Eye opening quote from Mallory

[Go Canes!!]

If this is the case, our QBs to have to play smart and have the ability to change plays.

Hopefully defenses wont have same ability. Seemed last year our plays were being called from other teams huddle.

Same formation doesn't mean the same play.

There is something to be said for simplifying an offense to the point where your players are not thinking so much as they are just doing. Only hope is that with the limited formations we don't get to predictable with our calls. Looking at SMU last year and that never seemed to be the case but just something I will be interested to see.

Maybe it’s simple now, you need a foundation to build off of.
Especially when installing a new offense in spring

If it wasn't the case at SMU no reason to think it'll be more predictable here. If any D coordinator does a good job of figuring out Lashlee's tendencies I think he's good enough to make adjustments but we'll see.

We'll see how the season goes, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little apprehensive about all of the simple/easy offense talk.

 

[Empirical Cane]

"Complex" formations and play calling are a touch overrated. Per the rule sets, there are only so many ways a team can come to the LoS and snap the ball to start a play.

Same thing with "exotic" blitz packages.

Laughable.

Except against FAU.

They had 425 yards against SMU.

I would tend to agree, my only worry is that with the change in conference and theoretically "Better" coaching, maybe they catch on quicker. I'm not saying it will happen but anytime I hear players start talking about how easy things are I get a little weary. Probably won't be a big deal as Lashlee has coached at higher levels as well and had successes but still, just something I'll be curious to see.

Agree... we did not need all that crazy motion and entire formation reconfigure either. Send a RB out wide, call him back in, you will be able to tell Zone or Man. Don't need all that extra ish.

Exotic looks on D I think have more of a benefit. Also, if we can run 25 different plays out of each individual formation, I believe that is harder for a D to figure out than having a bunch of different formations.

This is a byproduct of pace. The problem with Richt was that he was simple without pace.

 

[For_The_U]

Are we still clapping?

 

[The Franchise]

Give me simple and playing lightning fast over complex and bogged down in thought. Spread em out, snap the ball, and get the ball to the playmakers. If you’re trying too hard to confuse the defense you’ll likely be confusing your own guys in the process.

There’s a difference between simple and predictable. Richt’s offense was so watered down, it resembled a JV high school playbook. I’m of the opinion that he was trying to do what Lashlee does but he didn’t know how to and had nobody on staff to help him.

 

[dodaniels]

That's empty calories. FAU stomped SMU 52-28, minus their HC and 4 starters.

 

[DTP]

Probably, yes. That’s pretty much how QBs tell the center they’re ready for the snap in modern football. It’s not some strange phenomenon. Every team does that.

It was a beat down but I don’t think Lashlee was calling the defense in that game. I mean if scoring 28 is the low point for your offense, I’ll be cool with that.
