[QUOTE="Froggish, post: 2750902, member: 71860"] Seems like for 3 years now or since the keys were turned over to SC, we've continually been in the process of revamping our offense from the Tech spread to a Vertical RPO. A few things I’ve noticed with SC is that in the heat of the battle he turns right back to the stables of the Tech system hot throws. An example is that 3 yard Pick play he runs 4-5 times a game that continually gets blown up. A lot of us mistake it for a screen because it’s a quick sideline throw but it actually a Pick-Out where the inside WR in a 3 side set runs a quick out rubbing off the outside guy next to him. It never works for more than 2 yards because the catching WR has to make 2 cuts before getting up field all the while praying that other Wr gets the pick..Its silly and we’ve been running it since the Meach days.. As for screens, I don’t actually hate screens, I just hate the way we run them. If while catching the screen, we moved the receiver toward the QB we would have a guy catching the ball quicker and with momentum. Again we are running it currently the same way it was run in the Tech system and now that our sets have changed the old way doesn't work. The reason the jail break screen has been successful is because the WR is coming back to meet the ball rather than standing stationary and waiting for the ball to get to him. We turn our WRs into statues and seem to still call them when the DB is in damn near press coverage.. Finally, our run blockling principals are all the same..Zone everything and show pass almost all the time. The run blocking scheme has to be addressed. If your going to change the offense then change it, don't ride the fence SC is a smart guy but his brain seems to go foggy in the heat of the battle. I have admiration for him for what he's been asked to do. It's sort of a no win. Imagine your whole life/schooling being centered around 1 system and then being told by your boss to blow it up and reinvent it. On top of never being a play caller, GP has asked him to completely reinvent himself and his approach to the only offense he's really ever known. That can't be easy and it hasn't...Its been bard to watch.. [/QUOTE]
