Is The Lack of Motion Killing Our Offense?

And giving them something else to account for, they can’t just leave a man unaccounted or they will get burned on a play so it gives them extra responsibilities to defend rather then having no misdirection and going straight at them like we do allowing them just to key in

This would have help Perry vs UVA since the cavaliers disguised their coverage

I’ve said this multiple times, it makes no sense to run a no huddle offense and not use motion to 1. Get a better idea of defensive coverage and 2. Make the lbs change focus and open up our inside run game.

It makes even less sense because Richt so clearly loves running inside zone, this simple change would probably make a difference in 1-2 yards per carry which over a whole game is massive

After watching Purdue serve up a beatdown on Ohio State, it was clearly evident how much motion in an offense affects the defense. Purdue was able to use their speedy slot wide receiver freshman Rondale Moore (who ironically wears #4) in motion to not only gain an advantage in the the passing game, but the running game as well. Moore ran jet sweeps, crossing and rub routes for nearly 200 yards of offense.

As commented by ESPN's Kurt Herbstreit, the motion of the slot receiver changes the eye level for the line backers and safeties allowing Purdue's RB DJ Knox to gash OSU for huge gains and two house calls from 40+.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why coach Richt doesn't utilize motion in his offense. It's a rule that gives the offense an advantage over the defense and our coach doesn't take advantage of it.

Another team that uses motion heavily in their offense is Clemson. Similarly to Purdue, Clemson uses motion to change eye level creating huge holes in their read option running game. In the passing game, motion allows their WRs to get behind the safeties for deep gains because, for a split second, the safeties are staring in the backfield at the slot receiver wondering if he's going to run a jet sweep while the WRs blow by on go and post routes. Anyone remember Clemson's touchdowns in the ACC Championship game last year?



I am 100% convinced that the lack of motion in the Canes offense is killing us or at least hurting us. IMO, motion in the offense would open holes for our RBs, help out our offensive line, and creates even bigger holes in the secondary for our WRs.

The problem is motion is a 20 year old concept and we’re running 30 year old ones so maybe in 10 years we’ll be ready to use these exotic concepts more

Don't be short sighted. This team would have another LSU bludgeon if they played Ohio State

It was one of those any given Saturday type of loses. Just one of those games that everything went right for the Foilermakers and everything went wrong for the Cuckeyes. However, even though Urb is a total scumbag, he will go down as a legendary coach.

Bring back Dennis Erickson

Interesting. I'm beginning to understand another post by Roman on keybusters, what are, I believe, the same thing as keybreakers.

The old Redskin running attack of the mid-80's with John Riggins was the basis for Dennis Erickson's running attack. One of Dennis' offensive assistants, said in an Herald interview that they watched tons of Redskins film in designing that Washington State offense. They had a phenomenal passing attack with Timm Rosenbach. Dennis had TWO 1000 yard rushers on the same team at WSU the year before he came to Miami.

I know that the counter-trey was the core of the Redskin running attack. I don't know if that is based on misdirection, but I'm wondering if that is the same thing Roman is talking about when he talks about keybusters. In other words, you can no longer read the guards to find out where the play is going. Roman is suggesting I think this concept is missing from our offense now.

Without it, I guess the offense is way too predictable. Without motion, it becomes an even more simple-minded offense.

I'd like to know what is on Richt's cheat sheet that he carries around all game. If he's doing the same thing for 30 years,vwhy dies he even need it?
 
Rix doesn't like to try and fool the defense. He'd rather the defense know what's coming and try and execute despite that. Been working since Charlie Ward

FSU shifts and motions on pretty much every play. Doesn't mean **** if your offense can't execute and your line can't block anybody.

Lack of forward motion.
 
Motion can also help you create a mismatch for one of your WR.
Possibly get him matched up against a LB. It also helps clear out areas and create numerical advantages...but we don’t do that.

So what you're saying is...if Purdue can beat OSU then Miami can.

What it means is, you need to actually execute to succeed. All the window dressing in the world doesn't mean anything if you don't block.

So we shouldn’t do something that could create positive mismatches for the offense, help identify what coverage the defense is in and in turn help the offense execute?
 
You would think if every day fans are thinking this it would be pinnacle in game planning.

This would be a bold inspired change.

Great question no doubt 👍

We scored 13 points against a juggernaut va team. How many will we score against a star studded Ohio team? Purdue has an offense that we dream of, so don’t give me a rebuttal that Purdue beat them we can , too... ahh NO, our defense will be gassed by the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Get a QUALIFIED OC, then we can talk. We have the horses, but no stablemate to care for them.
@MiamiHotline I agree with you.
