Didn't see Ray on the depth chart. Must've missed it while I was in jail
Every successful Off scheme in today’s game is essentially trying to accomplish 2 things..
1. Disguise intention (run/pass,how/where..)
2. Create 1 on 1s..(aka space for the ball holder)
That’s football...Does it still require you to be physical? Sure..Does it still require your players to win their one on one matchups? Absolutely...
Knowing that the sport of football today really operates with those two caveman basic principles in mind, and that modern rules actually favor the offense accomplishing these principles. You can watch TCU football since Cumbie has been OC and see his schemes are really weak.
To over simplify..We rarely disguise our intentions well and we just don’t get guys in space often. Every pass downfield is a contested ball to a guy fight his arse off to get any space or run after catch.
For those who say it’s the players fault for not winning 1 on 1s, I ask why has been a problem for 3 years now? Our across the board talent is off the charts better then its ever been and we presumably have coaches that are smart and motivate well. The only real answer is that our scheme sucks.
We don’t disguise well...We don’t create 1 on 1s well...
Go watch a go a good offense and you’ll see space to work in..Riley does this better then almost anyone in college..Space everywhere. Defenses don’t know what coming and can’t adjust in time..
I swear to almighty god, if we come out the first 2-3 weeks and show no creativity with how we use Reagor, I will not watch a single down of this offense. I undoubtedly will live 3-5 fewer years because of the absolute malpractice that was last year's offense.
i would love seeing reagor put in the slot more where the defense has to decide to move a corner with him or try to cover him with a safety.
i would love seeing reagor being put in motion or anything to try to get him free releases off the line.
in the running game i would like to see the counter action in the run game come back as they used it two years ago. with the offset back last year most everything in the run game flowed in the direction of the back with the exception of the zone read.
one big reason that reverse to reagor was so wide open against baylor.
This has been my thoughts all along. If JR was 98 percent and improving and if Collins was the guy, there would be no off season transfers. I think Delton is the guy we can plug in right away because he's got experience, but Baldwin will be the guy they look to if they are going for a more pass heavy game. Now, if we can just get Baldwin's waiver and some word on his return date.THIS cannot be overlooked. To me it's obvious. We bring in 2 QB's in the offseason for a reason. I fear the primary reason is the coaches don't think Justin ever returns to 100%, Duggan is a true freshman, and that only leaves Collins and Delton. If Justin ever returned to 100%, don't believe we have anyone who could beat him this year.
I swear to almighty God, if you say you're not going to watch this team for whatever reason again, still, nobody will give a crap.I swear to almighty god, if we come out the first 2-3 weeks and show no creativity with how we use Reagor, I will not watch a single down of this offense.

Based on what?Waiver is a virtual lock.
Based on what?
This year’s immediate eligibility rate is 80% regardless of reason. It’s gotten much easier. His waiver is very similar to Tate Martell’s which was granted. Not only is the waiver similar in context, but they went to the same school and are dealing with the same situation. Additionally the NCAA granted Justin Fields a waiver that negatively effected Baldwin. Add in that the waiver sites personal issues that are prompting a transfer much closer to home. We are much closer to home. The NCAA often rules in favor of these transfers even without the other factors.
Added all up, the odds are massively in favor of Baldwin getting a waiver.
Beg to differ. Low offensive turnovers will guarantee a good season. Period.If you want a mediocre year, that IS how you get there.
From the top down? Wow. Ohio State is supporting the waiver; so, I'm thinking that gives him a bit more than 25 percent. But, you seem to know.You might want to offer your assessment to the staff. They feel, from the top down, that his chances are no better than 25%.

Then you aren’t talking to the right people.
With 0 special circumstances, the odds have been 80%. If he doesn’t get it, I would even assist in getting him an attorney to sue the NCAA . It’s a slam dunk approval.
Maybe....But low risk offense has a ceiling. Good seasons are OK but most of us like great ones..Beg to differ. Low offensive turnovers will guarantee a good season. Period.
It’s the NCAA...Nothing is a slam dunk but that they will screw some [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] up every day until the end of time..
Gotcha. It seems as though he should get the waiver based on similar recent waivers.This year’s immediate eligibility rate is 80% regardless of reason. It’s gotten much easier. His waiver is very similar to Tate Martell’s which was granted. Not only is the waiver similar in context, but they went to the same school and are dealing with the same situation.
