    If he gets a wheel route, he's gone. Runs a bit upright, but Juluke can get him coached up.

    Dang, Carrollwood Day has some big boys on the D-line... we might need to look at them some more.

    Clark is the real deal, for sure. I saw that in his last year's Hudl film.

    He's got some serious moves! Why only 7 carries?

    Do not recall if we run that type of play.

    Our play selection better change every year, because some of our rivals will be buying our players to get a better idea of what we are doing. I have to believe Richie Leonard was bought for that reason. If not, Norvell really is a horrible coach.

    I never thought of actually taking a player for that reason. Could happen, for sure. But, it probably happens more often that it's an added bonus, vice a primary reason to take a transfer from a competitor school.

    Why even hide the motive? Pay a scrub to transfer and make your opponent have to change a number of things every year.

    aTm must be kicking themselves after Scooby couldn't tell them anything about our defense since he never learned any of his assignments lol.

    Not to mention his position coach who went with him who didn't know what he was supposed to teach him.

    Really??

    There is a limited number of ways to run plays. Sure terminology can vastly vary between teams. We arent talking about the original coke formula or chick fil a breading recipe. Everything happens in the open there is tons of film and coaches talk directly and indirectly. Hell all one needs to do is pick up the phone and ask what the hell are you doing in this situation.

    The magic happens when you have talented players COACHED to the point where they are committed to success and failure has been eliminated. Even urbans spread was based on a single concept decades old.

    I guarantee that Saban didn't know which trick plays Malzhan had up his sleeves or Saban would have had 3 more wins against Auburn.

    Coaches even change up their play signals each week so signals aren't stolen.

    I agree that the basic schemes tend to remain the same, and then coaches run variations on them over time. But there is a reason beyond p r that practices are closed to the public throughout the college world.

    Trick plays according many here they are the bane of our existence. Nobody would be afraid of our trick plays or have a need to poach players to defend them.

    Defense is about discipline, determination, and play recognition. Tendencies wrt D&D, field position, formation, personnel groupings, time in the game, etc. You cant defend the unknown with anything but “surprise rules” on defense and playing assignment based on the called defense.

    Practices are closed for many more reasons than practicing trick plays.

    Not talking about trick plays only. There are a lot of things that opponents can learn from practices, and personnel tendencies is probably even more important than the play call. Mullen was big on receivers having to play every position. He didn't want to signal play calls with the receiver package in the game.

    Your impressions on defense are right on. We really need the discipline and grit. Spring game gave me some hope we can turn the corner.

    Not sure how much improvement to expect defensively BUT aubbie showed a big jump from ‘22 to ‘23 in coach Roberts 1st year

    anything more than incremental improvement will yield big dividends and contribute 2-3 more wins beyond vegas predictions

    The improvements will measured in increased 3 and outs, turnovers, tfls and sacks/pressures, improved starting field position for our offense, decreased explosive plays, and 3rd and long conversions, missed tackles, assignment busts and stupid penalties.

    in short improved defensive performance will be the coolant to reduce any perceived hot seat talk

    That gives me some hope that he has had some success in P4. Defensive improvement will be key. Surprisingly last year our percentage success rate was around Georgia's, but our explosives were off the chart. Some of the worst offenders in coverage mistakes and missed tackles are gone, so at least addition by subtraction could help.
