Nice breakdown of an offense Tua thrived in.

[NBP81]

There's the clinic video by Sarkasian followed by a written breakdown of some of the popular plays in the system Tua played under in 2019.

Breaking down six base plays in Steve Sarkisian’s offense

Starting with two run-pass options and then building out to hard play-action fakes and the progression passing game, here’s how the new Texas head coach layers his offensive strategy.

Good read.

Good illustration of a successful collegiate philosophy that keeps reads simple.

Of course having superior talent doesn't hurt either.

The video is really good to if you have time, alot actual play examples from both college and NFL.

You were correct sir. It was very good. It puts the RPO offense into proper perspective as to how it is a piece of a philosophy, rather than an overriding offensive scheme.

It also, correctly, highlights the need to be able to run the ball sucessfully from a conventional standpoint for any it to be effective.

One think I disagree with is his idea that it isn't necessary to attack weaknesses as a focal point. In his defense though, in that context he was mostly speaking about there not being time to teach "kids" that level of variants. Not necessarily true at the NFL level.

Very interesting how the exact same concepts were used with Ryan, and the Falcons, as at Alabama. It does show that it can successfully translate.

I agree about the no deviation part to attack weakness, I also tend to think he might have a different anwser had that been specifically about the NFL. Another thing I liked is when he talked about how he likes to hit moving targets instead of stationary. That actually hit me how often the Fins relied on curls this season, alot of times to Grant, which I think nullifies his obvious speed advantage.

No doubt I thot we had a Pennington renaissance with the curl patterns when Tua was starting

Yes, I had never thought about it, but like he said, curls, and those type patterns are usually only effect in certain circumstances, like the seldom used cover three he mentioned. Most often in the dreaded "prevent" defense situations.

Many here could learn a lot about defensive manipulation, and how different aspects of offensive football "stack" upon each other if they took the time to watch some of these coaching "seminar" type vids.

The curls are effective with big bodied targets who can shield the defender. Our offense has that with Parker, Gesicki and Williams. But it also limits YAC and big plays so it too often just becomes this plodding thing that breaks down if you have a drop, penalty or some other set back.

What our offense lacked and what I expect to be the priority this off-season are the speed guys who can run to daylight and away from defenders and the big back to keep you on schedule and key the pass game. We'll get a little of that with the return of Wilson. Grant can be a nice 4th option, but is just to inconsistent to rely on him more than that. It's easy to see how a Devonta Smith and a Najee Harris can fit and form some of the layers of that scheme.

Would’ve been awesome if Flores could’ve got Sark as the OC.

Exactly this and there's a big contrast between Sark's and Gailey's view on this... I the video, Sark alludes to the fact that while long 10 plays drive are nice, you need the chunks because ultimately, someone often messes and puts the drive on stall. In one of his pressers, Gailey said big long drives were actually what he was aiming for.

Agree. 10 play drives are nice if you are in your 4 min offense w/ a big lead. Otherwise, not so much.

Case in point; Look at the Chiefs & Green Bay as prime examples of being able to strike quickly.

 

[Rev Kev]

You need the personnel to strike quickly this Offense has plodders - Mixed with some speed guys

Geiski couldn’t run through a wet paper bag

Grant can run but not catch when it counts most - I put him in the not able to execute when called upon category

Bowden was really not elusive this past season and didn’t look natural catching the ball

We need a makeover at the skill position in the worst way

 

[CSONKA1966]

Add Smith and Toney , we become very scary
