One thought watching CFB all day



This is after Stanford but for the people who keep seeing we need to run outside more..we did it 63% of the time week1. And we saw it vs famu alot too. We aren’t ever going to abandon duo or inside zone lol

That’s fair but Philip Rivers used his hard count, moved his RB to read what the defense was doing and got his offense into a better play call. Not always but man, watching him play last season reminded me of the years of Kurt Warner, Dan Marino, Peyton, Brady, Big Ben, Rodgers, Brees, Romo, Eli, McNabb, Carson Palmer, even Chad Pennington, etc. It’s drastically different than what we see now with it being more dependent on these up and coming offensive minded coaches who do all/most the mental work pre-snap. I’m not claiming to be a QB guru, just my observations, correct me if I’m wrong.

Coaching has gotten worse and teams are too lazy to actually develop a QB. instead of letting QB’s sit and learn without pressure for a year or two (which is what produced the top end of the QB play you’re talking about), guys are getting hung out to dry on Day 1 with no supporting cast, and even worse coaching. Half the coaches are unsuccessful retreads who keep getting shorts for god knows what reason.

I agree with this take, especially throwing young QBs on the field too soon. For some reason, no one has decided to follow the Packers way. We’ll see how long the Raiders keep Mendoza on the bench.

You're correct. The other thing many people miss is that whether it's IZ or OZ, the RB has a particular read. If they make an incorrect read and go A gap when the read and blocking indicated C gap, that's on the RB not the coordinator.

If you watch the film review of the playoffs the error rate from the blocking or RB vision was much higher when they tried to get creative or run outside. Got stuffed on a Malicat 3rd down against Ole Miss that was open with a proper block, missed a huge Fletcher run that was there against Indiana in the first half, aTm game was messy everywhere.

IIRC Damien Martinez had an issue with the scheme in the beginning of 2024 and then his vision and feel got much better later in the year and he stopped missing holes as often.
