FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - Bellomy Pass Plays - Day 4
[ED: Bump]
FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - RB Pass Plays - Day 4
In the past I broke down 13 of DG's pass plays (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3). This included my reaction about how DG and the offense performed, the idea or theory behind the offensive play, and how the defense performed. This helped me get a much better feel for how DG is actually improving and allowed me to evaluate his performance considering the performance of those around him.
Today, we will take a look at how Russell Bellomy performed. Note that it is sometimes difficult to determine the routes and defense being run due to tight camera angles, but I will do my best to grasp what I think is happening. I will once again be taking a look at all of the pass plays, and separate them into 2 separate days. Today, we will take a gander at the first 5 pass plays.
Play 14 – 0:00
The defense appears to be running a cover 0 look out of a their normal over 4-3 look and a safety coming down to help against the run.
Bellomy makes the right read (a fairly easy one), as he sees the DBs drop back into their soft coverage. His footwork looks good and he looks comfortable, and I think the short throw is really a matter of arm strength more so than any fundamental problem (he could get a little more push off his back foot, but that's about it).
The design of the play and the theory behind it are going to look very familiar to readers of the previous days. The slot is running a corner route and the outside receiver a dig with the idea or running a high low on the corner. As the corner drops, Bellomy knows his play is to the dig route.
On the backside you see a post run. This is designed to do a double move on the boundary corner and get behind the man and into the deep middle of the field. This is to take advantage of teams cheating on the corner route with their safety by hitting the area of the field they vacate. You will seldom see the QB have the time/patience to go through his progression and hit this receiver, but that is the idea behind that route. The route is run well. Note that the boundary corner doesn't bite hard on the initial slant as he sees the play running away from him (a QB won't roll opposite a slant route). When the WR sees that the corner didn't bite and still is step for step with him, he breaks his post a bit more shallow to take advantage of the intermediate zone being open.
The SAM is a little late diagnosing the play. His initial responsibility is leverage and FB coverage, but he could turn and get to the boundary quicker than he does. The outcome of the play isn't affected because of a poor pass, and the play would have picked up yards regardless due to the design of the defense, but you would like to see the SAM closer to the man as he catches the ball, and preferably that corner as well, though being out on an island the primary responsibility is not to get beat deep.

FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - DG Pass Plays - Day 3
FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - DG Pass Plays - Day 3
Last time we looked at the second five pass plays from Devin Gardner and analyzed the results. Today will be much of the same. I'll also break down one defensive play.
Play 11 - 4:12
It's really hard to tell what routes the WRs are running as the camera doesn't give a good enough look. Based on the down in distance I would assume it's a verts play, either 3 or 4 verticle routes in an attempt to find an opening between the safeties downfield. In all honesty, I can't even really tell what the defense is running. You can see that the two safeties are dropping. My guess is that this is a very safe cover 4, in which case hitting any seem pass is going to be difficult. If they were facing cover 3 or cover 2 the play would work very well, as the safety would have to essentially choose a side, however, against cover 4, the WRs are basically running directly at the defenders. If every assumption I made is correct, than DG makes the correct read on the check down.
DG's footwork here looks alright. You can still see him thinking about his drop a little bit though once he gets set. It's clearly his natural tendency to escape backwards out of the pocket still (or simply to keep dropping/back peddling). He hesitates and looks a little indecisive with his footwork as he attempts to at least maintain his position (or stand in the pocket). I'd still like to see him actually step in and make his throw though. He "arm throws" it again on the check down pass. It was successful, but it's still breaking form, which leads to bad habits which leads to bad mistakes. DG looks like he does everything effortlessly (I mean that in a good way), but I think he needs to not be so lax on the shorter throws and stop trying to aim the ball and actually throw it properly.
The RB out of the backfield actually probably has an option route, either check to the outside, inside, or check back (in between gaps in the LB zones). Smith makes the correct read and Ryan does a poor job of getting a body on him. Typically, the LB in this case will essentially want to take away half the field by using his body. If the RB tries to cross the LB, the LB needs to stop the RBs body. If the LB is in the correct position, the RB will have no choice but to break this outside, where the LB's body is facing and the LB can make a play. Ryan wiffs and thus the RB picks up decent yards. There is some confusion in the zone drops by the LBs as it appears Ryan and the MLB drop to the same point, rather than bracketing anyone coming out of the backfield/crossing the field.
A couple other things I'd like to point out: notice the nickel back over the slot toward the top of the screen. He is lined up inside of his receiver to stop any quick slants to break into the next level. He then forces the WR off of his path (though not exactly well) to disrupt the timing of the play and appears to let him through to the deep safety. He is covering the short zone to the field side, but is dropping deep because of down and distance.
Play 12 - 4:33
Michigan in a pro set I and the defense in their typical 4-3 under look with a safety rolled down. DG appears to almost drop the snap as he is really trying to bail out and get a good run fake. Michigan is doing something that should look familiar, deep post to one side to take advantage of any single man coverage, and a levels concept to the short side to take advantage of any zone look. The defense actually shows a wrinkle, which I can be seen below: a corner blitz.* Note how they roll the DBs so that they are still running a cover 3/ shifted cover 2.
