Ok, let me say it a different way. I hope we are able to use the least number of plays out of that formation. No trickery, just simplify it.
True story. I completely missed the /s...
alot of "not to be that guy" phrases around here.
Just say it we can take it, we put our big boy underroos on today!! Now have a good day!

# | Bama assistant Bo Davis to be fired or resign for recruiting violations. This seemed to be missing from the GIF responses
I think the downfall of our offense over these past few lackluster years was due to lack of effort on plays when a guy wasn't directly involved and selling fakes. Between personnel groupings and formations telegraphing plays, and defenses not being fooled by poor acting, it's easy to see why our offense struggled.

# | Analyzing Virginia Tech Head Coach Justin Fuente's Run Attack I like that idea, do you guys have an idea of how that may be structured/what that will look like?
Does Peoples have the hands to be a reliable receiver? I know he sure as hell can be a great lead blocker. I'd also love to see him get goal line tailback reps with a bigger body like Durkin in front blocking
Also, next column will talk more about specific ways Fuente makes gameplan adjustments that allowed Memphis to be successful despite often having less talent than opponents like Ole Miss and Wisconsin (vs TCU.)
Joe and I are thinking about taking these columns as a kick off to a more interactive Key Players Club Q and A. Thoughts?
HBack- if Memphis was an indicator, that HBack position really dictates how the offense is run. At Memphis, Alan Cross was their best lead blocker and possession receiver. If you found him, you had a pretty good idea that he would be involved in the play in some form or fashion.
Right now, Steven Peoples is in that spot. I still think we could see Peoples or Rogers getting work as the tailback in this formation, with McMillian or McClease in that slot back role for this personnel grouping.
It looks like Shaggydog's from a cosmetic stand point. Shaggy. Dark. Wolfy. But it's probably HALF the size of Grey Wind's head. I'm afraid I'm just getting my hopes up. Someone pointed out that Shaggydog and Rickon were really close and their emotions were always connected seemingly. So if Shaggydog really died, Rickon would have lost his shit. He just looked shocked.
Like I said, this is all probably a farce but I'M STICKING TO THIS AND I'M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME.
Also, here.
It didn't warrant a full column, but that was the first thing that stands out. You can't execute this type of offense unless every skill position guy blocks and sells fakes with 100% effort. His guys at Memphis bought in. Creating buy-in to your philosophy and concepts is the most important job that produces wins on the football field.
That's a risky con, considering Ramsey's affinity for canines. He would know the difference between the head of a dire wolf and a normal dog. Was he at the Red Wedding? I guess he was probably busy torturing Reek.
At Memphis, they zoned a ton except on Inverted Veer. In spring practice, we saw snapchats where Wyatt Teller and Augie Conte were on the move frequently. Frankly, the OL at Memphis wasn't very talented. I think the talent level at VT is much higher and that gives Fuente more flexibility to use man schemes when zone scheme will be difficult to execute. As I note, he can make subtle changes to blocking schemes in game to set up a defender who may be overplaying a certain tendency.
effective at calling timeouts?
I mean, theoretically, we could probably play the entire game against Liberty out of just one formation. That's what French is kinda saying here. I think.
all these formations
I hate to be "that guy" (actually, not really) but the point of this article was that one formation can contain a multitude of different options. The idea that the defense can't key on the offenses formation or personnel to get an idea of what play might be coming is what we're going for here. Not lots of formations. Lots of plays from a single formation. That's the ticket!
Actually, I am hoping Liberty is smacked without our offense showing too many of the formations. The less Tenn sees, the better.
I can't see this on my browser from work :(
....not to be that guy, but assuming our QB's can be up to Paxton's ability then yes. Else we might be one dimensional :(.
WAs thinking the exact same thing
To be fair, one can be effective at simple things. Like winning...
Wait, never mind... you've been perfectly fair.
At a glance it looked kind of small, but that could totally just be a prop error or a poor judgement on my part. However, it being the head of just some random wolf would play along with the con, if that is the case.
close your eyes and imagine this.
jerrod evans/ brendan motley at qb
marshawn williams at tailback
trevon mcmillian in the slot
bucky hodges out wide
Isaiah ford on the wing.
now open your eyes, and rejoice.
