I hope Kiffin has a bubble screen attack in his offense!

Is it your hope for the bubble screen to be installed in Kiffin's offense?

Is Randy Sanders back on staff? I think that every 2nd or 3rd play he called was the swing pass, wide receiver screen for 2 yards.

The real question will be whether he makes the right handed players play left handed, and the left handed players play right handed. That way, nobody will know which direction the next play will go for a loss of 2.

of course we'll have it in the offense since, according to many, every pass under 5yds is a screen

I would love to see the screen if we execute it properly. We definitely have the talent to take it to the house if they get in space. Our problem was that Fulmer's idea of a screen was throwing the ball to a WR as soon as the ball was snapped instead of letting the rush get through.

It is actually effective if u get the ball to a speed guy in space and have a good blocking scheme. Probably see it work better in a spread though. I wanna pound the rock this year. I know we are thin up front but we have good size and could be a good running team if the coaches do their job.

I've been in here for 10 minutes reading some very interesting threads and now this one. Bubble Screen, small athletic offensive line, and zone blocking have all been used in defining the offense for 2009. I hope CLK didn't call CTB for advice. Maybe I got that one backwards, haha. Good Luck!

Screens are not bad plays to run, its not like every coach in the NFL and majority of coaches are all retarded and like to run it just so they have it in their system. If it is employed with the right personnel and run correctly they can be very effective. With the 320+ linemen we have the last few seasons running down the line and trying to get in place with thier blocks before a pass is thrown is why they havent worked. You need athletic lineman to execute screens and just to clear things up taking a slow 330 lb lineman and making him lose weight to 300 doesnt all of a sudden make him an athlete. You also have to have receivers with a big move set that dont have to be incredibly fast but must be agile and shifty. Also depending on the screen you have to have receivers that aren't afraid to make a hit and block.

There's a reason the ball is supposed to come out quickly on slip and bubble screens.

well I do too ...but I think the fact that Kiffin's system is called a ' pro spread ' and then Chaney's system is simply the spread , using 5 wide ...and both of them love the single back set ....well I don't know if the rock will be pounded as we envision it . Hope they do something though

Exactly! I've never understood Fulmer's idea of a screen pass. "Here's an idea! Let's throw it to the slot receiver with no blockers in front of him! It's be a heck of a play!"

They did execute a perfect screen pass in the practice open to the public 2 weeks ago. They let the rush through, and Creer took it all the way. First proper screen pass I've ever seen in UT history.

Our recievers also need to be 12 feet tall with 8 hands and 8 eyes if our quarterbacks are going to throw to them! banghead2:

You are describing a "smoke" route; not a screen. There's a difference.