I believe here that the TE is open but DG can't get him the ball because of the pressure. The X receiver successfully takes the safety covering him out of the short zone. He does so by attacking the safety, which he would do regardless if the corner was blitzing or if it was a typical cover 2. He forces the safety to take him and take away the inside threat, before breaking to the corner. Will bites hard on the PA and gets out of position and the TE is athletic enough to get behind him, which is why I believe he is open toward the sideline. I believe DG was making the correct read as you see him look left when he sees the SS stay high (basically bracketing the Z receiver). But he feels the pressure and can't make his second read (the TE). I think he actually had enough time to make the read if he stays in the pocket, but it would have been an uncomfortable throw. This is because of the O-line. The LT recognizes the corner blitzing very late but gets enough of a push on the corner to drive him deep. The break down on the offensive line actually comes at LG, as he gives up too much depth which doesn't give DG a solid pocket. This forces DG to basically run and he makes some athletic plays to gain yards and use his center as a blocker.
The breakdown on defense comes from the WILL spot, as he slips when trying to contain DG. That changes this from a 3 yard play to a big gain.
*As said, Michigan is corner blitzing and turning into a quasi- cover 3 or shifted cover 2. It appears as if the FS is matched up on the X receiver, most likely to prevent any quick play like a quick WR pass so that he has the ball in space. He then follows him deep, so I think it's more of a cover 3. It could also be a shifted cover 2 which is the second picture below.
Play 13 - 4:50
Slants with a play action fake to get the LBs to clear out from the underneath zones. Very simple play. I like it from the shotgun because it moves the LBs away from the single receiver side. The tightend sells the play action by faking a run block on a power play or a QB read. It also allows DG to see the play develop. The first thing DG reads is the single high safety and single coverage on the X receiver. This means that he is going to the X receiver pretty much all day as his initial read. If the CB over the X receiver had safety help, he would look to the other side initially. At the snap, the WR does a great job getting off the LOS cleanly. He runs a great route until the end, when he starts to fade up field. It doesn't appear this is really his fault though. Clearly, there is PI on the CB on this play. But even before that it looks like he grabs the shoulder and pulls the WR into him. I guess it's a good play by the corner as it would have been a TD had he not interfered. The problem begins with the WILL over committing to the run and not maintaining his underneath zone, which is intended to stop the slant. Basically Michigan has two LBs covering one zone that no one on offense is threatening.
The backside is actually more open on this play, but DG can't know that because he is accurately going through his progression, which reads that the first man is open (which he is for a TD, good read). On the field side, the slot is more or less intended to clear out that underneath zone from the nickel back/ LBs/ safety by running an initial slant. He doesn't run a great route but it isn't too important. The outside WR then runs behind that to a news vacated area, which is also wide open. He runs it a little more flat and a little deeper to truly attack the endzone and the opening between the FS and the corners. The corner either needs to play it more inside, as the slant or in is much more dangerous than the fade route if he doesn't have safety help; or the safety can't react so much to the run fake and take himself out of position. The corners alignment tells me he thought he had safety help, but the safety's eyes tell me he was looking run support first and would help over the slot first. There is some confusion there on the defense. It appears he is playing him straight up as if he has inside help, which isn't there because of the slant from the slot.
This play looks eerily familiar to a great play in Michigan history, where Michigan attacks the 2 WR side with great success:
Offensive notes:
- Tight end will not be a position of strength this year. The run blocking is their strong area, which is meh. The route running is ugly.
- WR =/= getting separation. This was a worry last year and it gets even scarier this year. They still need to work a lot on their route running, as I think the athletes, while not great, are sufficient enough to get open. Hopefully they'll be working hard over the summer.
- The O-line is still feeling itself out. Barnum appears to be struggling with some calls, which is expected at this point. LG is a worry. At this point I actually think having a Denard type QB is beneficial for this O-line, as the tackles still struggle gaining depth and any QB that takes deeper drops is risking getting beat up a bit. They are a much stronger unit at run blocking.
- DG needs to improve his footwork. You can tell he's working at it, but it's still not second nature. When his footwork is better, it still looks a bit mechanical. Otherwise it slips and you see some poor throws. The worst is that he doesn't consistently step into throws. He has a strong arm, but needs to improve his mechanics to become more accurate. Also needs to work on getting the snap from under center (he's bailing early). This is probably a bit nerves to be honest. Very good athlete though (aka get him in at WR).
- I'll try to discuss the RB position a bit more later, but there is a wide separation between Fitz in the next guy. The depth seems decent, but Michigan needs Fitz to stay healthy this year (knock on wood).
Defensive notes:
- It appears that Kovacs has moved to more of a free safety position, which is something I haven't seen pointed out here before.
- It looks like Michigan will run more odd fronts this year to get more LBs on the field as LB appears to be a stronger position group than the D-line, particularly on passing downs
- As many have seen, even during last year, the DBs have improved and continue to improve tremendously. This was partially due to them being so young previously, but also because they are actually being coached properly. You can see them starting to naturally understand why they are doing what they are doing, not just individually but as a group. There is no understating how much better that makes the position group.
- The LBs are still struggling a bit with their zone drops. This is something almost all programs struggle with as there as so many other responsibilities they are being coached to do. Most important is run fits, which they are improving on.
Up next
I think these break downs give a pretty good idea of where Michigan is going into the fall. They still have a lot of things to work on, particularly in the pass game. The defense looks decent on pass plays, but there is still some confusion in the zones, particularly from the LBs. Again, we didn't see anything very interesting from the defense.
I still plan on doing select plays from Bellomy and some select run plays. If you have any questions or suggestions or things to add let me know.

FF 410 - 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - Day 1 (DG Pass Plays Pt. 1)
FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - DG Pass Plays - Day 2
Last time we looked at the first five pass plays from Devin Gardner and analyzed the results. Today will be much of the same, but hopefully there will be some more ideas that can be shared.
Here is some further reading on passing concepts that may help some of you out that want to further inhance that portion of your football knowledge. Levels. Triangles.
Play 6 – Time 2:15
Pre-snap, DG can see single high coverage. The front is also an over concept, rather than Michigan's typical under look. The QBs appear to be taught to take even step drops in some cases in shotgun formations (note his left foot drops first, rather than his right foot, meaning he has to take 4 steps rather than 3 or 5). I've seen this before, and while I prefer to keep the QBs footwork consistent, especially at lower levels, it's probably something that should be expected for a college QB. I would prefer a shorter first step and elongated second step and then gather, only because it keeps the shoulder rotation better, but it DG appears to be doing what he is taught, so that's fine. What this 4 step drop does is allow more depth in the QB drop but protects the OTs in pass pro (whereas a full five step drop would force the OT to cover more depth to form the pocket). DG is going to see a single high look right away, so he knows it isn't cover 2. It turns out to be a man concept. He knows if he gets a heavy blitz he has his x receiver on a simple fade route (could also be run as a back shoulder fade). The goal of the TE is pretty much to clear out the zone for any zone coverage or pick the nickel in man coverage. He actually does a pretty good job releasing and getting up field, taking the strong safety out of the picture. The TE also picks the nickel back. Unfortunately, the LBs are spying and/or zone dropping. This covers DGs first read and he quickly takes off.
In order to see the full development of the play, he shouldn't have taken off so quickly. He had one more read in the progression, as now the W receiver has cleared another zone where he vacated. This leaves an opening for the Z receiver, and he had him open. I'm guessing DG was told in situations like this that if he could pick up the first with his feet then do so (3rd and 3ish). The Z receiver doesn't get great separation and it would have been a relatively difficult completion because of that.
DG does do a good job stepping up into the pocket to scramble. If he tries to reach the edge it gives the defenders time to flow. It makes the threat of the pass less likely, particularly with the routes they are running. If DG scrambles outside left, he needs to square his shoulders and hit receiver behind him with the defenders collapsing on the receivers. If he scrambles right, the receivers are running routs in the opposite direction and there is no real threat to pass. By stepping up, he forces the defenders to play him honest. The receivers take their defenders toward the center of the field, DG gets to the second level, and then escapes outside and has a huge running lane. The defenses single high man concept takes them out of position for a QB scramble which is why DG picked up so many yards.
Play 7 – 2:27
Almost the exact same concept, but now toward the outside. The defense is back to their normal ways, running a 4-3 under with a single high look. Tough to run against this look. On the snap the corners quickly fall off, and it is clear that it is cover 3 and Michigan has a great play call on. If blitz comes from the far side (the boundary side), then they have a quick slant built in for a hot route. The defense doesn't blitz from that side, and instead a WILL drops into fill that hook, curl, hot area of the field. The SAM blitzes, but that's ok, they have RB help on that side for protection. As far as DG's reads, once he sees cover 3 he knows he's going left. The outsize Z receiver is tasked with taking his man deep. He may also take the safety support, but most likely the safety will stay toward the single receiver side (as that's typically the bigger threat). There are multiple ways to read the defensive coverage from here, but my feeling is that DG's first read is the SS. If the SS breaks outside with the W receiver, he looks inside to the TE, where the W receiver has left a large vacant gap in the defense. If the SS doesn't break outside, DG reads the corner, and there is a simple high/low concept.
The SS breaks. Even though the SS doesn't break well and the W receiver looks open, I don't think DG has the arm to make that out to the far sideline (most QBs outside Henne and Navarre don't), so that's probably the reason he is playing so far inside. All is pretty much lost though, as the TE runs an awful route. The TE never threatens inside, he doesn't get into the body of the MIKE, and he takes forever to get out of his break. The MIKE never actually even has to leave his shuffle to successfully blanket the TE (see the view from the endzone after). DG actually places the ball fairly well, and the TE does a decent job with his body, but in the end the MIKE is right on top of him and the TE can't get any separation. Michigan is going to struggle at TE this year.
Play 8 – Time 2:49
Very simple play, but a good play with easy reads. Michigan goes to the I-form and the defense sticks with their 4-3 under. The FS creeps down to support the run. One thing that is lost in the shotgun/I-form debate is the reaction that the defenders have to the play action. While it is true due to Michigan's very good running out of the shotgun, particularly at QB, that defenses tend to react more to the run threat out of shotgun, the flow of the defense tends to be different. In shotgun, the flow is more laterally. You are manipulating the defense from sideline to sideline (pretty much the basis of the spread run offense). Against I-form, you are threatening more downhill, essentially forcing the flow of the defense to change their depth. While it is obvious (QB OHNO!) that both depth and flow are effected using play action out of both sets, it is clear how much depth is affected on this play.
Because the FS is rolled down into the box, DG knows it is going to be a single high look most likely. This means cover 3 or cover 1. Once DG sees the FS in the box, he knows he has the X receiver open on the post, because the FS will have vacated any coverage help underneath due to the run threat. To the near side, you see the cover 2 beater. You see the TE running a delay and release. This is essentially another high/low concept. The TE is inviting the SAM to blitz in hopes that when he sees his cover man he attacks the QB. This also provides a little bit of extra time on DG's back side so that if the SAM is straight up blitzing, he has time. The TE then releases into the flat. The corner, seeing that no one is immediately going under, is gaining depth on the Z receiver's corner route. The Z receiver is hoping that, due to his initial inside release, that the corner will release him to the safety, where the Z receiver can then break back outside behind the corner and out of reach of the safety.
So now you basically have a high/low on the corner, as it is very difficult for the SAM to get back on the TE.
A few things of note though. DG is clearly excited to get the ball out because he knows he has an open man for big yards. He does a good job of getting his head around after the play action, but his excitement leads to bad footwork again. He throws a bit off his back foot and doesn't follow through all the way. This leads to the ball going high and behind the receiver. DG needs to step into that throw and hit the receiver in stride for much more yards.
On the defensive side, whoa they committed to the run. A bit of an exaggerated reaction. The linebackers and FS need to read the O-line coming up high better. The O-line didn't do terrible selling the run (they stayed fairly low and didn't get a huge drop), but the defensive side needs to do better. Watch out for in the game though. It isn't out of the realm of possibility for the defense to give this pre-snap look and have the FS drop into a cover 2 look, it isn't that difficult of a roll. This is how interceptions happen; the QB relies too heavily on pre-snap reads. The defense played very vanilla all day.
Play 9 – 3:25
Screen play all the way. This was discussed during the game so I'm not going to go into great depth here. But the O-line cannot allow the defense to get a free run at the QB. You need to at least give him enough time to gain depth so that he has a gap in the defensive levels to drop the screen into. Defense did a good job reading the screen, as they had defenders there, but the Michigan running back did an awful job selling it.
More on screen plays here.
Play 10 – 3:34
*Ignore the red square here, it's meaningless.
The Michigan defense is going to be tough to beat on this play. They have 12 men on the field. Looks like they are supposed to be playing straight man with the SS helping on the X receiver, but with 12 people on the field it's tough to tell exactly what's going on. DG is confused by this 12 man look, which, ok, but is clearly staring down his X-receiver, who is trying to get into the SS's body and then break outside toward the corner for a TD. The fact that DG stared him down this man isn't that big of a deal. I think he initially saw all the bodies on the right side and assumed they were completely covered and that the nearside option would be his best bet.
Anyway, what this play is supposed to do. The X receiver really beats any tight press coverage. The goal is to get the corners back to the ball so that the receiver jump ball-esk play in the corner. On the far side, you see another high/low concept to defeat cover 2. The Y receiver is tasked with holding the safety in the middle of the field. Notice that the Y receiver is attempting to get beyond his man before making the post cut. This is because he doesn't see over the top coverage, he is trying to get the man covering him to have to turn his back, essentially making it easier to get the ball to him. The big bust on the offense, regardless of the 12 men from the defense, is the Z receiver, who runs a very unconvincing route. He releases too quickly and doesn't force the man covering him to break hard and to the inside, thus allowing for the free release toward the sideline where you hope the W receiver can block off his man and the Z can make his way into the end zone. The Z needs to really sell the hitch route to get that free opening.
As for DG, his footwork seems fine. He does a great job stepping into the pocket to escape outside again, avoiding the rush. The biggest worry here is his eyes. He appears to do only a passing glance to the right side of the field and seems pretty intent on throwing to the left. The 12 man defense probably had a lot to do with that, but it's something else to keep an eye on.
So we see a lot of similarities in the pass plays. Fairly simple concepts, lots of high/low concepts, and fairly easy reads. It seems on a few plays the DG's decision making was good, even on the scrabbles. His footwork remains the big issue, and continuing to grow through progressions. He appears to be able to, for the most part, determine the coverage type and pick one or two reads off of that. Michigan is spending a lot of bodies in protection and doing a lot of play action. Relying so heavy on play action could be construed as a little worrisome for the O-line and the receivers ability to get separation, or it could be interpreted that Michigan has a good run game and you should set up the pass with the run. I think it's a bit of both, but I think Michigan wants to be a heavy play action team, so I'm not surprised by this.
As far as defense, very vanilla, but no big busts in coverage, which is always good to see in spring.
If you have any questions or comments for me, please let me know. If you think formatting should be different I'd be glad to hear. I would like to embed the video at the exact point for each play but I can't seem to figure out how to do that, so I'll stick with this method for now. Anyway, at least one more of these coming to finish off the DG pass plays. I will probably do another one after that sometime on select run plays that I've seen, and maybe one that focuses on Bellomy some and how he is progressing.

