for instance. I went to the lsu v. la tech game a few weeks ago. lsu showed pressure & la tech's qb saw it and flipped the protection so the rb would pick up a free blitzer coming from his right. lsu responded immediately by backing the safety they'd brought down back into coverage and bringing the other safety into the box. lsu got the sack.
qb's in this league often don't account for pressure pre-snap and make adjustments and DC's in this conference certainly don't coach their defenses to adjust to offensive adjustments. that is preparation.
I wouldn't necessary call it preparation, I would call that coaching and an adjustment on the defense.
That's IMO not something I would say evolution. That's football 101 to me, and I've been asking for this kind of game-play in our conference. We don't move our safeties at all, (SU) I am speaking about. Our DC's are not creative like that in this league. Very, basic and simple, thus me bringing up this notion, why would one send a 3, 4 star safety to the SWAC? You're not blitzing him or having him roam around the LOS, why would he even come here to (SU) to play, when he can go to LSU and play like dude #9?? See this is where I get frustrated with our coaches, these kids watch these games too on TV and they want to be ball hawks too, they want to fly around a make tackles, do this and that, but we keep things very basic and simple, like dayum, this aint Pee Wee football, and we playing like it is, no confusion in the defense.
I've yet to see this in our league, One side plays zone and the other side of the field plays man 2 man, I've seen Bama, Stanford, Texas, even racist ass Ole Piss run this scheme
If you followed FSU last year, their SS #3 (he plays for the Chargers now) but they had dude lining in the box, covering the slots, blitzing off the edge, he was all over the field and he could literally change the game, we not doing that with our players and talent in this league. Our FS, and SS are playing 20-25 yards deep which is the basics
