I don't understand the mental errors. Defending the option is merely assignment football. You do YOUR job, and let everyone else do theirs and you stop it dead in it's tracks. The interior DL has the dive back, tackle him every time. The DE/OLB has the QB, and your job is make the QB pitch the ball, then kill him anyway. The CB has pitch responsibility, turn it back inside where your help is, keep outside leverage and tackle him. The ILB is supposed to be scraping along the line following the QB until he picks his poison and either leaves it with the dive back, keeps it, or pitches it and you clean up the play. Our ILB were out of position and the OLB's kept turning their shoulders in to the QB.

IMHO, all our offensive problems come back to the poor offensive line play. Bryce didn't get knocked around a lot, but he was constantly hurried and never was very comfortable back there after the 1st quarter. And the running game couldn't get in on 1st and goal from the 1. We're all bitching about lack of explosive plays and playmakers, but folks, you can't run long, slow developing patterns if your OL can't keep the defense out of the backfield and if you can't run the ball, they don't have to respect that either. So they can tee off on your QB all day if all you can do is run short and intermediate routes and they don't respect the run. Some people up front better grow up and grow up fast, because they are getting manhandled up there and it's disrupting the whole offense. We need alphas on O to step up and get people pulling together.

Have you ever played football? Reaction time reading the option is very very short.

If you want to see what Mullen did to us with the option , go to 15 seconds left in the 1st qtr. This test play was repeated over and over the rest of the game and we never properly adjusted

There was no dive back
quote:

The DE/OLB has the QB

Due to a Mullen choice of formation vs our tendencies - #14/#2 had the QB and CB and Mike LB have the pitch. Will LB should have the clean-up if the pitch back comes back inside.

#31 was basically playing a 5-tech DE pushing inside the OT. OT bump and RG reach to take him out of the play. Too much power for #31 to over come in that phone booth. OT slipped past #31 to seal off the Mike LB (#10). #10 looped deep to get past the OT seal put #10 5 yards deeper than he should have been and 12 yards away from the pitch back he should be chasing.

CB playing bump and run on WR. That took him out of the play for run support. Will LB (#8) went the wrong way. Away from the flow of the play. LG now between him and the play. #8 can no longer have ANY impact on the play unless he catches up 15 to 20 yards down the field.

#14 (in some cases later #2 did the same mistakes) got caught in no-mans land between QB and pitch back. QB cut up field. First contact with the QB was 5 or 6 yards beyond the LoS when the FS (#3), Nose (#94), and SAM (#20) from opposite side of the formation converged on the QB.
Mike LB (#10) was 3 to 4 yards further down field still being pushed by the OT seal block. Will LB (#8) was still a good 4 yards trailing the SAM (#20) who had to run around him to get to the play.

Had the QB pitched the ball, the pitch back would likely have gotten 2 or 3 yards more than the QB did. The QB got about 8 yards gain on the play.

#71 & #70 got overpowered a lot. #70 and #55 got beat with quickness a lot. #79 got abused with speed and then with power when he started trying to jump out in anticipation of the speed. #73 looked to have had a pretty good game.

Someone else needs to step up at LG and RT when we face DL power and we want to run.