FF410: 2012 Spring Game Breakdown - DG Pass Plays - Day 1
There are several goals to this diary. First, it will analyze Devin Gardner, but I hope it will do more than that. I will also hope to dissect the intentions of the offensive play pass plays, including the reads, the reasoning behind the routes, and how the other players are performing. There will also be some discussion about the defense, as is necessary to understand what the offense is supposed to do.
This is by no means meant to replace a UFR. I will not look at individual players so much as assignments based on positions. There will be no +1/-1 or anything of that nature. It is purely to analyze what I'm seeing on film. While I do believe what I am "coaching" here, it is important to have a small grain of salt. I am by no means a coach at Michigan. I do not breakdown film for Michigan or have any connection with their football program, so I don't know exactly what the coaches are coaching. What I do know is what I'm seeing on film, and what I believe that means. Other coaches on here may have other opinions, and that happens often in football. I may not be seeing something properly (though I hope not), it does happen, especially when only one person is looking at the film alone.
Anyway, today we will look at the first 5 pass plays from DG. I will definitely get to all the DG pass plays, and I won't promise more beyond that (though I would like to dissect at least all the pass plays, but we'll see).
Here is the film that I am basing this on, with the time stamps the time when the play begins.
Pass Play 1 – Time 0:00
Can't really tell much from this play based on the quick pressure. The play action should probably be better, but that comes with a lot of practice. This play should look fairly familiar to Michigan fans during the Carr era, it is very similar to what Michigan used to attempt to get big chunks with.
The read is going to be the free safety. It is clear even from the pre-snap motion and alignment of the defense that it will be cover 1 or cover 3. The goal is to get him flowing towards the action. The post needs to get behind, which will essentially be behind the coverage as the SS will be expecting deep help. If this isn't open, the second option is the sideline go route, if he beats his man then DG would go there. The third route, or the hot route, is the TE coming across. He's pretty blanketed though as the PA wasn't very convincing.
Pass Play 2 – Time 0:08
Defense is in fairly basic cover 2 and this should be an easy read for DG. The goal on the left side (near side) is to do a High/Low on the field corner, because it is believed that the SAM won't be able to cover the entire flat. On the right side (far side) you have a hot route in case of a quick blitz. Blitz would typically mean the corner doesn't have deep help and is forced to play more off and tentative. This is why the dig route is set there.
DG's footwork is pretty good here. It's a 3 step drop and he gains depth with his first step. His next two steps are shorter and more compact to gather his body. His shoulder look good and his eyes are down field. He steps into the pocket, but seems to relax and doesn't use his legs in his throw (even though he steps into it a little). This is why it looks like he is just playing catch in the back yard. The ball goes where his shoulders are pointing, and thus the result. Let's break it down a bit further.
DG's first read will be the safeties to read the coverage type. First, Gallon is wide open above. DG doesn't even give the X receiver a chance, but this is probably the correct read as he isn't getting pressured. Second, he has the Y receiver. The problem is the placement of the ball with the position of the corner due to the coverage 2. The corner is going to undercut routes, he isn't worried about the receiver beating him deep and to the middle because he has help there, so he is breaking heavily on everything and won't let anything short and to the inside. One or two things went wrong on this play. DG needs to put the ball towards the outside and up. It needs to take the receiver deep and to the corner. The second problem may have been the Z receivers fault, though I don't think so. I don't think he has an option route here, one in which to read the defense and take the corner route. Either way, DG needs to put the ball toward the outside and deep due to the cover 2 and the corners position. The offensive line and TE need to work on selling run a little more (they come up high a little too quickly in my opinion) and the TE needs to work on his route, as he is fairly unconvincing in his fake pass block, doesn't threaten the inside at all, doesn't press into the SAM, and so the SAM covers him relatively well.
Pass Play 3 – 1:12
The premise appears to be a similar premise as the last play (high/low the corner). This time the defense is in cover 4 (you can tell by the quick bale by the corners and the SS attacking the PA). This time you have a drag route coming across with the idea that the slot will be able to beat the LB covering him, especially with the assistance of the PA flow. The problem is that the PA is extremely unconvincing from the O-line, meaning the drag route is essentially bracketed. This is the primary option and it's now gone. The biggest problem comes from the TE though. He needs to hook the end. He needs to let DG threaten the edge so that the drag route can't be double covered. Due to the defense, the route from the other receivers are going to be fairly easily covered. DG does a nice job side stepping the pressure and stepping up, but then his footwork goes to hell. He doesn't step into his throw, his shoulders aren't faced the correct direction, and he throws with only his arm. Otherwise they still may have been able to pull something out from this play.
In the end though, once the PA doesn't work and once the TE doesn't hook his man, this is a tough play for DG to make, even with correct footwork.
Pass Play 4 – 1:21
Michigan is in a 3-4 here. That's right, a 3-4. The blitz just completely overloads the right side of the O-line and the O-line does not adjust well at all. I understand a new center and all, but this is getting ridiculous with these types of blitzes. Michigan has been getting killed on inside stunts going back to the MSU game. Once a team gets penetration up the middle they are a decent contain man away from a huge loss with very little chance of the play ending in anything other than a sack (the QB can't step up and can't get out of the pocket to throw it away, it's almost a sure blitz). If this blitz is actually communicated and picked up it's relatively easy pickings. This needs to get figured out please! (/rant).
Anyway, behind the blitz appears to be a man cover 1. This was intended to be some sort of slant and go combination. We will disregard the complete confusion by the O-line and the heavy pressure so we can actually look at the play, though it's hard to see what's really going on.
The goal of this play is to match up the quicker and faster slot on a slower LB or safety and beat him deep. The slot runs a pour route and convinces no one he is running the slant. Because of this the first read is that FS. If he bites, the next thing to look at is the right side corner, who will now be showing either man or cover 3. If man, he will be up on the X receiver, and the SLUGO (slant and go) will be open behind the FS. If the corner is dropping off, it is cover 3, and the X receiver running the hitch will be open. Essentially another high/low concept.
Pass Play 5 – 1:34
One of the most common plays in the game today, and one of the most successful and difficult to defend. This play has picks (or as offensive coaches like to say "rubs") all over the place. The goal is actually to get Gallon open. The defense again appears to be in a 3-3-5, and this time drops into a cover 3 look. Everyone save the FS is up towards the line, meaning there is a good chance you are getting a zone blitz. The offensive line actually picks it up pretty well, though the tackle needs to take the DE deeper.
Again, let's look at DG's footwork, because it's pretty bad again. His drop is sloppy. It looks like it is supposed to be a 5 step drop, and he does a decent job gaining depth, but the outside pressure doesn't allow him to finish his drop properly. When he steps up his shoulders are fine, but then he again only throws with his arm and almost shot puts it out there. He actually looks like he puts the ball where he wants it, and that's another problem we will discuss in a bit.
DG is locked in on his primary receiver (the W here) and misses a wide open Y TE. The reason the Y is open is because the Free is probably bracketing the X receiver. The near-side corner is making sure nothing gets outside of him.
The Z receiver is attempting to take bodies with him while the W receiver delays and reads the defense. Finally, the W receiver goes and rubs off of the Z receiver. If this is man, the linebacker, nickel, or safety attempting to cover the W receiver will be picked and the W receiver will get big, big yards as he drags across the field. It's not man coverage though, but this play is still set up to work. The W receiver drags across the field and has two options based on what he sees. He can see that the near-side corner hasn't gone with the TE, and thus is still playing outside and shallow or he can see that the near-side corner has gone with the TE and the flat is wide open. The W receiver reads correctly that the corner has maintained the outside coverage, and settles in the zone. DG doesn't make this read and tries to lead him into a big hit.
The progression is to read the FS to see the coverage type (cover 3), then the Nickel. Regardless the coverage, reading the Nickel will tell DG where to put the football, as the Nickel is essentially being forced to play inside or outside and gives away who the open man will be. In fact, even if it's man, if DG reads the Nickel following, he will know his W receiver is going to be open on the drag.
This was probably DGs worst play that I've broken down so far. He had good protection, two open targets, and relatively easy reads and failed to make them.
By the way, checking to a veer play could potentially go for big yards here.
So the coverages from the defense have been fairly straight forward so far. The 3-4 front was a nice touch, but we aren't really seeing much from the defense that we haven't before. You can already see common themes in Borges offense. He is going to put a defender in a lose/lose situation, and if the defense plays it correctly the QB is usually going to be hitting short and intermediate routes.
The key is, and the reason defenses allow this sort of thing, is because the QB still needs to make the play. He still needs to make the right read and right throw all while being pressures on the fifth play dissected here. That is no easy task. And then even when they make the play it's probably a 5 yard gain and as a defense you've forced them into a third down and have a chance to get off the field. I didn't go into many defensive concepts (Mattison has left them fairly basic at this point), but hopefully you can read into what the goals are for them by this breakdown. If not, then understand that Mattison has a few basic ideas: be gap sound, don't allow big plays, and put pressure on the QB. This often leads to relatively open short and intermediate routes, but again, forces the QB to make the reads under distress.
DG had a rough start to the day, he struggled to make reads, he struggled with footwork, and he struggled with PA, but it isn't all on him. The O-line didn't sell PA well. The TEs have a lot of work to do (this will probably become a common theme). I have actually rarely been disappointed in the receivers at this point. While the separation hasn't been great (particularly on the interception), but they did a sufficient job for what they were tasked to do.
I will continue to break down the next group of plays when I have time, for now, read, dissect, and enjoy.

