Armstrong faced a lot of drop 8 this year

Interesting. Which defenses dropped 8? Would love to look at those games more

Captain Stubing

I would like to know this as well.

Me too! I'm impressed you've watched so much VA football

You know, I'd be more on board with a lot more frequent blitzing if I thought we had guys who are legitimate

Indy Coug

10/28/21 9:24am

sadly, I agree.

I would love to see at-the-line adjustments. Every down.

That is too much mental pressure on coach T.

Yes! This 1000x!

There are 14 sacks on this team split among 10 different players. Batty has 1 sack.

Indy Coug

10/28/21 9:31am

You have to try and get sacks to get them.

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:48am

Hard for DL to get sacks being double-teamed every play because we only send 3

Horacio Caine

10/28/21 9:53am

I feel like this is the real reason that we finally beat Utah this year.

Pangare

10/28/21 12:57pm

Go back and watch that game. Watch 5he safety blitzes from chaz

CarolinaCoug

10/28/21 8:51pm

Hard to know when all you ever rush is 3. Cause at that point 2 of your 3 rushers are double teamed. Sounds like a

unctoothman

10/28/21 4:31pm

Good point - and more importantly, you'd see QB hurries increase as well.

antiyewt

10/28/21 8:42pm

Aren’t most players double-teamed on nearly all plays?

BYU'01

10/28/21 5:34pm

CarolinaCoug

10/28/21 8:51pm

If they mostly rush three are remaining lineman & backs just taking plays off?

BYU'01

10/28/21 8:58pm

That’s fair. The OP was intended to be more of a debate of the merits of

ldssdl

10/28/21 9:35am

I think he is overvaluing any mental pressure exerted

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:48am

I think he is just plain scared of being burned over the top.

antiyewt

10/28/21 8:46pm

Development is an issue because Tuiaki doesn't know how to develop that style

mudpupper

This is where losing Pili really hurt the team. He was the one guy that could

Confirmation Bias?

here's to hoping

10/28/21 11:36am

Have we ever blitzed a CB under Sitake? Maybe we have but I can't think of any.

ldssdl

10/28/21 12:38pm

Either BYU lacks the athletes or the skills.

wilsdad

10/28/21 11:59am

Ever seen a corner blorz from shorr side of field? Safety blitz

CarolinaCoug

10/28/21 8:48pm

How often do we drop 8 guys into coverage?

molodyets

10/28/21 9:24am

I don't know where this stat is tracked, but ESPN said during one of the early season games this year

Indy Coug

10/28/21 9:27am

We have blitzed more than fans believe, but we haven't been very effective in

Archaea

10/28/21 9:31am

And lately have gotten burned badly on blitzes

Kajdin

10/28/21 9:33am

correct.

Archaea

10/28/21 9:37am

That’s because they don’t disguise them at all

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:49am

This..and send the wrong person and they are poorly executed

CarolinaCoug

10/28/21 8:52pm

Because BYU telegraphs the blitz- they seem to always know when it’s coming

ausgezeichnet

10/28/21 9:38am

Disguising blitzes is part of what made Bronco such a great DC.

ldssdl

10/28/21 9:41am

Or the players do. It's the conduct of the players on the field that telegraphs

Archaea

10/28/21 9:47am

That’s coaching. They coach them how to line up and disguise

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:50am

How many of those are run blitzes meant to fill gaps vs. blitzes to rush the

ldssdl

10/28/21 9:39am

FYI - 4 man rush is not a blitz.

mudpupper

10/28/21 10:07am

It is for BYU.

Blue for Life

10/28/21 2:01pm

I think it wise to define what a blitz is when having this discussion.

StalwartBraveTrue

10/28/21 9:34am

I don't know how they defined it — I'm just relating what they said

Indy Coug

10/28/21 9:35am

It’s bringing 5+

Washington St was the first time it was done consistently.

