re: Canada called an amazing game

Big pass plays skew the numbers some.
I don’t understand why we don’t have a single slant or bubble screen package off of the motion

We have DL, not LBs running free... DL with a hat in front of them, meeting RBs just after hand off. Too many screens would scare the shite outta me.

And then there's Etling. I really don't think he has the read ability to improvise that your screens require sometimes.

While I agree that some select one's run at select times is needed, I think severe moderation is required with our personnel and frankly should be a play of last resort for us because of the risk.

Worth noting we started to see more passing to the flanks, especially RBs. And now we have started to see skinny and quick posts (they just don't execute them well). So there is some 'evolution' going on there. I think it's coming. Not any secret playbook shite, or 'saving it for Bama' bullshite, but because of Canada installing it and practicing it to a level where he's comfortable with it enough where it goes from being a risk to being an advantage.

Also worth noting we're stretching the field in other way horizontally. So other than taking advantage of an over-aggressive D, especially LBs, then there is no reason to choose those plays over others. Canada seems to prefer to outflank to get players in space rather than go over them. Both, if working, do the same.
