Elevator summary: I’m only going to touch on DL play but the entire defense is tied to different ways to fit runs so again this is a really really simplified version of it.

There’s two ways to play DL and both can be done from 3 down or 4 down.

1. Attack react
2. React attack.

1. When you play attack react, you are usually responsible for 1 gap and you are shooting it and trying to penetrate and cut off the play and “funnel” the ball back inside. Ie: you’re a DT playing a 3T …As soon as the ball is turned over you’re trying to penetrate through the B gap.

2. When you’re playing react attack, you have a primary and a secondary gap. You don’t want to penetrate you want to attack the OL and force him to stay flat/square so there’s no creases to run through and try to spill the ball outside and to your LBs/DBs, however you might be fitting it.

Attack react usually gives way for more TFLs but more susceptible to big plays especially on QB reads (zone, power, counter), zone cutback, or trap schemes.

And react attack usually comes with less TFLs but is a safer way to play, if you have the guys that can truly 2 gap.

but both can be done from virtually any front for example

Dave Aranda and DJ Eliot play virtually the same base 3 down defense but Dave plays react attack and DJ plays attack react.

Georgia when they play their mint/tite front 3 down they are purely react attack and have been the best rushing defense in the country.

Ohio state and Clemson are 3 and 4 down , attack react and make a bunch a big plays but also can get gashed particularly by running QBs.

again very very basic explanation but that’s an elementary version of it.

Hope y’all are doing well!

At UGA when they had him at guard he did really well. The trajectory was easy to see. Then they started moving him to different spots and he struggled at Tackle.

So I guess Sam Pittman is a terrible OL coach too?

It’s college ball man. You find ways to get your best five on the field. Cade is a top talent even at tackle. Even if it’s not his professional position, it shows his versatility and his willingness to do what is necessary to help the team. It’s not like we are running 3 deep at every OL position.

Tony Basilio just said there's concerns at WR, coaches don't love that room. They have speed but that's about it. Velus Jones has a hammy issue. Hyatt can't play on the outside because he can't beat press coverage. RB is going to be solid. Defense won't be as bad as you'd think. DBs could be surprisingly good

Sobering info on how the Tennessee brass is concerned about attendance for the opener. They’re currently expecting only 70,000. Apathy is now here.

1. The first penalty was roughing the snapper not the kicker. The snapper gets protection in a scrimmage kick formation and you can clearly see him get blown up right as he snaps it. The signal by the referee is the same, the announcer just didn’t know.
2. The second kick did go through the uprights but the play was blown dead because of a false start on the offense. The official under the upright was just signaling that the play never happened.

No wonder why there is a shortage of officials. People don’t know the rules and rely on the uneducated announcers for their judgement.

I went back and watch Harrison’s highlights….. didn’t watch the Vandy game bc they are Vandy couldn’t find just his highlights against Auburn so I didn’t get to see that one…. In the games I watched….. he completed double the amount of passes at the line of scrimmage as he did 10 yards or more. His comp % over 15 yards was less than 30% and probably closer to 10%. Most of the running for your life was caused by holding the ball too long although the line did him no favors.

IMO…. We should have no bias for or against either qb…. Milton looked good in his first two starts before his injury…. He was also hindered by a poor system…..Bailey was just a freshman in a covid season and had a mess of a team thanks to Pruitt…. They should be considered on the same level with the best man winning…. That man happens to be Joe Milton.

I was not talking about Baileys games last year. You can take nothing from those games..I am talking about all the great games he had his Sr HS year.

Well, saying someone with those accolades is “nothing special as an athlete” seemed like a pretty ****ing dumb thing to say, so, yeah. Clarification was needed.

ETA- I’m actually gonna apologize. I missed and hadn’t gone back through all the back and forth you guys were having. My bad, guy.

No problem...I do it too sometimes.

Oh, smh.

Maybe I'm interpreting the tweet wrong BUT it sounds like the kid who transferred (probably because he was unhappy with his place on the depth chart at Auburn) is now also not happy about his place on the depth chart here (and maybe thinks he's better than the more experienced guys in front of him) (maybe also having to change numbers) and is being a diva and tweeting about it.
