Twitter is insane.

People making it a race/white privilege issue that the bullied kid got a scholarship because some back kid pushed lawnmowers in North Carolina and the Charlotte Panthers “only” bought him a new lawnmower.

People can’t handle a positive story so they try and stick their dingus in it. 😒

Yeah, I tried to wait it out and see if @David Ubben would turn it around and that @David Ubben would actually do some good journalism like @David Ubben should. I signed up a month ago and actually thought @David Ubben's articles were well done. Now, after hearing how @David Ubben went about the BT story and now how @David Ubben went about this story (which, btw @David Ubben, this is far worse) I can definitely agree that @David Ubben is not a professional journalist. @David Ubben may be a journalist, but not a professional one because a professional journalist, @David Ubben, does not try to push for negatives about a story involving a kid getting bullied and a whole fanbase including the university rallying behind him. @David Ubben, since I cannot take back the money I have already given to the Athletic I am going to start negatively affecting what affects you, @David Ubben, at your job by rating each of your podcasts/articles as bad. Whether that actually affects your status with the Athletic or not I do not care. Still gonna do it... @David Ubben.

So in this play we were playing Cover 3 “Buzz”. A lot of teams play this in long passing downs because you disguise your 3 deep in different ways and get turnovers but you need really good safeties to do this. Seattle made a living off this particular coverage during their legion of boom era with kam&earl on the back end.

This is what we come out in on the final 3rd down, which i have no problem with.. very common coverage for this situation. Here is the alignment and roles that should have taken place. Buzz safety is intended to stay around the sticks and key on the check down and keep him from the first down.

So the outside CBs are playing bail coverage. where their biggest responsibility is no one get behind you. Mistake #1. Most teams Jam the WRs at the line (or at least attempt to reroute if playing off) bc their expecting them to go vertical so it delays the play (hopefully pass rush gets there)... we should have jammed here and not give outside WRs free release when warrior (FS) is only covering the middle 1/3 of the field.

Mistake #2. 26 slot corner is playing curl/flat coverage. Any vertical routes HAVE to be disrupted/rerouted to help the FS and outside CB. By not re-routing the inside seem route... it made alontae have to cover 2 people in the back outside 1/3 and since we didn’t jam and gave the WRs a free release...Nigel couldn’t get there in time.

26 should not be floating back on his heels. As soon as his man is going vertical he needs reroute his man first and then he can go into his curl/flat combo.

The RB on this play is coming to sit down in the middle to dump too and run to the first down. This was the buzz man. If he catches the ball he can come downhill and deliver a blow to keep him from the sticks.

Long story short... the call was fine. 95% of the time that ball either goes to the RB and the buzz makes a tackle or the QB is making (imo) the toughest throw in football where even if your WR gets behind the CB playing Jam then bail coverage. He has to to throw a semi floating bullet that has enough arc to get over the corner but not too much to where the safety has time to get there.

Four verticals or Single side double verts is the most common call against this coverage. In a long passing down. Which is what they ran on the top side.

Btw here’s Trevor Lawrence making that exact throw I’m talking about with absolute ease. I hate you Lyle.

The running backs coach? Helton was the OC and QB’s COACH, identified Maurer and that’s who Maurer was signing on to play for.

Coaches have different territories to recruit and Weinke’s area includes Florida and Helton had the west coast. That’s what I am basing my assumptions off of. Of course at some point the position coaches come into play and make recruiting trips. 247 also says Weinke was Mauer’s primary recruiter.

We can't help it that our university is way more awesome than the Panthers. They might have a point if both kids were sporting homemade UT shirts (or Panthers for that matter), got bullied for it, and we decided to give the white kid his own tee-shirt and a scholarship while handing the black kid a lawnmower and telling him to get to work but this is two different events that don't involve the same organizations or even similar circumstances.
