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..

you're letting me down man, they're talking about a taco smash and I'm already 2:30 into it. ;)

skip ahead to 34 minutes..

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.

    • We will make it interesting. I think we'll be on a roll by then.
    • Especially glad there's no Thursday games. I hate them. They're dangerous. They really fug up a routine and unless you're team is coming off a bye, they play the game with little rest or prep.
    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do. But looking at that later schedule and it's not horrible. We've got the eagles and chiefs....that's scary, but then we've got the cardinals and cowboys at home...and it's the cowboys in December. When have they been scary in December? And we've got division games in there as well. I think we'll do ok. The more I look at it, the better I feel about it.
