WR Separation Myths
Separation as well as all movement takes time for the receiver and therefore the offense as well. The longer the separation takes the more pass protection is needed. The pass protection can fail causing a quarterback hurry or sac. Hurries and interceptions occur if too much time has expired during a play. Also, holding calls in pass protection happen because of time constraints. No matter who is the quarterback.
Any offense, at any level, that is designed solely for separation in the pass game is at risk. How is a quarterback going to progression read and discover separation going to function without the time to achieve that task? Some coaches have asked themselves that question and some have not. Caleb Williams must be wondering while scrambling?
During a press conference, a reporter asked Lincoln Riley why his receivers are having problems getting consistent separation. Riley said no problems? Reality, receivers get occasional separation not consistent separation; no receiver at any level gets consistent separation unless playing against scrubs. Separation is a problem for everyone.
The stated variables need answers from the offense and sadly some Air Raid offenses answer with check downs, hitches, and swing passes because of defensive pressure on the quarterback. Remember, Riley is an Air Raid coach and match-up passing is not in his package. He might be so imprisoned in his mind that he does not even know match-up at all? Has Riley even taken notice how the rest of the upper tier, even high school, has developed match-up principles? This was great news for Noter Dame and is great news for Washington and Oregon.
Remember, there is a difference between what is called an offense and what is called a scheme. The Riley Air Raid is leveling the playing field against USC and in favor of its opponent?s, separation or not.
