Fast break offense is back. Richt wants to go uptempo

[Gatorhater]

As long as we do not do that "check with me" crap. That just makes "fast" slow anyway. Brad should be perfect with Mark for this. Good brain.

he has said repeatedly that the "check with me" crap removes the advantage of fast tempo and that he wont use or require it.

I always thought Mark was a smart man.

A faster tempo will help our 3rd down conversion rate too because it'll stop all the constant defensive substitutions and packages and will keep the defense on its heels. When you give defenses and defensive coaches too much time to prep for every play they're going to do a better job stopping you.

If the O can manage to commit under 25 penalties/game it would maybe help tempo as well.

Couldn't hurt.

Love going fast. It'll make teams burn their timeouts like Randy Shannon with 10 minutes left in the first quarter.

Another-nother thing that a faster tempo will do is slow down a pass rush and mask some of our OL deficiencies - as will the overall "shallow cross" concepts that Richt loves to employ in the passing games (short drops, quick reads, etc.)

Petrino annilihated Shannon with that many years ago in the OB. We couldn't get to LeFors or Brohm in that game despite our awesome DL. He took 3 step drops all night and just picked us apart with those shallow crossing patterns. Gave everyone for the rest of that season a blue print to fck us.

Yeah... all facts..

I saw UNC/Fedora neutralize Clowney and co. with the same method.

I hope our back ups can run it as good..

They'll have to learn. It's what backups do.

We shall see. You know how important I think this would be. Crisp, clean playcalling plus an increased tempo? At least we'd know we're playing to win again. The players/talent will come around.

Thing is, I'm not sure we'll see it in the first couple of games. I still think we're gonna see lots of I-form, playaction stuff vs. FAMU and FAU (and maybe App. St. as well) - I'm really curious as to what our full offense will look like in mid-October...

If you want to hide plays and personnel groupings until games that matter I get. I don't see the benefit of staying away from tempo until App State or GT. Tempo it appears won't be a throw the other team off sort of thing. He wants to play that way a great deal. Why not get your guys comfortable doing it in games you don't expect to be challenged?

Agree we're going to save stuff. Not sure tempo is one of them. That has to be rehearsed. It's not like we're keeping it a surprise anyway. He's saying it in the media.

 

[Notsince1985]

Most of the play-calling won’t come Saturdays. During the week, he’ll set up a section on his play sheet for his favorite personnel groupings, favorite formations and a section for " dudes, guys who are ballers and playmakers who I got to have some plays for. " Richt might script as many as 10 series, often times the first five plays with a handful of third-down options depending on the distance.

Richt has a section in his playbook for Ballers.

Thought everyone would be in agreement that this is a great thing. Alas, there's still a good amount of stupid in this thread especially early on. Couldn't be happier about this.

If true it's the best news we've heard in a long time. Exhaust opponents,and take advantage of your biggest strengths--a Heisman caliber QB and enormous pass catching talent.

Somewhere along the way under Butch David our fans became convinced that UM should be a power based team that slows the game down and pounds the run. That's not really playing to our recruiting strength any more than Folden's fat slow reactionary defense played to our strengths.

I'd be sick to my stomach to see Richt go out there with a Heisman QB and try to take the fcking air out of the ball. He'd be showing me right away that he doesn't really get what this program should be about.

Do you see Clemson taking the air out of the ball with Watson? Time for UM to quit playing scared and trying to grind out 3 point wins and sneak out the back door.

short passes and let the playmakers do the work. when S creep up then go upstairs. Keep it simple and keep is moving.

:q3XKXeX:

you'll see it. It's gonna be like Oregon but with more power. It's who we're gonna be. If you know anything about Richt's time at FSU then you wouldn't have made this comment. It's who dude is. He's a savage and I fully expect 60pts against FAMU. Can't wait.

 

[Pearson704]

against another team and with starters mixed in? Yea. Kaaya is the catalyst.

Biggest reason OU lost to UF. Stoops outsmarted himself with that crap. Changed the whole complexion of his offense and the game.

 

[bbcane]

So no more the head coach complaining the offense scores to fast ???

Correct. OU was working them early and for some unknown reason Poops decided to slow everything to a crawl.

FAST BREAK OFFENSE!!!!

That's just what we need with a completely gutted defense
