Seahawks used play from Auburn's Gus Malzahn

[Destroydacre]

Well Seattle has 1 lineman 4 yards downfield for sure.

True, but I read somewhere a little while back that they generally don't throw the flag if the lineman are engaged with a defender, which everyone downfield for Seattle was.

Beats me. It seems to me it would be a matter of run blocking vs pass blocking.

Pretty normal. Contrary to popular opinion, the NFL rarely innovates. Most innovation comes from High School and college. Generally, college innovation is from less talented teams that need to scheme to win

Oh Coda got in a sly troll! He has his A game rolling tonight.

Did Seattle send lineman downfield and not get caught on it?

Because that is how Auburn gets away with it to some degree. The lineman block like it's a run and push forward for the run part, but then the QB throws the ball. The defense ends up confused because all signs point to run, but then the QB doesn't.

I'm guessing that's why the lineman down field rule exists to begin with.

lol @ bammers using this thread as a backdoor to complaining about getting owned in the iron bowl last year.

get over it.

even if you had beaten us, missouri would have waxed you, just like oklahoma did.

Nobody is complaining about a game last year. It's over with and if the refs decide a game it's your fault for leaving it up to them.

We are discussing the way the play is run and how they are doing run blocking on a play where they end up passing and how lineman downfield get overlooked and how that gets defenders to bite. Which is also what happened in the Seahawks play.

Funny, I'm more worried about Auburn getting away with it this year. So I'm hoping refs start paying more attention to lineman downfield.

If you need a moral victory so bad, claim that one.

 

[4down20]

Nothing going to change it, so I don't see what the game last year matters.

Seems to me you 2 Auburn fans are just trying to deflect to keep the focus off lineman doing run blocking on a pass play and being downfield.

No linemen were blocking downfield dude. Prosch was the only one past the 3 yard mark....is that illegal? Kozan #63 was 2 and a half yards beyond the line

 

[The Crimson King]

How funny is it that it was Clinton-Dix that got beat again?

Whatever, doesn't matter. Point is I hope they keep and eye on it this year.

Nice

So, I'll be waiting for the proof of illegal blocking. Maybe Beno has it

Cool, lets avoid the discussion itself and make it all about Auburn last year.

Let me know when you get tired of waiting.

 

[The Crimson King]

Was I wrong?

yes, big time.

and you really think run blocking on a pass play is illegal? it's not. You can also pass block on a run play.........think you should start watching the game

you're the one that brought up Auburn........or no, Beno did

 

[The Crimson King]

So you think the draw should be illegal because the oline disguises the play to look like a pass????

 

[4down20]

yes, big time.

Uh no, but going down field is. Which is what run blocking is usually about since you need people to block people downfield.

I thought the topic was about Auburn and this particular play(not the instance itself).

Nice strawman. Let me know when you are done beating it up and want to get back to the topic.
