Dawgs Spotted Run Tendencies

I was wondering what Mike Bobo saw on our defense that made him keep calling the fade to the corner of the endzone. The last one Stafford threw appeared to be a miscommunication and Berry picked it off. But for some reason, they kept going to it in the redzone.

Other teams are picking up on it as well. I heard the same thing during the Auburn game as well. There are very few surprises in our play calling.

A good throw over the outside shoulder and that was 6. It is crazy how many holes there are in Chavis' defense.

It's not hard to guess the play when we spent 1/3 of the year trying to install 1/4 of our playbook.

Really? There was a couple of times I thought the smash combo was coming when the receivers were aligned in the flex twins set but it turned out being the China combo on the first play and the flat curl combo on the second play, so I was way off.

Exactly. Clawson inherited a group of QBs who are great athletes, but couldn't think their way out of a paper bag.

I like Stephens, but he's no mental giant. Crompton, sad to say, is just plain dumb.

Scaling down the offense makes it much more predictable.

I think you should turn off NCAA 09 for awhile.

Still trying to figure out why, after gaining 7 yards running the ball on first down, we throw on the next two downs.

Fade route is no magic. If your QB can throw it right, it is 6 points almost every time.

GA loaded the line against the run.

Heck, we couldn't get 1 yard in 3 tries when N. Ill. did the same thing the week before.

It's the vaunted Richmond offense. What a joke.

It isn't the Richmond offense. We have been running the same offensive formations for running plays for 15 years. It is very easy to pick up on.

Plain and simple. We are not going to beat any more top 25 Caliber teams until we have a brand new coaching staff.

"He also said the alignment of tackles Chris Scott and Ramon Foster tipped off the direction of the run."


This is the key line of the whole article and the reason the rushing attack has been non-existent all year. The change to a "strong" and "quick" alignment has telegraphed our tendencies.

All this points at Clawson and his offense - and, by extension, Fulmer.

Dogs saw tendencies

By: Darren Epps
ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia defensive end Demarcus Dobbs said he knew which way Tennessee was going to run the ball “80 percent of the time” based on alignments and formations the team studied in video sessions.

The numbers reflect Dobbs’ proclamation — linebacker Rennie Curran made similar remarks — as the Volunteers rushed for 1 yard in Tennessee’s 26-14 loss to No. 10 Georgia. In last year’s meeting, Tennessee gained 190 yards on the ground.

“Watching film was a huge part (of stopping the run),” Dobbs said. “We did some thorough video sessions and watched film and picked up on a couple of traits that gave away what they were going to do.”

Dobbs said the Bulldogs noticed whether Tennessee lined up its fullback inside or outside and if the tight end moved to the backfield. He also said the alignment of tackles Chris Scott and Ramon Foster tipped off the direction of the run.

Arian Foster, Georgia’s nemesis the last two years, carried the ball just three times for 3 yards. Montario Hardesty’s 7-yard run was Tennessee’s longest of the game.

“Down in the film room we looked at the details so when we came on the field, we knew what they liked to do on certain plays and certain downs, when they liked to run outside and when they liked to run inside,” Curran said. “That helped us in the rush game. The extra time in the film room really paid off.”

Despite quarterback Nick Stephens making his first start on the road, Tennessee ran the ball only 15 times, and just four times in the second half. The Vols’ inability to establish a ground game enabled Georgia to run 36 more plays and hold the ball for 25 extra minutes.

On the Vols’ second possession of the game, they faced second-3 and threw the ball twice. Both passes were broken up. For most of the game, however, Tennessee struggled on first down and had to pass.

“We just never did develop any consistency with the running game, and never really got any good push,” Tennessee offensive coordinator Dave Clawson said. “When we fell behind, I really had no reason to feel like we were going to get back into the game running the football.

“Last year, really the philosophy was throw first. I think because we threw the ball so well a year ago, the looks to run the ball were a lot better, if that makes sense. Right now, we really haven’t established a consistent passing game, either. We’re trying to run the ball against worse looks.”

The result was 30 passes by Stephens, who threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns. He was sacked twice.

“I’m surprised they didn’t run it more for the quarterback to be in his first SEC game starting,” Dobbs said. “I was surprised they didn’t run Foster more. Foster has kicked our butt for the past two years.”

when they said they were going to move the oline depending on the playcall in order to create mismatches, I wondered if this would give away the play. apparently i was right.

i am not impressed with clawson. and i know he is a hell of a recruiter, but latrell scott hasn't taught the WR's crap about getting off the los or running routes. i think the whole richmond crew is a bunch of busch league up-and-coming wannabees.

Of course, it might not be as simple as "the ball goes where xx players goes". We once picked up on the directional and pass/run tendency of a nationally-ranked team by the way the left guard set his feet. The only reason we caught it was because it was real extreme one time, then we went back and watched the rest of the film (about 8 hours worth) and saw it 95% of the time.

It could be anything, not just as simple as "he's there, so the ball goes there". If you want that sort of tendency, just follow a pulling guard.
