Scott would be fine if you're convinced an Oregon copycat offense is the way to go.
But we had a formula that worked for 40 years. Wisconson just used that formula to beat the piss out of us . . . again. We've been flopping around like a fish out of water since we abandoned what made us great. Bring back smashmouth football.
This^^^
Personally I don't want an Oregon offense or west coast or whate'er the hell sling the ball around BS works for many teams. I want to be Wisconsin, Minnesota, Stanford.....I want to get back to lining up and shove the ball down somebody's f'ing throat. And I want them to know exactly what we're going to do to them and they still can't stop it. If we can't get back to that, well, I'll never be fully invested again. Billy C. screwed that up and this current, be multiple, take what they give us BS, screw that. We need to take what we want and leave the f'ing bodies in our wake.
i'd be happy just to utilize tight ends more.
Per Beck they are obsolete:
CN: Would you say tight ends and fullbacks are becoming obsolete in college football?
TB: Absolutely. The game's become more athletic. It's almost basketball on grass. I think when you- back in the day- if when you think of it, all the way around: concussions. There are fewer practices. The NFL only has so many days in full pads. It's almost like, "No hitting with the head, no this, no that", no late hit, throw the guy out, protecting the players.
All these things that are developing, don't get me wrong, they're good things, but it shows the game is making a change to becoming less physical. They're trying to get it to be less physical by the rules and the regulations, again, for safety because guys are bigger, stronger, faster.
So it's turned in to more basketball on grass, and as schematics, if you have four legitimate wide receivers lined up, you have to cover ‘em, so you wanna have no help? Play what we call Cover Zero and there's nobody helping?
You have seven guys in the box and four guys covering four guys. You have one guy helping? You have six guys in the box and play man to man with one guy helping or if you have two guys helping you have five guys in the box.
That's it. There's nothing else they can do. So it actually cleans up the picture, and it cleans up what the defense, how they can line up, when that happens, so the more guys you have in there (in the box), the more they can put in there, and the more they can move those guys around. The more you spread ‘em out, the more they have to spread out to cover them, and the less they can move those guys around and some of those guys can't cover that guy. You know what I mean? That's why they game is turning into that more.
Or this awesome gem.......
CornNation (Ty): When you look at your playbook, and the plays that you have as an offensive coordinator, what do you consider your bread and butter type plays?
Tim Beck: Defenses have really changed over the years in college football, just like offenses. Offenses have become fast-paced or "gimmicky" in what they do. What we call "reading", or we don't block somebody,
but we basically react to what the defense does.
Because of that, teams have also become very gimmicky defensively. So, we're more predicated out of a zone concept where you have area blocking as opposed to man blocking because the men move so much and change so much that there's probably not enough time in the day to go over every single scenario.
So it's kind of like a zone defense in basketball, no matter what offense they run you've got to cover it and then as the game goes on,
we make adjustments and could go to some of our man schemes and things like that once we figure out, "What are they really trying to do to us?"
Beck is soft. he plays soft, scared and slow. Figure out what they're really trying to do to us. year 4 and he still has no idea how to beat a stacked box.....Genius....
