From the Perch: Rhett Lashlee (SMU vs Temple)

Jan 4, 2020

Series:

So we finally did it. We finally got the offense I have been begging this university to run for over a decade. I honestly will start by saying that I think we nailed this hire. This was my number one pick this cycle and I have been answering with Rhett Lashlee anytime someone would ask me who would be my pick to replace Enos. (I did say Lincoln Riley's pen too) This will be 11 narrated clips from the FIRST HALF of the SMU Temple game. I decided to start the series with a common opponent for next year in Temple.

Here are some random first look take away points from the first half

This is a multiple based uptempo spread offense
In the first half alone I charted 61 plays
Miami ran 64 plays a game in 2019 (Now you know why I did this video in parts)
Initial impression is that Lashlee will not put the stress on the offensive line that Enos did
There is a consorted effort to get rid of the ball quickly
SMU allowed only 17 sacks on the year (34 less than Miami's 51)
One of my biggest criticisms of last year's offense was the refusal to audible when necessary
Rhett Lashlee and SMU will check with me at the line of scrimmage
Run game this first half was not overly complicated and utilized both zone and man blocking
Zone read will be featured much more in this style of offense
I strongly disagree if you think SMU's offensive line is better than Miami's
SMU's offensive line was not dominant and hardly created any push
They don't seem to be a very powerful or overly athletic offensive line
Once again the quarterback is getting rid of the ball very quickly not requiring to block long
Air raid components are apparent with option routes based off look
RPO friendly formations that are easily read identifiable for quarterbacks
SMU quarterback would be the #4 quarterback here. (I mean #3 if Tate was on vacation again)
This system will not be overly complicated to assimilate as far as a QB is concerned (Pre snap reads are much simpler to find)
SMU WR's had their way with Temple DB's
Lashlee manufactured some big plays by design
Favorite play was watching 12 set personnel act as blocking decoys when in fact it was a stop and go (I will attach clip)
That play showed the ability to use personnel to gain an advantage
SMU went under center very sparingly and were a predominate shotgun based team
11 set heavy but also showed 10 and 12 set personnel

Thank you for supporting the YouTube page and it was an absolute pleasure to become a student of this offense. There will be many more games I look to tackle this off season but no place like the present. Also look forward to Lance Roffer's breakdown as he will definitely be utilizing his technical aptitude and bring his unique talents to the table. You know we assemble around these things like a kick *** x/o forming Voltron. I'LL FORM THE HEAD.

Strongly, strongly disagree with that...Beuchele was no world beater, but he's better (not on raw talent just a better qb) than Perry and Martell.

Arm talent? No chance
Mobility? No chance
He's a decent little qb that doesn't jump off the film at you.

What about stress on the defense when running this type of tempo?

I think going 130/130 on third downs puts a bigger stress on a defense personally.

Oh sorry. Not on raw talent. I missed that part

First thing I noticed, wow was that SMU qb good at making quick reads and getting the ball out fast. Williams and Perry were not at that level.

Great work, Roman! A joy to watch!

Ya my point being there's more to QB than arm talent. Strong arm as Perry no? Make as many throws as Williams no...But there is arm talent there. He didn't hurt Texas at all as a true frosh. Actually was pretty good as far as frosh go... Lost is job to a slightly better thrower, and more importantly in Herman's offense a better runner. As you said though, just not mobile...If Kaaya is a 1, and Lamar Jackson is a 10 on mobility... (Williams 5, Perry prob 6), then Beuchele is a 3.

I did not like the Enos hire after I watched the film. It looked like the same offense Richt ran maybe even more ancient.

This is the first OC hire I can remember liking. People will try to use stats to justify it being a bad hire but IMO Manny defensive stats weren't that great before he got to Miami but he ran exactly the type of defense Miami needed, a 4-3 attacking 1 gap defense and it been working.

This feels like the Manny Diaz hire when Richt hired him back in 2016 the numbers don't blow you away but you have to watch the film. It like recruiting sometimes a kid will have crazy HS stats but you know based on film his game won't translate well. Same thing when we hired Diaz as a DC in '16 you looked at the stats and thought bad hire, but then you watched how aggressive Miss State was on tape and you thought this would work really well at Miami. This feels the same but just on offense.

This offense is a true spread offense with some of that Auburn built in run game. They stretch you vertically and horizontally while also having a power run game. We just need to focus on our OL now.

I love the tempo aspect of it, Miami is painfully slow and methodical offensively-- and just plain boring and ineffective.

Could you imagine UM running 80 plays in the South Florida humidity, what they could do to teams in the 4th quarter

As I’ve posted this is a perfect marriage of malzahn and dykes. One plat you see a typical air raid formation by the field spread to the absolute max , then the next play a very compact power formation.

Air raid is typically finesse but not with Lashlee, there’ll be plenty of physicality to go with finesse.

Nothing about these players says physicality

I'm a big fan of this hire.

I expect Brevin and Payton to eat next year.

Until he gets his guys he’ll probably stay more air raid , that’s the nice thing about an oc worth his salt as play caller. Those offenses rarely have studs on the lines but the scheme allows them to put up crazy stats.

Agree. Our guys better start conditioning like yesterday

That SMU qb looked like Dan Marino and barely got the ball out... i am not sure the leftovers at Miami can execute like that

Now the only problem is do we have the qb on the roster right now to make throws required? I say no. We need a graduate transfer or TVD to win the job

Just what I was wondering. Who's in the portal?