You underestimate how much three man rush since the ASU game

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:51am

Go watch the Utah game again.

antiyewt

10/28/21 8:47pm

Start of season like 40% by end of season 95%

Bobmarleyjr

Yup. He has a point, he also mentioned that part of the mental pressure comes

To me a preponderance of 8 with 20 percent disguised blitzes should

Not if a blitz consists of rushing three dl and one lb

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:53am

I listen to Dylan Collie on 1280 each week. He is very good at analyzing

BYU71

10/28/21 9:40am

The guy on the ACC Network last week said that Armstrong is very good against zone coverage

Indy Coug

10/28/21 9:41am

It will be. If it were up to me I would apply pressure not drop 8. However,

BYU71

10/28/21 9:45am

For how long have you been an analyst?

Archaea

10/28/21 9:46am

Football 62 years. Every other subject since birth.

BYU71

10/28/21 9:51am

Collie isn’t a defensive coach

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:55am

And you are?😁

BYU71

10/28/21 10:21am

Tuiaki does a lot of man coverage mixed in.

rad dawg

10/28/21 9:49am

This is correct: just b/c we drop 8, it's no always Zone Coverage

moknowssports

10/28/21 10:37am

Pretty much every college team pattern matches now - it's a staple of modern defense.

molodyets

10/28/21 10:47am

I specifically said dropping 8 works well against certain matchups and

ldssdl

10/28/21 9:43am

My fault and I am sorry. Just read Tuiaki and drop 8, not your whole post.

BYU71

10/28/21 9:49am

Habing 8 in coverage is not the same thong as tuiakis cover grass 8

CarolinaCoug

I was listening to the Manning bros during their broadcast and they were both

Blueto

Yeah it was really fun listening to them breaking down the MNF game in real time

RUNBYU1

10/28/21 3:47pm

Yeah qbs seem to be u see a lot of mental pressure as they setup tents back ther

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:46am

The mental pressure of sitting back and waiting for someone to get open? Or taking the 8 yard gain on the check down?

kimdaddy35

10/28/21 9:48am

it works against a lot of college quarterbacks BYU faces. It ain't gonna work on

Mayor of Cougartown

10/28/21 9:50am

Who has it worked against?

BYU '80

10/28/21 9:59am

Well the PAC-12 leader in touchdown passes failed to get one against BYU

Wazzu we dropped 8 more than any other game all year. Expect the same v. UVa. It is smart defense for their scheme.

Turnpike Lane

10/28/21 9:53am

It doesn’t work until the red zone where it occasionally works

BYU '80

10/28/21 10:01am

I think that is the goal. Slow them down, then try to stop then once they get to the 25 and have a shorter field.

Turnpike Lane

10/28/21 10:04am

Completely disagree and I hope I'm wrong.

antiyewt

10/28/21 8:56pm

It's true. We also disguise our coverages pretty well. We don't disguise blitzes

HONOMO

10/28/21 10:58am

I'd say that is BECAUSE of the secondary players, not because of the defensive scheme.

antiyewt

10/28/21 9:00pm

I would say that works better if you blitz early and get them thinking they have

I'm gonna be honest, watching a game on TV you can't see any coverages. And most people at the games can't tell the

molodyets

10/28/21 11:35am

If you know defenses most of the time just watching where a one defender drops

Bobmarleyjr

10/28/21 3:57pm

RE: My frustration is not so much about dropping 8..it is how those 8 defend.

rad dawg

10/28/21 11:46am

His scheme would work if we a front 4 that could get home every once in awhile

CancunCoug

10/28/21 11:58am

Not when it's a base defense..

Mental pressure? Come on dude. Maybe for some, but we have been picked apart way

Not much mental pressure when scouting rpt says there will be a giant hole 8-12yds downfield between hashes and it's

BlooGeek

It definitely puts mental pressure on CBers!

Roko's Basilisk

It’s called RPO. Just run the ball. No pressure at all.
