Minnesota is one of the most popular teams not only in B1G, but in all of college football. Not only are they tough when it comes to how well they manage their football, but they are also the core of a team that wants to be strong runners. Most of their runs are between dives, like the inner belt from Power O to RB or Power O QB. With such strength on the field, there is no speed to threaten the team. So the way to take their football to the extreme is not to switch others or activate the WR screen, but to use WR in a different way to activate the whip. Not only did humiliation become commonplace to them, but they used it to make another escape. In this article, we'll take a quick look at the main Golden Gophers games and take a closer look at how they work with the rest of the gamebook.
On power: The main form of the Golden Gophers is the traditional Power O game, but rather than being annoying, Minnesota often takes it with a shotgun or shotgun. They will also use different versions of Power O such as One-Back Power, Two-Back Power QB Power. The blocking model is more or less the same for each of these games, the difference is usually in the background.
For example, there is back strength here.
Compared to the power of two rounds.
Note that the difference is that the blocking power in Power with one defender will be TE online, not RB. Now they are using the power of QB here.
Notice how CB does the initial calculations. This allows RB to take the lead, acting as a blocking leader, as well as allowing drawn OG to hit the hole in front of GB.
Read the inner rope The deep zone is a key element of Gopher's attacks. It works well when combined with power, but also attacks when dropped. In this case, Minnesota usually associates it with the QB reading.
One of the things that Minnesota has done for mobile QB is to run a game similar to a reading game, but instead of cutting FB, it tends to bend blocks to the second level.
At first glance, it looks like an inner circle for all intents and purposes. However, to prevent the QB from escaping, the DE is taught to push the inner belt while maintaining its limits. When FB accepts the remaining angle with inclusion, it essentially closes the section with DE, which is very active inside, isolating the second tier inside the QB. This is a great way to fight DE-sent discounts and LB-sent "for DE-traders" discounts. Both players are now out of the game, which is why Minnesota was so successful last year.
inkjet cleaner What is clear, Minnesota loves to dive. To hit the edge a little faster, they pushed the WR and passed the ball through the jet swing.
Overall, the locking scheme here is the same as the inner zone. The idea is that an already active WR would be too fast for the DE to stay inside and allow attackers to attack from the outside. But if Minnesota wants to attack from the side, but the DE doesn't shrink or expand (or the defense tries something like a cancer swap)
In this case, Minnesota simply blocked the front, taking RB by RB. Minnesota RBs must not only be able to hit the ball from deep, but also be good blockers, use good levers, and use the right angles to block defenders in or out, depending on their position and angle of attack.
Fake rocket As we've seen above, reactive whipping is often accompanied by other play, either inner belt or counterattack. As such, a fake whip can be used to "close" the finish line at the collision line, as the defender will be instructed to hastily hold WR.
In this case, you see Minnesota leaving EMOL to block WR, and QB reading the next defender inside. These are two players that must be blocked to act, not to attack.
Theoretically, the same could be done to power the Power O in the form of a rotating jet engine.
Or less commonly, the theory is similar. And here is the standard power of RB with reactive action. Note that a faulty transmission to a reactive receiver acts as a blocking unit in this power connection.
And as per the main game mentioned above, Minnesota can also use reverse play. Although the blocking pattern is different (Power O is now an example, not a simple game), it has the added advantage of being WR's main blocker option.
Fake Jet Sweep Ticket: And none of this prevented Goffers from passing the ball. One of the problems many teams face is that they rely too much on running to keep the defense fair. Of course, the receiver, with the exception of the start-off, is basically out of the transfer game, but the defense must advance for two or three different dangers during the flight, they must spread horizontally on the short belt.
Open the case.
As you can see, apart from the regular PA, which would be effective for jogging outdoors, there are different routes designed to attack different starting scenes that don't result in the transfer of the WR plane to the RB. In addition to the traditional running game PA, they can concentrate defense on vertical locks, as well as turn them sideways to surprise with big air pieces.
Packing: Nothing Minnesota does is overly complex or innovative. What's this. This is a very simple theory that works together to attack the defense in the middle of the blow. There will be some breaks in this team, but it makes QB easier to read; Having lots of people on the ball keeps them all fresh, if your RB is dynamic enough to be a good universal player it will be hard to keep up the many options that the same staff always provide.
Ohio had some of the best crime in the country in 2013. Part of the success came back from two sets, or rather, a gesture to the receiving slot - the role of Percy Harvin - behind his back. I think they lost the best RB in college football last year, but with the return of the dynamic Braxton Miller and all of their Harvinites, it's likely that the two defenders will play an even bigger role on offense this year. In this section, we will see why it is so difficult to defend this set of defenders both before and after the click.
Dilemma before filming The base set of Buckeyes will have four vertical threats. Often there will be 11 employees with split ends, slot, H-back and RB. Sometimes Meyer gives more than just a real view of the TE, including sides and grooves, or shows a set of movement types.
Assigning 11 or 10 employees instead of 21 or 20 represents a completely different approach to protection. Let me explain.
Of the 11 workers, four vertical threats were involved in the attack, one of which kept the horizontal threat and potential weight on one side of the field.
Probably, in this situation, the protection will be forced to use a nickel screen. In addition, shelter defense can be used in 3 different ways, which is very dangerous with four peaks. The defense is then forced to interact and make changes to mitigate the potential risk associated with these four vertical threats. The Nick Saban Fight Zone is a product of the three-team Cleveland Browns' surface used by the Pittsburgh Steelers' four verticals. Mattison (while in Michigan) placed his Shelter 3 right on top of a flat back (usually a "Support" lever guard or LB "Buzz"). #2 and just read #3).
But now the slot is moving to the back row opposite QB. Your defense has made all the calls, settings and communications, and suddenly they present a completely different spectrum of threats, especially in a racing game.
Now your old gaming options and various racing situations come into play. Your cover 3 or cover 4 should now fit nicely into your new look. Maybe you change the lever to a ledge (e.g. install a 3rd cover with what I call a "5th cover", which can be a three-tier cover with a "foggy" CB lever; set a 4th cover in the middle of the cover 6- th quarter). So all the new reports and checks that you need to do quickly, and all the new threats that you need, appear immediately in a new form. But you want an employee who can embrace both and has the intelligence to quickly adapt to both.
double race Now we will see how OSU launches several games that will be launched from the last two sets. We will briefly explain the theory behind each part and how they work together as a group, but to save this post a bit, we will keep it fairly brief.
offensive trend Defense has a few small advantages over Buckeye doppelgangers. It is almost certain that the initial RB will go in between attacks or serve as an advantage. The motion receiver (H) is almost certainly threatening to leave. More often than not, the spins will move in the direction they crossed the QB as they move in the opposite direction of the original alignment.
Straight upside down reading ability Power Read , colloquially known as Inverted veer , is an ink overlay scheme that uses a Power O block in combination with a read. I have previously worked on reverse tactics and how they work, discussed and demonstrated them in detail elsewhere.
QB Bash This seems like a reverse tactic, and the main reason known as "reverse belief" is the preferred terminology. Again, H flows straight ahead of QB. However, instead of the Power Lock pattern, blocking the inside zone in the opposite direction of the H movement is used before the start of the game. Usually in the inside field, FB blocks the H-back chase, but in this case, read the blocks to read DE. RB will then avoid EMOL and attempt to block the gang's defenders in case of alienation.
Boy Trey Now let's go back to the man block template, but this time we'll run the counter treytype block template . This also works with a single H-back, the same works with a double back. In this case, the H-equivalent protective cover will be pulled and corroded from the rear side of the DE. In the meantime, the RB will go through the hole and block the pull of QB if he holds on to it. In this case, QB can still read in favor of DE's game and decides to give it away if it fails in favor of DE's game. It works like this: the initial QB pass (playback slide) is followed by an H move to get the exact Power Read view after the field.
Thus, the background can look the same in three different sets of games, and in all cases, RB threatens from side to side. Meanwhile, Power Read threatens from the inside and plays with QB, QB Bas threatens from the inside and behind (with a cut on the side or outside of the game) and Counter-Gray, who is a little more dangerous on the outside (cutting a step inside). ) for the back. With these three games, any horizontal field of the field is basically threatened by two players and a blocker from above (adding a bubble screen in the background, or adding a playset with blocks - as shown in the opposite picture - can actually stretch horizontally). region).
Reading Features We can also use RB as FB and continue to threaten the scoreboard. However, this time OSU QB will read DE (or sometimes DT) while OL uses an outer zone blocking scheme. In addition, QB allows you to threaten the background of the game. Several defenders read and added the threats, which caused problems for the defense.
triple choice But if you have a RB like Hyde, or any other RB on the Buckeye list, it would be pointless not to use it in a racing game as well. Also, the defense reacts to something else. Also, the defense works just like any other crowbar that tries to stop the standard "reading" game. In this case, OL will block the inner zone in the original H alignment. RB will play standard inner zone playback depending on the type of reading, and QB will read DE. If DE remains, QB is returned; If DE fails, QB remains. If QB defends, he looks at the defender outside of DE and reads it. If the defender plays QB, roll to H; if the defender continues to expand, QB holds and cuts the field.
