If there's anything the NFL's evolution is showing us, it's that offensive guys with college experience are probably better than the pro guys who believe in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust crap. College game is years ahead of the NFL right now. We have an NFL guy in Lovie to right the ship. Let's get some fresh blood with some creativity running the O.
Not sure if this out there yet:@smartfootball: Jeff Tedford's "Money" Play-action pass concept: http://t.co/5zrPYhfFmw
Dal, you like Tedford? Are you sure?(just kidding)
The video Pepsi posted is a bit misleading about Tedford because during his last few seasons at Cal he had mediocre QB talent, and altered his scheme to mask it. He ran a much more pro-style offense when Aaron Rodgers was there. These aren't going to show any run plays, because they are Rodgers highlights, but they give you some idea about the formations and route combinations he would likely run. http://draftbreakdown.com/players/aaron-rodgers/
It seems like we're going to need a TE...
The one area I think might hurt Glennon's chances the most in Tedford's offense is that while Tedford does have a lot of quick-hitting plays, he also seems to like to move the QB around a lot via bootlegs and roll outs. I am not sure how much Glennon is up to that.
Glennon appeared surprisingly mobile in 2013.

Another poster pointed this out in a different thread. Can't remember who. Detrimental or FRG, I think. But yeah, Tedford has always gotten tons of production from the RB position. People talk about the QB's he's coached, but check out the list of RB's he's coached:Michael PittmanReuben DroughnsMaurice MorrisJ.J. ArringtonMarshawn LynchJustin ForsettJahvid BestShane VereenNearly every RB this guy touched in college wound up getting drafted. That is impressive.

Excellent point sir!

And sprint-outs! Maybe Glennon can do it, we'll see.

I pointed it out in a thread as well, but not to that extent. Just Lynch, Forsett, Best and Vereen with Arrington being a 2k yard back. But yea, he has gotten extremely good things out of his RBs - Doug Martin should have a nice bounce back year under him
Maybe this can show us what sorts of route combinations to expect?? I already like the idea of numerous receivers running shorter routes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z700g-sndZ4
So you embrace the "dink and dunk" philosophy?
Cal's offense for the last two or three years Tedford was there is a misleading look into his philosophy. He did not have the offensive talent that he did earlier in his tenure there, so he did what a lot of innovative offensive coaches do when strapped with inferior talent, he schemed around it. Even still, both of his starting wideouts were drafted last season, and both made an immediate impact in the NFL.To see his real vision, it's better to look at film from 2002-2009, when he had the talent necessary to fully run his scheme.

I don't really know much about Tedford, so I'm merely asking this... not criticizing. Rodgers and Lynch are the only 2 players, that Tedford recruited, that really saw success in the NFL. What makes you think that he can judge players at the NFL level and give them the best chance to succeed. When you factor in his mediocre college track record (50-45 in the Pac-10 over 11 seasons), I think he's more of a crap shoot than anything. No?

In that case, Bridgewater, Manziel, and Bortles excel at that style. I'm just saying.
