I do NOT like this scheme on 4th and 1. A play requiring a small slot WR to make a key interior block on 4th and 1 ( i guess it was 4th and short 2) is asking for trouble. Luckily, we have love.
He also does a terrible job here. He definitely needs to attack the inside breastplate instead of outside. In theory duo is fine here but the wrap (with personnel) makes it iffy

This is duo wrap. When you run duo, you want to run it to a 4 man surface. G, T, TE, TE. However, you can dress it up with an insert by a WR. Good scheme. Horrible execution and this is not Pauling's game. Here Greathouse would be much better (in theory)
Respectfully, if you could break down every play of the full 22 after each game going forward that would be great thanks.

shit man. If I could, I would lol. I am a football junky. 10 years of coaching. But 2 kids and grad school. Maybe we should do a scheme page here so other football junkies could post answers to shit

I hear you.
Say what you will about the guy/site/team but imo the format at least of Mgoblog's Under Further Review feature is great, and I always thought somebody with legit bonafides could make good side-hustle money on something similar for ND. It would be time intensive for sure and you'd need a ton of subscriptions for it but I think it could happen.

Maybe Denbrock is also just setting everyone for this:

Lsu Burrow season was a duo clinic. I believe they ran bunch left with a corner route by chase for a td against bama
All of the Book years had a steady diet of duo, yeah? I seem to remember the broadcast color guy(s) bringing it up often enough.

The play against Pitt where Raridon drew a defensive holding, Raridon faked a split/insert block through the hole that he peeled to a slip wheel route of sorts

I posted this in the playoff thread, but it's relevant here, too. He talks about the play you reference, and he also mentions that down rock shows consistencies sometimes

Rep the WR screen. Learn it, know it, live it because that play will forever be in my playbook.

Is watching that video worth creating a facebook account?
I created one for work several years ago, but I'm rarely on it. Just happened to get on to like one of our companies posts and came across that clip.

Reads to me like he knows the style of offense he'd be asked to play in the NFL so he'd like our offense to better mimic it so he can be better prepared for a pro career.

Win a national championship this season, replace Stafford next season.
In fairness, I can't see a scenario play out where we win the title AND he gets drafted by LAR lol.

He would be a top 5 pick, probably 1st overall. There would have to be a catastrophic series of events for LAR to be even in the top 10, let alone top 5, to get their hands on Carr. Their roster was already loaded and they still went all-in to sure up the secondary
