TE is usually used to set the edge in an RPO scheme. I guess you could run to the short side of the field on an RPO and bring the TE across the middle from the opposite side.

I think Oregon used to do it too but am thinking of how the Eagles run it if the QB doesn't hand off the TE comes off the defender and throw to him. Eagles do it with bubble screens too.
I think Syracuse puts up the most points on us at least so far. But yes I think we will try to keep the defense rested.
Cain is also big and it guess he is a pretty good run blocker. I do think both Cain and Ballungay get more targets with MHW

The run game is fine, because again, the Oline is really dictating things. If you are averaging 6.5 yards a carry at home, there’s no real need to throw it or risk a sack/turnover. It’s clearly about control and limiting mistakes.
The Eagles run that play to Dallas all the time but that's not an RPO, that's play action with a fake dive. Broadcasters have an issue calling any play the QB turns perpendicular to the field with a throw out of it as an RPO. It's simple play action.
and keep the ball out of McCord's hands. Limit their plays to 50-55 and we're in business.
yeah, that's going to be key. Get some sacks and hits on the QB. Hopefully that will lead to some rushed throws and turnovers.
Marion has said in a number of interviews he wants the offense to play fast. Says it's multiple in what it can do, but at its core it's a physical downhill running game that opens up shots downfield.
Do what Rocky Long did to the MWC for years. Get pressure, make the QB anticipate pressure even when they aren't bringing it. Get the QB to see 'ghosts' not trust his own eyes/reads of the coverage.
Bring pressure from all different spots. Keep QB and OL guessing where it is coming from.
A designed play like that would be a good way to get our TE's involved I think we have more talent there than we have utilized so far.
Thats what this defense is designed to do. We changed our pre-snap looks 3 or 4 times and made Keene have no idea where the pressure was coming from. Some times his line didnt even know who they were going to block.
Exactly. My post was worded funny like I was saying we need to do what Long's defense did. I was trying to say we are doing what Long's defense use to do to QBs.
It was crazy how fast we'd get to Keane with only 3 down lineman and a LB to be named later with 5 OL with a TE and/or RB staying in to block.
If I recall correctly we had no (or very few) false start calls. The OL has made really good progress. Limiting penalties is incredibly helpful.
Yep, if the TE is running a pass pattern he's going to have to go for a quick release or lineman are going to be downfield on just about any play.
I think the TE is going to be better served in play action once you've sucked in the LBs, that's what creates that whole.
We have to keep in mind that a lot of the Go-Go is predicated on using unbalanced formations and making a pre-snap read. Sluka always called the keeper on the option and--guys--his footwork when passing was atrocious. His backpedal was jerky, he likes to take an extra half step and the end of his drops frequently, and while he's got a pretty solid arm, he doesn't follow through so his balls sail, or he overcompensates and throws rockets that fall short or way ahead of open routes. And the ball doesn't come cleanly out of his hands so he throws a wobbling spiral which can be really tricky to catch. I liked Sluka, I wish no ill on him. Kids should be getting paid what they think they're worth and Sluka isn't an NFL QB. It looks like the Staff again thought of issues before when they brought in two QBs.
Keane was getting hammered all game. Took big shots even after he got off a pass.
Would love to see us use Ballungay more. The kid is a monster. Throw him the rock.
No question UNLV was in his head. We were in control of the game and had a late hit - usually not a fan of those things but it was a great way to keep in his head and with a decent lead, it didn't compromise anything. Well worth the risk.
He was never comfortable in the pocket. Pressured enough almost every drop back. Picking a few also gets into his head.
Hoping we can get some early hits on their QB as well. I liked the way the defense played last game, blitzing from different spots, so hopefully we didn't give away too much on the game film vs Fresno that Syracuse will be prepared for it tonight
If we get decent pressure, hurries … and we don’t have self inflicted wounds (turnovers, penalties) … we will win this game.
I hope we are ultra aggressive, but we need to stay away from any targeting. Because those can have a huge future impact.
I hate how liberally they apply that rule.
It's ridiculous that you go to tackle someone and just as you do the offensive player slides and you just happen to hit his helmet because he decided to slide after you dove for the tackle and that leads to their ejection. Ridiculous.
They changed the rule. A hit to the head with any part of the defenders body is only targeting if the runner is deemed defenseless.
If they are not defenseless. it is targeting only if you hit their head with the crown of your helmet. If they duck, and the defender keeps their head up it is not targeting even if you hit them in the head.
Who was it we had ejected a few weeks ago? It looked just like that he slid after the defender dove for the tackle and was ejected.
It was Elad, and he hit the RB with the crown of his helmet.
It’s easy. Don’t lower your head.
He also left his feet if i remember correctly can't do that.
He was aiming for the body when he left the ground, unfortunately the player was falling to the ground so he got his in the head.

I think that's easier said that done sometimes, if you aim for the body and the defender gets hit only because he dropped after you go for the tackle it shouldn't be an ejection. The NFL rule is better.
It is not hard. Don’t drop your head. If I keep my head up and the offensive player ducks his head and I still hit his head, it’s not targeting.
Players tackle hundreds of times/game without dropping their head.
They also make tackles hundreds of times while dropping their heads but no contact is made so there is no penalty. See it all the time in the NFL.
So it’s confirmed that Marion reads rebel-net posts. 😂
Nice TD by Ballenguy and Cain had a run earlier.
