Did anyone notice?

Did anyone notice that Ainge didn't roll out to his left yesterday? Cut is smart enough to know that you don't roll a right hand qb out to the left or a left hand qb out to the right. I never understood why R. Sanders always did that. It never worked the balls would never be close to the recievers. Just stupid play calls by randy. it was also good to see that there were a variety of plays used instead of 2 run up the middles and a wr screen pass. we were so predictable. i think as the season goes on Cut will bring out some new plays. He didn't show to much yesterday, and i'm sure he won't next wk, but when Fl comes to town, he'll have some new stuff. Can't wait.

I don't think that's true. He didn't have to roll Ainge out very much. Many if not most right handed QB's find it easier to square up their shoulders to throw rolling left.

The game plans will be different because SEC defenses are more sophisticated and aren't stupid enough to put smaller, slower, weaker DB's in single coverage with UT's WR's. OTOH, the UT run game was pretty amazing against a talented team that put 8 or 9 in the box most of the day.

Watch for that aspect to get even better while Ainge will have to throw more deep outs/ins, drags, seams, etc. The hitches probably won't be abandoned. They were a staple for Cut during his first tenure. But Swain's pattern that he scored on will probably be more typical.

UT also didn't have to get into very many swing patterns or screens... those are still ready to be pulled out on a team that covers up the hitch with two deep over man or zone like we'll likely see with UF.

That's incorrect. Right handed QB's square their shoulders up to the line of scrimmage most easily rolling out to their right and left handed QB's square their shoulders up to the line of scrimmage most easily rolling out to the left.

i agree vol423, if it is easier for them to roll the opposite way then y were so many passes overthrown?

 

[Big Vol Nasty]

What???? It's easier to throw a football (if your right handed) rolling to your left cause you can square up cock and fire, rolling right you can't square your shoulders as good. Want proof? go outside and do it with a football then get back to me.

 

[JonWard]

It is pretty common knowledge that a QB is more comfortable and accurate when rolling right/throwing right, because when rolling left/throwing right, you have to almost stop and square to pull of an accurate throw.

Most coaches usually roll out to the wide side of the field. If the ball is on the left hash mark you roll to the right, etc. I agree though, its not a good idea to make the QB throw across his body.

I'm sure they have something new for Florida, or at least I hope.

 

[Big Orange Diesel]

The deal is you don't want to throw across your body because the ball will tend to sail on ya. So either way SQUARE YOUR SHOULDERS!

 

[I bleed Orange]

and that was my point, randy sanders had both qbs rollin out opposite of their throwin hand and 75% of the time the ball sailed way over the recievers head. and you saw none of that last nite

 

[Big Orange Diesel]

Talking about formations, I loved the formations that Coach Cut used: ACE Big Bunch, Single Back with twin WR and a H-back(Chris Brown)right off the line. And he sent men in motion, something RS would never do.

 

[JWVol]

I can remember one touchdown Ainge has thrown rolling left and I belive it was against Florida in 2004. It was to one of the TE's.

Of course, Sanders only had to do something once or see it once and suddenly it was worn out. I would hate to hear him tell a joke.

 

[JWVol]

Actually, my apologies to Sanders. That was last year and all of that negativity and anger was buried along with Cal on Saturday night. I am on to 2006 and done with the cheap shots.

You're seriously mistaken. Have you actually ever played football before?
