The former white players don't typically bad mouth Kirk or Brian. Tyler also kept referring to Kirk as KF which is just weird. Just say his name for f*ck sakes.
Is that just rail lines of cocaine until they don't feel anything?
That really is something. Running on 2nd down 90% of the time when 1st down was an incompletion? That just seems like how someone would run an offense who is really, really unintelligent. Like really dumb.
The key will be to see if he wasn't aware and will now break the tendency or if he will stubbornly keep doing what he is doing. I'm leaning toward something close to the latter.
It's the west coast offense that Bill Walsh forged. They would run after first down incompletions as a way to shorten the distance needed on third down. It was basically what the majority of the NFL coaches did in the 80s and early 90s.
I had some friends over and we watched the game and I called second down running plays after an incompletion every time. That isn't a BF thing, it is more of a KF thing. He is just a very conservative coach. He always will be. I don't think changing the OC is going to change a ton for Iowa.
Knowing it is a run or pass isn't that huge of deal, or else on anything over 3rd and 4 you might as well run the ball to get a couple and punt. Its the tendencies of the formations leading to where the run will go, or only going with a few basic runs. I didn't study it much so I don't know what he exactly was doing, but did notice that certain backs lead to certain areas that the run would occur. Williams did not run outside, he nearly always went up on dive plays. Goodson was normally an off tackle runner. Those are the tendencies that will lead to a defense shutting you down.
Good Lord. Petras is completing 48% of first down passes? In comparison Purdy's completion percentage on 1st down is 81.2%......
I agree. When Iowa had CJB, if he audibled it was always a run and what side of the LOS he yelled the audible at first was always the side they would run. I haven't noticed that since then, but I do feel like almost every audible is a run.
We're one game away from Purdy going from overrated to irreplaceable
90% of the time though? Even after it's clearly not working? That seems really high.
Don't know specifics, but that was what was the game plan, what you assumed would happen, and generally did. They literally said they were trying to make 3rd and 10 be a more manageable 3rd and 7.
