carry over into Wisconsin or Georgia.
Your first sentence has been the downfall of many a good defensive scheme. Can have the right call and someone fucks it up so another guy says, I’ll fix it and cover for him. Think of it like old school option assignments, who has dive, who has QB, and who has pitch? One guy blows his assignment and it looks like shit!
That's my biggest pet peeve that will have me absolutely losing my mind on a player. I cannot stand that shit.
I know what you mean! I coached LBs for a time and our keys were pretty consistent depending on the offense, read thru the head of the guards, FB, TB, WB, thru head of tackle or TE, etc. then I’d have one or two chasing ghosts!! WTH? What are you looking at? What are you supposed to be looking at? Holy shit!!!
That one of the most difficult things imo to teach an ILB.... GETTING THEM TO USE THEIR FUCKING EYES!!!! A lot of guys second guess and are hesitant in how they play due to that. They just gotta read what they're seeing, trust their instincts, and be aggressive. Whether that's stacking and shedding blocks, when we do we're violent with our hands, when we play a run, we play it inside out and if we're able to get him running to the sideline, don't overrun the play, but as you're running him towards that sideline take away that space and make a tackle. And like you said, the pulling guard will almost always tell you where the play is going, just fill your correct gap, play it inside out, don't allow cutback lanes, if he bounces it outside then scrape over and go make a play. That's something else I can't stand, guys just not doing their job and trying to be a hero, which usually leads to missed assignments and a big time play given up.
Let me fix this. "GETTING THEM TO USE THEIR FREAKING EYES!!!" That's better curser.
