Anyone can be a passer in fall camp playing against no defense with zero fear of being hit. Good lord. Why post that? Maybe Reed will be a great passer this year, and maybe he won't. But either way, that's just a dumb thing to post. Sorry.
They posted it to trigger the bozos like you, and it worked.

Lol. Nobody in our social media marketing group is that clever or self-aware. As evidenced by their decades of failure and stupidity.

I did not ask what needed to happen. I asked if anyone actually thinks this is concern and why at this time.

If Reed actually cannot even get a snap without showing a tell it's a going to be a long season. My thoughts are that it's of zero concern

What if it was all part of the plan that this year offset feet means run and equal footing is pass.
That'll throw them!

It's very much unlikely. But I'm not sure Elko and the coaching staff have earned us having impetuous confidence in them yet.

If the tipping was as big a deal as it seems, it's a huge issue that our staff either didn't notice it (whereas opposing staffs did), or simply couldn't correct it. People are justified in being concerned about it


Regardless, we don't have footage of what Reed looks like on run plays right now (and thus no comparison), so the OP's intention here is largely futile

This was a big topic of conversation at the end of last year, I'm surprised how many people are not in the know. Split feet were pass, feet side by side was run. It was highest accurate at predicting run/pass, the only time it didn't work was RPO's.

that video shared did not show EVERY offensive play. thats the only way you could prove it to me

Disagree

Elko has shown he has intelligence from the start of his coaching time here. Missing a detail this basic, intelligent coaches would not miss. So I'm not wasting time thinking it will be missed.

Except he already did miss (or couldn't correct) it last season. Sark and his staff noticed and apparently took advantage

If by tipping pass you mean it's obvious he's passing in a passing drill, you're absolutely right. Otherwise , I have no idea what the actual f you're alluding to.


His feet, pre-snap


As inane as the OP. It's a passing drill, ffs


Ummm, I was just helping you understand "what the actual F they were alluding to"

I didn't say I thought it was a problem.

Take your ffs and gfy with it

i have been watching the vids from Woodland Ags on YouTube. He sometimes has feet offset and sometimes doesn't. I have not seen a correlation between pass or runs plays with foot placement presnap.

Maybe just me, but this seems like he does one or the other to mislead the defense.

When I see these statements I know immediately the poster has little football IQ.

QB college and Pro who have feet offset staggered at snap:

Brady
Mahomes
Roger's
Manning x 2
Prescott
Vick
Stafford
Brees
Newton
Farve
Every college QB playing

You get the point. Don't believe everything someone posted on Twitter.

Oh wow, when I see comments like this I know the poster is full of ****. I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Split feet is pass, got it? Feet together is run? RPO's could be either. Here is a post from last year pointing it out.



I watched this first hand last year after it was pointed out.

Here is a thread from last year talking about it.

https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3514923/1

Please post a video that shows different.

Tannehill had the same issue and this is a IG post on it from the Longhorn network.

No video showing different? Same BS poster talking out their A$$. The #1 QB you listed was Tom Brady, if it was a running play 9 times out of 10 Tom was under center, if Tom was in shotgun 9 time out of 10 it was a pass play so of course his feet were split. Thanks again for nothing.

The only one talking out of their ass here is you. Compiling clips from passing drills and acting like you can see that he is tipping passes is just embarrassing . Just take the L and move on.

ETA - Reed has his feet even in the clips in the op, yet you're pointing to some other random twitter video claiming his feet are offset when he passes. Which is it, Mr football guru?

Show me a thread or video where this was debunked. Anything at all. If there is something out there I missed lets see it.

I don't need to. You already debunked it for us. You posted clips from a passing drill where Reed has his feet together and then you posted clips from a game saying his feet are offset when he passes. Oof!

After the Auburn game was the 1st I heard of Reeds feet tipping plays.



Couldn't find the no huddle version of the game.

Pretty simple. Go back and watch the games on YouTube SEC shortened version and report back. Again this has hashed and rehashed.

Yeah the 23 year old running the football X account needs to not post dumb sheet like that.

Can you post the clips of run plays from fall practice so we can see whether he's tipping the plays based on whether his feet are staggered or not?

I, just like you, want to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks in advance.

The thing the tippers don't seem to understand, even if what they claim Marcel is doing is 100% true every time (it isn't)... is it doesn't matter nearly as much as they think. I also love how some examples shown actually showed plays we whipped the defense on.

OL have long been accused of tipping run/pass based on stance, even up to HOF level players. And to a man they all laugh off the social media warriors who think they cracked some code of which they have no comprehension of understanding. So much more goes into a successful offensive play other than if a team feels confident a run or a pass is coming. And often times purely based on pre game film study of tendencies/down and distance. The opposing team will know with high confidence on at least a third or half of the plays every game anyways.

Should we always try to be as consistent as possible in lining up? Sure. Is the tip (Marcel, RB stance or arm positioning, OL stance, wr aggression in stance etc) the end all be all every time 100%? Of course not. Should the offense still be able to beat the defense if they execute a play properly even if the defense knows run or pass (and nothing else)? Yes.

What you need are good, creative calls in key situations of games to keep defenses off balance. The rest is who prepped the best and who executes the best.

I'm not sure which there is more of, gullible or ignorant in this thread. The lines have become blurred. People should stay off the internet, it apparently unnecessarily killing their love of the game. Stop listening to stupid people you don't know.

Still has the exaggerated flash every time he throws.


What does this mean? I seriously don't understand.

Does anybody know?

When he throws, he drops his elbow and the ball down before swinging it back up and around the shoulder.

In some cases, he drops the ball below his waist it's so bad.

Very inefficient throwing motion that creates accuracy and timing issues. He had it BAD in high school.

Very hard to fix, specially by the time he's 3 years into college ball. No idea what Jimbo and Bobby were thinking.

As I recall, they were late in the recruiting cycle and still didn't have a decent QB committed.

No. Go back and read the thread again.

I made that observation long before anyone, including the op, said anything about tipping pass plays.

Lord please let it end. One more time:

1. OP asked if Reed was tipping pass or run presnap.
2. Video showed Reed during practice passing drills.
3. 1 and 2 have absolutely no correlation.

Anyone posting anything else either:
1. Should have started another thread; or
2. Should have found another thread to comment on; or
3. Is a moron.

I'm 60 and can throw that if nobody is gonna hit me…

Can he stay in there and not run in the face of a blitz and make the accurate throw?

I'll sit on the couch and watch that. I'm out!

I'm gonna shift gears here and complain abiut the problem that I see:

so many of these receivers are running at half-speed when they're catching the ball.

Old Man and Clouds used to run EVERY play at FULL speed, and we had full unis on.


It was called PRACTICE for a reason. Especially important because QB and Receiver need to learn timing so it is second nature. Do in oractice what you're gonna do in the game. What's the point of running a passing drill to a trotting receiver?

And we wonder why so many of our routes are under thrown or overthrown.
