Inside the Playbook - Ohio State Sequencing with Throwback

Earlier I talked about how teams play backwards in their opening season . Threatening to run away, jump և throw back, you keep the threat on the ground. In the 2021 opening game against Minnesota Minnesota, they actually started attacking Minnesota against each other before they even got into the opening game. Seeing how Minnesota responded to the pull's start, Ohio felt they could win their fight with their in-room WR.

Let's see how OSU attacked three of the four levels in their revenge.

Belarusian railway, delay TE

Bypassing the standard concept of "leakage" . I like the fact that the initial warning is that RB is dealing with binary. I have often said that the most forgotten person on the field is the player who just received a fake transfer. The defense, of course, excludes this player as a suitable host, thus often becoming the most dangerous person on the field.

However, delaying the TE also allows the attacker to actually sell to take action, which allows the TE to return to its starting area, blocking the defense inside, before traversing the field. The overall picture creates a fairly easy high-low reading for the QB և leads to a good win.

I like the idea of ​​becoming unbalanced or changing it (OSU is developing the invalid TE field discussed here, number 1 should be ruled out).

When it comes to training / coaching, there are a few other challenges to consider. OSU starts with an unbalanced ATV. This often leads to a defense review, as it is a one-off series, often with someone covered in the press. There is a corner of the TV that indicates that the external WR is outside of LOS, but keep in mind that the external WR, the slot և not the 3, are in different dimensions from the beginning, which can do so. that one here actually thought about TE.

Moving around և on the internet makes it a legal: balanced formation. But there is only a limited time to make the initial call if Minnesota wants the ball to run. Lack of communication skills, especially in a game like Bounce, can make it difficult to complete tasks.

And you see it. security flash. CB brings WR back to position, then's promising encounter with OSU with its RB և TE against LB, initially threatened by weak LOS operations (though you can see that they do not try to sell hard when operating because they want the protection to really be there.

deeply

This is a repetition with a cleaner loss by deeply replacing the TE loss path. But in the end, it's a double rack that pulls the defense on the throwing side of the game, with a deep, deep attack on the third half of the court.

The same basic idea as for a flight. Roll in half in one direction. Two WRs are selling these shares. Deep, not inward. Under the apartment is still from Belarus. Nice bar pic.twitter.com/NboS5StJCf

Some other aspects that stand out in this game are the short movement of the TE from the wide position to the t position. First, it should help determine whether it is the person's coverage or the area that is most important, as it is not a clean path to TE losses, it is a deep path. Losing TE is quite inviolable as TE loses in coverage no matter what. The X-Over is unlikely to be lost, so it will probably be the first (or at least faster) to catch the QB's eye on one of the mail throws.

The short sentence also has the benefit of making it a pretty decent story. This short break phase is common, especially for disconnection connections, which OSU also sells by pulling the fuse.

The short balloon is also a natural way to get into the condensed net on that side of the court. This usually means that X has internal levers against his defender, which is likely to cause him to split even when standing with a masculine cover.

corner seat

This is how Bakay attacks the third of the four return zones, deep deep. Traditionally, when you think about hitting from behind, you think about the other side of the field. But, as I mentioned in my previous article on backwardness, some form of protection helps reduce open grass against cracks; it drives extensive safety work to support any crossover. This can leave open space that can be used.

This game is not like Leak, but instead uses the general gravity QB throw, the routes are based on traditional casting (flood, fracture, etc.).

OR CONNECTED

So, they spent 2 games in response to this action. They are running it this time և Minnesota D decided not to follow the rules of engagement as they scored twice in the return leg.

I think the main nuance here is that the F-WR does not overload the turnaround route. Why? It's all about getting to the center of the field (MOF) fast. Is open. He does not need to spend time selling the corner, պատահ something happens, he just wants to press his body to the corner to gain security, and then take a break from attacking midfield.

Here, when returns are not open, deep returns and drops become options for hitting the QB.

Conclusion

Even without announcing the start of the game, OSU returned with great success. Minnesota was extremely aggressive, trying to close the room, thinking that OSU could try to make things easier by betting on their new QB. As a result, Buckeye's extremely talented receivers were able to operate in space and play great explosive response games.
