Killebrew and Bobino manned in the slot is just tragic football.

The guy is just completely out of his depth and for all of the negative GD sentiment it’s pretty clear where our weakest links reside on this staff.

I used the reduced look on both sides (two three tecniques) with big Mike at the nose to guarantee a single block on him (or at best help from the RB). The two LB’s were aligned in the eagle look and one LB or the other was the designated fourth rusher almost every down.

The rush LB either shifted very late (when QB raises leg final time–scouting report)outside the OT and came from a loose five technique or jumped into the A gap late with the nose swimming away from the blitzing LB. The remaining LB always bumped (slid) late to a favorable alignment on the RB.

We played standard man some and we gave a two deep look where we dropped one safety down late to a robber depth—went with a robber look that turned into cover 2 by squirming technique. We also gave a quarters look that could stay quarters, squirm to cover 2 late, or play cover 3 robber with just one safety immediately back pedaling.

The key is making the QB pull the ball back down and refocus so that the rush has the opportunity to make him uncomfortable. Defenders moving differently than anticipated from their pre-snap alignment is the best way to cause confusion in the QB’s read–all you need is change his rhythm to get the pressure in his head.

By the way, which C. Brown were you referring to as an underneath corner—Curtis or Chykie?

Short and readable for our average ADD user.

In watching Tech this year, it does seem like Harrell gets a little enamored with Crabtree at times. It also seems like, especially in games vs. Colorado and Mizzu, that defenses have been getting more “quick” interior pressure than they have in the past.
