re: 2023 Fall Camp Thread - Game 1 prep week

I didn’t know either, so I went to figure it out

I think he pulled the transcript of a podcast/YouTube video that that WarRapport did with Geriner, Robby, and Luke Deal.

Geriner told a story about when he went to an FSU camp injured, but was messing around and hit goal post twice from the 20 while in a boot, and Taggart gave him a scholarship from his golf cart

That was it

A big topic lately has been the option routes.. Camden Brown came out and said that a lot of what they are doing are option routes..

There are specific option routes, then there are normal play calls in which receivers have to understand which different options are available based on the coverages, alignment, backpedal/hip flips..

It's more complex than it sounds. It can be boiled down to "taking what the defense gives you."

Below is a clip from Liberty's win over Arkansas last season.

This play was not your typical option route, but the receiver knew he could break off his route due to the coverage.

1. He knew he had a safety playing off of him over the slot.
2. He pressed that safety with his route (ran toward him to keep him moving backward).
3. He waited for the hip flip. When the safety decided it was time to flip and run, then the receiver breaks his route off to the open space. He knows it will be open because the outside receiver hitches up to keep that corner down.
4. The quarterback was on the same page and delivered a timely ball when the receiver broke off the route. It turns into almost a smash concept when really the receiver took what was allowed. The concept is not hard, the execution takes time.
5. If the coverage had been tighter, meaning there would be no safety over the top, he would take it deep. Same play call, could have a different result for the route based on coverage. That's what Auburn's receivers are in the process of learning right now.

Actually that's RPO football. QB reads the read man. The WR and QB read the coverage that will determine the route run in the RPO.

Freeze was definitely more pissed about the WRs then he was the QBs.

I love this flexibility. This is NFL stuff allowing our WRs to think and change course on the fly.

This also requires QB-WR chemistry. We need a QB1 stat!

For sure. Both of them have to see the same thing. I fully expect early to see some throws that seem like they’re going to nobody.

Fact pattern changed. Your guy had receivers do roles lol.

I was just frickin with you. We've had 8 fall practices.

Once we get down to 2 QBs the chemistry will increase. Then a true evaluation can really be made. Then it will be a split something like 80% for the starter 20% for the backup and chemistry increases even more. Plus the same WRs will be working in the 2 deep as well.

I still stand by someone of the 3 gets cut out Thursday.

Will add 2 projected starting WRs were out in the scrimmage.

Camden Brown and Var Johnson. Camden is gonna drop like a rock in breaking into the lineup if he doesn't get that hammy healthy quickly. Var will be back and hasn't missed much time so he should be good. There will be plenty of rotation at the slot depending on much development and how quickly Burton picks up the offense.

Rogers coming in and being out of shape hurts us.

Thats kind, if he lost the excess weight he might be a safety.

Freeze said when he purposely got out of hurry up, the defense stopped the offense.

So maybe it is the fact the defense does not have its assignments and responsibilities figured out, if not every team now knows to run a hurry up against us
