EDSBS LIVE! THE WISHBONE EDITION.

1) I like the end around schemes. They either fail cataclysmically (sp?) or run for 30+ yards.

2) Varsity Blues. “I duen’t want, YURR LIFE”

3) Nope, not blitzing. Droppin back in cover 3 w/ a DE robber, hopin’ for an easy pick.

4) “He drove his helmet into the turf”

1) Playbook porn for me: bunch formation, 2 tight-end sets, and bubble screens.

2) Friday Night Lights. The next day, I played a game of rugby where I led my team in tackles, in spite of having a walking concussion.

3) I’m too much of a damn meat-eater, especially here in the Big Easy. Aggressive as hell and neva gonna come back down.

4) Again, bunch formation, two tight end sets, and these lyrics from Outkast’s “Tomb of the Boom”:

“I know some hoes slutty
I optioned a bitch off like a nigga playin rugby”

1. Favorite Football thing that goes boom.
 -Has to be the CB blitz off the edge. Fun to watch the corner creep and if successful, blow the QB up for a big, game changing play.

2. Favorite Football Movie?
- “All the Right Moves” Three words “Lea Thompson’s Bird”

3. Are you blitzing?
- More of a Zone Blitz. Causing confusion to my wife, friends, and peers.

4. Most suggestive footall terminology?
- The Dig Route

1. Student Body Right
2. I’ll go to sports movie hell for saying this, but Necessary Roughness gets me psyched. She’s a kicker, he’s old, that other guy is fat…hilarity ensues!
3. Tight and Wide. You better release quick, or I’m collecting chinstraps.
4. “Solid interior penetration from the three-technique”

4. If your fly is open, you know your taking it deep.

Is anyone else having problems getting the chat to load correctly? I’ve tried clearing my cache, using different browsers…nothing. Very very sad. :(

1. The quarterback sack.

2. “The Longest Yard” . . . the original, not that Adam Sandler crap.

3. If I was any more blitzin’, I’d be a reindeer.

4. “End around.”

“I don’t get it, Lattimer gained 30lbs in the offseason and an attitude to go with it?”

“Everyone knows you can put on an extra few lbs of muscle just by hitting the weights.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNVxedatlu0

Probably the best scene, other than when Lattimer attempts to rape that poor girl. “What are you doing? Leading me on?!?!!” He tosses her like a rag doll, it’s not healthy that I find that hilarious is it?

1. Favorite Football thing that goes boom.
Option play pitched at the exact right time

2. Favorite Football Movie?
“Victory” oh wait…
’74 "Longest Yard or theatrical release of “Any Given SUnday” The uncut version sucked- except for the part of LT sniffing coke off hookas tittles- that part is fine with me.

3. Are you blitzing?
Laying back as a Spur Back, but not afraid to blitz and blow some bitches up when it’s necessary

4. Most suggestive footall terminology?
Dick Butkus Award

Two notes from that fantastic clip:
a) Charles Thompson was good, but nobody ran the wishbone option like Jamelle Holieway. He still hasn’t looked at his pitchman.
b) How nice is it to see OU with the old-school matte finish helmets instead of those damnable sparkly things they wear now? What’s next, OU—breaking out the bedazzler for the sleeve trimming?

The answers:
1) Nekkid bootleg. Gots to be completely nekkid.
2) M*A*S*H – Just give the ball to Dr. Oliver Harmon Jones.
3) Bringing Sam and Will up the middle, and “waxin’ chumps like a candle.”
4) Not really terminology, but back when brother Abram was playing WR for LSU, “The QB has been looking for Booty all night.”

If there’s anything more suggestive than complimenting a position player’s “ball-handling abilities,” I have yet to hear it.

4. half back toss

1. Shotginn formation (now retired, but soon to be un-retired with Ray Small)
2. Forget the movies, I’m watching Friday Night Lights on NBC
3. Not blitzing, with supporting evidence from Gregg Easterbrook
4. "That errant throw left his receiver exposed over the middle"

1) The perfectly executed play action pass that leaves safeties and linebackers looking like their feet are nailed to the turf…

2)Johnny Be Good- that scene where Anthony Michael Hall is watching QB highlights while he playing drums, and he nods during the TD passes and shakes hs head “NO” when there is an INT or sack…well, that’s just the height of moviedom there…

3) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, NO LET’S NOT BLITZ LEAK, LET’S PLAY DEEP ZONE AND GIVE HIM TIME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BRILLIANT! NOT THAT I’M BITTER OR ANYTHING! HAHAHAHAHA!

