I'll say this, as a football coach myself. When Cincinnati goes 4 wide and the WR are stacked, our defense empties its front, putting the CB and HB up on the stack with the safety over top on both side, leaving 5 guys within the box.
If these coaches knew anything about the spread offenses (or any offense for that matter) , which is clear they don't over the years they've been here, QBs have the decision to run Inside Zone (IZ) with the read or WR screens based on the QB simply counting how many guys are in the box. In this case you have 5 guys in the box so its an automatic IZ call. YOU HAVE 5 OLINEMEN ON 5 DEFENSIVE PLAYERS, its a fundamental problem, generally in football you always have an extra guy in the box or at least sniffing the box. When a team play a standard TE 2WR 2RB formation you play a standard 4-3 with the SS sniffing the box.
In the case I'm using, why not have a guy flash in the box then jump out so it make the QB think a little, or you know just add an extra in the box, because football is won based on the run game, stop the run and run the ball well and you'll always give yourself a chance to win. Get these effing losers out of the program and out of football, tell them to go coach grassroots football cause they clearly have no idea what the **** they are doing at this level. There were so many instances where if you just ran Cover 2 man under (which would have been fine all game) was a significantly better option . I'd be completely content if this team had no coaches all year and the kids just coached themselves and called their own plays, it can't get any worse. WEfense, more like the worse defense this program has ever seen for the 5th straight year.
