For anyone who doesn't like meticulous details of football, this thread may not be for you. It's basically a compilation of notes from watching and 2X re-watching the game. I do this for almost every game. Helps me calm down from losses. Not going to write out all the notes for each play. Will keep it to mostly Safety play.
Anyway, I never post D notes because Lance Roffers does a better image and video-based review. However, yesterday another poster on our board whose football opinions I think are helpful to the board graded out our Safeties as "really bad." It caught my eye because my notes didn't tell me "really bad." But, definitions may be different.
So, I watched everything again with my notes in hand. I had previously called our Safety play against UF average. I'll basically stick with average or good enough. Can it be better? Of course. Would an accurate QB have sliced us up more? Most likely, as I usually say that before most games, unless we make big changes to the zone blitz schemes. I saw some guys who, when combined with Bolden's range, should be a nice group by midseason.
Here ya go:
1. Amari possible misstep
2. Hall didn't fill hard enough
3. All clean
4. Hall slight delay, duo missed Tackle Hall and Carter, what, bad bad bad TD Gators
5. Measured fill, but keeping contain and Carter later fills
6. Run play cleared up prior to Safety (no consequence)
7. Bandy beat to edge on run, No Safety consequence
8. Strong pattern recognition by Hall on inside route, absolute bull**** PI call on Finley redirecting (?) WR or hand-fighting later
9. Frierson TFL on toss, excellent block slip, Knowles blitzed (no consequence)
10. Franks scramble, Rousseau tremendous move on G, Hall sat too long in stance (no consequence) during exchange of responsibilities
11. 3rd and 6, weird 4WR bunch to sideline, alternating quick ins, Hall a half tick cautious but great athleticism and recovery, Carter off ball, both close for tackle short of first. Solid enough
12. Trips right, Carter possibly too deep in interest of caution, fills on 4th and 1 and too late for 3 yard gain
13. RB breaks front 7 tackle, Safeties no consequence
14. RB tackled in front 7, Safeties no consequence
15. RB in flat, Safeties no consequence
16. Fumble, Safeties no consequence
17. Late motion, Carter rolls, Knowles reads key, fills nicely despite eye candy
18. Fumble on wide toss, Safeties no consequence
19. Hall slightly delayed blitz in tandem with Shaq, Franks barely gets it off, shocked if don't see this later in game and this season
20. Carter takes on block well, stops run for 2
21. Hall deep Safety blitz (i mostly hate these) on 3rd and 3, Franks horrendous read short of sticks, incomplete
22. Deep Safeties at end of half, throw underneath, Safeties no consequence
23. Deep Safeties at end of half, throw underneath, Safeties no consequence
24. Deep Safeties at end of half, run play opposite trips, Safeties no consequence
25. Hall weird blitz (?), no safety consequence on crossing route
26. Carter up, no Safety consequence
27. 2 Safeties deep, Carter rolls to boundary, run play no Safety consequence
28. 15 yard deep Carter on boundary hash (yikes for inside WR coverage), Carter not out of break quickly enough from Hash, corner blitz from Blades, pass completed in front of Carter - reminder to look at Redwine tape on similar plays in 18
29. Hall steps aggressively toward run action, Carter playing deeper, both combine for tackle in alley after RB breaks through for 11 yards, maybe 2 yards more than he should have gotten
30. Hall steps up aggressively and got turned around by Play Action (look for later, but no consequence here). Al Blades great technique. PI, **** these people, What a bad ******* call. Damnit.
31. Carter deep middle, run blitz w/ Hall, very good fill on Jon Ford combination TFL
32. Finley good TFL, Carter/Hall no consequence on deeper coverage
33. Carter rolling with motion, 5 WR, Knowles deep, pass short in front of Bandy, 4th down
34. 4WR bull**** bunch, Carter holding boundary hash, no consequence
35. Hall dropping, Carter rolling and keying motion, run for no gain. This motion is a setup (look out)
36. 3rd and 5, great break on inside WR by Frierson for PBU, Safeties deep no consequence
37. 5WR, 4th and 5, good key and pattern recognition by Hall again, Gators attack Shaq who's reading QB eyes and loses WR instead of matching up, holy **** false start
38. 2 Safeties deep, unnecessary CB blitz from boundary again, no chance for Hall playing field side hash to get over on Gator TE running seam 6 yards outside of boundary Hash, where Carter had to pick up sideline route. Good call by Gator against a poorly timed or predictable CB blitz from boundary.
39. Hall assertive to hurry Franks into throwing away
40. Safeties roll with motion to boundary, no consequence, Shaq great breakdown in space against RB
41. Safeties 7 yards deep, weird QB run call or confusion, Franks tackled at line, big 3rd down stop
42. Trips left, pass to bandy's WR, safeties no consequence
43. Trips left, Knowles inside field hash slightly flat footed
44. Trips left, Safeties hugging hashes, incomplete pass, no consequence
45. Substitution some confusion, weren't set, Hall mediocre angle to sidelines on WR screen, stopped in front of marker though, 3rd down stop
46. Franks flushed on PA, incomplete, no safety consequence, Carter may have stepped forward more aggressively than he'd want
47. Safeties on hashes, Hall fills in control for about a 3 yard gain, solid enough
48. Carter at line, Pinck oversteps outside of TE, Perrine leverage, ****, TD gators
49. Carter deep on boundary, Hall medium peeking run, fills, no consequence
50. Hall deep on left boundary, trips right, Hall on field hash at 7ish, Hall gets lost on communication or exchange with LB, two gators run free down field hash, Franks throws a pure **** pass because of some pressure in face, Carter INT cleanup off tipped ball
51. Ball in middle of field, hall playing run steps up, Carter playing opposite hash, gives deep help to both vertical routes, Frierson beaten out of slot, big split between vertical routes, wtf, Carter splitting 30 yards of parallel vertical routes, waits till ball is thrown to break to Frierson's WR, too late, coverage breakdown?, good throw, ****
52. 1st down after bomb, good tackle by Blades
53. Hall field hash, protective step inside, TE motion, pass to flat/bubble, 3 on 3 on edge, Hall gets mixed up with Pinck's blocker, not good pursuit angle, TE gets upfield, ****
54. Franks run, slightly late fill by Carter, Bandy too deep in middle of field, damnit, TD Gators
55. 4WR bull**** again, decent read/cutoff by Carter, both Safeties over, holy **** what a bad throw by Franks, INT
Ups and downs. New guys out there. My expectations weren't sky high for Game 1, but still are for a guy like Hall who was tentative at times. All stuff that can and should be cleaned up.
