RBs tipping playcall

JayCane20 said:
That has been part of it. They expect the huddle to break at 10-12 on the playclock and ball snapped at 3 or less.

Haven't practiced the victory formation though. Hopefully that was on today's plan

Can some of you insiders tell us if the team practiced victory formation today?

If so, how did they look? Crisp, or uninspired? More importantly, who was the deep back in the formation? Gotta be someone the coaches trust. It’s up to that guy to prevent a deadly scoop & score if the snap is fumbled before the QB can get a knee down.

Somehow this is worse than the actual decision to run it.

If u wanted the team to have your back u simply tell them its my job to put u in the best position and that was taking a knee to win and I didn’t. All this other **** just showing how prideful he is, he doesn’t see his game day coaching mistakes

I've been rewatching the game today. At the end of the 3rd quarter ACCN reporter got a quick minute with Mario. One of the few things he said to her was that "we have to have ball security"......

You guys who are brave enough to rewatch the game have bigger cojones than me. Way too soon for me if ever to rewatch that 💩

I don't know. Besides the RBs tipping the play, our offense has gotten to the point where it's so predictable we don't need the position of the RB to know what's coming. Everybody in the stadium and on TV who has watched Miami play a game after game 4 knows what is coming.

Is it first down? It's an HB dive right up the middle, regardless of how many are in the box.

Old man Cam is split out wide? It's a pass. Ignore him; the ball isn't going to him anyway. It's now 11 vs 10.

maybe i'm missing something, but each playcall should have specific alignment for personnel irrespective of which players are in the game. I don't understand how there is/could be vast variation in where RBs line up on a given play. Could there by a more subtle tell? Sure. But what's being discussed here seems doesn't make any sense.

One RB was lining up deeper than the others was the jist of it.

As I posted earlier in the thread it was supposedly a timing/preference thing. It’s all relative but the trend helped GT due to playcalling because we abandoned RPO and play action that day. My guess is looking too much into their run D and assuming we were just going to run down their throats at will and it didn’t go that way.

again, this makes no sense.

Different RBs should be the same distance from center on a given play-call, and we should have run/pass plays from the same alignment; otherwise it's a tell, which should be evident in self-scouting and film review if not immediately real-time during play.

For someone as detail-oriented as Mario this shouldn't happen; especially on his side of the ball.

If Cam is split out or in the slot, especially in a bunch formation, that means there's a 99% chance of a screen to that side of the formation. If they ever throw a WR screen to the other side of the field, it's a guaranteed touchdown because everyone just runs to where the 6th lineman is lined up.

Not necessarily. You align based on how quick you can get to the mesh point and how wide your steps are or what movements you make and how long it takes to get where you need to be when you need to be there. One RB can be different from the other. However, they should always align at that depth and not dependent on pass protect assignments or run play. Fletcher does align that way Parrish is or has been different based on playcall.

Got a tip passed onto me from an analyst at GT - went back and watched a few drives in the condensed game to see for myself and it is pretty clear

Henry Parrish tips the playcall (run or pass) by his alignment almost every snap. If he's aligned with TVD it's a pass. Every time he's deep behind it is a run. Every pistol alignment I saw was a run. There are a few instances where he's somewhere in the middle like a half step behind and almost every time that was the case you could tell GT had to read the play and we hit a good pass play or he was a more effective runner - including the big pass to Restrepo, big pass to Young, Parrish's 18 yard TD run that got called back.

Chaney doesn't tip as much with his alignment. He's almost always a half step behind TVD. He did get deep a few times and it was a run and he did move up a time or 2 but it was clear passing downs anyway. Makes you wonder if that is why he was so much more effective running compared to Parrish on Saturday.

**** I sure hope UM coaches know this. It would be coaching incompetence why This has not been fixed. What about Clemson and VA games?
