Oak Ridge 2015

All I have heard is this new offense is gonna be perfect for punishing teams who try to double team Tee and Darel.There is not many if any that will beat either for a jump ball if the QB throws it high instead of at the numbers.So when they double them the run game opens up with backs going everywhere.But when your in a scrimmage and the score dont matter you are working on everything but Tee and Darel and defeats the whole purpose of new offense making it look worse than it is.Also cut blocking should be a lot easier than blocking in spread.Thats how Georgia Southern ran all over a great Florida defense with a way better and bigger line.Cats will Roll.

You understand the premise. The degree of successful execution is the unknown.

Doubling both still leaves 7 in the box. We couldn't block five last year. So why do we think we can suddenly block seven?

 

If this offense is the fix, why weren't we running it last year?

 

If scrimmage scores don't matter, why did we have one of our best defensive players in as a third string RB the other day that got hurt?

 

Just curious.

I believe you may have oversimplified the situation. Especially question #2.

 

1. There are other passing options than the two wideouts. The two outer running backs are in the slot position to begin with. Wheel routes with isolation on a linebacker have been open. As well as pop passes to the slots and rollouts with a fullback drag. I wholeheartedly hope others put seven in the box.

 

2. Why does anyone change anything? New car that I didn't have last year. New accountant that I didn't have last year. New menu at Applebee's.  The staff determined with their knowledge (input praise or insult here) of the returning players that this is their choice of offense this year.

 

3. The defensive player that was hurt was getting his offensive practice reps. Most all of the better players were getting offensive reps. I don't feel the objective of the scrimmage was to score more points than Mo. West. If that were the mission, the Cats play calling would have been different. They identified weaknesses and kept trying to correct it. Especially the dive play.

1. I hope you're right, but we didn't seem to have time to let routes develop in the passing game. Anything more than a 3-step drop usually had the QB running for his life.

 

2. I understand your point, but that IMO speaks to the staff being unorganized and/or not properly evaluating their talent either last year, this year, or both. Given that we return the vast majority of our skill players from last year, losing a year of continuity hurts. I'll be honest and say that this might be the best offense (although I have my doubts). However, if it is the best offense for this year, then we should've been running it last year.

 

3. Unless that defensive player is in serious contention to get offensive reps, playing him for the sake of playing him on offense is ludicrous. We saw exactly what that can get us, because now we won't have him for a few weeks at all.

Anybody know if the "Joe Show" is gonna start tonight or next wed. night?

ROLL WILDCATS ROLL

I wish the clowns would listen but they won't...they think know too much. I'm too excited about the season to read this crap from some know it all or two. I'm signing off for a while. Let the idiots have this thread!

You make sense. NOW...I'm done for a while.

Valid points. I'm still trusting the staff to make the best decisions based on all variables. I know a little about football, but I don't think I'd make a good head coach.

 

And best of all, my player LOVES this offense and playing on this team.

Glad to see #10 doing well.

 

We should've beaten RMS when we had him.

You don't have the code? or the invisible ink activator (not the prison kind)?
