Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Haven’t seen anyone mention them. A lot of posters were pushing for JS to do more of those quick passes across the middle. I think he was pretty successful in doing that. Gives us a new weapon to the arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,225 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yep, the wide receiver slant was one of the only consistently productive thing we had on offense. Long time coming, and I for one have wondered when we would finally figure that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigger1985 805 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Loved them calling them then we got away from it. Did we call more than our limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thought. We needed to run more of them, because Washington wasn't stopping it at all. They were actively trying to take away the deep shot. Left the medium range wide open.

I remember us running a lot of posts, But I don't remember a single slant being run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Defensive alignment takes some routes away. We have been seeing a lot of cover 1 with man over and zone under. The slant isn’t a great call in that. Yesterday Udub was running cover 2 man and the slant is a good call on that. Plus the quick screen to Davis. When they went to cover 2 zone we had to get away from it but tried to combat it with the deep corner route which was covered many times or just didn’t pull the trigger yet we hit the underneath on that combo route to the TE and to Cox all alone. They also ran cover 1 some in man but I think Gus and Chip were afraid to take the shot on the post and skinny post to the deep middle. It’s a slow developing play and you have to draw the safety with the QBs eyes and a deep curl/in route to pull the safety. But you gotta have time.

It could've been a been short 10 yard post (the lines kinda get blurred in that range), but I thought we ran a slant for a first down with NCM later in the game. Idk what exact time, but I remember it being a lil high but overall a well placed ball that NCM adjusted to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weagl1 1,781 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I’ll leave the details about the defense to Coarch, I’m just glad to see us actually throw a few of them. And to my untrained eye they looked wide-ass open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching LSU run slants vs Miami and they were killing their DB’s off of man coverage. We’ll need to do the same to LSU’s corners in two weeks.

ReidMcLain 75 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Also have you noticed Darius Slayton on the back shoulder fade? He’s absolutely mastered the timing with Stidham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Loved those slants and routes. I want to see more of those 5 and in’s for guys like Ryan Davis, Schwartz and Hill as check down options as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those passes are harder to stop than backshoulder throws and are potential TDS every time because of the way the receiver is running. It’s a lot about timing and it looks like JS and the receivers have been working a lot of OT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked great in the 1st Quarter. After that we went back to a good bit of deep routes leaving Cox, thankfully, as the only option to check down to before the rush got to JS. For some reason when we run deep routes 20 yards and longer we tend to send all of our guys on them instead of running much underneath stuff at the same time. Had Cox not been there for the lone check down Jarrett would have been in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Cox not been there for the lone check down Jarrett would have been in trouble. I agree and as I stated earlier it is a good place for Cox to be. He is not fast but if he’s wide open he usually makes the catch. I think Coachj covered it earlier that UW changed their coverage after a couple of completions so AU had to change their attack.

corchjay 5,311 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The passing game was very good. Mixed in a lot of different looks and routes. The problem was we couldn’t move the chains running the ball. We run the ball just a little better and this game is a 3 score win. And I know we will run the ball better going forward.