Carnival Fascination Cruise Review by jaxcruiser1961: Fascination a little better, but not by much

Fascination a little better, but not by much
Arrived at the cruise port at 11:30 and went through VIP entrance. Regular entrance was long and slow. We got up to the check in desk quickly, waited for 10 minutes to get our pic taken, then on the ship. From drop off to Lido deck about 40 minutes.
Nothing to write home about. Still needs some help. The chocolate buffet is a joke...a very BAD joke!
Overall pretty good, but some waiters were tired and very slow to bring juice in the A.M.
Do NOT get cabin R172. Creeking sound. Called front desk and they sent someone down, but bad creeking during the cruise.
Jen the Cruise Director:
Lots of energy, but not very feminine. Rough around the edges. Again, if cruise directors would watch HAL's Jason Venner in action, he is the best on the high seas.
Again, same old. Why don't the cruise lines realize that frequent cruisers (like myself) get More
tired of the same old shows for 5 years straight. Come on!
Lots of smoke.
Nassau same old and Half Moon Cay was ok.
An okay cruise for the price, especially for those of us in Northeast Florida, but don't expect much.

Obama says beheading videos won't intimidate US
Wednesday - 9/3/2014, 8:06pm EDT
AP White House Correspondent
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the United States will not be intimidated by Islamic State militants after the beheading of a second American journalist and will build a coalition to "degrade and destroy" the group.
Obama still did not give a timeline for deciding on a strategy to go after the extremist group's operations in Syria. "It's going to take time for us to be able to roll them back," the president said at a news conference during a visit to Europe.
The president's comments came after he said the United States had verified the authenticity of a video released Tuesday showing the beheading of freelance reporter Steven Sotloff, two weeks after journalist James Foley was similarly killed.
Obama vowed the U.S. would not forget the "terrible crime against these two fine young men."
"We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists," Obama said. "And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and that justice will be served."
During an appearance in Maine, Vice President Joe Biden said the U.S. would follow the militants to "the gates of hell."
"As a nation, we're united. And when people harm Americans, we don't retreat, we don't' forget," Biden said. "We take care of those who're grieving and when that's finished they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Because hell is where they'll reside."
Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that "barbarity, sadly, isn't new to our world. Neither is evil."
Obama also sought to clean up the damage from his statement last week that "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with the Islamic State group in Syria. Republicans quickly seized on the remark to argue the president lacks a coherent approach to fighting the extremist group.
"It is very important from my perspective that when we send our pilots in to do a job, that we know that this is a mission that's going to work, that we're very clear on what our objectives are, what our targets are," Obama said. "We've made the case to Congress and we've made the case to the American people, and we've got allies behind us so that it's not just a one-off, but it's something that over time is going to be effective."
In the Sotloff video, a masked militant warns Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State group continue, "our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people."
Obama responded that the airstrikes have been effective in blunting the militant threat and he will continue to battle the "barbaric and ultimately empty vision" that the Islamic State represents. He said he will consult with NATO allies at a summit in Wales Thursday and Friday on a strategy to combat the Islamic State and other militant networks that arise.
"Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so that it's no longer a threat -- not just to Iraq, but also the region and to the United States," he said, using an acronym for the militant group.
Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, appearing alongside Obama, expressed solidarity in the fight. "We see ISIS as a serious threat to all of us, and stand together with the United States and our allies on this issue," Ilves said, using an alternative name for the group.
Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, vanished a year ago in Syria and was not seen again until he appeared in the video that showed Foley's beheading. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the Islamic State.
In the video distributed Tuesday and titled "A Second Message to America," Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is apparently beheaded by a fighter with the Islamic State, the extremist group that has conquered wide swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq and declared itself a caliphate.
British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond told the BBC Wednesday that the masked, British-accented jihadist appears to be the same person shown in the Foley footage. In the video, the organization threatens to kill another hostage, this one identified as a British citizen.

