re: A QB "going through progressions" is old methodology. Tua doesn't do it.

IMO, progression is not something you want to do. You read the defense, and either go with your play or check off. If your primary is covered, or protection breaks down, then you progress to secondary, safety valve, or pull it down. Mind you, all this happens in just a few seconds. Crazy.


The problem is that a few seconds is too long. Tom Brady gets rid of the ball in the 2.1 to 2.25 range. Payton Manning was about the same.

I think progressions has been plan B since the invention of the foraward pass.

Mostly combo routes like Smash, etc. for different covers, MOFO MOFC, and the PSR keys the most profitable route.

This is false. Tua does it, and is quite good at it.

You lost any and all credibility in your title. Carry on.

It started with Jordan Jefferson. He didn’t go through any progressions. Maybe Les was the actual leader of this ingenuity. Hmmm.

You have no clue. There is plenty of film Tua going thru progressions and hitting his 3rd receiver. Of course his O line isn't shite like LSU's and gives him time to do it.

Ensminger has Burrow stalled (on every pass play) with a method older than E is. Get rid of the damn ball! Screw the progressions! Elite 2018 QB's make the defense react to them - not the other way around.
We'll there is one modern difference than the old Knute Rockne forward pass type of play where you decide that your throwing to a guy...

and that is it isn't called from the sidelines. The QB identifies that receiver pre-snap. Usually the guy who will have a 1-on-1.

That's all Tua is doing, looking for the 1-on-1 matchup and throwing to a place in that route where he was most likely to get the most separation.

It is not decided in the huddle.

That's great, as long as the D hasn't given a decoy look (which is most of the time these days).

The new alternative is to make the D react to your offense.

How a Hall of Fame QB used to read defenses... (pretty damn funny)

LINK

Maybe some HC's/OC's over-complicate things?

No one does this, and no one has ever done it.

You might be confusing looking off the safeties with going through progressions.

It's not the offense, its the players. Put Tua in a pro-style and go 3, 4, and 5 wide, with those players and you get the same production.

I wouldn't say no one does it. It's the origin of the term "happy feet". Over-analysis kills the passing game.

I think coach E has Burrow pondering the secondary, looking for wide open receivers, instead of throwing into tight (but achievable) windows on quick hitters.

Belichick has it right. Throw a ton of quick hitters to RB's, Slot receivers, and TE's. And then the wide-open long routes will open up. This season, RB White has 81 targets, Edelman has 44, and Gronk has 43. No Wideout is close to this many targets.

Lmao, no they don’t, that’s stupid. I know your mama told you to not go with the crowd and all that and to think for yourself, but in this instance you’re completely and 100% wrong.

All pass plays are designed to go somewhere, one receiver depending on where the defense aligns presnap will be the primary receiver. The other receivers on the play are progressions. I have never ever heard a coach say “even if the guy who the play is drsigned to go to is open, don’t throw in to him, look at everybody else”

Do you understand how fricking stupid you sound?

Wilson's scheme flips this concept. He (and Locksley) are skipping the time-consuming obligatory QB progressions, except in extreme cases. Or when the play breaks down.


No, they’re not. They do that on some plays, sure. Like all their quick bubbles and wr screens, of course they don’t get the quarterback to read the defense on that. But anything else down the field, if the primary guy isn’t there, they most certainly do go through progressions.

You’re dumb as frick.

It's more accurate to say that Tua and some other quarterbacks are good at identifying who is supposed to be open prior to the snap. At that point they typically identify a key. Basically they create an if statement in their head. If the safety x then the quarterback throws to A but if the safety y, the quarterback throws to B

that's actually exactly what happened on the national title game touchdown pass. He was looking for the tight end running the post but the safety bit on the post and he instantly threw it to the outside receiver

You're projecting.

Gary Danielson said the same thing on the Bama/LSU broadcast (that Tua is locked-in to many passes before the play starts).

Danielson played QB for 13 years in the NFL. YOU know better? LOL

You're also delusional.
