re: I chose violence

I think the quarterback has to be elite, all problems solved to having a good season. Oh and play calling. This team is going to be violent. There are plenty of 3 and low 4 stars trying to get paid. Being violent and physical will be the difference in big money for those kids. Question is will the guys making the cash earn it.

These are the threads that keep me coming back

I’m glad some folks are coming around to what I posted.

The pearl clutchers in here… “oh my god he said violence” . figs

Like I said since the turn of the new year we must be more physical. Yes that includes violence. You have to be willing to beat the guy in front of you into quitting. That’s how you walk away from teams in the 4th quarter.

Let’s put it out there? On offense how many people on here think the RPO or Freeze’s RPO is going to “out scheme” defensive coordinators in the SEC?

I would answer that and say very few and only because we might have found a favorable matchup to exploit against some weaker opponents

Since you promised a report back, what criteria will you use to evaluate our violence level? Will each player get a rating? Unit? What rating is required to win? Is it possible to win a game if the violence level is below your standard? Can we be ultra violent and still lose?

Measure = Effort(subjective), line push, sacks, caused fumbles, big hits

There you go.

I’m probably the only person that does not particularly care for “RPO.”

It requires exquisite timing and perfect decision making by the QB and the WR.

I guess it’s high risk, high reward.

I prefer calling a play, audible IF the alignment does not suit that play, and execute at a high level.

Meh, idk that the decision making and timing is as big of a deal now as it was 10 years ago with the RPO offense. Most of the kids have been playing that kind of ball their whole lives. Yes, the QB must make the right decision first and foremost. Everyone needs to be on the same page pre-snap at bare minimum.

Every scheme is a risk/reward trade-off. An example from an opposing defense last year was the OU game. They bring a ton of people on a blitz,but drop one linebacker into the perfect spot and it is a pick six that wins them the game. Had that guy been late in his drop or if the ball goes to the other side of the field there's a good chance our sideline is celebrating because we scored a long TD to wrap the game up. High risk/High reward for OU that paid off bigly.

That has its place in the game which brings me back to your first point. The decision making and timing can be summed up in one word: "Execution". Remember the Georgia game? Late in the game...4th qtr has just started...Offense is driving while down 21-0...So a score here keeps us in the game and gives us all the momentum...4th down and we have the perfect play...IF Thorne hands it off to his RB...Well, he pulls it, runs straight into a defender...There goes all momentum and UGA punches it in shortly after to put a bow on their win.

If the play was executed correctly, we are still in that game and who knows what could have happened. Instead, the team mentally fell apart and just rolled over. Execution is key.

I don’t disagree with you thoughts.

I probably am more conservative than most in what I think about offensive football.

1. Play clean.
2. Protect the football.

As far as run/pass, I prefer a physical running game with play action down field passes mixed in.

I’m not into double reverse, pitch back to QB razzle dazzle orbit motion stuff.
It takes too long and you have to protect for a long time.

I’m a Luddite. I enjoyed the game when we ran so good back in the day.

Percentage I would say 75-80 percent
