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.

    • I agree.  Some situations are all we should ask--shadow the qb (someone suggested that) or cover a TE, or blitz from the big nickel position.  Forget S, edge, CB,LB--
    • I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.
    • This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
