To me, it looks as if we have no hot routes. Slants or sit down/stick routes to right behind the blitzer. I don’t know if Grubb has Ty making dummy calls in attempt to bait the defense and then stick with original call or what. Mike, WAY back when I was in HS, my HC and OC gave me the ability to change routes. We basically had 2 calls, slant or hitch. Simple hand signals. Homer Smith used them as well. Sometimes these coaches, just outsmart themselves.
I had to look it up. If in the tackle box, receiver has to be in the vicinity, outside the box, ball must be beyond LOS. Still think the linemen downfield would come into play. Still a penalty.
Okay that sounded better. Maybe it was the way he worded it. Now I understand.
From what I've read, as long as he's outside the tackle box, and it gets beyond the los, regardless if there's lineman down field, it wouldn't be a penalty. I'm still looking through all this shit to see if that's actually correct though.
I ceratinly said 3 lossess disqualified us. I was not hoping Bama would be left out I was just saying with 3 losses we shouild not be in. I know we can agree this Bama team is not measuring up. Now with Bama getting in I am going to root for them to get healthy and get it turned around but I am not seeing a lot that gives me hope that it will happen. I HOPE it does but my eyes tell me something different.
I guess what us old school guys have to accept now is that the playoffs are not about finding the best team it’s about finding the hottest team and the luckiest team as far as injuries and other bullshit. I agree with you fully I think. It’s a whole New World when it comes to college football. If we had any balls, we would go back to the old BCS system and have the top two teams play if you’re not in the top two stay the hell out.!
I agree completely. We are moving to all 136 teams in the playoffs and the regular season is irrelevant.
That’s a really good description dude you nailed it!
Possible! A lot of moving pieces there. Just a guess, but I bet those big uglies breathing down Ty’s neck had him thinking about all possibilities.
It’s a little easier to see other options when you don’t have 1200 lbs of pissed off humanity breathing down on you!
My understanding: Two different infractions - intentional grounding vs ineligible receiver downfield. If the QB is outside of the tackle box and throws the ball beyond the LOS, there is no penalty for intentional grounding (a receiver does not have to be in the area). An ineligible lineman (a lineman can be eligible if he is not covered by a receiver and has checked in with the referee to let them know) cannot be downfield (more than 3 yards) when a pass is thrown downfield.
That is pretty much what I was saying in response to @50+yeartidefan . Throwing the ball away seemed simple enough since he was out of the pocket. The problem and penalty was going to be ineligible downfield because it was a run play and we were going to have linemen going to 2nd level. The result was ugly enough, but could’ve been potentially much worse.
Intention grounding is spot foul n lost of down ( except ez).
All 136 is a great idea!! Round Robin, national champion named after 7 years or so. We have to be all inclusive and can’t discriminate against the teams that lack talent. When you think about it, the teams with the worst records need more practice and games to improve. Just name them all winners at the end of the and everyone can feel good about themselves and nobody gets their feelings hurt.
Did I vote?Final count (as far as I can tell)
No -11&1/2
Yes -11 & 1/2
***the 1/2 votes were by @50+yeartidefan whose waffling counted for a half for each side
Yep - you voted with your heart!
