I ran a completely different offense against you in the BSCFL than I run in this OD. I rarely throw bubble because most people don't often give me, it's really that simple. If you cover the guy, I'm not going to throw it. I throw a few screens a game, more if you don't cover the slot and I can use bubble, but not that many. Screens are a huge part of the air raid passing game, I'm not going to go away from that but to say that it's a huge staple of my game is just wrong. I rarely throw hitches, I don't run Smash all that often. But I'm sure anyone would rather me take the hitch than the corner, it's a 6-7 yard gain vs. a 15-20 yard one. I ran Smash once last night and hit the corner for 25 yards. But I only throw hitches lol. And yep, I love shallows because I'm a Leach guy. Mesh and Shallow are my favorite concepts. But to say I use shallow as my warm up play and that I have an advantage over anyone else is just wrong. I'm less likely to throw shallow at the beginning of a game because with 5 QBA in full effect, the QB almost always misses. I ran zero shallow routes on my first drive last night.
I throw more than anyone. I run far more routes than anyone. I use a lot of quick game, sure, but I've always gotten a lot better about deep and intermediate stuff. In my CCG against Navy, I completed around 20 passes for 400 yards. That's 20 YPA. That's not from hitches and screens and shallows.
You can play with this stuff all day. My personnel at Cal can't run anything other than a 4-2-5 right now because I've done a poor job recruiting LBs and the front 4 has been the strength of my team for 4 years. Plus, I like how the 4-2-5 plays out. Yet it has all sorts of alignment issues. This becomes a huge problem when you have
@LEGEND motioning every single play and screwing up who's playing what zone. Did I ask for that to be banned? No. I did the best I could and won. This defense is also a huge problem when I play
@Walter323 and I'm getting run all over despite putting 9 in the box. It frustrates the shit out of me and I've been a sore loser after games but I haven't asked to get it changed because I need to find a way to adapt. I love to know how sim it is to play man almost exclusively and run Cover 0 5 times in a row, like
@JSU Zack did after going down 14-0. I could go play a ranked game right now and play against that, I play OD to get away from that. Did I complain? No. I found it rather obnoxious but I kept throwing my man beaters and moved down the field a bit until I threw a pick six when he finally switched to zone for a play. You can bitch about stuff all day in this game. But you're never going to get any better at the game if you just look for ways to cater to the 3 things you want to do and never think outside of that. Sometimes you don't get to do everything you want to do. I'd love to open games up with certain plays that I can't because I know my QB will throw an incompletion. So I do something else. If you just sit here and find things to complain about, you're never going to be happy with the game and should probably stop playing it.
Let me just remove my comments as I'm wasting my breath. Green.
