I have no dog in this fight, but I wouldn't even consider thinking about an agreement like that, unless it also included QB runs. If not, it's a fool's trade.
PS....That's not a rip on Hazy or the way he played us in any way, shape or form. I'm just saying that it would be absolutely stupid for ***O*** to agree to that without having that tossed in as well. I was WAY more concerned about that being run against us than I ever was the SI slam.
I wouldn't necessarily agree with that - removing the inside run out of the Strong I makes the QB Rollouts easy to defend.
Just removing the SI slam doesn't take away the inside run game. We ran very effectively inside out of the weak I, I and single back in the vast majority of our games. I agree that QB rollouts are VERY easy to defend, but you have to give up a big part of your inside run D to do it. Facing you forces a bitch of a dilemma...Do you take away the QB runs, which are scary as hell, but give up the inside or do you hope like hell that you use them sparingly and play a far more standard D? That's why I wrote what I did. If I was ***O*** I'd have never have gone for that deal. IMO, it just hands you the game, if you want/are willing to take it. All you'd have to do is run heavy and split it 50/50 between QB roll and the other inside runs. If there's a way to effectively defend both, I've got no clue what it is. The best D against your O is to keep your O off the field.
I sure hope none of this is coming off disrespectfully. I tip the hat I'm not wearing to you on how you played us. I was nervous as hell that you'd put in an O like you had against NAV and was thankful that you beat us straight up, instead.
No disrespect PP. I know Copeland is a weapon that forces teams to make choices. The problem with going 50/50 though is that if you do stop the QB run it's usually for a loss, at least with the SI Slam, you're guaranteed a gain. It's why, with the exception of a couple of games, I've never spammed the Rollouts. I just like having it there to keep teams honest.
And SI - you seriously need to quit trolling my responses. It's disrespectful. I tried for the Green Bay game as well. I tried for the last game of the regular season as well. It's not like it was the first time I've tried to get a non SI Slam game, and the Gamblers actually use the Strong I Slam the least of the 4 remaining teams... by a long shot.
He called TSE SI...I lollered.
