I was watching ESPN last night and saw this timely piece, former 49'ers head coach Steve Mariucci asked Heisman Trophy winning QB Marcus Mariota to draw up his "favorite red-zone play".
Mariota said we like this play alot, because we like our match-up with our "Y" (Split-out Ryan and Bingham type player) on the defenses' SAM linebacker (strong side LB) or SS (strong safety). Formation-wise, they run 10 personnel (1 RB and 0 TE), shotgun QB, single Halfback, and 4 receivers (X,F,Y,Z) lining up Trips Right (into the field). Against man coverage, the Z runs a shallow cross, the Y pushes straight up-field to 10-12 yards into the endzone and then breaks it off flat towards the middle of the field, the F (Flanker) runs a short Jerk Route. While alone in the boundary, the X runs a flag route (to the back pylon). These route combinations free up the Y, in one-on-one coverage, to use their big bodies in the middle of the field (back of the end zone and in the QBs direct line of sight) to shield the defender and go up and catch a high laser for an easy TD.
That is where I see our big receivers (especially Bingham) making his hay (as far as scoring). In addition to drag patterns, I would also like seeing our Y receivers run out-patterns into the flat. I want to see secondaries handle that (when the Y catches the ball and turns a head of steam up-field) . Not fun for the secondary. :lol: Fun for our big receivers, and Griz Fans however! Hitch patterns as well. :thumb:

Yeah the fast break offense is fun to watch but when is the last time it won a championship? Ohio State destroyed OR.

Note that Oregon's offense scored enough points to win (20) but it was Oregon's defense that got schooled. Defense wins championships...westnodak93bison said:

Yeah but I doubt 20 was what OR was expecting. They probably thought they needed 30+ to win.Grisly Fan said:

Oregon is like EWU... they rely on their offense to win games and their defense kind of skates by until they get schooled by a more balanced team. It really doesn't matter that Oregon couldn't score 30 when the defense couldn't stop the other team.
I expect the Griz to have a more balanced team and a better defense (proportionately) than Oregon. We may need to make a couple changes defensively....we'll see. But I'm sure if something does need to happen on the defensive side of the ball Stitt will address it.griz5700 said:
I wish we went with a run heavy boring offense. Its not as much fun watch but is stable and gives you a chance to win. these offenses seem to start a season fast but peter out as defenses catch up at the end of the year when there is more tape to help figure it out. This style offense can wear your own defense out in hurry when they dont work.
Stitts offense works because there are many options to go with the ball on every play. The defense can't take away everything, Stitts QB will find the defenses weakness (on every play).

Good spread-style offenses are run-first offenses. Do you remember the semifinal run that ended with the loss to SHS? Pflu's spread offense ran the hell out of the ball. Delaney tried to go to a run-heavy, NDSU style offense, and didn't have the horses up-front to get it done. Nothing wrong with it, if you have a great offensive line. If not, you have what we suffered through the last couple of years. That was truly boring. Stitt's offense was one of the five best in all of college football in time of possession.
PS. Can't run road grader-style offenses unless your fan base is obese. Just a fact of life. Got to be a balance there.
Stitts offense has won him no championships, just three conferece titles and a 63.5% of his games in fourteen years. If that happens here he will be fired in four. Mickey Mouse offenses are for teams that cannt recruit top players. I just believe in pro style offenses. Hope I am wrong.

Yeah, Oregon can't recruit top players, right. Just the Heisman winner. A real scrub.

He won 63.5% of his games after taking over the BSC equivalent of Idaho State. Turned the conference doormat into a 3-time conference champion. And he did it recruiting kids who had to qualify to get into the school and only those who were seeking engineering degrees. He has no such shackles on him now....something tells me he'll do much better than 63%. but I do agree that if after 4 years he's only won 63% he'll probably be gone.