On Tuesday at 3.30am GMT, the second Amazon EC2 outage in as many days saw its customers once again asking questions of Amazon's cloud platform. Fortunately for the many products that rely on the service, the incident was quickly resolved.
Amazon's US-EAST-1 region experienced connectivity issues according to its status page and big name startups including Rapportive, Reddit, Foursquare, Hootsuite and Heroku were temporarily unavailable.
This wasn't the first time an EC2 outage has left some of the web's most popular startups grinding to a halt. Earlier this year, an outage that lasted almost 48 hours raised many questions about the the reliability of Amazon's cloud services and was without question one of the the worst outages in cloud computing's history.
Last weekend, Amazon's EC2 cloud service in Europe was unavailable as a result of a lightning storm in Dublin, Ireland. It took just over 12 hours for the service to be completely restored.
Outages are thankfully rare but in cases such as April's, they're an all too painful reminder of how important investment in preventative measures in this space is to the development of the cloud and consumer technology industry as a whole.

Breaking Local News
State Police Investigate Whether its Self Defense or Homicide
State police are investigating a Logan County shooting after a 35-year old man was found dead Sunday. Officers were called to a home on WV Route 10 were they found George Michael Bowens dead from a gunshot wound. The initial investigation points to a domestic issue between Bowens and his girlfriend or ex-girlfriend, Venus Parton. Parton reportedly admits to shooting Bowens and claims self defense. State police are investigating to see if it was self defense after a home invasion, or homicide.
Second Buckwild Cast Member Arrested
Last week, Buckwild cast member Salwa Amin was arrested on drug charges, and now a second cast member of the MTV reality series is in trouble with the law. Michael Burford, known as Blufoot on the show, was arrested on Thursday on a charge of aggravated driving under the influence. Burford tweeted on Saturday he takes full responsibility for his actions, and should have called for a designated driver.
Vigil Planned for Murder Victim
A candlelight vigil will be held this week in Charleston for a man police say was killed out of revenge. Michael Cassell was fatally shot inside his home on Red Oak Street on Charleston's West Side February 10th, and Patrick Price committed suicide soon after shooting Cassell, who had apparently contacted Child Protective Services about allegations of sexual abuse of a young girl. The vigil for Cassell will be held at 7pm tonight on Red Oak Street.
Michels Pipeline Construction Fined
A pipeline construction company that West Virginia regulators say polluted a stream has to pay a fine. Wisconsin-based Michels Pipeline Construction has to pay a $3,800 fine and stop storing mud from gas drilling operations at its site near Lumberton. The Department of Environmental Protection last fall, found the company put drilling mud into an unlined waste pit, and that improper disposal allowed the slurry to run offsite and impact a tributary of Stewart Run. Michels promptly cleaned it up. The DEP is taking comments until March 15 on the consent order.
Arrest Made in Rand Shooting
Schools will be open again today after Thursday's deadly shooting in Rand shut them down. Initially nine elementary schools, three middle schools, and Riverside High School were on a two hour delay initially, and then closed for a time. A shooting was reported around 4:30am Thursday in the 5300 block of Emory Avenue, and 19-year old Harold "Don Don" Taylor was found dead in his car. Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and saw a car pull up to the victim's car twice to fire shots. Kanawha County Deputies later arrested 29-year old Tremale Straughter.
Captiol Roasters to be Replaced by New Brew Pub
Only two weeks left, and then a Quarrier Street business will leave and a new one will take its place. Ann Saville's new Quarrier Street brew pub will expand into that corner space occupied by Capitol Roasters for the past ten years. The Charleston Gazette reports Capitol Roasters will close at the end of the month, and closed its kiosk at Capitol Market after its lease expired. At a meeting this week with Charleston Urban Renewal Authority board members, the two owners discussed the lease agreement. The Urban Renewal Authority is the landlord, and approved the idea of Capitol Roasters assigning the remainder of its lease to the new brew pub, which will expand to double its size. The new brew pub will be open in about six weeks.
School Summit Planned in Charleston
A sustainable schools summit is being planned in Charleston. The free event is scheduled for April 28 and 29 at the Ramada Inn. It is aimed at encouraging educators, administrators and others to increase earth-friendly initiatives that help save water and energy, and reduce waste. The summit is sponsored by the state Department of Environmental Protection and ZMM Architects and Engineers. The registration deadline is April 1.
Man Arrested for Home Confinement Violation
A man that was supposed to stay home didn't stay home. The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office says 20-year old Robert Wayne Cole faces a home confinement violation and will be charged with escaping from an alternative sentencing program. Cole was arrested Wednesday after he violated his court-ordered home confinement by leaving his home in South Charleston and didn't return. Deputies acted on a tip, and found Cole in Slack's Trailer Park near Big Chimney hiding beneath a stack of dirty clothes. Cole was on the home confinement program after violating his probation on multiple counts of breaking and entering, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. He was serving two consecutive 1 to 10-year sentences.
Putnam County Thieves Wanted
Putnam County sheriff deputies are asking for help finding two men suspected of stealing several credit cards. The men are accused of breaking into a car in Winfield's Rolling Acres subdivision and stealing several credit cards, and using them to buy items across the border in Kentucky. Surveillance video captured an image of the two men at the Pilot station in Nitro, and welcome any tips.
New State Superintendent Asks Lawmakers for Help This Session
West Virginia's new state schools superintendent wants the Legislature to take it easy on teachers and administrators during its upcoming session. Superintendent Jim Phares on Tuesday said it's clear that students lag behind peers in other parts of the country in some academic categories. Phares also reminded the House-Senate interim Education Committee that the state school board has largely embraced the recent audit critical of the current education system. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin plans to push several audit recommendations during the session, which starts today. Phares says teachers and principals are vital to improving student performance and should be supported.

