Simplest form - getting a step on a db.  It can happen several ways - it can schemed (NE Patriots), it can come from pure speed (Desean Jackson) , it can come from great route running (Antonio Brown) or it can come from big physical wr's (Calivin Johnson). It gives the qb a little room for error and/or confidence, if he puts the ball in a certain area to his wr's, they'll be there to make a play.

In the FU game, the DBs knew that the QB was only getting about 2 seconds to throw the ball so they were not worried about getting beat deep. With this in mind, they simply played press coverage and most of our WRs were not physical enough to shed the DB. This is why pretty much only Thaddeous was able to get open. He is apparently our most physical receiver.

What does this really mean, beyond the up front obvious, and why is it brought up so much? Were we terrible or good at it in Chico's offense, or is it just extremely important in Seth's offense?

What has been said plus we were not good at it in Chico's offense either.

  • Guys aren't beating their defenders off the line (there are a repertoire of moves that receiver should have, otherwise the DB picks up on the one move and just sits on it)
  • Guys aren't fast enough, or are being forced to the boundary
  • Guys aren't creative enough in their route running to deceive DBs
  • Guys aren't getting out of their breaks fast enough. This limits the amount of separation you're supposed to get, if say you run a drag or shallow cross
  • As has been said, Thaddeous is a physical receiver, and on top of that has he's got a repertoire of moves, and is a good route runner. Additionally, as a Y receiver, he has routes designed to attack soft zones behind the LBs and in front of safeties over the middle of the field.

This should change once we get into conference play.

Dear God I hope so. Florida's defense is salty, but our WR's haven't exactly been lighting it up against the other teams either

Their defense is likely top 5 in the nation.

They've allowed 14 points and 389 yards total (3 games).

I think you and I have different ideas about good defense.

He is saying OUR OFFENSE hasn't been lighting it up against other offenses.  Second part of the sentence isn't referring to Florida's defense.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Yeah, while 10k students may be okay with this, the other 36k may not be happy about it at all, especially when all 46k are complaining about how expensive college has become. Having 15-20k students picketing to drop football doesn't help recruiting or TP enticements.

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
