Booth vs Sidelines

[Hoyacane1620]

We've talked about this in previous seasons but I don't think it's come up this year.

I'm rewatching the Duke game and when the camera panned on Jonathan Brewer, Duke OC, watching the action from up in the booth, the conversation by the announcers turned to what he was seeing. It struck me how easy it is for OC's to dissect Guidry's defense from above.....Especially when he does the same thing play after play.

I know Dawson prefers to be on the sidelines to talk to his QB, etc.

Guidry is also on the sidelines.

I wonder how many of our opponents have at least one of their OCs up in the booth.....

Is it an advantage for opposing OC's to be upstairs against Guidry?

Most OCs can dissect Guidry's defense and they dont even have to be in the stadium

I didn't think it matters.

Probably a comfort level thing for most coordinators. Whatever excuse they want to tell themselves.

There is something to be said about removing yourself from the distractions of the sideline and being able to focus.

The only advantage they need is having Guidry on the opposing team.

It shouldn't matter anymore as everyone has tablets on the sidelines. It just appears that since we don't make adjustments until halftime, that our D coaches can't use a tablet. Cam Ward can use one, thankfully. I absolutely believe it is having an affect on games this season for teams that have accepted change.

That's not true. I saw Guidry with a tablet at the Duke. It was stone and he had a little hammer and chistel too

There is virtually nothing an offense can't decipher about any defense pre-snap, that's why defensive football is a lot harder. All you have is alignment, assignment and execution. Make a mistake in anyone one of those and the offense has a 90% probability of winning that play.

Having the tablets like nfl does eliminates some of the advantages from the booth
