If you call a bunch of screens it becomes less creative not more.

If you call a bunch of screens it becomes less creative not more.
So calling 3-4-5 screens per game to add to your offense is less creative? Wow- who knew?Quote:

We already call 3-4-5 screens per game and you never said that few until nowQuote:

no we did not. We called 1 every couple of games. And I apologize, I just assumed everyone understood I wasnt asking for 12 screens per gameQuote:

Last year it seemed like we were a bit more predictable after the Auburn game. Part of that was probably better scouting by our opponents. Even in the Auburn game they were ready for the back shoulder pass.Quote:

Right again. The thing that would have made a difference in those games was better execution not more screens.Quote:

Egg Bowl - our D gave up too many big plays. They hit Ingram deep every time they wanted and the 90 yard TD run was ridiculous. D laid an egg. At times, Dak was rattled and felt pressure before it was there. But I mostly blame the D.
If I could choose just one side of the ball to improve over last year, it would be defense.
Now, there's an idea!Quote:
