1. Give the ball to Dwyer

2. Put the defenders in the dirt.

coaches today said there were 4 knock-downs on that play, and YES they track knock-downs
 
Seems like I remember an interview with CPJ late last year that discussed knockdowns. He said expects at least one knockdown on every running play and that we "succeeded" only about 30% of the time despite rushing for 282 yds per game. That was one of the main reasons he thinks we are miles away from where we can be as a unit.
 
That was cool.
Thanks,

p.s. Why do we have the WR blocking the LBer instead of the CB? Does it change around just to mix things up or does it have to do with the timing/effectiveness of the block.

that is what the coaches said today as well. they expect at least one knockdown per play and they stated that if you want to know if the D is playing well the best way to tell is if there are opponents on the ground

I liked the Thomas quote about that play, where he was talking about how proud he was to get his first pancake this season and hopes to get a lot more.:biggthumpup:

My take was this. Take a bunch of kids in pop warner who've been coached to block the guy in front of them for a year or two. Then teach the line to directional block 1 guy to the right or left, and watch everyone of em get a knock down. Obviously a bigger level here, but basically the same thing. AA on the CB was a very nice open field "here I come" block. 8 on the safety though was almost a blindside. Their guy incorrectly thought he'd made it past AA and was about to get a showtime hit on JD. The hunter became the prey. Part of the genius in CPJs offense is that you'll be coached that the A back (AA) is going to run up field after you, so if you get by him, you think you're clear, only to get blasted by the WR because they traded blocking assignments this time. Now that you've seen that, if you're on D, you never know who's gunning for you. As a result, you're either quasi flat footed reactionary, on 'defense' (not attacking), or you're charging in with relative reckless abandon. Either way, we should block you, and run right by you.

I love this O.
 
We really kick ass at that play, btw. That's the same one that Dwyer scored on late in the BC game (the game-winning TD), and the same play Dwyer scored on to open the 2nd half of the UGA game.

I think it varies depending on what the defense is doing.

I remember Birddog mentioning this. Ideally you want the defenders to get blocked just before the ball carrier get near him. If the WR blocks the CB, he'll block him too soon. The AB has a little farther to go, so the timing works out better. But like NC said, you can adjust all that based on how they line up. This is part of the pre-snap adjustment. It varies based on who's in the count. Which defenders are playing close to the LOS.

It has to do with timingbut I think it also has to do with Angles. The WR has a better angle on a scraping LB than the AB, plus he has more momentum and power. Its easier to seal if your coming down than it is if you have to loop around to get your body in position.
