I cant wait till Tennessee has finally figured out how to guard the screen passes.. South Carolina, and Florida absolutely killed us on those..
is seems like every time the Quarterback gives a quick out look pass to a WR, he will go between 8-10 yards before ANYONE is there to stop him.. it gets so freakin old.. You never see any other defense do that.. South Carolina owned all of our screen passes and when we tried to use them we usually got an incompletion or we got negative yards, except for that big gain that Briscoe had.

Also, when the QB would drop it off to the RB, he would get at least 10 yards every single time..

the screen passes and Drop offs aren't meant for big gains, and its getting old to see teams do it OVER AND OVER, without us changing our schemes to stop them.

SO basically, all a team has to do to beat us, is to just do a quick throw to a WR. and let him run between 10-15 yards up the field every single time..

Ha, I thought this thread was going to be about the offense. Both sides of the ball have problems with the screen pass :)

At least they didn't try to run the reverse with Kenny O'Neal again. That's a step in the right direction. :clapping:

Exactly.

On the offensive side, I think we are doing something to give it away - beit formation, a habit that other teams are catching on film or whatever.

On the defensive side, we are overpursuing the QB and not recognizing the screen pass.

I think other coaches are beating this into their teams the week prior to playing us. They know we are going to run it about half dozen times and are expecting it. We apparently don't mention it.

I like screen passes when they are executed well. We just never execute them well on offense, which is probably why the defense can't defend one that is run well.

we dont get the blocks like the rest of the teams in america do when they run screens. we may get 8 or 9 yards on one, but that's about the only time(out of the 24 times we run it a game)that it actually does any good for us.

I wish Arian Foster would tuck the dang ball away so I didn't go into cardiac arrest everytime he makes a juke move. Watch him close and every time he changes direction he lets the ball get away from his body. It's no surprise he fumbles.

If you notice the receivers on the screens are turning and putting their arms out to catch the ball before ainge even throws it. It is a dead giveaway.

Yes i noticed that also..
Our whole offense has become completely obvious to the other teams..
that's why we never score in the second half. It's because the opposing team's defense have already learned our whole offensive gradebook..

BTW, i think it's sad for our WR's to still not know the playbook (cough-O-Neil) when we hardly run any complicating plays at all.
I wonder how lost they would be if they ran Florida's offense.. OMG! i dont even want to think about it!

I hate screen passes because a good majority of UT fans don't know what a screen is.

One guy in the game thread called a quick out a screen, then on the next play, called a wheel route a screen.

Yeah, I don't think we've really used the screen passes as much since Randy Sanders left. We do throw an awful lot of short outs and flare passes of that nature on third down. I understand why that is frustrating. It seems like that's all we did against Cal and our other first few opponents. We got away from it a bit, but as soon as Ainge starts having a mediocre day, we went back to that stuff.

Either way, neither of them work for us.
