On offense-

Our last two games have figured out the stretch zone run. They are filling the cut back lane so allgeier can’t get his yards. Fix: pull Wake/Holker/Rex back as the h back and line him up behind the tackle and run some counters. This will also open up the PA game to them.


Our OL is also struggling getting to the next level. In our first few games you saw how easy it was for our guards and center to get to the linebackers. That is being taken away. Our footwork has problems and we are losing leverage too easily. Barrington was atrocious yesterday with this.


On defense

Almost the same problem, just opposite. Our DL is letting the opposing OL get to the second level. Our preferred method of rushing, aka the “bull rush” is very easy to defend if you maintain leverage. The bull rush is also easy for double teams to ruin our gap integrity. Look at the last two games (although it’s happened every game), all too often our DL collapses into the same place- making it so all three or 4 can be blocked by 2 or 3.

Pili, Wilgar and Tooley, and Ah You covered up a lot of this because they made plays. Now that Pili is gone, they have to make up for it, but can’t because their fill in is less than ideal right now.

Our DBs are playing well. A soft zone isn’t our DBs fault, it’s the play call- our LBers either aren’t getting deep enough or are getting too deep.

Our defense might have to change their identity due to all of this.

Kimdaddy posted a stat about the lack of possessions our offense is getting (average is 12 possessions per game and we are getting under 10), and how our offense is actually efficient given their amount of possessions. Right now our defense is allowing clock to bleed and points to be scored. If that’s the case, I suggest a change in identity going forward. Challenge the DBs to play 1v1 with a safety or 2 for help. Bring pressure regularly.
