But Vidor is actually happy with their record… they just want another character guy who also coaches. But I think the world of Coach Dubois. He is an outstanding man and I can’t say enough about what all he did for my boys. If Vidor had qbs who could throw it around a little, Dubois would do so, I’m pretty sure. He never minded mixing passes in at BC. A more diverse slot t would probably work pretty well in Vidor’s current district if there was decent production through the air… I like the hire, but probably because I like the guy personally. Does anybody from Vidor have an accurate comparison between Dubois and Mathews, or is it pretty much a carbon copy? piratevillain 1 Quote

I don’t think there is any requirement to post in other places. Although that is usually a good idea. Quote

Mr. Thornton Melon Posted February 18, 2023 Report Posted February 18, 2023 If the Slot-T just absolutely has to be the offense that Vidor runs then there is none better that DuBois. Yes I do wish they would have weighed all options and that they are more than capable of running a different style offense. It just gets so damn boring watching the Slot-T year after year but if it's going to have to be the offense then Dwayne is the man. Crueder or the current OC would be a disaster Quote

Spread teams run a pretty balanced attack , about a 50/50 run/pass. No comparison. If they could just do a straight drop back or some more quick passes when its open that would be nice. Dont always have the time for 3 fakes , then for the qb to turn his back to the line and run backwards then turn around to find the receiver. They are usually covered by then Quote

To stop the Slot T most defenses put 11 defenders in the box. That leaves the receivers wide open. Quote
Coach85 Posted February 19, 2023 Report Posted February 19, 2023 I had a nephew play for Liberty Hill. I watched games where they didn’t even mention throwing the ball. Liberty Hill is one of the top three teams in the state if not the top successful teams that run the slot T. I would say 2%! of the time they pass is about right for them. It may be even a little high. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