4) He’s going deep to the tight end!

1) A well-blocked WR reverse pass, especially during that split second where all is still, the crowd and announcers silenced with anticipation, and the receiver cocks back to hurl the ball downfield.

2) Rudy, if only because it bears an early resemblance to my own sojourn to BC.

3) I’d rather drop all 11 into coverage and watch the CPU QB run in circles as his neurons melt.

4) Scoutspeak: “He’s got a nice bubble” or any coach who “falls in love” with a prospect.

1. I have to go with the cornerback or safety blitz. I love watching defensive backs wallop QBs.
2. North Dallas Forty.
3. Am I blitzing? Always. The better question is whether I’m blitzed or not.
4. The double reverse, because to imagine it requires at least three people involved.

I would comment but my boobs might grow and nothing else would. Since I’m a man, that would be a bad thing.

1. What is your favorite football play/scheme/thing that goes boom.

One of Paul Johnson’s evil genius ’bone wrinkles that he breaks out during the first quarter of the Army game every year.

2. Tell us your favorite football movie.

North Dallas Forty by default. (In contrast to baseball movies, most football movies suck.)

3. Are you blitzing? A philosophical and literal question, really.

I’m forty freakin’ years old with two pre-teen boys. My life is all prevent defense these days.

4. Most suggestive piece of football terminology?

“The two gap.”

1) The Statue of Liberty play… sometimes, you have to stick with the classics.

2) I have a soft spot for “Trouble Along The Way” – John Wayne was more believable as a football coach than a Mongol.

3) In my world, even the cheerleaders blitz.

4) Do I have to point out that while tight ends may look cute, you have a lot more fun with a split end?

1. Favorite Play – The Hook n Ladder all of the, what, 3 times it has actually worked for substantial additional yardage.

2. Football Movie – Radio – I feel so sorry for him when he’s told he can’t go on the road trip with the team so he goes and plays on the home field in the rain. How did his radio keep working in the downpour? Cause his name is Radio.

3. Blitzing? Nah, I’m more in that “bend but don’t break trying not to give up the big play” mode. The fans hate it because it never dominates. My opponents are marching right down the field but somehow I keep them out of the endzone. My field position always sux.

4. Suggestive? Aren’t the def. linemen always trying to blow off their blocks?

1) anything done by boise state in the last five minutes of a bowl game.

2) hmm… how about blue chip recruit charles jefferson. “”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPtLIP3vzYY" rel="nofollow">i thought he just flew in for games"

3) blitz, you say? only in my good man.

4) turnover

and again, my leet coding skills fail when i need them most. for my blitz i’m going with sweet’s ballroom blitz

1. Halfback option. First play of the Tedford era in a 70-22 beating of Baylor. To be followed by many more. Plus really cool to see someone other than the QB throw a pass.

2. Gotta be Little Giants.

3. Actually they’re quite delicious.
http://www.epicurious.com/images/cooking/holiday/jewish/blintz.jpg

4. “He nails it through the uprights.”

1. Any play when an O-Linemen pulls down the Line. Either someone is getting earholed or if executed incorrectly a D-Linemen has a clear path to the QB/RB and everything is about to get all blown up.

2. Necessary Roughness. Its so bad that its good.

3. Yes. From the edge and up the middle.

4. "The Center, Quarterback Exchange"

#12:

The only thing more suggestive than that is complementing a position player’s "ball-handling abilities,"

Given that I grew up in the Neal Anderson/Lorenzo Hampton/John L Williams/Great Wall of Florida era, I have a strong affinity for badass running games. If you like the Bone, you’re going to love watching Tebow come down the line w/ Percy Harvin trailing as the pitchman. The SEC is about to get a lesson in what Urban Meyer’s spread offense is really about. Namely running it down your frickin throat! (suggestive enough?)

1. Short yardage situations (especially 4th & goal). Everybody’s bringing it!

2. Nothing jumps out.

3. Blitzing? Every damn play! Although it’s great when your front 4 can line up and just whip em. BCS Championship Game anyone?

