LNBS: Altering the Smash Concept

[Sorter]

Additionally I acknowledge that it is vulnerable to pressure and press coverage. I also think fire zones, and a far side cloud rotation w/ a corner blitz could definitely **** this play up. Of course there are downsides to it and can be exploited.

I just think it is something I haven't seen on film a lot that could be extremely productive at the college level due to the lack of coverage abilities of 3rd/4th DBs and LBs and the propensity of the spread.

No doubt college defenses would struggle to cover it IF (and this is a big IF), you are able to have qb that could execute it and read defensive coverages at a pro level.

Really, the whole point of this play is to make an easy read. You read primarily the closest safety to the corner route side. If he goes to help over the top, you're going to have your TE usually matched up with a LB down the seam (usually a win).

If he stays and helps cover the MOF, then you have a 1-1 shot down the sideline or on the corner (usually).

Thats a lot to digest during a play. This concept would require a lot of pre snap reading that would be unreliable. You would need a heck of a qb to run it.

Get yo play call in fast!!!


I do admit it isn't that easy of a read but I feel most Big 10/12/SEC QBs could handle it. I guess when I originally was throwing this together, I was envisioning Rodgers.

The way that team runs back-shoulders down the sideline, you could expect that a CB isn't going to jump the corner route the first few times this is run IMO.

Furthermore the in play reading would take a lot of time, blitzing would kill a team running this play as an offense.

Hence the ideas of built in hots/zone-read looks.

I did agree earlier that I think fire-zones or cover 0/1 w/ additional rushers makes this play look like Turner Gil's offense.
