Spring Practice Notes

[ScottyIce]

Riley and his O coordinator had no imagination or unique play calling......the more i lament his being here, the more i am sooooo glad he is gone.

Can this stop? Let's just talk about Spring Practice.

Now that football and basketball have been dealt with, maybe Moos will begin to move on the baseball team. 

That would be good.  This has to be a make or break year for Erstad.

This hints at what could be considered one of the largest failings of the previous era - a somewhat tumultuous offensive identity. It also was fairly easy to pick up on what kind of plays they were going to run when certain backs were in the game.

A lot of it is on the coaches putting players in the best position to succeed. I just sincerely hope there's someone on the current roster that can be an obvious difference maker in 2018 and find a way to stay healthy.

Regarding the bold:  The beauty of Frost's system is that all of the parts have various 'uses' and position and are interchangeable with other parts/positions.  You don't know if the RB is coming in as a RB, a Slot, A wing, etc.  In the same way, the plays may look like one thing and evolve into something else - to that point I'm looking forward to seeing option plays back in the playbook. It won't look like the 1990s option but it will be there.

You have to think they promised immediate playing time during his recruitment, and that's why he ended up here.

They told him he would only be here 3 years before being drafted.  Start the first game and be a hero, unfortunately football does not work like that.  It is scary how unaware that staff was of big time college football.

Also true with the receivers. Backs define the personnel, but receivers better define what play it will be. The exact personnel, spacing and depth, combined with how the defense initially aligns, are your big indicators as to the exact play.

It's a very hard offense for a defense to anticipate, and even when they do, there are just so many other options built in. So much fun to watch.

It Will be very useful against teams that are very key/assignment based.

My abs look similar.

As do mine, it's just that there's a huge layer of fat blocking the view.

I don't think i have ever had abs.

Think of it as a layer of protection to make sure that you don't lose them

I call them my flabdominals.
