@grokIE What does a "Scheme Uniqueness" stat use as inputs for the calculations?
That seems pretty subjective. I would think that the academies would be way to the right with Northwestern off the chart in that direction.
I guess I would also see UGA and UF back to the left where we are.

You didn't know that it's just Dale that creates all of these?

He said in the replies formations, personnel, run/pass rates etc. doesn’t seem like a perfect system but interesting nonetheless.

A few of those at the top sprinkle in multiple running backs, 6 OL, unbalanced lines for example

I really believe some of the issues with Denbrock and especially Ash are that they are on the field. Who is communicating from the box? I do not know everything, by far, but as a former college coach and coordinator, it is nearly impossible to see what the issues are from the field. Being in the box is so beneficial to a coordinator, rather than just having the info being relayed down. I loved being on the field for the energy of the game, but being in the box was better for overall coaching and adjustments. I really feel that is why we typically wait until halftime to make adjustments. Freeman should move both of them up despite what they want.

Could be, but Al made his adjustments after the opponents first drive. Does Ash have the same guys in the box that Al did?

I just find it hard to believe that on the field/off the field matters much when some of the best playcallers ever have been on the field guys. Lane Kiffin and Kirby Smart were both top tier coordinators and have always been on the field guys. Chip Kelly was obviously on the field as a HC and appears to prefer being in the box as an OC. I would guess it comes more down to how you prefer to communicate with your surrounding staff/players than anything to do with view.

Apart from the missed TD pass for Faison were there really any other examples of a WR being wide open?
I think Alabama Jones just watches 5 minute highlights. He has always had a lazy work ethic.

Two corner routes to tight ends. The one to Larsen especially needed to be made.

I mean overall he called a fine game. OL sucked for stretches and could not block their DTs, so they went one dimensional passing

Conservative calls at certain points I am 99.9% sure aren't totally his decision. Also Freeman electing to abandon drives at midfield twice. Ended up with 400+ yards and 30+ points.

Five of the first six drives were good, they need to have a conversation about what they were doing in the second half after getting up 21 because that ain't it... and as soon as they felt threatened they finally went for it on 4th down and ended up scoring a TD. Aggression wins.

We won tonight we did just enough. We can discuss the rest of the game plan this week.

Amongst all the joy and relief, we gotta talk about the special teams.

HOLY FUCK THAT WAS BAD

stop kicking the fucking ball out of bounds. That literally should NEVER happen

Scaife buried a couple, so that was great, but the bad really hurt


Faison's huge punt return was wonderful
All correct but Denbrock doesn't coach special teams
