This is some nasty stuff from Kentucky 👌

@AgKnocks Bama, Citadel, YMCA, Flag Football… IDC.

Get him targets.

The 4 things I would love to see @AggieFootball do tomorrow:

1. I would love to see more QB designed runs. Yes, we will only win the game because of our pass game, but Marcel having success on the ground will help him be more effective passing. It will also force the defense respect his ability to use his legs.

2. I would love for Coach Elko to blitz more. This is one of the things that makes Elko special. Yes, you would love to hit home on your blitzes, but part of blitzing is to hit the QB and make him uncomfortable, but also force the QB to react to non-generic coverages. This will also set up and allow you to mug LBs and safeties and drop them out in coverage on certain downs, just to add another element in the QBs mind that he may need to get the ball out quick.

3. I would love to see more physicality from the DBs in the pass game. Don’t be afraid to get your hands on guys. Force the QB to make perfect throws against tight man coverage. If you set the tone with the physicality early in the game, it makes it much harder for the refs to call flags later in the game because of the physicality that has already been established.

4. I would love to see Aaron Gregory get more targets. Simple.

QBs, when you’re spiking the ball, you aren’t throwing it straight into the ground. It should be more like a low dribble.

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

This is going on EVERY Situational Football Cutup this week 😳

No firm control of the football before the spike.

WILD!

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

Yeah I think 6’2 (maybe 6’3). But he attack the ball, run through the catch, good twitch, does a good job not drifting on routes, etc.

Hard to find a comparison, but gives me a mix of Pickens and Garrett Wilson vibes with him being explosive and fast while still being so smooth and solid body control.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

6 REC - 94 YDs - 2 TDs.

He needs targets… GIGEM

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

Main takeaways:

Offense - Aaron Gregory will be a problem! 🔥

Defense - Big year for Radcliffe & Coney. 🔥

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

@RouteUniverse9 I went to see him in practice. One of the best freshman WR I’ve seen. Good size and length. Athletic. Getting out of routes in 3 steps with ease.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

This is why when coaches say, “We are thinking players, not plays,” I heavily disagree.

Play callers and play designers are EVERYTHING.

[NFL Philosophy @NFLosophy]

If you don’t believe OCs are just as important as the QB, all you have to do is look at Kubiak’s move from Seattle to Vegas and Darnold’s drop this year vs. how well Cousins is playing.

Kubiak is, in fact, that dude.

COMP %

[Ted Nguyen @FB_FilmAnalysis]

I will never get why QBs take sacks running to the sideline when they could throw it away

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

@lucas224567 Rhythm. I honestly can’t name a QB who doesn’t tap the ball.

Someone said Baker Mayfield but I haven’t verified.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

Almost every NFL QB taps the ball.

But okay.

[Phinhub @Phinhub]

Jordan Battle told reporters Malik Willis taps the ball before he throws.

Three days later he picked Willis off twice. Both right after the tap 👀

Phins Up 🐬

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

@wizdog16 @bwise1995 I have no idea what you’re talking about.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

We need to teach ALL people who comment on football how offensive protection systems work.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

@bwise1995 No such things as a dumb question.

Most college QBs don’t call protections (even many NFL teams), but EVERY QB must understand protections and Mike points to know when / how you’re hot in ALL protections.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

From someone who played with Deshaun Watson, I don’t think he gives himself enough credit for how good he is under center and in play action.

He has really good ball fakes, quick feet, and the ability to operate in rhythm off play action and keepers.

Yes, he can pick you apart from the shotgun, but incorporating more under center looks on early downs could make the offense even more effective by creating more opportunities to use play action and keep the defense guessing.

An OL may know better than me, but I believe it can give you better angles on runs also.

[BrownsNation.com @BrownsNationcom]

Tony Grossi reveals why the Browns rely so heavily on shotgun formations despite their struggling run game, arguing that Todd Monken’s offensive approach caters to Deshaun Watson’s comfort and ability to make plays with his legs.

"So why are the Browns using so much shotgun while their running game suffers? I see two major reasons, and they both pertain to catering to Watson’s strengths – or avoiding his weaknesses. First, he’s more comfortable seeing the field from the shotgun. Two, the shotgun is more effective in executing quarterback designed runs. Most of Watson’s successful runs are on keepers after he leaves his throwing progressions and just runs for his life."

If you want to be a good team, I believe you must understand how to attack protections.

Some blitzes you just can’t pick up and you say “good job defense.”

[Duke Manyweather @BigDuke50]

Let me guess, you guys want the Center, LG & LT to pick up that slot corner, because he’s a free runner…

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

This is disgusting from a PALMS CB. 🔥

[Shawn Syed @SyedSchemes]

I thought it was interesting how Nehemiah Pritchett played his technique on his interception. On Sand Deuce, the CB is usually just in a soft squat with eyes directly to the QB similar to a C2 CB. Here Pritchett actually turns to the outside WR before breaking on the ball

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

I agree.

[ESPN Cleveland @ESPNCleveland]

"They have to find a happy medium in order for the running game to get better," - @TonyGrossi on the Browns needing to find a balance between shotgun and under center on offense.

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

@johndavisreport He said what he said, but I’ve never seen a Weakside LB in an odd front having the responsibility of keeping contain on the strong side.

It definitely looks like he has the A Gap but who knows. If he doesn’t then who does?

[K M o n d @TheKellenMond]

This is actually a really popular design in the NFL.

[Drew Beatty @IronCityFilm]

This play is just the latest microcosm in an overarching set of questions surrounding the #Titans offensive design at times. Ward, Helm, and the entire O-line all operate this as a designed boot to the field side, while the route concept operates to the boundary.

I have a hard time believing that both Tate/Ridley would have botched the execution *this badly*, so why are we designing a boot where the entire route concept is executed to the opposite side of a designed roll-out?
