We definitely know you don't. People hold Matthews in some kind of mythical status. He has never been an OC nor a HC. He is just another media guy giving his opinions. But because he coached at UT, everything he says is gold.
Why can't anyone else see this?Why not use North to run a quick slant across the middle (this will take the corner and safety out) and run the RB on a delayed route into the vacated CB's area?
Make North the primary and the RB the secondary, this allows the QB to read only half of the field.
The point that I'm making is that we are not making any game-time adjustments. If our primary weapons are neutralized, we are just s**t out of luck. We never use an opponent's strategy to set up other plays. In fact, I haven't seen any indications that we actually game-plan for opponents (we run the same crap no matter who we play).
This is a coaching issue.
I have been mentioning about Worley taking 3-5 step drops when he is already in shotgun. What kind of Qb coach would tell him to do that or not correct it? It seems like it takes him forever to set his feet. :banghead2:
What's even worse is all the times he is getting plastered by the DE. The true freshman was living back there this Sat. EVERY decent team we have played and the results are identical.
If you'll notice the DE can speed rush on any of our slow tackled and hardly have to turn in to sack the QB. It's almost a straight bee line b/c the QB is so far back. The tackle would normally come out of his stance and set to block the DE. But in this case he has to jump farther out just to get a hand on the guy.
OU did it all night. UGA & UF did it all day and OM did it all night. It's crazy.
In fairness, I saw them do this on one of the sacks. The TE chipped and released. The Tackle (Gilliam I think) still couldn't get over in time to touch the DE. TE was wide open but Worley took the sack instead of dumping it off. Brutal to watch.
He's a just a media guy? The man was in coaching for what 30 yrs? I think he's blowing smoke when he tries to discuss recruiting but I have little doubt he understands the game and recognizes problems when he sees them. Especially given his experience as a DC he might know a thing or two about an offense exploiting a defense.
