What did we learn? - Game 1 - Colorado

Really interesting how we're playing a zone read look.

The OLB crashes hard down the line and wrong-shoulders a kick-out block.  The play-side ILB sprints for the QB.

I really like that concept.  Don't wait and try to figure it out.  Be aggressive on both.  Close the gap on the RB and the ILB has QB run or pressure on play-action.

We just need to refine it a bit.  Gifford was too aggressive on one play and the back just cut outside him.  Ferguson wasn't aggressive enough and left the hole open.

But I think it's a great strategy that should limit that play's effectiveness against us.

 
As far as Coach Frost’s demeanor.....

A. He didn’t look embarrassed and stare at his shoes.

B. He didn’t make throat slashing gestures.

C At no time did we think his head might explode.

D. He never appeared to be thinking about what would be a nice compliment to a cup of cocoa.

........................................................

Sure he questioned a few calls in regard to the spot of the ball, but never appeared to be lost or in need of a straight jacket.
