Threet vs. Sheridan: the Zone Read
I'm not too sure what can be drawn from these plays. The sample size is rather low. Obviously Threet is more successful, but he also had more plays as well as the first plays where Miami apparently forgot that in this offense the QB sometimes runs. It could be that Threet has a more convincing fake, but that could be a reach. What do y'all think?
Talking with a friend of mine, they each had maybe 1/2 to 1 full misread, which doesn't seem terrible. Anyone with more football knowledge feel free to correct me.

Mich might have a better chance of getting into the endzone by picking off Clausen than relying on it's own Qbs! :P

paul,
not sure who this "friend of yours" is, so i may be speaking out of line. BUt it is entirely possible that the missreads are either 1. predetermined calls-alot of offenses early in the season will predetermine the give or keep, in order to keep the qb confident and the offense stable. 2. Semi-predetermined calls.. offensive coaches may be saying we want you to give unless hell breaks out, or we want you to keep it unless 5 guys are keeing you, etc. once again early season, i dont put much stock in how well the qb's are reading the play, becasue we dont know exactly what the coaches are saying to them...

Paul, good video. Very interesting.
What is a "1/2" misread?

cant help but see all that space on the sideline and whish for a quicker qb. HURRY TATE!! but that being said(not knowing much about the system) i agreed with almost every read they both made. awesome video
