Loeffler Presser

 So Coach Loeffler did his presser yesterday.  Not a ton of new stuff, but here goes....

The biggest thing that was interesting was the talk about the trick play.  Coach says that BG was "90%" going to get the right defense to run that against and that they came out in a "two-fire" which I have no idea what it is, I assume it's a two-high fire blitz, which is a zone blitz.  He says that the last time this coach called that defense was when he was at Indiana.  Anyway, Loeffler I think hit on the key point which was that was an impossible position to put a true FR in.

Also, I know there was some debate on Twitter about who is calling plays.  Loeffler said he should have "killed" the play.  From that, I am guessing that the playcaller is making the call upstairs and Loeffler can kill it or send it on.

The other thing was the offensive line.  Coach says there are not a ton of missed assignments.  The issues on the line are youth and size and strength.  That's actually not great news.  You can fix missed assignments, but you can't fix strength overnight.
