For the people who actually played the game...

Depends on the scheme. Good coaches scheme around their talent.

Here's my biggest issue why what O is doing to Canada-

After State he eliminated tempo. These are when you get most of your busted coverages/assignments. Cheap yards

Going max protect when the box is loaded actually hurts your Olineman, especially the young guys. This allows exoctic blitzes to me much more effective and with less options for the QB, you have to hold your block longer.

Eliminating the shifts drives me nuts, as a QB, you can identify the defense by their movement. Makes checking into a run or pass very simple. As an OC you can pick up tendencys. Look at Devin White on D. He knows the O's play before they run it. The same principal can be applied to offense. Also you can shift and move without making your right tackle and guard moving.

O has nuetered Canadas offense because he doesn't know what the fuch he's doing.

I played defense, and it wasn't overly difficult. Terminology and changing positions can get confusing especially during the game.

I agree to an extent bc motion determines man or zone and although it helps the QB, it has done nothing but confuse our own O line.

Fundamentals don't change regardless. Still have to block and tackle. Fundamentals are a coaching function. If you haven't taught the basics you can't build on anything.

The foundation is weakening by the minute

On offense, allot of it comes down to the capability of your qb. It seems we have had a bad run of qb's who either can't read the coverage or can't make the throws if they can read the coverage. We are always waiting on the next guy who can do it. Meanwhile, nearly every other college seems to find that guy every year.

As a pro Madden player, I can speak from experience and say it's really easy. You just have to change the playbook and check to see where the X's and O's are going.

Honestly Its mostly terminology.

Back when I played high school ball we switched from running I-formation to running the wing-T. Lots of offensive lineman pulling. It didn't work well for us at all at first, because our big slow lineman couldn't keep up with the speed of the linebackers and get to them.

I played and lettered 4 years

We switched offensive systems between my sophomore and junior year because we had a change in quarterback that fit the new system better. Were there some technical difficulties? Absolutely.

But when you have a block to make or a route to run, its about memorizing that assignment. Blocking doesnt change, catching the ball doesnt change.

Anyway, we won district that year but lost to Lutcher in the first round of the playoffs. you were talking about high school right...?

Play calls from HS to college get incredibly more specific. The "strong right, 3-4 power" from HS is more like "deuce right, jumanji, solar, 3-4 power...48 is the mike, omaha omaha, killkillkill, red 19" in college. A 25-45 degree step typically gets a stunt blocked in HS but guys are so much faster in college & the fundamentals combined with the terminology is a huge leap (pun intended) for players, especially young players. Some REALLY detailed coaches input scheme/terminology of blocking into their play calling to try to help the players "think" less & react based on the terminology recall. But that requires a certain type of player/unit to grasp

Exactly.
