Urban Meyer's Football Philosphy For Our Offense


Frizzy350

Recommended Posts

Pretty good analysis. I would be interested in weighting the players to show a truer version of the 1:1 matchup. No one thinks that Remmers:Miller is 1:1. More like .33/1. That would demand a double team, and all our needed shifts as you illustrated with their D and Ginn's speed.

This get's into the match up game, which both teams are going to have to play, especially with our Offense versus the Denver Defense.

I think that all the hullabaloo over dealing with Cam is really the secondary issue.  Instead its goings to be how well they stop our run.  If we end up with 2nd and 3rd >5, then it's going to be a long day against us.  Because we're playing 11/11 football as opposed to the usual 10/11 (QBs not being a threat during the run game), Denver has to account for that one extra guy.  

So if Jonathon Stewart gets rolling, that's going to open up a lot of things against the Denver D.  I mean, Denver doesn't have a great team by luck or happenstance.  Those guys are great, but they've not had to play 11/11 football all year.  I'm sure they are going to try some things to disrupt our read-option running game.  Then again, everyone's been trying that all year long...

If the coaches can find a way to sneak 12 men on most of the game, like you're suggesting, then yeah, its great.

Obviously we cannot have 12 men on the field (unless for some reason the opponent keeps declining the penalty).  This is meant to illustrate the problems you will run into assuming you dedicate the resources to specifically "Contain Cam and double Olsen".
Sure Ted Ginn doesn't count as 2 actual players on the field.  Nor are you forced in any particular way to dedicate a resource to deal with his speed, but he'd proven time and time again this year that this approach is a gamble, and he will make you pay for not giving him extra attention.

    • When you analyze what Tulsky has done the only positive was getting Ehlers, he blew the Gentzel signing, whiffed on Rantanan, signed Miller who is a terrible fit, never addressed the goalie problem, signing a declining Freddie instead, and wasted a ton of cap space this year with inaction. My verdict is he might be great at analytics but sucks as a general manager.  
    • If you think the refs we have are bad, you probably don't remember just how bad it got the last time they used replacement refs... including an incident of a Packers fan ref massively influencing a game. The NFL, when you consider all the other things tied to it like TV rights, betting, stadiums (construction, ticket prices, heck even parking and concessions), plus merchandizing, is probably a trillion dollar industry. Give the refs what they want, pay them and let's get back to having games.  
    • Probably.  You never know.  It always amazes me to think how many times they miss on first rounders (about 50%) and the number of misses increases every round.  Then there are UDFAs that make the team every year.  I guess we are always looking for the next gem--but most never make it.  Funny, I was at dinner last night and there was this big guy with a WCU shirt on.  I recognized him--that OT from Western that we gave a tryout last year or the year before--Smith.  He explained his experience--just wanted to see how he could hold up against the big boys.  He played a preseason game and was terrible, fwiw.
