I went outside and looked. The sky hasn't fallen!

If our defensive coaches are not teaching our DEs to absolutely kill any qb riding a RB on a run option play regardless if he hands it off or not, we are allowing the QB too much control over the play. During the mesh, the qb is not defenseless nor are they a passer, take the direct path and hit them in the ribs because it literally is a free shot. DE always take the QB and let the LB take the RB.
Switch it up every so often so they can?t scheme the blocking.
I mean it makes way too much sense, if you hesitate you lose leverage. Once you see the qb riding the rb, the DE needs to hit and tackle the qb every single time. Coaches will not want to put their qb through 12-15 additional crushing hits per game and they will stop calling read option plays all together.
If you do that then the OT blocks the LB and the RB gashes your D. Teams have gone to a lot of gap exchange whereas the DE closes and takes RB and the LB slides out to take QB. They do other shit too but that’s the best way to play it defensively.
What gives me the most problems are teams that really attack the mesh and force my QB into a quick decision. My current QB almost always makes the wrong read so I quit running it. Now we are on designed runs and keeps with a ton more split zone
I believe today is the day that we find out if KJ is a go. If he doesn't practice, he's out
McBuckethead had a good point perhaps, that in College, a qb taking 15 more hits every time he rides the hand off, in the SEC, is just asking for injury. Does that not give a QB something to think about and hesitate each time he runs it? I don't know, but asking in general.
Word on Hogville.com is Malik Hornsby has beat Fortin out to start Saturday. He's a runner not a passer.
The Hog insiders are saying b/c of the Tua Fiasco KJ will NOT play Saturday. Pittman is not taking a chance.
Once he went into protocol there was no way he was playing this week.
I don't think Hogville would know anything either way. I don't expect KJ to play though.
I would expect Fortin to get the start but for there to be packages for Hornsby for sure. Briles might have to pull everything out of the playbook in this one. Normally our fans hate the double reverse passes and trick plays he does but this might be a time to justify it lol
All of the Arky practice videos I've seen this week primarily show Hornsby in drills, skelly etc. Not much of the other guy. I'm sure Briles and Pittman know what a mobile QB does vs our LBs. I hope it's Fortin if KJ can't go.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Pittman played Fortin last week knowing that Hornsby would go against us as a diversion.
Heard Pittman say yesterday that KJ did practice "some" (took a few snaps) and will make the trip to Starkvegas but it's a day by day thing.
I don't know if Daniels can't throw, but our problem is you don't have to be a great thrower to hit receivers that are open because you've extended the play long enough for coverage to break down. I don't think a bad thrower can consistently beat us with his legs, but I think he'll be able to do enough that it will be dangerous for us if we start slowly or have an early turnover. Just can't spot them a lead where they can afford to ground and pound and burn clock.
Yeah, I don't think it's a concussion thing
In watching the film of Ark v Bama, they run blocked pretty good vs Bama. You know Bama has some men in the front 7 too. So I'm more worried about them running and running on us. Fortin is a 50% passer. So hopefully we can key on the run and take some chances with man coverage.
This will be a tough win regardless of their QB.
