Hurry-Up Offense Will Gas Our O-Line

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

If not more

 

[Htowngriz]

90, c'mon. Both AG1s disagree, and well, we all know they know more about football than Coach Stitt. Just ask 'em.

They do both have plenty of experience hurrying up to be first in line for their next trip to the buffet.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

So, Dill was dead wrong. Again. I'm shocked.

 

[bgbigdog]

I think they'll be more impacted by it being smokey and loud.

Ball intended to come out pretty quick in this offense, not a reference to fumbling. O-line won't be running full-tilt like the 11 in yellow and green who are supposed to be running to the ball each play. Stitt answered the question after the first scrum. Not that he would know...

 

[cclarkblues]

Come on guys. Growler has proven over and over that he is a genius on the level of Wyle E Coyote. Cut him some slack.

 

[Umista]

Stitt even mentioned to me that some of the defensive backers also get tired. LBs and DBs all need to run like crazy and Stitt needs to call plays that include tiring out these guys also. All it takes is one play for a defender to slack off and the QB finds our open man and away we go.

A first down on the first few possesions will make us. If we are held to 0 and nothing we will be screwed until we can.

For me it's nice to see Atlanta/Growler back in the saddle. He has a good point. But he needs to know more about Stitts design. Plus I can give him hell and argue with him as I try to keep him out of EGriz Jail.

When has this type of offense won a championship? I guess the Patriots kind of run up tempo but they were very lucky to have won.

 

[Grizzlies1982]

I fear better questions are:

Will Montana's Hurry-Up offense cause Griz fans trouble...

1. Running to the fridge for another beer between plays?
2. Prevent them from hitting the bathroom until each series has been complete?
3. Cause a lot of burgers to get burnt outside on the grill?

It may take awhile breaking the old habits when we had more time between plays. :ugeek:

Name ten teams (FCS, FBS or NFL) that you think have "this type of offense"

 

[Atlanta Griz1]

If we are running 90-100 plays, yes the O Line will be pretty tired, but guess what, so will the D-Line and absolutely more so. The O-Line doesn't have to try and chase down somebody every play and make a tackle.

Ahhhh, but what if the opposing team has depth at the D-line position, and can rotate players in to keep them fresh. Then who loses?????? An offense which prides itself on trying to run 100 plays per game is not the offense to have zero depth on the O-line, that's a given.

Show me a Big Sky team with that kind of depth on D-Line. I will love any of them to rotate in their second stringers. Remember, ideally, they will be having a difficult time subbing players during drives. If they do get someone in, it's hard to know wtf your supposed to do. We aren't going against Ohio State here, that depth doesn't exist.

EWU, MSU, and NAU have better second string D-linemen than our second string O-linemen. NDSU and Liberty do too. They are the teams we worry about, and it will be a factor. Remember, with our injuries, we will be playing kids who are young, inexperienced, and in some cases way down on the depth chart. Watch and see.

 

[Atlanta Griz1]

Oh noes, our o line will get tired.

Good thing we haven't had a conditioning coach working with the whole o line (and team) to prepare for it! Oh wait... We have.

Well then consider we have no depth anywhere on the o line and they get no reps. Oh... Right, 2 to 3 backups have been in an out of the first string line and have played 75-85 plays in two scrimmages in 5 days and have only shown daily improvement.

It's just a bummer we don't have a coach who can bring these men along... Whoops, forgot, we've got a great o line coach in Germer.

And it's not like Stitt has ever run a hurry up and is able to mitigate the fact that the OL may get tired... I mean if you take out the last decade or so that he has already.

Smdh, hahaha

Your points are a joke, and only show how you are a big league sugar-coater. The line is NOT showing signs of improvement, contrary to the sucrose you spew. We have ZERO running game, our right tackle gets owned on most plays, and our center floats the hike so much that the defense almost intercepts it before the QB can grab it!

I will be vindicated soon enough. I am a very knowledgeable football observer, and the pin heads taking shots at me in this thread are only showing what ignorant hacks they are. Keep telling yourself we will be fine on the offensive line. We may give up more sacks this year than in any year in our history. Mark it down!

Now you're talkin'. This is where the fans have to step up! :lol:
(1) Think we can handle the beer sprint.
(2) Could get uncomfortable, but a little pain is supposedly good for the soul.
(3) Hmmm, you could have an important point here. I foresee lots of burnt beef. Better order extra patties.

But NOW we're finally getting to the really serious issues!

I posed this issue to Coach Stitt during a round of golf and his answer was very informative as to his philosophy. For starters the o-line does not have to chase down a ball carrier - wether it be run or pass -while the d-line does. An o-lineman has to lay down his block and hustle to the next line of scrimmage. A D-lineman has to chase the play till the whistle blows. The o-line coach is tasked with watching his line closely during the game and when they appear to be getting tired he passes that info on to Stitt who said he then will call one of his more than 20 versions of the wide receiver screen. When the wide receiver screen is called the o-line has to hold its block for about two seconds while the d-line has to sprint to the sideline and chase the play..and sprint back to the new line of scrimmage because of the speed of which the next play is called. Stitt expects to have the offense lined up 17-20 seconds after the whistle is blown on the previous play. Basically when a wide receiver screen is called the d-line has to run two 20yd sprints and then be lined up for the next play. Stitt said he will often call the screen to the wide side of the field to make the D run even farther. Part of the reason he goes for it on fourth down is to "mind f&@k" the defense. He loves the look on the defenders' faces when they get all jacked up after stopping the offense on third down and then realize they have to defend a fourth down. Even better, he says, is when a defensive coordinate wants to change personnel on a third down play and the defensive players refuse to do,it because thy are too tired to run to the sideline. He told me he sees that a lot. Coach Stitt has been running this offense a long time and is definitely conscious of its impact on his linemen. They will be well conditioned and ready to run an uptempo offense and execute 90+ plays a game.

Do ya THINK that a new coach trying to sell his wonderful offense might hype the vast superiority it has on defenders? God, some of you are too easy. If it is so wonderful, why isn't every team in America running it? You'll be the same ones jumping from the band wagon when the NSDU defense owns our O-linemen. But, keep playing golf with the coach, if his coach-speak impresses you. I know most of the pedestrian fans on here are duly impressed.

When was the last time you were happy with the Griz during the pre-season?

So I have to choose between your detail oriented, rational, excellent post or growlers flatus.......

That was 100% coach speak. How did The Mines EVER lose a freakin' game, I tell ya! Every team in America should play golf with coach Stitt and get educated on offensive football!

Don Trump knows everything about Griz Football.


He mentions the fact that all other teams are stupid.

When was the last time you were happy with the Griz during the pre-season?

I am the rare realist on this board. Now, I hang out with many knowledgeable Griz fans, including several former Griz players. They share most of my concerns. But, since this board likes to think that the Griz are still a national power, even though they can't even win the weak Big Sky conference now, then you boys keep swilling the Kool-Aid. To answer your question, I was happy every season from 1994 until 2009 pre-season. Not so much now. And, I will not be happy until we return to being an elite program. That will not happen this year or next, for certain.

Weird. I didn't see "Dill" on the list of coaching finalists. What was Haslam thinking? :lol: :lol: :lol:
