“No one gave us a chance”

Normally compleltely overused yawn inducing nonsense that every team says

This time it’s actually true
I’m going to laugh if opening series they go 3 and out and we easily push them around for a god forbid if there are any IU fans around me that happens

Offense:
- No gimmicks. They won't work.
- Work the outside run.
- I'd advise against the screens.
- No false starts from the usual suspects.
- Throw to the tightend.
- Carson needs to run.

Defense:
- Our secondary vs their passing attack is probably the worst match-up from any game all season. If we don't play aggressively, they will saunter down the field in 6 plays. Mendozas autistic laser accuracy is hand-designed to destroy our secondary.
- Dont whiff on sacks.
- Account for the tightend.

Ultimately Dawson getting cute, coverage weaknesses, and stupid penalties are our kryptonite.

Address those and we win.

On the back shoulder fade throw.

1. You have to have big receivers. That throw doesn’t work for smaller WRs like Toney.

2. DBs are taught to be on top of routes to take away the deep routes. So when you are against a QB that is great at purposely under throwing the ball, that’s problematic for the DB.

3. The best defense is to have big physical corners. The key to stopping the back shoulder fade is for the DB to be able to “feel” the WR. Feel him slow down, feel him turn his body, feel him put his hands up.

4. The back shoulder fade is truly a 50/50 ball. The offense will get theirs and the defense will get theirs. But when will the “getting” be? If the DBs get theirs on third down, it’s punting season.

50/50, man. Our physical corners vs their big WRs.

Man, stopping the backshoulder throw is tough. I agree that you have to get physical with the WR but it's such a hard pass to defend for the DB because of the positioning of the WR which essentially blocks the DB from making a play on the ball.

I think you try to disrupt the timing by v getting hands on the WR at LOS and when the WR tries to break on the ball the CB should get grabby(hopefully the refs aren't flag happy).
