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.

    • Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?
    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
