We can clown McCloud a million times for this play, and rightfully so, but I still have to question coaching and preparation.
We see this same exact concept in high school all the time. Somehow I got 16-18 year old kids who cover that H-back coming across the formation, but an 8th year Senior LB in major D1 football can't see it?
That H-back is a vital part of that formation and more often than not, he crosses the formation to block and/or run a route. We teach our LB's to key that guy, even if he's on the other side of the formation. Where's McCloud's eye discipline?
I'm really tired of seeing **** like this because we're getting nickel-and-dimed to death by simple a$$ ****. OC's must laugh at us after watching game film. We look so ill prepared for a lot of basic concepts. We're never "DIALED IN". This isn't the first time I've seen our LB's running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
A LB's feet can tell you everything you need to know.
Your feet follow your eyes. If his feet are all over the place, that means his eyes are too. (translation: he doesn't know WTF is going on)
How do we continue to look ill prepared for simple a$$ concepts?
Why are we so easy to fool?
Same **** we saw in the VT game last year when we let their TE have a career day.
**** is frustrating.
