Spurrier to his QBs: Never Tip Where You're Throwing the Ball

[WilsonHog]

What kind of advice is that?

Pretty obvious that the man knows nothing about playing/coaching quarterbacks.

Oh, and he's also teaching his receivers some move called "foot fire," which almost has to be illegal in the SEC.

[redbarn]

Ark better find some pass defense when we play SC. 

[Footballref]

Maybe Casey should take some of that advice I have never seen someone telegraph their pass worse then he does.

[gohogs]

maybe they were doing that

I played pickup ball in college with guys who were better at looking off safeties than HDN's QB's.

[sowmonella]

Jr High QB's are taught not to stare down a reciever.

[Dixie Chicken]

Doesn't know what he's talking about. Spurrier's never coached up a Tony Romo type quarterback. He could learn a thing or two if he'd spend some time with David Lee.

Sorry Wilson, I usually agree with you, but Spurrier has a great reputation as an offensive football coach, especially when it comes to the passing game.  We unfortunately will be able to get a good comparison on coaching for the passing game when SC plays Arkansas.

This is why we need a "sarcasm" button.

Other teams have more than one receiver? Not fair...

Don't even tell me Wilson did some sarcasm. Hell, I didn't think he was at that level. Okay, my stupid!

So has anyone ever said this too you? "It's like you wake up in a different world everyday"

[Hawgz4Life]

all the experts know that this "not tipping off the db's and this 'foot fire'" is all a bunch of flash in the pan stuff that won't last the whole season in the SEC.

[94 Hawg]

tipping, play calling, whatever.

i bet super steve don't know nothin' about ladders

[EastexHawg]

I bet Spurrier doesn't even know the value of LADDERS...

I don't think he'll ever make it in this coaching business.

[ArkieBrat]

+1 Dixie Chicken.  LMAO!!

[Pig_Lebowski]

If a QB throws a pass squarely into the back of our DB's, well, thats good defense.

[SultanofSwine]

How did those two teams get away with WR's running past the first down marker. I thought it was a penalty for them to run past the yellow line...

I agree, whereas we know the space between our ceiling and floor is about 18 inches.

I guess you noticed that last night too. I was pissed everytime I viewed one of there widerecivers catching the all right at the first down marker. Why are our recievers not coached like that. Gosh it is simple to figure out. We just can't seem to get that down. It isn't becuase our players are not executing it is the coaching when it happens over and over again.

[Reservoir Hogs]

What I noticed all night last night is that when smelly was passing to a reciever, he was actually open... Imagine that, a passing attack that woeks to gets Recievers open somehow.   OHH to have a good coach

Who wants it more? What is this, high school or junior high football?  Coaching, talent, and depth wins football games. 

[Choctaw Hog]

That would be hard to accomplish with all of Nutt's 1 receiver pass plays.

No way, coaching, talent and depth are all over-rated. It comes down to heart. And who loves that helmet the most.

If we come out against South Carolina in press coverage, I might break my TV.  They will score on us lighting quick if we start out in press man ala Bama.

[KluchHawg]

But, according to Woodson, Smelley was looking down his receiver last night.  During one of the side line reports it was said that Woodson went to his defense and told them to watch Smelley's eyes, that he was looking down the receiver every play. 

I'm sure all coaches teach this, if we think it is common sense, then I bet every coach in the country knows it too.  Just because your teaching someone every thing they need to know, doesn't mean they are going to be able to do it.  Sometimes it comes down to natural talent.  Some coaches get lucky finding that natural talent, and some don't.  I guess you can say some also get lucky finding natural talent, but can't figure out how to keep them on  the team.   

[biggiepiggie]

Running routes is way over-rated.  All a guy has to do is run a few yards down
the field, stop, turn around and wait for the ball.  Simple as can be.

someone needs to come up with nifty sarcasm symbol to place in moments of sarcasm.  However, I suppose it would over emphasis the sarcastic statement and lose some of its humor, nevermind.

That my friend is how Kentucky got all those ints last night, by reading Smelley's eyes after Woodson tipped of the defenders to look at em.  Hell, it sounds like Woodson could coach the Razorback secondary for an improvement.  At least their heads would be turned in the right direction!

[Oklahawg]

I was concerned to see so many handoffs that were discreet. Don't coaches know that if you don't telegraph the handoff the handoffer runs the risk of having the handoffee not see it?

[Bigmac]

How did those two teams get away with WR's running past the first down marker. I thought it was a penalty for them to run past the yellow line...

And throwing on first down. When was that allowed. Better check the NCAA regs.

[67Hog]

Maybe Casey should take some of that advice I have never seen someone telegraph their pass worse then he does.

And I wish Casey wouldn't hand the ball off like a rural postal delivery person.  I mean, can't you pretend there might be another mailbox?

No kiddin'.  I heard one of them TV guys saying something about that too and I almost spilled my beer.

Anybody knows you take the snap and fix your eyes on your "go to receiver." (The only one out)  When he makes his break at the first down marker, you throw it a little late so he has to come back just a little and he catches it a couple yards short. 

Punt.

Go ahead and ask the experts, if you don't believe me.

Thank you for noticing, I had almost forgotten since I am no longer watching as of this year.  I watched MM last year continually deliver very well disguised handoffs that had defenses wondering which back had the ball and taking steps in the wrong direction.  Then Casey would come in and hold it out there for the world to see and the entire defense would be waiting on our back at the line.  It was unbelievable the difference.  I tried pointing this out to several people and they acted like it wasn't happening.  Good to know someone else has noticed this.

I suspect Casey has been taught this.  I remember a few years ago when Iowa had a star quarterback (the year they played USC in a Florida bowl, I forget his name) who handed off in the same deliberate way.

When I played football in high school (not a quarterback), I remember the coaches teaching the quarterbacks to hold the ball close to their body and then tuck it into the pocket of the running back.

This is more like holding out a mailbag at a train station for a train to extend a hook to capture.

I don't understand such intricacies of the game, too long removed, and never that deep a fan, but still, this doesn't make sense.

Jr High QB's are taught not to stare down a reciever.

They also usually have more than one receiver in a route.

Houston "I'm a better coach the further South I go" Nutt and David "Barney Fife / Waterboy" Lee aren't even qualified to hold Spurrier's headset cord on the sideline...
