And average 2 ypc? At least zone read opens up the run game, it makes a huge difference . The end can't crash down anymore
Did you see that time Rosier was brought in to run a zone read play in one of the early games? FAU maybe? It looked terrible. Leave that zone read mickey mouse **** for the coaches who actually know how to run it. If our OL can't out-muscle Duke and open some holes for the RBs, the zone read isn't going to work anyway, and we're going to get massacred. Line up in the I and run the ball, try to hit them with some PA passes, play field position, protect Rosier from hits, and see what the **** happens. The season is over anyway.
Are you serious?
That was a package he was used in, everybody in the stadium knew his one play a game was either a run, qb run or something near the Los . No threat or respect for anything over the top. So the defenses flew downhill. A good coach would've shown different looks every week off that action ,but ours were too dumb. It's far harder to stop with the threat of the pass.
We have a dual threat qb behind a bad ol. Then mix in he has accuracy issues and still learning to go through the correct progressions.
That's why you use the zone read . It helps the ol, it takes one defender out of the play. The DE will have to respect him pulling that ball out and won't be able to attack the rb in the backfield .
That alone will open up the field and the playbook. The run action will make the PA game effective , which then makes the progressions easier.
Lots of low risk throws.
The last thing you want is putting him in third and longs and expecting him to throw the ball 35 times. Just lining up and running the ball with Yearby won't work.
Let the kid play to his strength, that's what real coaches are supposed to do.
Btw, you referring to it as "Mickey Mouse stuff" tells me you've never coached or played against it.
