Line of scrimmage

I didn't watch this game.

Why does Raymond Moore III have a 57-yard touchdown on the first play from Scrimmage and get the ball two more times?

Well, he's their backup quarterback as Colson was back, you know, so I think they were getting a little gadgety there, you know, and then wanted to bring in their real court.

But I mean, I can't sit here and explain much about the UTEP offense to you.

Say, "You know what? Let someone else take it.

I, I, I get hit, uh, way too often when I'm there." But, you know, the, there's the eight sacks, and then there was also, what, I think four, uh, batted passes at the line of scrimmage, I believe.

So it's, y- even if you're not getting to him, you're getting your hands up there and you're disrupting the play anyway.

That's, that's 12 plays that just d- don't go anywhere when the quarterback drops back and has the ball in his hands.

So that's not a bad thing either.

Like, okay, go ahead, try some stuff you don't normally do.

By the way, uh, Cam Heyward, uh, again, I'm glad you brought him up, a sack and a half in the game, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, and the pass defensed, I believe passed him for J.J. Watt for the most for a defensive lineman, um, swatting balls down at the line of scrimmage.

That wasn't the one that Queen almost caught off the ricochet, was it? I think that was a different one.

Back at the point of what looked like a sack.

Well, I think what they're arguing, I don't know that he was down, but was the ball across the line of scrimmage? You're allowed to throw it away, but if the ball doesn't cross the line of scrimmage, it's intentional grounding.

He's allowed to throw it away if he gets outside the tackle box, which he was.

I think it's going to be grounded.

Spot on the foul.

Walser down, second down.

The rule is if you're outside the tackle box, you can throw the ball away when there doesn't have to be a receiver around, but the ball must cross the line of scrimmage.

Now, he didn't get enough on that football because of the impending tackle.

That one is no bargain.

48 yards net, however, from Scrimmage.

And so Green Bay has been pushed back into their own country.

It looks like we're going to wind up with a real head-pumping in the line.

Tried to deflect the ball at this larger front.

Willie Wood's grip is the Packers' ball now with 56 seconds to go.

45 yards net from Scrimmage.

It was not exactly a pitcher putt, but it got the job done.

I think it was more they were missing tackles.

I don't think that Jordan Davis was doing a good enough job at the line of scrimmage, which is his specialty, and I've seen him play – at a high level there before.

And if you go in the film, you see, you know, a times when, when, when he's not a force at the line of scrimmage when he's capable of being.

So a combination of all three levels, frankly, not doing enough on first down.

And you mentioned Jordan Davis.

And there have been years when the secondary hasn't been good.

There have been years when the receivers need upgrades.

But the constant in this near 30-year period has been – The line of scrimmage that you would go into the year and you say the offensive line and the defensive line, they go into most games with a decided advantage on the offensive line and the defensive line.

Yeah.

And so even if your offensive line is struggling, if your running backs can get up through the line of scrimmage, I mean, there's a good chance they might get to the second level just off – misses and broken tackles uh yeah so yeah yeah they did abandon it a bit i think asking trace johnson freshman quarterback to throw the ball 44 times was absolutely bonkers he only completes 24 of those but for a respectable 265 yards and i think it was a respectable day for him uh yeah it was overall yeah you got to give that to him uh but two interceptions very similar set line to owens but man he was asked to do a lot man he was a lot against a against a fired up uh playing very, very good UTSA defense.

I mean, for

a freshman, he was very honorable, for sure, but they put way too much on his shoulders, for sure.

The other thing, too, and as that game wore on, it was pretty evident to me that most football games are won this way.

You win the line of scrimmage, you win.

And Seattle just dominated.

Their offensive line dominated Kansas City's defensive line, and their defensive line dominated Kansas City's offensive line.

And he's like, he is so quick.

He's so elusive.

He is so good off the line of scrimmage in and out of breaks.

We want to be able to access that underneath throws to Smith and Jigba because once he gets the ball in his hands, he's, He's ridiculous.
