Auburn Playbook


Catalyst

Recommended Posts

This came from an article posted in another thread, but I thought it was very interesting since they put up a scan from a page of Auburn's playbook:

Now, I've never played football at any level so please feel free to correct me, but that doesn't look as "simple" as I had expected based on what all the "experts" are saying.

start listening at about :42 or :43 to get talk about the system.

looks pretty typical to a standard offense.. so I would agree, doesn't appear overly simplified..

broken lines are coverage reads. so if the corner is playing tight, the receiver will go deep. if they drop back, they'll run in. the qb and the wr have to be on the same page, ie laptops had to see the same thing his receiver did.

This.

Notice how only one route changes per play ?

It is my understanding that all the WR spots have that in the NFL.

That is why you see passes to no where sometimes. The WR or the QB didn't read correctly.

Chizik even mentioned Lee Ziemba as having a great NFL career!

not necessarily.

what it means to me is that on those plays he was the only read. IE he's got two chances, stare right at him, if he doesn't get open take off.

like, look at trips right 32.

your two slot receivers basically run clear out routs to take away the corner and safety. came is right handed so that's where he'd naturally run if he took off. those two inside trips receivers cleared out a path. all cam has to do is beat a DE trying to contain the edge or run over a corner who doesn't have a chance to tackle him.

well that would finally make sense where the one read comes in.. referring to 1 route that may change depending on coverage. totally different from what most people comprehend as one read/no progressions.

however, I find it interesting no analysts/experts/fans/etc have ever pointed that out or explained in full.. makes me question if that was ever their understanding as well.

the vast majority of people aren't interested in breaking down plays. they prefer invented controversies.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
