Better Adjustments?

[Htowngriz]

In the cat/griz game the griz pulled out all the stops by attacking the edges, fake reverses and the seam routes. The underneath routes worked very well because the cats defense essentially gave them that. I'm not sure what adjustments the griz can make on offense to match up with the base cover 2 or 3 the cats run. The cats will adjust the defense slightly to take away the underneath spot routes a bit.
The bobcat offense is going to lean on the heavy packages and the counters to negate the griz pressure and exploit their physical dominance late in the game.
Any griz adjustments to that will just be gambling with blitz packages and big plays. That makes for a crap shoot. Both teams are capable but the odds are definitely leaning to the cats.

Easier said than done obviously, but if we keep being aggressive on offense and build a substantial lead heading into the 4th, they won't be in position to salt away the game against a tired Griz defense, and will have to proactively try to win the game going down field. I like our odds in that situation with the personnel we have on the back end now.

I don't disagree at all. I actually think there is a good chance the griz hit a couple early big plays that put the bobcats on their heels and put some wind behind the griz offense and the game is over early. Much like 2021. I think the cats were the better team that year but not on that day.

Either way it's gonna be one for the ages.

Then Hauck doesn't think it's a myth. He's been quoted saying this himself.

Listen to the interview with him just posted. The Griz have actually done it against the Cats.

Griz will win if they can get guys in space...cats have nobody who can cover Griz slot receivers...

This is true for both teams.

This is true for both teams.

Cats don't have much talent in space. The Griz have that talent
