Oregon's passing attack-oh so easy

My gawd, so simple, a lot of sit down routes against zone and comeback patterns against man. Receivers are wide open because they have some speed and threaten deep. Then as Dbacks back up and turn their hips the receivers just sit down in open space and even come back a little to the QB. This leaves them wide open.

And when the receiver I assume reads a over play by the defense they go long.

I just cant fathom why some of our pass routes are just these horizontal crap which makes it hard for the receivers to get separation from the Dback very easily.

We need a QB coach and passing coordinator. GD is not a good passing coordinator with Iowa level talent. Maybe more speed gets on the field next year but still pass route design and receivers need to show verticallity to come back to the QB or bust one deep.
 
These pass patterns are universal. You just have to practice them and make them work. I think the new, modern term for one pattern is the 'stick' pattern where the receiver makes a break to an open area and comes back to the ball a yard or so.

Iowa uses these plays but not very often for a team trying to run a short yardage passing attack.
 
KOK and GD both ran spreads prior to Iowa.

The design of the offense is what the head coach decides.

This is false...kok as a head coach ran a pro offense. If you go to YouTube and look up alleghany (sp) football (where he coached) you can find video of his teams and they are running I formation and single back pro formations. Not spread. He had a very high scoring offense but not a spread offense.

The y-stick and y-seam are two patterns we saw a lot with kok...te (y) was utilized so much better under him.
 
An Oregon like scheme might go well with our zone blocking. Someone posted the list of teams that use zone blocking and none of them run an offense like Iowa. Maybe Jay Scheel could play QB.

What we really need though is a QB coach or a new OC that knows the QB position better than anyone on this staff.
 
Anybody watch the TCU destruction of the clowns today? Lot of the same stuff. Hurry up, quick passes, quick routes, and the occasional medium to long throw. Tempo tempo tempo.
