Roquan won't have to focus on that. His job is to eliminate the tailbacks from being productive. He won't be covering your tight end or receivers. He will stuff the tailbacks at the line and eliminate the tailbacks from the receiving game. Play offense without a running game and without a safety valve for your passing game. Good luck.


Interesting...so the Roquan guy doesn't factor on pass plays much then...That sounds like the perfect spot to take advantage of play action to his spot on the field..

He isn't wasting his duties by spying on your qb.

He is eliminating your tailbacks from the equation (2800 yards rushing, 31 rushing TDs, 800 yards receiving, 10 receiving TDs).

The middle of the field won't be vacated (another ILB and 2 safeties). We aren't leaving assignments uncovered. We are just forcing OU to play 60 minutes with 1 hand tied behind your back.

You say interesting because you think Roquan becomes a non-factor by spying your tailbacks.

I say interesting because your tailbacks touch the ball on over 60% of the snaps.

OU has a great yards per play average. What happens to that average if the running game gets under 3 per carry and you lose your underneath safety valve?
