I get that, what things do you thing would draw a LB up? The threat of a QB taking off is one of them.

He was on the short list when E got the job. I like him alot.


And now he’s got a little more seasoning, learning under different head coaches (Day, Herman and Gundy).

I’m not sure about his recruiting but I don’t think he’s a negative there, either.

Right age. Right pedigree.

Or he's watching the running back. Watch our first TD against Florida last year. Burrow held the ball in CEH's chest long enough to draw in the LB or safety, then pulled it up and fired to Chase for the quick slant.

Same on the first TD to Jefferson against OU.

Absolutely worth a look. I'd be happy with that hire.

I get that, I know how it works. And you don’t need a mobile QB to run it, shite Foles was the first to really run it well in the NFL. But having a mobile QB does give it an extra dynamic. I guess in a way it kind of marries the RPO and the triple option.

Yurcich wants to install advanced tempo that can wear out opposing defenses and restrict their ability to communicate before the snap.
“Tempo is there to totally disrupt the lines of communications of defense,” Yurcich said. “Defensive coordinators — and Chris [Ash] knows this better than everybody — they want to see what you’re in, they want to see you line up, they want to signal over to their safety, they want to signal to the Mike ‘backer, they want to see where the tailback is lined up, what’s the guard and center spit on the back side, and they want to call all of that out and then call their defense. So what you want to try to do is eliminate that communication. The faster you go, the more you eliminate that



quote:

Yurcich’s job is to balance the advantages of tempo with disadvantages like running into an extra defender. As a result, it’s his job to reduce the number of plays included in the tempo package and the risks of going three and out quickly that could put a tired Longhorns defense into difficult circumstances.
“If you’re gonna fast, you better be efficient,” Yurcich said



quote:

Players, formations, plays,” Yurcich said. “That’s the philosophy moving forward and that’s what is most important. We gotta get these guys playing fast so that when they come off the ball, there’s absolutely no hesitation and that they know their offensive schemes better than the defense knows their defensive schemes. That’s how they can play their maximum and play to the best of their ability.



quote:

Who are our best 11? Our best 11 may not be our best 11 players — they’re the 11 that play together the best,” Yurcich said.
“I don’t care if it’s 11 personnel, 12 personnel, 22 personnel. Whatever it takes to move the football — and that may differ from week to week depending on who you’re playing from a scheme standpoint. So, agin, it comes back to players, formations — meaning how to you get your guys lined up and get an advantage — and then plays.”



quote:

Limiting and playing with tempo is a key,” Yurcich said. “At the same time, you don’t want to be at a disadvantage and not get your best matchups on the field. So there’s a balance within that.”
Yurcich also considers a 50/50 run-pass balance as ideal, but then quickly noted that it doesn’t matter — his emphasis is on a results-based approach focused on limiting turnovers and putting points on the board.

You’re selling Dive and LB’s are taught to take care of that first. That’s their primary key

Yurcich would be interesting.


I just wonder if they are making the new hire keep the old offense.
I feel like they would make them merge the old offense with their's.

That’s correct, there are RPO concepts where there’s the traditional Dive with a Bubble attached to it. QB does have the option to tuck it an run. That is considered Triple Option but many call it RPO

The defense isn’t going to be thinking about the QB running if they see an RPO mesh developing on a play. If your QB is running on RPOs, it’s because he’s either blowing the throw read and having to bail or he’s mishandling the ball at the mesh point and missing the window to throw.

I’ve seen a video a while back where Yurcich describes his entire offense using Star Wars characters. It’s quite entertaining and worth the watch

Dude you don’t have to be a running QB to run an RPO. It’s a read, not an offense

Max isn’t going to break long runs like Justin Fields in the RPO game.. BUT Max has plenty enough talent for the RPO to be very effective.
The QB in an RPO usually is making a read to decide whether or not to hand the ball off or throw the ball. And many times has a third option to run it himself.
When the QB does keep and run it himself, a simple 5-7 yards per run is plenty for the RPO to be effective and to keep the defense honest. And with the right reads, 5-7 yards per run should be fairly easy for Max.

That’s more of an edge case play, though. Most of these modern option plays are built around a single read to give the QB an easy decision to make quickly. With the RPO it’s a handoff or a pass. With the read option, it’s reading the end to decide whether to hand the ball off or keep it. You don’t see that second read added nearly as often. Many deviations on these plays are because of busts and mistakes.