Here's a clip from OSU using a separate pad design (again blocks H-backs all over the plane).
sailing route Now the guards are back to stop the race. They threaten in both directions between opposites, they threaten in both directions. Even now, as a flood concept , the screen model offers easy QB reading as it threatens any defense because it loads one side of the field. Since it has three different levels on the sides and paths that threaten the middle of the field, it can pile up multi-meter large blocks and immediately threaten the end zone.
Conclusion The two rear kits offer different racing games. I have already written about the use of multiple backs in running games, both standard and readable . It also threatens jet swash , which has its benefits. Adding an extra defender to the backline reduces the vertical threat and reduces some of the ability to split the field horizontally, but adding a wrinkle to the attack distribution also adds what should be a defensive factor when preparing your team. And OSU is making good use of this stronger roster, as are all other college football teams.
Purdue is a "concept" group; I mean they had a few dozen concepts (more or less) and built a lot of them. In many ways it is a very effective way of building high speed, high speed destruction. They combine individual concepts and your playbook can grow to hundreds, but your players only need to learn a few dozen concepts (including racing concepts). You make the game easier for everyone: OL OL and QB, and above all your QB and WR. Since what you learn is limited, you can study it in more detail, which means you'll understand the details and adjustments that can be made immediately. QB and WR get a lot of repetition by just playing a few games, and they help each other read and edit in games.
One concept I would like to explore in detail is weak flooding.
Weak side flood
According to him, one of the concepts used by Erdu is weak flooding (often called the concept of QB Naked or QB Keep). This concept provides high/low readings on the CB and loop resistance; This is also known as reading triangle. Some defenders covered the space they used when running into weak formations because they needed a strong defense to withstand the dangers of flying. In addition, this concept is often associated with fake action games; The highway from the opposite side of the field serves as a downhill TE or WR, allowing the game to adapt to this pattern.
Green square = first key Blue square = 2nd key
Street
Hoekstraat
Erdu likes to sell purchased corners. It runs at a distance of 3-5 meters from the hash, then runs vertically before returning to the corner at 10 meters. It does a few things on offense. First, it helps to sell the PA a bit (cut edges or makes it more secure), but draws attention to safety and helps define CB coverage. By attracting the attention of the gender, you will prevent him from cheating so much. They also build a uniform wall so that it passes under the receiver flat, eliminating input-to-output coverage. As for the meaning of CB coverage, when the receiver comes, the CB follows or is released. When he called, the reading was clear to QB. When released, the cube can determine whether the CB moves backwards (opens the middle and returns to the inner third) or bends (keeps feet flat forward). This will help QB as we will see in the process section.
flat cross
TE always wanted to release it unless there was a 7-tech shield. He can only work under the 2nd line of defense, but ends up having to work 5-6 meters deeper when hitting the opponent's OT. At that point, he started looking for QB for the ball. Looking back, he continued on his way to the tangent line. When the throw window opens, QB throws the TE open (either to stop it or change it to its current position).
Middle Cross
Unless there is a TE and there are no 7 technical defenders, the receiver will always be released. On the other hand, it needs to be behind a Level 2 defender and work up to 10-16 meters (as a first and level hook/curve protection). Usually, the first rod is worked at an angle of 45 degrees for the first 5-7 meters. We will return to this "remote hash" concept at the end of the article.
Growth
The first key to a move is a defender outside the receiver, usually CB. When the CB sinks (short or deep with it) with WR, the key to moving is the hook/curve shield, which is moderate risk on plate and hash on hash.
CB is falling, stay inside
CB falls, Will change
My note says hook/curly guard, which could be the LB's weak side or deep security; Change and QB should identify the touch of the second movement. A mistake that can easily get your claim rejected is failing.
CB, FS sink is cooling
On the other hand, if the CB stays flat and stays flat, the lock on the next QB move works safely, and the right corner and center cross serve as internal/external threats.
CB set, FS cut the cross
CB saved, FS succeeded
QB are very comfortable with these criteria and it is important to get the ball out of their hands. In this concept, being present at the time of tossing is the key to a coin's success. The pitch is compressed if you flood one side of the court and usually drive in that direction. This helps with reading QB, but also allows him to play fewer defenses he's allowed to respond. After the move is made, the ball must be out of bounds and the QB must read the 2nd move touch and move quickly to the 2nd move touch.
Example
Example 1
Erdu is on the pitch in a triple formation (TE and two WR on one side; WMU at 4-3 with SAM loose and showing a 2-way defence.
In a moment you'll notice that QB gives the wrong outplay when OL starts to slip. The X-WR already faces deep security at home and the Y-TE faces a cross with long range LB. You can also see that the Z-WR begins the transition by working straight inward.
