November 2Nov 2 Popular Post Most of you know by now we have Good Sark and Bad Sark. Bad Sark is the egotistical Sark that wants to run his stuff no matter the talent level or ability of his players to execute it. @Nicole44 made a brilliant observation when she said it's like he is auditioning for something, and just wants to run plays to show what he has. After she said that we find out that maybe he was. Curious. Anywho, Good Sark shows up when the team's back is against the wall. It just goes to show you that HE KNOWS what would work and would be more efficient. I couldn't begin to understand why he doesn't roll out Good Sark more often, but folks we are currently seeing good Sark. I'm not sure how long he is here, but let's enjoy him while we got him! For those here that say things like it was the line. The receivers got better. Arch unfucked himself. The truth is all those things being fucked had to do with the complexity of what Bad Sark was asking them to do. Everyone here that was peeking over the fence, hoping we could have Joey Freshwater's offense, well you saw it this Saturday. We spread the field. Got the ball out. Simplified Arch's reads. Ditched the complicated routes. The result is not only did Arch come alive, but spreading the field and getting people away from the box helped the line and RBs too. Let's get into it! First play of the game and we line up in 11 personnel. Does anyone remember number 2 for Vandy in the slot? Well I do. They blitzed him 10 times last year. Good Sark does too. He motions Wingo to the field side anticipating them firing their nickel. The safety now has to spin down to make a play and that allows the slot receiver plenty of time to make a block. The closing LB never has a chance against an athlete like Wingo in space. Touchdown. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa.mp4 Again, we roll out in 11 personnel. Good Sark understands that Vandy wants to bring extra guys, and they are bringing 5 on this play. Yeah, this play is a little cute but well designed. Everyone knows we are an Outside Zone team, and we freeze their 5 man pass rush by showing Outside Zone blocking with a bunch of eye candy in the backfield. Meanwhile the line is just naturally flowing frontside to block the throwback screen Sark has dialed up. Sark gets 5 clean blockers out front of the best returner in college football. Terrifying for any defense. If we are a little quicker to decide who to block here this gets to the house. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_1.mp4 We are in 11 personnel spread wide in a 2x2 set. Sark is making Vandy defend superior athletes in space. At the snap we just throw it out to Wingo and let him make a play. I said before Wingo needs Worthy's package because he is most effective when you can get it to him quickly and let him do the rest. Sark knows Vandy's corners are going to bail out which leaves the box defender responsible for closing on Wingo. In space. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_5.mp4 We come right back to the same play. 11 personnel in a 2x2 set. Notice the time and quarter. Notice the difference in the box for Vandy between this play and the last. Last play Vandy had 7 in the box and got popped on the outside for a big gain. This time they come back with a 6 man box and cover 3 behind it. Sark has manipulated the box, forcing them to pull a man to deal with these quick throws to the outside. That helps create space for the running game. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_6.mp4 Opposing teams have a guy on the sideline who's job it is to spot our personnel groupings and send in the appropriate response. Sark trots out his heavy package. 12 personnel. However, instead of lining up in a heavy run formation, we go 5 wide. You are forcing them to play zone or have LBs out covering routes. We give Arch a nice and simple 1/2 field read here. Arch knows that with the coverage they are in the corner is going to bail and the DB over the slot has responsibility for the flat. We fire the slot receiver vertically but with an outside release to occupy that man, and the outside receiver runs a simple stick route. Simple pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_7.mp4 Again 11 personnel. We run the tight end on a quick crosser to occupy the LBs and then run a delayed slant behind it. Pay attention to the O-line. The LG gets beat but the ball is out so fast it doesn't matter. A couple weeks ago this is a sack. You can make a shaky line look competent by just getting the ball out. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_8.mp4 Every time Sark catches them trying to add numbers to the box Sark reminds them that they have other responsibilities. 4 wide again with 11 personnel and we throw the quick out to Parker. Pay attention to our Left Tackle here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_9.mp4 2nd and 6 and Sark knows Vandy wants to blitz. We are 4 wide. Vandy brings 6 and Sark has a screen setup to the boundary. Great call. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_11.mp4 11 personnel. Sark motions late to a 3x1 set knowing he is going to get zone to that side. The slot runs a simple curl to occupy the flat defender while the outside receiver runs a simple comeback route. Easy pitch and catch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_12.mp4 11 personnel. This the fake receiver screen to wheel route we like to throw. A couple games ago we tried to run it but it wasn't there. I mentioned that a smart QB will come back and throw it to the faker since it will be open. I was told that was nonsense and QBs are supposed to run the play as its drawn up. Here is an example of us doing that with great success. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_13.mp4 11 personnel. Here is an example of how Sark can manipulate the coverage with 5 receivers while simultaneously giving Arch quick and easy reads. Sark slips the back out center left knowing he is going to draw the attention of the MLB. However, we are working the slot defender. We run a curl right in front of him to hold him so Arch can hit the quick post behind him. Easy pitch and catch. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_14.mp4 11 personnel. This play is basically the same as the last play but we get to it differently. This time the TE runs a crosser that occupies the defender and we throw the same post behind it. Up to this point, this is the longest time Arch has held the ball. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_16.mp4 11 personnel. We motion Parker and now we know we are getting zone. We know the corner is going to bail to cover 3, so we are working the flat defender here. If he is slow to respond to the speed out we throw that, but if he jumps it the TE is sitting with a curl. Nice and easy read for Arch here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_17.mp4 Again with 11 personnel with 4 routes releasing to one side. We fire two verticals to occupy the safeties, then slip the RB out to occupy the underneath defender, all but guaranteeing the speed out to be open. This is where Arch has shown growth. Old Arch stares down the vertical here. 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_18.mp4 Here is another Arch growth moment. Old Arch doesn't see this checkdown and is sacked by the DE the LT has lost control of in the face of this blitz. This Arch has this ball coming out before the TE is even set. You love to see it! 5 idees pour porter des puces en topaze Elegance et style - Topa_20.mp4

