Agreed. Hate the fade, unless it's Beck to Harline

Going into last season I thought fades and red zone throws to Mitch Mathews

It would've been effective if the QBs hadnt continuously thrown it out of bounds

Yep, too many overthrows, which is bad cuz MM is 6'6"

And having taysom in the blue zone created alot of different options

I remember 2-3 TD's that he caught on a fade that were out of bounds

I will say this, Mitch's routes may be a contributing factor

Drove me nuts when that would happen. Give your guy a chance.

Mitch needs to not run right down the sidline. They are both to blame.

Agreed, see post above

My guess is mitch isn't strong enough to get off the press and gets pushed
Ebolarama

..and teach.the press technique to the Cougar CB while you're at it

the route is meant to be run 1 yard inside the sideline to the five yard line if

In the NFL, the only place it ever works, the WR lines up way inside so they
Ebolarama
3/26/15 10:17am
read it, the route is run along the sideline to the goal line 1 yard off the OB
ChinaFan
3/26/15 6:28pm
Nah. You need the threat of the slant for it to be most effective
macaroni
3/26/15 6:30pm
yup, and that's the point, the guy running the inside of the fade guy has to be
ChinaFan

You can run a slant 5 yards inside the line easy.

Or held the ball and thrown it waaaaay too late

Does that fade route into the corner of the end zone work for anybody

Cody Hoffman caught his record setting TD on a fade against BSU in 2013
AFcoug7
3/25/15 3:09pm
Yeah, its incomplete or a TD which makes it a great option. The Herman Moore
Mickey
3/25/15 3:09pm
Or an interception but you can say that about every ball thrown into the end
RC Vikings
3/25/15 3:36pm
Agreed. It seems like a good idea but has been extremely inneffective
cougarnw
3/25/15 4:38pm
uh...yeah. do you watch any other teams?

No it's not, the back shoulder throw works the fade into the corner does not

who are you responding to? i think you're confused.

Fade might be the hardest throw in football.

And the dumbest play to run. Back shoulder fade, ironically, maybe the best.
Walter Bellhaven

They are rarely completed and a very diffacult throw for the QB...

He's tall, but not big like an Alshon Jeffrey, nor does he tend to high point

Great post and that seems to sum up that play last year. Plus it did seem to be
Mickey
3/25/15 3:12pm
Thing is, he's being coached to throw it out of bounds. If you underthrow a fade

Being a Carolina fan, I saw a ton of Jeffrey in college. Probably the best

matthews is the best out of bounds receiver i've ever seen

Sideline, biggest issue imo with Mitch

fade is dumbest playcall in college football...such a low success rate
nashty

and perfect timing.

I'm not sold on Mathews' ability to go up and use his size to fight for it.
southernfriedcougar
3/25/15 4:01pm
he had a bad habit of catching every ball up against his body...
icecougar
3/25/15 7:18pm
He was too busy catching WR screens and 5 yd slants last year...
icecougar
3/25/15 7:09pm
matthews doesn't play big, and he's definitely not physical. that doesn't work