QB hits the ball and starts a naked roll to the right. You can see in the next photo that the CB is driving backwards, staring at the X-WR. Immediately, that is the key to turning your gaze inward. He threw the pitch straight away without anyone noticing.
The safe and sinking CBB was dragged down the banana path, the center cross wasn't even ready to be made, and as soon as the house windows were opened, the ball was out of QB's hands.
And it leads to TD
Example 2
Same formation, Erdu just reversed as it is now in the left hash. WMU showed a slightly different formation, SS folded under 4-3 above the gap.
As the receiver begins their journey, the mesh point sees the defense. WORK up to 2 levels and hit MIKE halfway before it's released.
CB follows X-WR clearly again but with the help of security above and QB sees CB fall, he runs the 6 step half pack, looks in and waits to see the second lock and waits to open the window.
The window opens and TD.
Example 3
Now let's look at the attacker, not just the apartment. Erdu had wings on the TE and the pitch in an I formation and the edge split at the boundary (in WCO parlance: emphasis on the left green), but we played the same game.
Here's a slightly different protection plan.
The X-WR started the banana path from the inside with the rod towards the hood, the Y-TE started a flat cross after the stroke sold out and the kite started going deeper into the center cross.
CB followed the X-WR, but when QB turned his gaze inward, he saw a weak sidecar swinging sideways. Growth should lead him to the middle cross.
QB won't find it or won't find it too late (which puts it in FS to bypass the route). If he had finished reading on time, he would have hit the cross in the middle of a fine win, but he couldn't because of his delay. He finished the cover one-on-one, it wasn't a bad call, and WR created a spectacular scene for Teddy.
Same concept, different look
This is where the concept of Keep comes in handy. Since we generally have receivers in the same three places, we follow the same basic concept because outside of games and QB do the exact same reads, but different staff may do it differently. .
Example 1
Here, the tympanic membrane features near-border stacks, a wing on the pitch, and a wide hash-cracked X-WR. A lone breeder stands behind QB in the middle.
QB fades a section on the right and OL slips on the left. The underwing prevents the ED from staying there. Downfield X-WR initiates turn-off from the inner beam. To return to the stack, WR dominance is a deep direction for safety when a missing receiver makes a middle crossover (a missing WR doesn't start slightly outside the main receiver, the stack often connects an external CBN to that receiver and the stack acts as a collision due to the two switch positions receiver with axis). Finally, note that when the breeder tries to get into the apartment quickly, only six fakes will work.
That's right - it's like a TE running on a flat track. Everything else is the same. The QB reading is the same. That means it's all the same for attack, but it's a new perspective on defense. Low flank in ED is enough to sell defense. When QB followed X-WR to cover, he could see that the eye immediately moved in and PA Arby had enough time to keep OLB from sliding onto the plate. When Arby returned to Los Angeles, he was kicked out.
That's what it looks like.
And it turned into a big win.
Example 2
Purdue returns in a single back formation, with wings on the tee and border and stacks on the floor near base. SIU has three depths on the back of the top layer of support.
No play action takes place here and both teas remain closed. Breeders work the pavement, outside WRs walk around street corners, and lesser receivers run to hash the field before threatening vertically and sitting on the hash.
It can be seen in the previous photo that the CB is flat and straight when clutching the Z-WR. QB immediately noticed because the scope of support was not well defined. But that's a big part of the game's design: pushing the staple cover; The external receiver enters the internal receiver and terminates it, but it is the external receiver that runs the corner and pause paths that enter the pause path. In other words, a roadblock was created to attack from the front yard. When the X-WR arrives at break time, the QB is ready to jump in and finish reading. The CB sits firmly on the bottom line and the fuse is fixed in it, making it easier to identify the diagonal.
This is what it looks like.
And to sit under the CB is a very simple TD throw.
Example 3
Oh, but our favorite West Coast Destruction book is Spider 2 Y Banana. And you can manage this game in many ways.
How does Arbi do a cross as a flat threat (by cutting FB DE), the TE of the match as a diagonal, and the opponent's TE as the center cross.
How about an unbalanced line, FB as a flat threat, TE as a diagonal line, and the back wing as a center cross.
The thing is, you can see a lot of defense and make things easier for the QB and receiver. That means it was a design failure. Basically, the concept is as follows: the receiver runs through the player into a corner street (many coaches practice throwing it like an "alarm", watch before you continue); The receiver goes out of shape - the edge of the plane, far plane or back and moves a short distance to the side; The third receiver threatened the middle of the distance behind the flat. When combined, these three paths make the triangle QB make the same sign each time.