4. “He met him in the hole”

1. "The Play"

2. Necessary Roughness

3. Thank God for Youtube and all the insane people out there that post college football clips. If it were not for them I would have to hit the bottle to make it through the workday.

4. “He could go all the way!”

1) The crack-back block on a reverse.
2) Wildcats
3) Blitzin’ right up the middle.
4) “It’s a game of inches”

1. I-set, 2 Wide, triple option to the wide side. Watching Tony Rice execute this was perfection.

2. Rudy makes me all misty-eyed, but it’s far from the best football movie. Friday Night Lights gets that nod.

3. Blitzin’ with the OLB from the QB’s blind side, with the MLB up the middle every once in a while for a change. In nickel, it’s the nickel back blitz.

4. “Let’s go down to Erin Andrews on the field”

1. Favorite Football thing that goes boom.
Arrington over the top

2. Favorite Football Movie?
Program, no contest

3. Are you blitzing?
I blitz. . . all day. Don’t quit. Don’t quit.

4. Most suggestive footall terminology?
From Brad Nesler in NCAA 2003-7 “He busts a big one on the defense”

1) The Mills route
2) Semi-Tough. Not really, just the first one I remember. How come nobody mentioned the Quarterback Princess?
3) Blitzed? Well no, never convicted of it.
4) Perhaps the end around.

1. The running play that seems innocuous, then the RB makes a couple cuts and – konichiwa, bitches.

2. It’s got to be “Any Given Sunday.” You know, “Go 999 down the field. Shock the shit out of them.” “Are you throwing up, you anorexic motherfucker?” “Get yo hands outta my ass.” Brilliant.

3. Only zone blitzin’.

4. Pounding the hole.

1) The “Way Hide” to the tight end at the goal-line. The only play in Willingham’s offense that ever worked for ND.
2) The Best of Times… “When the first leaf of autumn falls forlornly to the ground… let’s play some football!” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090713/
3) Weak question, weak answer.
4) “The Slot”

1) Play action on goal line, resulting in hob-nail boot/Tebow shot put type toss to a back or TE who is so lonely, eharmony can’t help

2) Knute Rockne:all-American

3) Hell, I’m looking for a good left tackle to staunch the pressure from a hoard of crazed Orgerons

4) shoot that gap, baby

4) Am I strange for having the phrase “getting earholed” come to mind first?

Good answer on No. 2, Ryan . . . I should have thought of that one. “These are not the best of times and nothing is easy anymore.” “I’m not a has-been. I’m a never-was. I aspire to be a has-been.”

“Is it too late to get out of the game?” “It’s too late to get out of the dance!” Is it too late to change my answer?

Leave it to (Comment) No. 34 to change the Georgia guy’s mind!

1. Toss sweep with a pulling guard. Nothing sweeter than turning the corner and the first target you see is a CB. Then knocking him on his ass.

2. The Longest Yard – original version

3. Blitzin’? Picking up on it and changing the blocking assignment.

4. Naked bootleg.

1. Fullback Counter

2. North Dallas Forty

3. Blitzing like the Wermacht through France

4. Splitting the uprights

Favorite football play that goes boom: the toss sweep because my guys are bigger, stronger and faster than your guys

Favorite football movie: Remember the Titans (Right side! Strong Side!)

Am I blitzing? Once per quarter on Saturdays, and double that on Thursday night.

Most suggestive piece of football terminology: Those are some soft hands on that tight end.

Feel free to give some props during the show to our blog, The Wishbone!

/shameless self-promo

goddamn I keep missing the show

1) The Wildcat. McFadden running an option out of the QB spot is glorious. And it’s going to be in NCAA 2008. I’m coming already.

2) I agree with The Program – if only, because we watched it before almost every home game in high school. Glorious.

3) I try to blitz as often as possible, but there is some solid pass protection in this household

4) lined up inside the box

Goddammit, not only is this the fifth consecutive week that I had to miss the broadcast for fucking work(!), but Blue is apparently stealing the thoughts from my brain. I was going to go with North Dallas Forty and split the uprights.

