Coley offense is bubble screens and random isolation routes from random alignments. The only genuine route concept I've seen him use regularly is the smash concept (vertical stretch, Cover 2 beater) which got Waters a TD against UF in 2013 but UF was in man coverage anyway. The smash concept is a Jimbo staple.
I do like the way Coley features the TE with lots of option routes -stick, seam, or flat routes. I could be wrong but it looks like we used the mesh concept in the red zone on the Dobard TD [video=youtube;0_lMbyesCqI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_lMbyesCqI[/video]
, so perhaps Coley has been watching Chip Kelly film. Kaaya would be a surgeon in a Chip Kelly offense.
This is the issue I've been harping on. If I'm a Safety playing against our offense, I breathe a little easier. And, that's pretty much the opposite of what you want a Safety to feel. Doesn't mean we won't hit some big shots, nor does it mean we can't do well. It just means you're likely failing to produce consistency and will struggle against zone. Zones generally need to be busted by route combinations.
We'll see, probably starting against Nebraska, if he's evolved.
