its Brandent Englemon... |
| 30 weeks 4 days ago | absolutely |
you know a lot more about michigan schemes than i do, i have not spent much time trying to break it down, or studying them at all, you have spent a lot of time, so im not trying to argue with you....
an A gap player is responsible for A gap plays... however a dlinemen reseting the los 3 yards in the backfield on an inside zone play is doing a pretty damn good job...
obviosuly i see your point, and like i said, it would have been great to make that play, it also would be a play that not a whole lot of nose guards in college football can make, he was a step away from being awesome, and he wasn't..... he was just pretty good...
but its pretty obvious that the lbs were not very good...
that was my only point...

| 30 weeks 5 days ago | I tend to agree more with Brian |
here, although i think its also part of the bigger picture of why its hard to grade players without knowing exact technique being taught, or what is being emphasized in practice...
Mike martin destroys the center... sure it would be great for him to get of the block and make the tackle for a loss, an All american play, something Michigan desperately needs him to be... But nobody would say, "Martin messed up by not making the play... " except for the fact that he is suppose to be our all-american..... The LB's steps are slow their techniques are poor, and their angles don't match up with each other.... and that would be the first thing that coaches would notice in film..
again though, when you are guessing as to what responsibilities are based on alignment, you open yourself up to these kinds of disagreements...

| 34 weeks 21 hours ago | the 5tech is the read |
not the man that koger is traping... doesnt matter if he gets to him or not, its sorta like a midline play in that it doesnt matter what happens outside,
if its a keep the play goes up field, witht he 5 tech squeezing like he is... you wouldnt block him, he is the read..

his job is to trap the man that shows contain... 5tech 4i, olb, safety, mr rogers, whoever, first thing that shoes contain, kick out, open up the lane if the tackle squeezes
when pulling players across the center you usually dont tell him the man he is blocking as much as you are telling him the responisiblity he is blocking,
again this is MO, obviously i dont know for sure, i just know i wouldnt even know how to coach a pulling te on how to block a 5tech on the other side of the field that is doing his job and squeezing a downblock, chances are that te would get killed... its like a counter play, you block the man that shows up field, kick out and thats where the hole is... |
| 34 weeks 22 hours ago | i dissagree |
the play is more of a way to still give denard a lane to run when a team is determined to come up field and take away his ability to get to the edge,
klck out the contain rusher, denard reads the 5 tech and its to the house...
|
| 34 weeks 23 hours ago | I think |
that probably the 5tech end is the read, when he crashed hard, robinson should have pulled the ball... then the hole is inside of the trap block... if the outside lb wouldnt have you showed, then the end wouldnt have crashed, and the hole would have been tighter, as the trap block would have been on the end...
unless this was a called give, i thnk denard made the wrong read...

| 36 weeks 5 days ago | He isnt being asked to cover a zone |
he is simple being asked to wall off number 2 to the wide side of the field... Its a boundary zone blitz. obviously there was some tendies that the coaches felt there was a good chance that they could zone blitz the short side.. drop the end into the 2 vertical spot on the short side and maybe force a quick throw into the ends arms... the boundary end, and the field ilb are being asked to execute the same drop, walling number 2... one just has a lot shorter distance obviously to go, hence why you drop an end to the short side and lb tot he wide side.. flat players are to wall off 2, obviously get your eyes back on the qb if possible...but you have to hall ass to number 2 wall off the inside vertical, and force it to the safety... western read the blitz perfectly, and executed a great hot throw...
if michigan A) gets preasure quicker and forces a wobbly throw, at least with a hands up rush from the olb... B) has a safety that can close on the qb's arm action better, or c) just gets a little quicker at getting out of the hole, then they have what they want...

| 37 weeks 23 hours ago | my thoughts |
first of all i love the counter out of gun.. I think it is a great offensive play... second its a really great play against this particular defensive call... i still think the play could have been stoped with minimal damage, had the fs made his proper run/pass reads, and filled the funnel appropriately.
An outside linebacker is NEVER going to spill a pulling guard unless the defense is angling someone to be the contain man. In this case with a single high safety, the OLB IS the contain man... Obviously they would like for him to constrict the hole more, attack with his shoulders parralell to the LOS and not give up his chest, keeping his outside arm free. But reagardless the hole WAS contricted enough for the olb to have done an OK job. If anyone was going to spill, or squeeze it would have been the end, the problem is that it looks like Michigan is "pinching" its ends, that is the ends are playing "b" gaps. In that case, the end would not be able to get to the pulling guard. The best case scenrio is that he defeats the downblock of the tackle and is able to disrupte the play from the inside. the back side end if squeezing, needs to do a better job of attacking the shoulder of the pulling guard. the guard was able to get out of the hole, before the end touched him, and the tackle was able to cut him off from properly pursuing the pulling guard.
The lb's i beleive are too slow to step to the C gap, assuming that the ends are pinching. The playside lb looks to take a false step, and is therefore one step late in covering the open gap...
however the FS should never be 20 yards down field on a pulling counter play. and should be at the point of attack, by the time they slow developing counter gets to the gap. His first steps after seeing the down blocks of the tackles should be down hill, and then funneling to the playside with the backfield action and the pulls in front of him.. at WORST, he should be just off the outside shoulder of the lb and in possition to make a play before open field... IMO |
