That is man and I am not sure what the hell is going on. Looks like McDonald or Taaffe has the RB. No way McDonald can get there though from his alignment, but he feigns a blitz and takes off immediately after the RB. Taaffe goes but turns when he sees the RB pass him. You would think it is Taaffe's guy but I do not know based on how the 2 safeties reacted. I may lean to this is just a great offensive play call vs the defensive call. 

I think McDonald is a spy here and getting back to the middle and just sees the RB streaking out uncovered.

Nah, he isn't watching the QB. He is looking straight at the running back from the beginning. That's his man. I think what was said earlier is correct: we expected the RB to chip Taaffe to buy time for McDonald to get over.

In no world would he align on the opposite side of the field from his guy….

He may have busted but you don’t take a step forward at full speed on a “pressure” then back track to get to a RB who was aligned on the other side. 

Maybe not a spy, but I can’t think of anything else based on alignment, and his actions post snap.

If that’s on McDonald then I’m going to guess he is significantly misaligned.

Taffe is probably a pressure/add and if the RB peels out he goes with him.

He may have busted but you don’t take 3 steps forward at full speed on a “pressure” then back track to get to a RB who was aligned on the other side.

I think the call was overly complicated. If the RB lined up on the other side, McDonald would have blitzed, and Taaffe would have rotated over. I think we were trying to trick them and then they played us by leaving our edge unblocked. Again, he is tracking the RB immediately. He isn't doing that as a spy. Whether it was just a stupid design or if McDonald busted and was supposed to rotate immediately rather than show blitz, I'm not sure.

Yep. We were moving the spy around all game. 4 is the spy here and by the time he is peeling off the pressure look the ball is already coming out. In 99% of football if a guy in Taafe's position sees the RB leave the backfield they go with them. We used to call this a green dog blitz back in the day. Not sure what the kids call it now.

Yeah, well whatever it was, it was stupid.

 

That is the problem with bad coverage, sometimes you cannot figure it out.

Taafe should be green dog.

McDonald is spy.

The other one is cover 3 and CB should have seen the TE release.

Here's to hoping the new defensive backfield can play a little tighter, play more man, and force Reed to throw to the side, limit easy YAC, make good tackles. 

It all seems so simple now

A lot of the stuff we used to do has completely different names now. The route tree. Everything. Lol. Sucks getting old.

Thanks for walking this thru.  Taaffes actions were interesting.  At the snap, he’s rushing as though there’s no chance the RB releases even though that’s his intent the entire time.

Pretty great anticipation with the play call.

You gotta be able to play zone these days with all the mesh concepts and man beaters. Right now what;s been killing us is an inability to locate late releases or TEs in general. And to be honest, there is no way Arkansas should have the time to slip a TE out after two mississippi and their QB stay upright long enough to complete that. D-line needs to get home quicker.

That is another issue. Texas does a lot of contain rushes vs mobile guys and even some immobile ones (see Florida game). YOu need guys to stay in their lane, though I may just tell Colin do his thing. He is one of those players that can get away with breaking rules.

Yep, you gotta get creative with pressure while maintaining rush discipline. If I were coach I might sacrifice a couple explosives early just to get licks on Reed and speed up his clock.

Got to mix it up. I think Reed is a 1 read QB. If you give him his 1st read and clean pictures, he will throw for 300+

The aggression is fine, but he needs to change his path.  He's gotta be able to peel (and contain outside but he can outmanuever most QBs).

yeah, aggy is in a lot of ways a better version of the arky offense.  Don't give easy throws over the middle, don't lose track of the TEs, and play sound on the edge in the option game.

Feels like the DL is always half a breath slow on many of these late releases.

I’m more worried about PK deciding to run man all game and let Reed take off of 100 yards rushing.

I've gotta believe PK will mix up his coverages and change up who spies Reed play-to-play.

It's been said before, but we've gotta play more inside leverage against aggy receivers bc they're killing teams with crossing routes over the middle.
