Nebraska’s Els Will Remind Prep Coaches How Important They Are

[knapplc]

I cant stand the philosophy of "take what the defense gives you". The precise reason the defense is giving you something is because you cant do it and they know this from watching video all week. When T.O. was coach they knew we were going to run and guess what? WE RAN! We didnt take what the defense gave us, we took what we wanted and baited them into changing their style and then you hit em with the home run PA. Until we actually can impose our will on a team and do what we want nothing is going to get any better on offense. "Taking what the defense gives you" is another way of saying "We give up and will do what you want us to"

Not always the case. Sometimes the defense gives you the pass because they have a terrible secondary, so you exploit that. Sometimes they give you the run because their line is all banged up and their linebackers suck, so you exploit that.

I'm guilty of this as anyone, but sometimes we get too hung up on certain phrases like "multiple" and "take what they give you." It's all coach-speak.

Why be a jack of all trades, master of none?

Develop one plan that's good, instead of two plans that are both just alright.

I hope our next OC never has a plan B. We don't need no Plan B's, we are Nebraska. Opponents know what we call and can't stop it anyway, that's the only way we roll.

I think Beck will run an offense much like Bo's D, start out seeing what the other team gives you and adjust from there

Taking what the defense gives you??? BLASPHEMER!

As much as I want "The glory days" back, its not going to happen. T.O. was unique in the way that he was a very patient play caller. Hard to find that anywhere in today's game. We are not built to slam the ball down everyone's throat.

Well, I'm just tired of being built to go 3 & out.
