Jet Sweep and Bubble Screens


Sep 7, 2016, 9:08 AM

Did anyone else feel like the lack of these quick hit plays was a crucial aspect of why our offense slowed down Saturday?

I'm sure there's a reason that we did shy away from it (probably because Auburn couldn't defend Williams downfield and Gallman was averaging 4.1 per carry) but I feel like what really opens our offense up is getting the ball to our embarrassment of riches at the skill positions with space to make a man miss. It ups our tempo and keeps the corners honest (and if they start missing it even makes the safety bite).

I'm worried that because we have the talent we do on offense, that we'll get one dimensional in the passing game because we're confident we can beat secondaries downfield. It seems to me like we could cut our run plays by 6-8 (we had 44) and really start to up the tempo and keep ourselves in short yardage situations.

On the positive side of that, the quick pitch play is awesome. It gets Wayne into space fast and worked all night. Similar objective as the jet sweep and bubble screens, but gets another playmaker involved. Just wish we'd implement all of the above more often!

Scott lined up in position for a sweep a couple times but I'm not sure if it wasn't run because the defense was lined up to stop it each time or the defense didn't worry about it because it was never run.

Actually I think I saw Ray Ray run the jet sweep once. But that is all the entire night. It amazed me that Steele has no clue how to defend the jet sweep, and we chose not to execute that weapon.

They were pressing DB's most of the night

So a bubble screen in that coverage is a quick and sure way to give up a pick six.

Watching the replay, you're right. About 80% of the time they're pressing (except Renfrow). Still seems like the jet sweep would cause some confusion.

I thought that those were the plays Auburn was planning for.

Right, like I said I'm sure there is a reason for it. I think we threw one bubble screen and I don't remember any jet sweeps.

Just seems like if they're keying on those plays we would at least pump the throw or put the WR in motion across the formation more often to make them bite on it.

is a sure-fire recipe to give up a pick six, btw.
