Carter Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I agreed with Beamer when it all came up to begin with... but that's what happens when you can only get undersized o-linemen to run in your offense and they're playing against Sunday talented defenses.

Pauliwood Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 How does this affect Georgia Tech? Well, according to head coach Paul Johnson, very minimally, if at all.“It’s always been illegal to crack back below the waist. That’s been illegal forever,” Johnson said. “I don’t think anybody teaches that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pickle1 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Doesn't matter that they "don't teach it." They do it, more than other teams. Now they're going to get more heavily penalized. Besides, Paul "I've got bigger fish to fry" Johnson just says stuff, he doesn't really mean most of the things he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjamez Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) It won't change anything. I ran the option in HS and I can tell you with full confidence this will change nada. And it certainly won't change the way Paul Johnsons coaches or runs his plays. Edited July 29, 2010 by kingjamez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it certainly won't change the way Paul Johnsons coaches or runs his plays.it will affect how it's called.. the complaints of the opposing coaches has been heard and that's why the wording and emphasis on it. you get a few more penalties in games like that and it can affect the outcome.

ramblinwreck9 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 A crackback is an illegal block where a lineman outside of 7 yards of the ball or in the backfield blocks towards the ball and below the waist within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. Offensive linemen (and traditional tight ends), by definition, cannot be guilty of a crackback as they are lined up within 7 yards of the ball. Wide receivers and slotbacks in the backfield are the target of enforcement of this rule. The intent of the clarification is to tighten the ability of the WR/SB to not allow them to take any kind of angle toward the defender they are blocking. The rules require that the blockers are required to be perpendicular to the line of scrimmage when they block the defender. As demonstration of the call, Rhoads showed film clips of 2 missed crackback calls – which interestingly enough were both Georgia Tech blockers (A-backs). He showed a third video of a called crackback which turned out to be incorrect as well since the blocker had properly squared up to the defender prior to contact being made.2 missed calls and 1 incorrect call. Considering the O-line can not be guilty (by definition) then this should not affect GT very much. It will cause the A-backs to have to be more aware of the way they block but it should also affect other teams also. Tech isn't the only only school where the backs block this. They are just the main school that coaches cry about.Sorry, that this reply has nothing to do academic rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo77 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Its funny how the nerds always bring up how there school is so much better and higher education. Tech is good for one thing, to be an engineer... Also I like to point out that half my friends didnt get into UGA and got into Tech when we applied coming out of high school. Its much more competitive to get into UGA now then it is for tech. now go play dungeons and dragons and watch your star stek reruns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I was expecting a negative rating for not pointing out that the pizza delivery guy that came to my house last night had a UGA Alumni tag on the front of his car and actually discussing the topic. :P Seriously, I stay away from the trash talking and only chime in when I feel like I have something to actually say.Also, stereotyping all Tech fans as "Nerds" is about as played out as calling all UGA fans "Rednecks".

Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The same complaints were made by the opposition when Johnson was at Georgia Southern. They are taught to go low and cut block. That's how the offense works and it's legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
