The Ole Miss Thread

CreativeCane said:
Sorry if already discussed—I haven't been keeping up with the thread—but how do Ole Miss' receivers stack up compared to TAMU and OSU? I keep hearing about how the guys Chambliss throws to during the scramble plays and how our secondary will struggle to cover them. Haven't followed Ole Miss enough to know, but I feel our secondary has stood tall this year (pass rush definitely a factor).

The receivers are good and they're fast. Absolutely nothing in the realm of what we just faced against OSU. Probably a step down from what A&M has. They have pretty good hands. They can get open fast, which is what they rely on. And when things break down they're hard to follow.

That being said, Chambliss is one of those guys that can drop a dime or will miss any receiver on the field by 15 yards. He's not really that consistently accurate. He reminds me a lot of Byrum Brown, a better version but fairly close.

Some people think we shouldn’t blitz, same as we did against A&M and Ohio State…

But we did that for specific reasons. We didn’t blitz Ohio st because their qb couldn’t escape/evade our DLine and wasn’t a run threat. We didn’t blitz Reed because we feared his run threat and we specifically didn’t fear him as a passer to be accurate at all.

In this game however, Chambliss is an experienced starter who will take the quick passes and will evade guys in the backfield and allow his WRs to get open deep. And I don’t think he’s missing wide open guys like Reed.. so imo the equation is different. If we are constantly only bringing 4 it is requiring our DLine to contain and more importantly constantly chase him down scrambling around. It’s not so much that I’m worried about our Chambliss being elite, more so I’d be worried about him and their pace significantly tiring out our DLine. I’d rather lbs and DBs blitz and be the guys chasing him while DLine is condensing the pocket and stopping the run (the real slept on key to this game imo)

I think you feel out their gameplan. Rush 4 early on, stay in your rush lanes, and get your hands up. You knock down a few balls and watch Chambliss move outside the pocket and run into a few sacks on his own.

That is something I saw on the statistical breakdown I did - Chambliss seemed to have a lot of batted balls…

Very talented, top 3 all transfers.. lol.. But statistically very good wr core, they spread the ball around. #2 Wallace is the main guy from Penn St. Leads them in receptions and yards (57 rec, 894 yards 4 TDs), started out the year hot then kinda trailed off. Had a big game against UGA last week. Returns the punts also but they dont really seem to care about returning them, just get offense on field. But he has bobbled a few and muffed one.

Next is #1 Stribling was at Wash st. and then Okie St.(50 rec. 734 yards 6 tds), got a lil push back because I compared to Jamarr Chase but he have that same strong build, at 6'1 200 and he can run away from defense. Like he is pulling away from guys. To me watching their games he is their break glass in emergency type, he been coming on late in season. #11 Duece is Wake transfer (43 rec. 677 yards 2 TDs), smaller speedster type definitely #3 in pecking order.







#19 Cayden Lee (39 rec 568 Yards 3 TDs), Smaller slot type, he tends to get lost and hits teams with rpos up the seam, or choice routes, pivots, drags, Drag and go type routes, he took a beating in UGA game. #8 Wright is TE (36 rec 571 yards 4 TDs), another annoying player lol. He gets lost easily on bootlegs and gets catches like that, they look for him to convert on spot routes on 3rd down and also near goalline. He can catch passes in flats and if he lines up in backfield with QB, he will lead block for QB runs. Good player. Odom is second TE, Was a miami recruit, I think he picked bama, more like jumbo WR type, still looks like that.. #17 Watkins is freshman WR they get him some reps here and there, he has made plays thru season but more in support role.

it's a long watch ... but florida has a solid dline and you can take a few things from the game
ole miss outgained uf 538 to 326 ... lacy went for 200+ on the ground ... chambliss threw for 300+ ... and they only won by 10 ... at home ... take it a step further they were down 24-20 after three quarters ... uf had 11 possession, ole miss had 10

what struck me is uf got home for 5 sacks and some of it was done with pressures similar to ours using their dbs ... the also had 7 tackles for loss ... obviously the negative plays get negated with more possessions ... but that's a risky game to play vs us as we're known to squeeze clock ... uf had one possession over 5 minutes ... we had 3 vs. ohio state, with one possession eating 8 minutes of clock ... and all three possession ending in points ... ijs

I’m not sure if anyone picked up on it but just realized how Keionte jumped the screen pass.

For people who know ball, this is an unbalanced look (4 receiving threats to the field side). In order to accommodate that, Jeremiah Smith has to be on the ball (so they don’t have 5 guys in the backfield and an ineligible formation) to make himself ineligible (can’t have two receiving threats on the ball on same side) (players yell out “dead, dead dead) meaning he’s an ineligible receiver and can’t go downfield or run a route. With that in mind, your only 2 receiving threats are outside receiver and Innis. Keionte’s focus shifts to Innis with this in mind and once you see the TE go in rocket motion, you know he’s just blocking.

Keionte’s coverage shifts to Innis and he knows he has help overtop now with Smith ineligible so he can be ultra aggressive on anything he sees (don’t have to worry about screen and go). Once he sees Innis bubble, he can jump it right away which is why you see the anticipation.

Much much more of a football iq play from him than a film thing I’d bet and just a bad play call to have in for Day against a pressed corner. Shoutout to Heatherman for having his guys recognize it, but that’s what Keionte is telling Jakobe/Bryce pre-play (that Smith is ineligible)

He had a great interview today where he explains the play

He is the 2nd interview I believe but there are all great.
