@LuCane sort of it explained it already. It'd be nice to use our TE's as more than decoys and with a complete route tree In formations that take advantage of mismatches.
Those formations, imo, are the traditional 12 personnel sets that would target the LB's and safeties in coverage against our Two beasts rather than flex them out wide and have them work outside the hashes against guys with a clear speed advantage.
It's clearly something Richt has implemented. We saw it in the App game and it's been confirmed we've seen it in practice.
This is but one way to mix and modify a pro style system to achieve success; there are a near endless variety of alternatives. That is why I thought that it was important for someone to explain what a pro style offense is so that people will understand what it can do. Based on the early reactions by the fan base most people saw little difference in production and therefore related what Richt was trying to do to what they have seen from OC's such as Coley. And that is way off base.
Good deal by LuCane that is what I was hoping to get out of this thread.
Yes, Lu made good points and I agree with him. I just don't agree with the people who think the game has passed Mark Richt.
We DO NOT beat App State if that was the case.
But, as it has been stated, we will see this Saturday
I didn't make any of those conclusions about whether or not the game has passed Richt by. I go by what I see and try to stay on topic.
My posts since the game are rooted in what we saw on Saturday, what I know they've done in practice and what I wished we had seen. Richt has his reasons, I'm sure, for his playcalls. He said himself he was "rusty" and probably went to the RPO too much. Personally, I just wanted to see stuff inside the hashes more and I know it's available in his 12 personnel.
Since then, I made a proposal for what I hope to see going forward. It's found here: https://www.canesinsight.com/thread/proposal-offense/103316
Gladly take any critique or suggestions there. After all, not like it'll make any real difference in what we do!
May I ask what kind of stuff you saw from our offense in practice? Just curious.
For one, Njoku was used out of the slot more effectively on in-turning routes and vertical. I outright expected that after I saw UNC's Trubisky rip throws down FSU's seams even against 2-deep Safeties. We also used Njoku out of the slot in more than just trips formations. Presented nice matchups. I haven't reviewed every play, so I'm not sure we've come out with it yet. I won't be too detailed beyond that.