Here's how RW members rated this race (15 votes).
In short: Nice HillsIn full: Especially the hill between 6 and 7 miles Date of review: June 3, 2013
In short: For every uphill there is a downhill !In full: Enjoyed it but it was very tough due to the hills. After about 8 miles I abandoned chasing a time in favour of just getting round without stopping. Virtually no flat sections but was interesting to see the tactics employed by others on the hills. Learnt from the club runners today.Date of review: May 5, 2013
In short: Not for the faint hearted....In full: Very warm day for this run which did not do me any favours the hill between 6 and 7 mile did me after that it was an amble more than a run.Lots of local support along the route and vocal marshals lovely scenery four water stations and nice big downhill finish on to the racecourse.Date of review: May 5, 2013

Good Intentions, Bad Fruit
Why Courtship Fails: A Male's Perspective
by The GraduateAs a young man in my early twenties who grew up in conservative homeschool circles, I was excited to return home after spending four years in a Christian college. I had very little experience in dating and hadn't been in a relationship in college, but I had a good degree and a solid career lined up in front of me. My parents were excited too, because they hoped that I would be able to easily find a bride among the many single homeschool girls my family knew. I was a willing participant to their plans, but I soon found out that even with the right credentials, it was still impossible for me to come against homeschool patriarchy and perfectionism.According to Bill G … [Read more...]
The 14 Basic Needs of Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar
by Hopewell Recently on "19 Kids and Counting," Michelle Duggar was seen giving women a handout on the "7 Basic Needs of a Husband," a document produced and distributed by the Advanced Training Institute –the Duggar's "homeschool group." She also gave out the group's "Character Qualities" chart, which I discussed in an earlier post, The 49 Character Qualities of the Duggars.The 14 Basic Needs of Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar: How they meet each other's 7 Basic Needs:7 Basic Needs of a Husband:A man needs a wife who is loyal and supportive: Obviously, Jim-Bob picked the right wife! Michelle has been there with him, supportive to the max, thru years of small businesses, … [Read more...]
How the Doctrine of Hell Justifies Quiverfull Authoritarian Parenting
by Libby AnneFrom my experience, I would argue that hell is the worst Christian doctrine of all. I'm not even going to get into how there is no justice in punishing finite transgressions with eternal torture, or into all the other problems with the theological ins and outs of hell. Instead, I'm referring to the practical implications of the doctrine.I am a mother. I look at my beautiful young daughter, so full of life and joy and excitement and curiosity, and I feel my love for her bubbling up in my heart. If I believed that there were any possibility that this sweet little thing could end up tortured in a lake of fire for eternity, I would leave no stone unturned in d … [Read more...]
Carefully Scripted Lives – The Real Reality of the Duggar Family "Blessings"
by Libby Anne I can't say how often I've heard ordinary Americans defend Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their popular TLC television show, 19 Kids and Counting. "I wouldn't choose to have nineteen kids," they say, "but if they can manage it, who am I to question their choice?" "The kids look happy and healthy," they say, "look how polite and well mannered they are." I hear these comments and I just have to sigh.First of all, I want to point out that I would have concerns about the Duggars even if they were your ordinary family plus seventeen extra children. For one thing, there is no way any two parents can give nineteen children the individual attention and time they need. It's just no … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: Admissions
by Sierra"When I was your age, my parents wouldn't send me to college," my mother was telling me. "I had to work my way through on my own. I don't want you to have to stop. I will do everything I can to help you keep going to school. Your education is the most important thing to me."We stood in the kitchen, a printed letter lying on the counter between us. It was not good news.I glanced up at my mother with a strained smile. I knew that if wishes could be cashed at the bank, I'd be writing my admissions essay to an ivy-coated castle. Instead, I was trying to find a way to pay the bill from my last semester of community college in time to register for fall classes. It was already A … [Read more...]
The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part 3: Pop Guns & Purity Rings
by Starfury Growing up, I read books like The King's Daughter, Dear Princess, Beautiful Girlhood, Waiting for Her Isaac, and The Courtship of Sarah MacLean over and over. I would plan out having twenty six children, so I could use every letter of the alphabet when I named them. I would try to devise my own homeschool curriculum based on the ones I had used, and what I liked and didn't like about them. On top of all that, I was writing my own Proverbs 31 devotional.And yet, somewhere in all of this, I was still punching things into a "computer" on a tree, and yelling for everyone to get out and climb the Jeffries Tubes because of a warp core breach. Rather than make a hoop skirt, I made a … [Read more...]
Throwing Out the Moral GPS
by SierraGrowing up in fundamentalism was like living with a moral GPS navigator installed in my head. Every decision was mapped out already; all I needed to do was listen to the voice telling me where to go. Sometimes I could stop and look at the map. Most of the time I was looking ahead, trying to live, listening and following directions as best I could.The GPS gave me directions for living: Read the Bible and pray every day. Obey your parents. Be respectful of elders.Those directions made sense. They were there to help me get where I wanted to go: straight ahead. There were no twists and turns yet.Then the directions got a little stranger: Listen to one of Branham's … [Read more...]

Smoke & Mirrors
by VyckieLibby Anne makes an astute point in her recent post at Love, Joy, Feminism: Vision Forum focuses on problems in society, inflates them, and then blames feminism and modernity. Then Vision Forum seeks to fix the problems by turning back the clock to a time that never existed. The version of the past that Vision Forum sells is a myth. The problems we face in society today are not new. Substance abuse, the challenges of balancing motherhood and work, and the devaluation of women have always been with us. Looking back to some idealized imaginary past where families had no problems, mothers happily stayed home and devoted their time to raising their children, and women were valued … [Read more...]

