Jesus fn christ.

Watching the game I kept thinking "boy, jet motion sure is working," but then I went back and watched some of the replays and holy smokes it's, like, all we ran. I mean, we ran ten things out of it but every play just about was some kind of jet motion. We are the jet motion offense. Replay:



The highlights of the 3rd drive show 10 plays, 9 of which were some flavor of jet motion and the other one was the goal line TD run for a yard. (start 7:40)

Dan Casey on insta is a dude I follow, he threw these up.

H back screen out of jet motion.



Same side counter out of jet motion.



..Corner smash(??!?!?) out of jet motion.



This basically a jet motion out of empty quads for a QB counter.



Second play of the game was the stock jet sweep, which set the tone. (timestamp 152 sec)

If it bothers you, go find some of the plays run by The Fridge 30+ years ago.... a lot, I mean a lot of speed motion.... or go find The Fridge's playbook... it's out there on the InterWeb somewhere... yes, I have a e-copy.

In fact, I thought I was watching a game called by Faulkner as Fridge would've done.
 
Doesn't bother me at all. Jet motion is a fun thing to anchor an offense around. And we weren't even running mesh with it yet.

My only concern is if we do nothing but jet motion and they do nothing but practice it we lose the edge.

If we can do half jet motion stuff and half mesh-rail concepts, then the linebackers have too much homework to do in 1 week of prep time.
 
I remember when they interviewed Kirby Smart about PJ's offense- the nuisance of preparing for it, repetition of plays, etc he said something like "if it bothers you, beat them on the field and it won't bother you anymore". PJ would run the same play repeatedly until they stopped it. That's what good coaches do, and Key is looking more and more like one.
 
I don't disagree, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we did not run the same play. It looked to me like we ran jet sweep once, they saw it, got beat by it, implemented their "jet sweep adjustment," and then we ran wild exploiting their one pre-baked adjustment with a bunch of plays that weren't jet sweep. They just all looked like it presnap which held them into that adjustment.
 
Faulkner’s offense is much more like an updated CPJ offense than a Fridge offense. Basically, derived from the air raid rather than the run and shoot. Faulkner’s offense takes advantage of the rules that lead to everyone being a shotgun based offense.

Fridge’s offense had a smaller number of plays out of a lot of different looks. By lining up then switching the formation, the qb could get an idea of the defensive call.

Faulkner and CPJ run a lot of plays out of the same look to keep the defense guessing.

It is nice to have an offense other teams want to copy.
 
This was not a Fridge offense at all. This is very technical and it's built on a lot of concepts that are actually quite popular in the Instagram Football Play Nerd Circle Jerk community. If we start running Mesh Rail out of it, you know our OC is a net junkie. There will be a couple of you who will yell "That's the old CPJ Wheel Route for 30 play!" and you'll be two thirds right, but it's working for slightly different reasons.

And tbh Mesh Rail would work with this quite well, especially if the LBs are in man and following the jet motion across the formation. They'll all step on each other's shoelaces in a confusing mess.

Can someone explain Mesh Rail please?

Two tight receivers run shallow crossing routes that cross each other through the box trying to get the linebackers tied up while the RB runs a 'rail route' which is sorta like a wheel route but gets upfield a bit quicker. In theory it can be covered by 3 LBs but in zone they'd have to know when to pass off their responsibilities and in man they might end up running into each other or our other crossing WR.

 
Imagine this (rail route off jet motion) but with those two weird "mesh routes" crossing in the middle.



That'd be a nightmare to try and coach your LBs on how to defend, unless you decided to just sit the whole game in a George O Leary 4-3 base all game, which of course has it's other disadvantages because it'll get Dantzlered.

we already run that

go look at 3rd and 5 with 10:25 left in the first half
 
stuff like this is stuff we can easily work into our concept

ooo good call

That's mesh for sure. Whether it's 'rail' or not is arguable but it's pretty damn close to what I'm talking about if not exactly how it would look for us.

Thanks for that.

This is the same play broken down by Aaron Murray. Wider field view. The jet motion guy runs a wheel and has man coverage and wouldn't be a bad option to throw to for a big play if it weren't 3rd and 5.