November 2Nov 2 Bonus points for the Two-Face comparison. I enjoy your postgame film studies. Play #2: IMO, Niblett didn't help Goosby set up his block on the screen, or it would have gone for at least another 10 yards. Keep up the good work. Edited November 2Nov 2 by DFW Horn
November 2Nov 2 The conversation I had was, "Well,shit. It looks like all the things that didn't normally work, are working. Or Vandy defense is shitty." "Why not both?" "Yeah, everything is working. Candy D is shitty."

November 2Nov 2 Just now, Thatguy said: You are 100% correct!! On the 2nd screen down the right sideline, Play #8, the C - Robertson #62 - peels back to block a trail defender rather than working upfield to lead block. Is this how it's drawn up? I hope not.

That's DJ the RG, and not only is that how we draw it up, we frequently use that blocking scheme on long developing pass plays and have been the last two years bro.

It's like everything Vandy thought they knew about Texas blew up in their faces on the first play. Sark kept on abusing their blitzes all game too.

November 2Nov 2 The line played better and Arch hit passes he’s supposed to, amazing how “coaching” gets better when those things happen.

November 2Nov 2 Ultimately, the Good News is that we played four consecutive quarters of excellent football. The Bad News is that it was spread over two games, and we ended up in the wrong direction. All things considered, we look to be improving and even possibly to continue the Good News trend. Big, heartfelt Thank You to thatguy.

"Yeah, everything is working. Candy D is shitty." This was 2 fold. The Vanderbilt DBs just could not tackle the Texas WRs. Look at the clips and see how many of those screens are minimal gains if the first Vandy player makes a tackle. Look at even the blitzes. There isn’t the immediate pressure we were seeing. I don’t remember a full on whiff in pass pro in this game. That makes things a lot easier on Arch when he is not having to move off his spot immediately. Compare the fake the screen this week to the week prior. Arch is standing tall with a clean pocket when he realizes the go is covered. He can easily just flip it to the flat. That protection makes a ton of difference

Yes, I agree, DJ #52 blocked the correct man right next to Arch on the play I'm questioning. The block I'm referring to happened downfield around the 43-yard line. I guess this is what Robertson is coached to do, but we needed better blocks from Baker #73, Mosley #3, and Townsend #81 to spring this.
November 2Nov 2 We def need this good sark in two weeks. Arch can move the ball down the field if sark will run 4-5 wide with arch in th shotgun. Keep the RB and TE that’s fine but spread the fucking field and run uptempo 4 min offense and get the ball out. Those uga defenders will tire and run game will show up just enough. Texas defense if healthy can handle Georgia. Go score some fucking points playing college ball instead of auditioning for nfl owners and GMs bro. someone message CDC on this matter pronto!

November 2Nov 2 Another promising thing I saw was finally using Niblett as a decoy on offensive plays.

Except the RPO that he should have gotten thrown to on that would have been a TD and was a bad read by manning. It was ok and not game changing but would have been a nice read.

No. That looks to be him making decisions on his own and almost getting a penalty. Also, the blocking I am talking about with DJ fails the second we play a quality front with some speed. Like two weeks from now.

Also, the blocking I am talking about with DJ fails the second we play a quality front with some speed. Like two weeks from now. DJ's pass blocking grade was the 2nd lowest this week, according to PFF. Both guards need to improve, somehow, before we play UGA. Wishful thinking, I know.

Next step is looking good vs the Georgia's of the world. This Georgia is a lesser Georgia than last year's Georgia defensively, but still solid. These plays that were working with ease will still work vs Georgia, though for 5 yards instead of 20.

Like you say, we've moved in the right direction, but huge next step needed for stunts, twist arounds and you name it coming from much better athletes.

I disagree, Goosby is caught watching Niblett instead of getting upfield to the next Vanderbilt defender. Without that pause it's a TD.

November 3Nov 3 @Thatguy maybe you can write a little on how we can continue this at Georgia. From what I remember, their corners played up and either jammed or gave very little space for that short passing game last year. That forced Quinn to hold the ball which is death with their D line. And QE was elite at finding the quick pass but he was seeing ghosts after getting lit up a few times. No short passing game, and no running game vs. UGA seems like it might be bad.