1) Goal line. MLB vs. fullback. We’re gonna need a sponge to clean up all the shattered bones.
2) “Brian’s Song” Yeah, I cried. Go fuck yourself.
3) Nah, I prefer to let the offense complete short passes then blast the ever-living hell out of the WRs. We’ll trade inches for blood.
4) Three yards and a cloud of dust. I like it dirty.

1. the hook and ladder
2. Rudy? No – as his ND d-coach George Kelly said: “Of all the nice kids who walked on here over all these years, they had to make a movie about that asshole.” Brian Song by a mile.
3. Not Greg Mattison blitzing on 3rd+ and long against MSU 2 straight years as ND’s defensive coordinator. How someone got demoted by Bob Davie and promoted by Urban Meyer makes my head swim.
4. Taking the snap from center.

1. Play-action pass off the option. Low risk, sneaky as hell, and when it works it’s a game-changer.

2. The Program. a. “Are you hurt, or are you injured? ‘Cause if you’re hurt, you can play.” b. “Call it an oil change.” c. Kristy Swanson doing leg extensions.

3. Yes, yes, yes. Watch the 2006 Insight Bowl. See what happens when you blitz, Lyle Setencich?

4. Putting eight in the box. Is it a donut order or a gangbang? You decide.

1) old school: student body right. New school: 82-sluggo -win
2) none of them are any good, IMHO
3) Blitzing? Schvitzing, more likely
4) from the 2007 Rose Bowl: “They just got a lot of penetration on us,” Hart said

1) single-wing. stack the box!

2) call me crazy, but Any Given Sunday had the best football scenes of any movie, and that made up for its numerous shortcomings. also, pacino’s inches speech is amazing.

3) yes, but only to compensate for the shortcomings in my secondary :`(

4) as previously noted on this blog, recruiting speech is just creepy. “he’s not just tall, he’s long!”

1) Safety hitting WR coming across the middle. Boom goes the dynamite!
2) Strange Brew.
3) Blitzin’ like Donner, Bitches.
4) “Cox loads the shotgun, fires it deep to the wide reciever on a blown coverage.”

1. What is your favorite football play/scheme/thing that goes boom.

Dead tie:
a) Jamarcus Russell when he’s given time and when the receivers can catch the ball.
b) Darren McFadden in the wildcat formation. He could win the heisman next year if he was QB. It’s like Houston Nutt found the cheat code.

2. Friday night lights, although “The Program” is a close second due to the lattimer factor.

“What’s wrong with y’all? Y’all are playin’ like some little girls! Y’all act like you never played football before! These guys are nothin’! "

I just broke my fist punching a wall while writing that.

3. Am I blitzing?

I’m in a zone blitz. I’m lazy, in my 30’s and see no need to waste energy blitzing if it ain’t gonna work; but if you give me a hole I’ll put your QB in the fucking hospital.

4. Most suggestive piece of football terminology?

“scrambling to avoid the sack”

@No. 47:

They run the single wing at one of the high schools I cover. Guess what? The pee wee teams run it too, because the high school is. It’s the ’30s all over again! Hoovervilles! Militant facism! Breadlines!

1. Tackle-eligible

2. Forrest Gump- couldn’t have won the "61 MNC without him.

3. The run-blitz, whatever the hell that is.

4. “That receivers got sticky hands, Verne….”

4a. Forgot to mention when someone gets tired, “He needs a blow”. No THANK you, Double-Oh Seven.

1. Single wing, Beast.
 Go ahead, cover the overload. We’re still going to crush you.

 2. Any Given Sunday – no contest.

 3. I run the 33 Stack, what do you think?

 4. “Get up close and press him”

 #49,

 What HS do you cover?

 I do know that Menominee HS in Menominee, MI won the 1A State Championship running a balanced single wing last season. They obliterated a much bigger team in the state title game, scoring over 40+ with a bunch of players who looked like they belong on a Pop Warner youth team, they’re so small.

1. The Wildcat option pass.

2. The Program, of course.

3. Situational blitzer here; no need to go for it when it’s 3rd and 43, unless you are Domer-knob-slobber playing Miami…oh wait, that didn’t work out either.

4. This PBP from the 3rd quarter of the Arkansas MSU game;

“Johnson, under center. Takes it in hand, tosses out to Dick on the outside! Dick looking deep! Dick hits it!’

