Here's our playbook:
1 wildcat.
1. morgan motion/squat down play to Gore up the middle
1. vernon davis seam up the middle
1. screen to moran norris
1. beautiful deep dig route to Isaac Bruce.
1. Pitch to the outside
oh and he ran a play action off of the motion squat by morgan twice, and it got like 6 yards. Thats probably a good reason why we didnt win the game, but i've been wrong before. Go watch the game again, but jsut watch our offense, and you'll notice how often he uses those 6-7 plays, its a joke.
Couldn't agree more with this poster. It's like we're playing Madden with most of the playbook missing. All the runs between the tackles with the same formation. And worse, it's like someone's little 4 year old brother playing Madden with most of the playbook missing FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! i.e. 100% running when in the lead, and 100% passing when behind.
twice now we've been behind late in the game (Cards/Vikings) and decided to suddenly go passing every down and, to Hill's credit, it has worked. But then as soon as we got the lead we went straight back to running the football EVERY down.
this isn't NFL playcalling, it's high school.
where is the play action? at the moment defenses are commiting so much to the run that on the one or two occasions that Hill ran a playaction, especially with a bootleg in the opposite direction to the run-fake, the QB found himself in loads of room and the D had bitten big style. Why not use that more? It might mean the D can't commit so much to the run and we might break a few.
How about 4 WRs to spread the D and if they respond trying a run up the middle in that formation? How about something to take advantage of fact they were stuffing the box? How about a sweep? A crossing route? A flea flicker? Like I keep saying, if I can predict the play 70% of the time before the snap, professional D-coordinators must be loving it.
