DAILY DEBATE: What adjustments would you make on offense going from Ward to Beck?

Empirical Cane said:
No passes.

All run.

TUFF N FYZICAL.

If that is too masculine of a concept to handle for the sit to make the pee-pee crowd, Dawson et al must game plan for:

Ward mobility >>> Beck mobility

Miami O isn't going to get bailed out with Ward's scoot scoot ability. With that said, I don't believe Beck's assassin-esque arm is going to give up those INTs that Ward did.

As long as Dawson and WRs know they need to get open quick, Beck's accuracy (when he is on) should be very, very, VERY good.

He had more INT’s than Ward.

Most of these guys think any run out of the shotgun is a draw.

We do run IZ and OZ but we run more gap scheme runs than any other Air Raid offense probably ever. We run power, duo, we trap, we do a lot of traditional run game stuff. We don’t do a ton of counter but that’s kind of the opposite of what we’re trying to do schematically and personnel-wise. We want to bludgeon the defense with a power scheme and big running back. Not fool the defense with misdirection and backs that can change direction quickly.

Thats all good, but we need to be able to mix all of it in there. Every run game should have a counter play.

I'm certainly not saying Beck >> Ward, I just THINK he doesn't have those cross body "throw it up and pray" moments.

Meaning he doesn’t take the chances that Ward did. I will admit Ward had a couple head scratchers, but he was so good. That we just let him have his way in the offense.
 
Don’t force the run or the pass. Take what the defense gives you and put the offense in the most advantageous position. Beck has shown he can be a high level thrower. He’s not as mobile in the pocket as ward but he can make some runs and move around a bit

We didn't have any spread stuff in the run game. We were super simple. Inside zone spam runs in to the same two gaps. Most predictable.run game in the ACC. Good defenses pinched and shot the A gap. We have no outside zone or outside run game. Some thing tells me the run game from 24 is not working in 25. Scheme is too vanilla.

Thought in 23 I saw some pullers but those might’ve been for WR screens tbh I can’t remember

Once again, personnel dictates playcalling. Or at least should. We had two 230 pound running backs taking a majority of our carries last year. We ran appropriately with them. Martinez was a bit more patient so the zone stuff really worked with him. Fletcher made a big jump in his ability to find a hole rather than just lowering his head and plowing forward but he’s still a power guy. Maybe with Lyle getting more work, we’ll get a little more variety. I would expect them to alter things given the fact that different guys are going to be getting more playing time.