(QB to QB/WR to WR)

Since it’s now Wednesday and all, there appear to be several good candidates in this slideshow:

el chat log este aqui. escribeme a mi correo electronico; everydayshouldbesaturday – at – kleph.com

1. Delaware Wing-T, bay-bee…going medieval on your arses!

2. Something For Joey. If you don’t cry when you watch this movie, you’re just plain stone-hearted.

3. Safety blitz, linebacker blitz, corner blitz…shoot, I’d blitz my freaking athletic trainers if I had the chance.

4. Tight end.

1. Anytime that Nebraska ran the option during their heyday, especially when the QB would fake the pitch and turn up field.

2. None. They are all pretty bad.

3. Not often. Blitzing equals points for the other team.

4. “tight spot” The QB tried to force that one into a tight spot.

Harris,

I know what you’re thinking right now….and you should be ashamed!

1. Brady Quinn vs. Pitt and Purdue to start the 2005 season. the youtube video is particularly funny for the Purdue game.

As far as other schools go, the Darren McFadden offense is quite fun, as is anythign by mike leach.

2. Rudy. Screw you.

3. “I’m blitzed” is usually the connotation most appropriately associated with me.

4. Go Deep.

1) Flee flicker! Honorable mention to stiff-arming a kicker/punter.

2) Remember the Titans. “If you fumble my football, I wil break my foot off in your John Brown hind-parts, and THEN you will run a mile.”

3) Always and forever. Jumpin’ offsides while doin’ so.

4) Going deep to a wide receiver.

4. O-Linemen will get this, “Protect the backside A-Gap.” Also, “Double team the 3 and come off on the linebacker.”

Re #50: My rural Ohio HS ran the single wing when I was there (in the Eighties, not the Thirties). We had only three kids on the team over 200 pounds, so we had run something that relied on scheme more than size. When that thing works, it’s beautiful to watch.

1. What is your favorite football play/scheme/thing that goes boom.

The Orgeron’s head after John Thompson’s defense surrenders 400 plus yards to Vanderbilt.

2. Tell us your favorite football movie.

Brian’s Song. Like the Godfather, James Caan’s character dies.

3. Are you blitzing?

No, today I’m disguising coverages.

4. Most suggestive piece of football terminology?

Turf toe. I have a foot fetish.

1. Favorite football play that goes boom

Play action pass, QB drops back with the ball on his hip and spots a wide open TE down the middle (big white boy with soft hands) who makes the catch. God its beautiful.

2. Favorite football movie.

Rudy, Godfather II and Die Hard (scene in both where ND is playing SC). Yea, I’m a homer.

3. Are you blitzing?

Are you kdding me. Leave ND’s CB’s one on one with a receiver. Why makes things easier.

4. Suggestive piece of football terminology.

The muff.

1. sprint draw (musa!)

2. M*A*S*H (“hotlips it’s the end of the half you moron!”)

3. Blitzin’ all day long

4. what the hell are ya, a god**** cannon?

#63,

 Go look up Menominee HS on youtube. They have some of their championship game highlights on there.
 POETRY.IN.MOTION.

1. Statue of Liberty executed to perfection by any non-BCS team against big bad cartel member, especially in a bowl game.

2. Quarterback Princess — but I always thought she should have chosen BJ the center over the skinny quarterback (it’s okay for me to think that — I’m a girl)

3. In football, yes. In life, blitz, like the full court press, can be a little creepy.

4. Plugged the hole — as in “As soon as it opened, he really plugged that hole.”

Blue, I swear I didn’t know she was 3.

1. Revealing my status as a Midwesterner and a former o-lineman, my favorite play is the perfectly executed counter trap. The LB comes through the vacant gap thinking he’s heading for dinner, when a pulling guard or tackle (depending on the formation) sends him into the parking lot. Guaranteed 8-10 yards every time, if blocked correctly. Beauty beyond my ability to express it.

2. Brian’s Song. Any movie that made my Dad — a magna cum laude graduate of the Red Foreman School of Fatherhood — cry has got to top this list.

3. Hell, yes, I’m blitzing. I’ll give up a couple big plays in exchange for your QB hearing footsteps for the next month. Net gain? My team.

4. “Sticking the C-gap” (more o-line terminology)…
