Gotcha, and I'm focused on the blocking scheme also...looks like power to me without a lead blocker.
As I mentioned in another thread, I anticipate that, offensively, we'll heavily rely on Kaaya progressing to his next level, which means lots of 3WR and 4WR looks. From the run game, even out of those sets, I'd really like to see more use of this:
In other words, the inside zone run game. I think Yearby is perfectly suited as a "short-area burst" type back to make the most of it. His cutback ability is obviously elite. His vision is excellent. And, he's put on the necessary weight to withstand some punishment.
*If anyone can edit that gif to just appear on the post, that'd be helpful. I can't seem to get it to work from my current comp.
Well the fact that Kaaya cant run 1/2 as well as Marshall does, makes this thread irrelevant.

You should consider reading through the thread. I'm not talking about QB/RB action. I'm talking about inside zone blocking. Either this board forgot how to comprehend, or just refuses to accept that inside zone run schemes DO NOT mean you have to run the option read. In fact, we ran a good amount of inside zone with Mike James.
Relevance back on.
sometimes peoples dont want to listen or comprehend. they become thick and pigheaded, ya know.
Let me clarify: it's not about the play I linked, which involves the QB running as an option. It's about the blocking scheme in it. Watch the OL.
Gus' best play is actually outside zone. Despite the misconceptions about him being a 'big back,' he's really just a 'big athlete' who does his best work in a one cut scenario.
Yes, I actually think this year's OL is very well-suited for inside and outside zone plays. I'm more concerned about their strength and experience with the power run plays for which I usually encourage. I trust guys like McDermott (if he ends up inside at LG) and Linder to be able to work together with the combo blocks necessary in an inside zone scheme. I think Isidora is actually better suited as a "chip and get to the second level" guy than he is as a power run guy.
We'll see what Coley has in mind, but one thing I've been weary of during his tenure is his 'grab bag' type of playcalling, as well as curious playcalls pursuant to the skill sets of his units. I understand Duke was a fantastic zone runner, but I thought our OL was often best suited for power run plays last year and the year prior.
Pertaining to the offense what kind of numbers do you guys see Coley putting up?
Lu, you think this years Oline will be effective enough at the point of attack to run a play effectively?
This is my concern, as well. My fear is that we will be forced to go with Gus more than I'd like because of holes in the O line depth.
but Gus is horrible if he has to stop and start in the backfield, which presumably would happen alot with a ****** OL
Yeah, Edwards is a downhill runner all the way, he's not Fred Astaire. That's not his game
Regarding the questionable Oline, I think one way to mitigate that is to go more no-huddle, up-tempo and basically let Kaaya run the show, controlling things and with an emphasis on getting the ball out of his hands quickly
