    Messingham showing big improvement calling from the booth

    From an objective observer without a dog in the fight... * Leave the pistol midline read-like play in the locker room at halftime. Replace it with more stretch plays (and other plays on the periphery of the defense) with the Wimberly kid. * That Bundrage kid is pretty good...probably a good...

    Question on TCU offense

    He can be moving laterally, as long as he's the only one moving (just like a motion man). But if he's moving forward, it's not legal...probably not called much though. A lot of it is a QB will know the count, so he'll start his footwork before he even receives the shotgun snap, perhaps giving...

    Iowa High School Football Updates?

    Xavier looks extremely good this year. I was coaching in their middle school program when a lot of these kids were in 7th/8th grade, so I got to see them "before they were stars" :). Coach Schulte has a way of getting the most out of his guys...doesn't try to do too much and just gets REALLY...

    X's and O's thread

    Judging by the play illustrated above, even though I think the RB path is a little flat in the backfield, I think this play would be inside zone. The H-back would provide the natural cutback lane so instead of reading that DE, you'd block him. It eliminates your numbers advantage against this...

    SCOUTING TCU DEFENSE AND OFFENSE

    Do they still run that 4-2-5 that got a lot of press the last few years because they were so good with it?

    X's and O's thread

    Quoting this because I hadn't realized WartKnight had posted the pic because he edited his original post. This does look like the Dart play as I know it. Then, as you described earlier, you could take that RB and continue him on his path to fill for the pulling OT and the OT leads the QB up...

    X's and O's thread

    Simply because I have "hawk" in my username? Please...find a post in this thread or in any thread I've ever posted in on this board and please inform me where I've been trolling. Actually don't...I enjoy a good X's and O's discussion so it would be detrimental to this thread to discuss it here.

    X's and O's thread

    I edited late...stop struggling. I'm not trying to argue...based on your initial post I thought he was only over by a yard, so I mentioned an old rule (that may be NFL or college, I honestly don't know) about a buffer zone where the OL doesn't get called for that penalty. Again, no matter...

    X's and O's thread

    I saw this part: i.e. within the "zone of leniency". **Edit - If he then released from that point, I'd agree with you. But I wasn't sure based on your initial post. No matter...

    X's and O's thread

    Interesting...I didn't see the game, but I believe there is a small area beyond the LOS where the OL can go without being called. I think it was a yard, but if they are within that area, I thought they were exempt from the illegal man downfield penalty.

    X's and O's thread

    You can't read it in the traditional shotgun sense, reading a BSDE because the QB would require eyes in the back of his head for that. You can read the playside defensive end and create a double option, or with a second back utilize a triple option, which is what Nevada does. Visually...

    X's and O's thread

    The read stuff, and the option stuff in general, is based on the ability to read certain defenders instead of blocking them. You could still run the zone stuff, both inside and outside, but I don't know that you could have the same playbook. You could do some same-side reads (think Paul...

    X's and O's thread

    Here's QB counter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meD5DY2Fj_8 Blitzing LB almost blows it up in the backfield, DE/LB to be kicked jumps inside and safety takes over his responsibilities but Braxton Miller makes him look silly. This is just a variation to the play, using the H-back player...

    Aha. Yep, gotcha, that makes sense. I missed the part of the initial post regarding the BST and RB responsibilities.

    X's and O's thread

    We call that play "Dart" . However, how do you get a backside lead up on the PSLB? Does the backside pull run past the DE/read player? Visually, out of 2x2... ....................B..........B ..............RE...T....N.....LE .................T..G..C..G..T ..................R.....Q At the...

    X's and O's thread

    6 in the box, assuming ISU was in a 2x2/3x1 set (i.e. anything with no TE's closing either side of the formation which brings an extra defender in the box) gives you a good opportunity to run if you can execute. For example, a normal zone read will allow for your OL to account for the entire DL...

    X's and O's thread

    Was it inverted veer? I didn't see that game as it wasn't covered on ImOn in Cedar Rapids (at least I don't think they have the Fox College Sports channels yet). Was the RB running horizontally with Jantz almost shuffling in the same direction the back was going? Blocking scheme sounds more...

    NFL: Packers getting SACKED

    When he caught it. **Edit - And I'm not saying he controlled it first. I'm saying he was the only one to control it. Tate never caught the ball.

    NFL: Packers getting SACKED

    Took me a while to find it, trying to figure out which thread it was posted in. Here's the rule: Item 5: Simultaneous Catch. If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player...
