I've come to look forward to these weekly videos so much - super informative, fun to watch/absorb, and definitely improving understanding of some more nuanced things to watch for during the games. Really enjoyed the aspect of the run-pass-pass quiz to pre-determine the likeliest play selection. It's a tall order, but I see Fiske helping to blow up the timing of some of the slow mesh due to initial burst into the backfield.

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

Yeah if Fiske can get penetration on those it'll be a long day for Wake.

@danc2841 10 ай бұрын

Nice work, Kev! Wake Forest's Slow Mesh RPO somewhat reminds me of the knuckleball in baseball. The knuckleball is often thrown by pitchers who might not have the same fastball velocity as others, but it gives them a unique advantage with its unpredictable movement. Similarly, the Slow Mesh RPO seems like a tactic employed to level the playing field, especially when going head-to-head with traditionally stronger teams. The extended decision-making time it grants the quarterback is akin to the unpredictable trajectory of a knuckleball, keeping the defense guessing and off balance. Wake Forest's utilization of this innovative offense has definitely set them apart, and it's going to be intriguing to see how FSU adapts to it in the upcoming game.

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

Love this analogy! I was just thinking about Pitts C4 and how it reminded me of Virginias packline defense in basketball.

So don't bring a plus one and wait for them to make a mistake. Or always have your D/line attack at an angle and have your secondary fill cut back lanes....oh yeah, jam their receivers....HARD

@douglastuten5340 10 ай бұрын

I know it sounds simple but I agree. The wait and see d of last year was horrible

@dylenalfaro4114 10 ай бұрын

It comes downs to jimmy and joe. You need a QB that’s good and can make these reads accurately, you need a RB with good vision to see multiple lanes. And you still need a decent enough line to hold pressure. Watching the Pitt game they had some good plays against the slow mesh bc Wakes O-line got beat real fast. The absence of Hartman can be felt this year.

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

When that had that though with Perry, Hartman, and Walker they were unreal though. I agree 100% though. They don't have that talent this year.

@encycl07pedia- 10 ай бұрын

I'd blitz to counter it. Don't give Wake's QB time in the backfield to think. Don't give them any lanes to run. Get them behind the chains and mix in blitz looks to add extra confusion. Break the QB and you completely shut down their entire offense.

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

Works if you can get there in time. Hartman did a really good job of finding the open man vs blitzes.

Great analysis… again. What is your football background, player, coach? I played some high school football (Plantation Am. Heritage) and played some football post high school and did a little defensive coaching. Your breakdowns and insight are spot on. I have followed FSU since 1979 when I was in middle school and enjoy your takes immensely. Go Noles!

Thanks man. I played through high school and really just never stopped learning. I had some great coaches in high school and have found great resources to continue learning today online.

@1980hgf 10 ай бұрын

I think defensive pre-snap motion and stunting could at least make this difficult for a less experienced QB. That could provide some frustration for the offense, but it does look tough to defend when it's clicking.

What you didn't get into is how to beat this play. Do defenses need to disguise better and trick Wake into sending the ball where they want it?

@grillmaster95 10 ай бұрын

You beat it by getting pressure in the backfield. The whole point of the read being slow is to make the defense choose to either go after the receiver or to attack the run. If you sit at the read for multiple seconds with no pressure, the long receiver routes come open because DBs can't cover someone for that long basically no matter what. If you force the read to happen early with D line pressure, then the defensive scheme hasn't been tipped yet and the receivers are still covered by DBs

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

I would keep safeties back, force the run, jam up interior gaps with the DL and let the safeties rally personally

@joshuahawkins6294 10 ай бұрын

Wow. Great pickup So kev, how would you stop it?

@XsandNoles 10 ай бұрын

Let's work under the assumption that you won't win one on ones. I would plug up interior gaps either by pinching my DEs or playing a tite front, force the give, and let my safeties rally to the run game. I think that's what most teams are doing to them this year and they don't have the run game right now to sustain much offense.

@flch95 10 ай бұрын

With all their veteran pieces gone and them not having their QB1, don’t care how slow this mesh is if we allow more than 13 points, it will be very disappointing.

@pound4pound380 10 ай бұрын

@XsandNoles until our defense stops it I'm not buying it. That wake forest offense is still dangerous. They are highly capable of scoring plus our offense hasn't done well against them againg Clawson too. This a a major problem of a game stylistic for us for sure. That offense has been stopped by weaker teams with Hartman last season but that team had it's way against our defense in Doak. Hartman is great QB but that system causes problems. You think Fuller and his support staff didn't look at film for 3 years now? They have and what ever they are doing to combat that style has not worked. Norvell play calling has been slowed down against that defense too
