HEY SORTER!! (and SULLY)

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

Is there any way you guys can learn us some football?

I respect, admire and am totally green with envy y'all's knowledge of football defenses and offenses and the structuring of the plays and such.

My personal playing experience pinnacle is the sandlot with neighborhood kids where the greatest play ever called was "EVERYBODY GO OUT FOR A PASS!!!!"

I am the epitome of the armchair fan watching a game that has no idea what he is looking at. But I still dig the hell out of it.

I'm too old and creepy to attend a football for girls class, so is there anywhere to get started like a football for dummies path to follow?

The Jets playbook is kind of useless to me at this point. I'm looking for the cue-cards being held a little lower.

You guys could probably organize some seminars and get tons of us mopes here to sign up. I'd like to sit in the front row.

Enlighten us, wise ones, please.

Let me pretface by saying a few things...
A) I don't know it all. Far from it. I think I'm pretty knowledgeable, but year after year I learn things that absolutely astound me (that I didn't know them before), and make me feel dumb as hell.
B) the reason Exoter's lying was so obvious is because, like anything, there's a language involved. I don't know shit about motorcycles. So when Dayze discusses his, I'm worthless. I could pretend, by using some language I heard on SoA, but I'd be obviously in over my head, and anyone would be able to tell with any modicum of knowledge.
C) Beyond the basics, it all becomes opinion, anyway. Wanna hear a fun argument? Show two coaches a defense, and ask them if its a 3-3 or a 3-5 or a 5-3. Coaches will argue for days about that shit. Here's a hint, they are all the same!

All that said, waddya wanna know?

Actually, there was some kind of game where they rolled this huge medicine-ball looking thing around a field. Opposing team on each side of the ball.

I think it was a college kids thing, but not sure.

I think a lot of posters feel this way, DT. Sorter's wit and humor are only exceeded by his Xs & Os. He is one of the very few who could single-handedly raise the collective football IQ of this forum. If there were only a way to get him to do it.

And banning Claynus would raise that same IQ by subtraction. His minions will eventually shrink and disappear, further raising the level.

Welp, considering I'm probably viewed as a minion around here...

I wouldn't view you as such.

However, if you would care to unburden some inner turmoil, feel free to get in touch with your inner Simply Red.

disclaimer: I believe everyone's inner Simply Red is a truly beatiful thing.

I heard the new "Omaha" motor is decent. Though, it's a little flat up top in the power band, and has no bottom end. Though, it is light weight. But nothing I'd personally want to rail through the gears. Doesn't eat a lot a fuel.

So, the 1st play of the game was a nice completion to Sanders for 48 yards. The Broncos came out in Detroit personnel (2TE2WR1RB) with a trips to the field.

The Chiefs aligned (as they love to early in games) in their "Reduce" front, which is base 3-4 personnel. The front looks like this:



If you'll notice, it states that it's a either Cover 3 (Trey) and Cover 6 (Pack) depending on the offensive alignment. The front can also change by alignment.







In the picture above, you'll notice the left end has changed from aligning in a 4 technique or heads up on the offensive tackle to aligning heads up on the "Y" or TE. The other DT has changed from a heads up "2" technique to a 3 in-between the guard and tackle. It looks like this in the Jets PB.






Now, in the picture above, you'll notice Cooper has now changed to playing off coverage. Because of the front change, the chiefs are now playing "Pack" or Cover 6 with the quarters side to the field. Cooper is responsible for 1/4, Berry 1/4, Abdullah 1/2, and Smith squatting on the boundary side.





In the picture above, you can see the 2 vertical routes getting ready to rape the quarters coverage. Berry will pick up Thomas, leaving no help for Cooper. Thomas draws Abdullah as well, leaving nobody over the top to help Cochise's favorite player of all time, Marcus Cooper.




That results in this picture below:






Steve Spurrier was pretty well known for his "Mills" concept: a 2 man combo that had the inside receiver running a deep in/dig and the outside receiver running a post. Against quarters, the inside 1/4 player jumps the underneath route and the post is 1-1 with inside leverage.

Peyton Manning used it pretty well here.


. Just found this. Same. Exact. Play.

My dream is to one day build a killer rat bike or bobber with a kick ass pan or knuckle head motor.
