Re: Fall Camp...
Here are pictures from the SDSU Football team facebook page.....https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3416220&type=3
I love, love, love the thought of Cam Jones playing some slot.....he is going to line up everywhere on the field, and he is going to be a matchup nightmare. -
Re: Fall Camp...
Does anyone know if we will still be utilizing the brilliant pre-snap motion where the TE and FB shift to the other side of the formation and then back again as the defense does nothing?Originally posted by JackFan96Comment

Re: Fall Camp...
Seems like the pre-snap motion could help the qb get a read on the defensive coverage even if it doesn't change the formation.Comment

Re: Fall Camp...
The defense of the opposition figures they have the play covered regardless of whether or not the shifting players are positioned at point A or point B ? To me,it looks like they know pretty much what we are doing, and are confident enough to stand their ground as they are positioned to make the play.I'd like to know for example wether or not we make good yardage when we utilize this scheme.If we don't, then it just adds to the chances for something to go wrong,without providing a benefit,OR,I'm completely off base and overlooking something.Probably the latter.Originally posted by RabbitObsessed View PostComment

Re: Fall Camp...
I'd like to know if we ever get first downs when we throw a 5 yard pass on a 3rd and 15? and if so what is the success ratio.Originally posted by jackdaniel View PostComment

Re: Fall Camp...
I would bet that, plus we seem to run it enough out of that yardage to make it tough to pick up the first down too.Originally posted by slosho View Post
I think the problem with the motion shifting the FB and TE across is for the RB to be able to see if and how the D is set. the problem with doing that pretty much tells the D that we are going to run it almost every time. I cant really recall us ever passing after a motion set like that. espiecially if they drop a TE back to a FB blocking position. pretty much shows we are running to that side with a lead blocker.
Im gonna go on my soap box and talk about how I felt the running game at SDSU was at a point it was not so predictible. Was I think Minnetts freshman year with Koenig. We actually saw different running formations. the power I, the split back or Y formation the flash/wildcat etc. Which was effective because either could have gotten the hand off, could have had a lead blocker and was able to go either direction with the hand off. But honestly the big thing was we would pass out of those running sets. Kept Ds honest that we could actually throw the ball when it looked like we were going to run. With Zenner and Gandy I think they could litterally destroy teams with how good they are with a talented and experienced O-line.

Re: Fall Camp...
Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. I agree, what is being said here, I do feel our offense has been very predictable.
I ran into a Bison fan who frequents this board and he was telling me how upset some of the fans were last fall after the playoff game with NDSU, and the Ryan Smith trick play. Where are our trick plays? They are probably written in German and well hidden.

Re: Fall Camp...
It seems most teams have some plays they keep for later in the year, dont show all your plays the first couple games just so they have something new to bring that a team cant scout for. New formations, or trick plays, not sure if its the coaching philosophy not to do that, but you could tell NDSU had a much better game plan, we didnt adjust to them very well yet they were sure ready for what we were doing. Then again, some teams have to use trick plays when their regular plays arent good or they just dont execute well. Ndsu knows you cant just show the same plays every game to expect to win, which sadly its not like they run a complicated offense, they execute well and show a few new things later in the year. our execution is getting better, but having a few new options might not hurt either.Originally posted by Nidaros View PostOpinions are like noses, everyone has one.

Its not like we have much to complain able since last year so us fans can get a little nit picky even when things are going very well."The most rewarding things you do in life, are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.” Arnold Palmer
