Dan Orlovsky Interview

“There’s nothing balanced about 50% run-50% pass, ’cause that’s 50% stupid. What is balance is when you have five skill positions and all five of them are contributing to the effort in somewhat equal fashion — that’s balance. This notion that if you hand one guy 50% of the time and then you throw it to a combination of two guys the other 50% that you’re really balanced. You probably pat yourself on the back and tell yourself that. People have been doing that for decades. Well, then you’re delusional.”

He just showed a clip of the colts using a 13 set dagger one concept using spray technique and hb motion just to create the mismatch. I fell out. Like the nice old lady at church when the Pastor brings the Holy Ghost Heat.

Despite my better judgement, this guy is growing on me.

Had a chance to interview Dan Orlovsky today and I wanted to just drop some nuggets in here before the interview comes out tomorrow on the OBB podcast. Orlovsky is obviously the ESPN analyst who called our Georgia Tech game and provided a very honest assessment of the Hurricane offense that night. He was a great interview and continued his candid assessment during the interview.

When asked about his opinion on N'kosi Perry he added that he throws with anticipation and that he could tell he was a freshman at times on film. He provided a brilliant illustration using pictures to recall defenses and the insight was very informative.

Orlovsky was also asked if he felt Miami had the "talent." He instantly provided names like Homer, DeeJay, Jordan and Thomas. He wasn't shy in stating his case. He also said that football's balance has evolved more than just a 50/50 run to pass ratio. That balance should mean touches (no matter in what fashion) to your play makers.

We talked about that 95 yard drive and I specifically asked him if calling the same play on third down three times was a benefit for the quarterback (familiarity) or a flat out disadvantage. His answer was classic. Let's just say he recalled his NFL coordinators and a middle finger.

I also asked Orlovsky how Miami's offense compared nationally. I can certainly say that I am a big fan of Dan's and for those who haven't followed Orlovsky on social media outlets to do so. He has an effortless way of breaking down the game and is constantly putting out NFL and college clips that are X/O gold. He is the Jedi Master I'm just the padawan.

"Book it" Dano

Love his end quote. I would honestly love to hear Richt’s explanation for lack of motion and pace. I tend to think it’s a trust issue (perhaps he thinks we’d have even more procedure penalties). I think it’s indefensible in this era of offense.

Yeah I loved that answer. Offenses should take advantage with at least personnel, formation and pace.
I honestly can't say we game plan to week to week to get Brevin Jordan mismatched "consistently" on anyone. I have called for stacks and bunches from this offense for years. (Mainly to combat our issues vs man and to help identify the defense) and Miami has used pace to great effect at times. (Last year Ap state)

I appreciate the interview. Its just.. We're going to hear it (myself included) & he's going to confirm what we already know. Which is going to get us even more ****ed at Richt.

I can't understand why its so hard for Richt to simply acknowledge his plays or his play calling are an issue. They are BOTH THE issue. But he can't even admit its one or the other? He can't even say.. Ok maybe that was a bad call?

When EVERYONE but him agrees on what the problem is, there is something seriously wrong. Richt needs a **** intervention.

The first paragraph is gold and so true. He has to know the noise and there has to be changes, right?!?!

Richts offense is the phone booth in the age of the smart phone...

Yeah...my memory of phone booths is torn and shredded phone books, if they even had phonebooks. I remember trying to go thru those torn-up mangled phonebooks squinting to find the name and number...reminds me of Richt squinting at his crib sheets trying to find plays to call.
 
Just one word: "archaic."

That's all he had to say.

Richt saying, "We call plays that have worked for thirty years..."

How can you change a mentality like that? You can't. He will never delegate well to someone with whom he disagrees.

It's hopeless.
