Space Coyote's Tremendous Michigan Xs and Os Content

Submitted by XM - Mt 1822 on August 13th, 2022 at 12:10 PM

Mates,

I hope Space Coyote doesn't mind me re-posting his post, but he posted a really enjoyable piece yesterday in the Message Board which predictably slid off the board somewhat quickly.  It is a Diary-worthy entry analyzing X's and O's for various aspects of last season and deserves more attention than the few hours it was on the front page.  

So with apologies to Space Coyote, to whom all praise, honor and glory are due for this piece, here is his post from yesterday, now a diary: 

Michigan Xs and Os Content

Hey guys, we're a week into fall ball now, only a few weeks out from the start of the season. So on your Friday, I thought you may be interested in getting into the film a little from last year. I haven't been terribly active over the off-season, but where I have, it's been pretty Michigan heavy. I'm finishing up a couple more Michigan pieces for next week, and then it's on to starting to understand OSU's new defense. For now:

Video Breakdown of Final 3 Michigan Games

Film Review: OSU at Michigan, 2021 - Part 1

Film Review: OSU at Michigan, 2021 - Part 2

Film Review: Michigan vs Iowa, 2021 Big Ten Conference Championship Game

Film Review: Michigan vs Georgia, CFP Semi-Final Part 1

Film Review: Michigan vs Georgia, CFP Semi-Final Part 2

 

Film Review - Specific Michigan Game Plan Plays

Counter HF vs Wisconsin

Unbalanced Counter vs NIU

Short Motion and Bluff and Go RPO vs Nebraska

 

Detailed Scheme Breakdown

Michigan Counter Scheme and Run Tags

Michigan Counter Scheme and Post-Snap Modifiers (Blocks, run reads and RPO)

 

I've looked at a few other things over the off-season, including A-Gap Power, Wisconsin run defense, North/South Combo block, Club Block Technique. Next few articles will focus heavily on technique for executing Counter.

Hope you enjoy.

Wow. A great post.

It has the added benefit of sliding "Dong Punches" closer to oblivion. That post was fine but it's tough seeing that phrase at the top of the page every day. One might even say it's "Unrelenting."

Double thanks, XM.

What did you mean by this? I didn't see anything from Space Coyote on here for a long time.

Ah, I did see that title. I just got home from work when I saw it. I only clicked on one things, the only thing I clicked on was Zach Marshall. I saw only 23 comments on the Xs and Os title, so I had the impression it might not have been worth the click. DOH!

Space Coyote does relentlessly fine work, regardless of which program he's diagnosing. I've learned a crap ton about both Sparty and Osu's schemes by hitting his site every week or so.

jon,  thank you for the compliment.  being an all-world con takes some work.  you and maybe one or two others are the only ones i'm aware of that i haven't hoodwinked here, but i'm not giving up on fooling you, too.  the real con happens when you visit the farm, meet the family, verify all the stuff i say, then it'll make your head spin and the con is complete.  untold dozens have fallen for it, some stretching back for decades.
