Pick/Rub Routes

[iLoveTDs]

Here's one of my biggest gripes about our passing game. We hardly run any rub or pick routes at all. The times we have run em, we usually get a big play from it. With Jeff Thomas and Berrios this should be a staple of our offense.

Here's UNC against us on a 3rd and 5 running a simple pick play.

We ran one against Duke (after a timeout- I think Richt saw it was there) for a TD.

10:50 minute mark

And we ran a wheel/rub route against Syracuse for a big gain. Notice the bottom of your screen. Hartley was wide open as well as Herndon. This is a well designed play. More of it please.

When I re-watch our games and focus solely on our WRs, I notice that for the most part they aren't very precise in their route running. We don't cut hard or put much effort into jab stepping the CBs away. The one exception = Jeff Thomas's TD catch. That's how it's done).

And yall wanna know why Herndon doesn't get the ball much? Go watch how awful he runs routes. It's really bad.

I'd like to see more finesse in our route running, and more creativity in our passing attack. There's nothing wrong with having a simple approach offensively, but you've got to design plays to get your speed guys open in the middle of the field. We don't do a lot of that from what I've seen.

LuCane, are you seeing the same thing?

People have been begging for more mesh, rub routes to get easy completions and get guys in space.

Richt has to see that it's there with our talent, right?

I don't get it. It's such a simple concept - easy to teach and install. In fact, I know it's in our playbook, he just doesn't go to it much.

You really want our 6'1 attrition candidate qb throwing short passes over the middle of the field with 7 million lbs and dbs waiting like hungry lions for the inevitable overthrow and pick six? Are you drunk?

Good post.

IMO, our routes don't build off each other. Very few threaten all 3 levels of the field.

Results in Rosier having to fit the ball in tight windows. Yesterday that didn't go very well.

The more they run them, the more likely they call Offensive PI. Rubs are usually high risk/high reward plays

lol there are receivers running wild on every play yet you want to blame Richt for Rosiers **** poor decision making. Dumb.

When you’re offense is stalling and going three and out for consecutive series... time to start taking some risks. If not a rub what about a shallow cross to Richards like in The Duke game. That was about as easy a td a Qb could get.

This is such a lie. I just re-watched the UNC game in it's entirety, focusing only on offense/WRs and there were not WRs running wild. In fact, our WRs rarely created any separation.

Go watch it for yourself. JT created separation on his big play, and Berrios got open a few times... but Rosier definitely had small windows to throw into all game.

They are rarely called Off PI. I watch CFB games every weekend and every-time in the country runs these routes. It's an easy way to create separation.

Because it isn’t used often. If you do it often enough(and what you’re suggesting will make it often enough) DC’s will then tell their CB’s to pretend to try to get out of the way, get hit, and complain...they’ll throw it every time.

Go watch Louisville play. They run em all game.

I'd love for the 10th assistant to come from Petrino's offensive coaching tree.

This. Petrino runs them all game. One reason his offense is always good is it seems like Qb is always making easy completions.

After 9 years of marriage I can't get wifey to perform a rub route on me either.

Have you watched the All-22 Film?

 

[swampcougar1]

One of the best pick plays this year was, I believe it was Homer, using the official as the pick man. Official could not throw flag on himself. Still laugh every time I think about that play

 

[edge]

I would love to see one or two wide open completions a game. You watch these highlights of Oklahoma state and Oklahoma each week and the receivers are so open you don't even see a defender on the screen.

Don't need the all 22 film to watch the short passing game. Show me some rub routes that we've run and I'll concede.