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Combined Campuses and Colleges powered their way into Sunday's final of the Regional Super50 when they stunned odds-on favourites Trinidad and Tobago by 140 runs at Kensington Oval here Thursday.
ST JOHN'S, Antigua – Coach of the Leeward Islands cricket team and former West Indies player, Eldine Baptiste, responding to reports that some players have complained about unusual coaching methods he utilised during two regional tournaments, questioned the legitimacy of those reports, adding that all players knew what to expect once he assumed the leading role.
St. John's Antigua - There needs to be more meaningful input at the board and management level if the standard of play exhibited by the Leeward Islands cricket team during regional tournaments is to improve.
BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS - Windward Islands have three batsmen in the top ten of this year's Super50 competition.
But cricket lovers will want to see whether they can conquer Jamaica's two wily spinners Nikita Miller and Odean Brown in what should be an absorbing semi-final duel at Kensington Oval this evening.
Bridgetown, Barbados - As the hype builds up for the 2013 regional Super50 Final Four championship at Kensington Oval, statistics show that Trinidad & Tobago have won the most titles (11 - one shared) and Barbados have played in the most finals (17) since the inception of regional limited overs tournaments 37 years ago.

Which one? They have 2 hideouts, and one storage place in the game.
The first is on the second island down the street directly infront of the stadium entrance, but you need a Cartel Cruiser to get in.
The second is on the second islad as well and it is at the construction yard next to your hide out.
The third is a house on a mountain above your hideout. Just go out the hide out door, turn left on the street infront of you and turn left again, go up the whinedy road until you reach the top, here you take a right and follow it down until you come to a house with a guard house in the front of the driveway. It's all the way to the end of the road pretty much.

This Porsche 911 Targa is a new version of the iconic sports car that's designed to offer fresh-air motoring for those not willing to go for the full cabriolet.
The 911 Targa gets a fabric central roof section, a silver 'Targa bar' that runs across the car just behind the front passengers' heads, and a single-piece wrap-around rear screen. The roof mechanism opens up the Targa bar, slides back the rear screen, folds the fabric roof into a Z-shape and then stows it behind the seats before moving the screen back into place. The process takes around 19 seconds.
The new model comes in two versions, both four-wheel drive. The Targa 4 gets a 345bhp 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine, enough to take it from 0-62mph in 5.2sec – or 5.0sec if you choose the optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. A Sport Chrono package is available as a further option; it quickens the shifts, bringing the 0-62mph time down to 4.8sec. The car emits 223g/km of CO2 with the seven-speed manual gearbox, and 204g/km with PDK.
The more potent Targa 4S gets a 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine producing 394bhp. It can reach 62mph from rest in 4.8sec (4.6sec with PDK, and 4.4sec with PDK and Sport Chrono), and a maximum speed of 184mph. Its CO2 emissions are 237g/km with the manual gearbox, and 214g/km with the PDK.
Standard equipment on all 911 Targas includes leather interior, sports seats, automatic climate control, bi-xenon headlights, a seven-inch colour touch-screen with satellite-navigation, a DAB and an audio interface with MP3 connectivity. All Targa buyers also get a free driving course at the Porsche Experience at Silverstone.
The Targa 4S adds 20-inch alloy wheels, Porsche Active Suspension Management and Porsche Torque Vectoring, plus a limited-slip rear differential.
First deliveries of the 911 Targa are due in May, but the car is available to order now. The 911 Targa 4 costs from £86,281, while the Targa 4S starts at £96,316. Options should cost around the same as they do for the regular 911, so the PDK dual-clutch gearbox should add around £2400 to the bill.

I don't know why they gave the other line(first one to the left) a higher star value. This is the rock climb here!!! Enjoy the ride if you can't clip the last hanging draw. As of 07/10/2013 The biners looked good and the webbing on the fixed draws look ok as well. Maybe coming upon time to replace them.... |

I liked this route well enough, but the anchor placement was a reason to give it 3 instead of 4 stars here. All these routes are about the same grade, great crag! |

HelloSociety is a diverse team in many ways, but we share a genuine passion for all things Pinterest. We love what we do, and where we work - you can find us in a sunny Santa Monica office just blocks from the beach, blasting tunes and eating more M&M's than any of our mothers would approve of.
Kyla is an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan who is admittedly intolerable before her first triple latte of the morning. She tries to balance out her pack-a-day Famous Amos habit with semi-regular Pilates classes, and can be found perusing "Cute Animal" Pinterest boards well into the night.
Dennis loves fried chicken and fast food. When he's not on the road traveling, you can find him in the Southbay spending time with his family and friends and coaching any sports team for his boys. Dennis is a Princeton Tiger, a New York native, and tries to fight obesity by endless laps in the pool.
When he's not incessantly pounding out code on his keyboard, you can find Gabe sailing around the Santa Monica Bay, playing acoustic guitar or tending his vegetable garden. He's originally from Texas (Hook 'em Horns!) but has called Los Angeles home for 14 years.
An LA native, Andrew is a die-hard LA sports fan who has spent more time watching the Dodgers than he'd like to admit. He is a huge fan of dry humor, although nothing can make him laugh harder than his labradoodle Cooper. A former college golfer, Andrew also enjoys playing soccer and dabbles in stand-up comedy.
Chloe loves Skittles (but not the green ones), dive bar karaoke, dessert before dinner, and all things sparkly. She is a closet Run-DMC fan, and openly a cookie monster. You can find her sipping on an absurd amount of green tea and busting out mad dance moves around the office.
Cora moved here from a small town in upstate NY, where there are more cows than traffic lights. She is loving LA and getting to skip over winter. When she's not brainstorming for a new campaign, she can be found singing and playing her guitar, hiking the nearest trail, and feeding the stray cats that congregate outside her door.
Dan has an obsessive passion for building and creating value for the world in any way he can. When he's not at his desk working (not breaking) the Internet, he will be found in one of two places: a pretentious coffee shop or a CrossFit gym.
Derek is a California native originally from the San Francisco Bay Area who couldn't leave the Southern California weather after attending UC Irvine. You can find Derek reducing the office's collective carbon footprint either biking around Santa Monica or driving his turbo Prius.
Helen is a New Yorker by way of Ohio, France, and California. She is happiest when her twin passions: being near the ocean & shopping at Bergdorf's are within walking distance. (Even if it's a really far walk). She is an avid bookworm & absolutely loves chatting plots, storylines, & character development, (particularly within the historical fiction & sci-fi genres) with other friendly bookworms.
Hope is a West Coast girl at heart. Born in Newport Beach, Hope grew up in Portland, OR, went to college in San Francisco and has finally landed in Santa Monica. While not known for enjoying sweets, she can be found baking up a storm in her free time. Instead, she absolutely loves spicy food and puts Sriracha on everything, and we mean everything!
Born and raised in LA (no, seriously), you can find Jacki basking in the sun on the weekends and enjoying her space heater during the work week. She loves over-eating, online shopping, reality TV, & impromptu dance parties. If you really want to win her over, spark up a conversation about handbags or Jay-Z lyrics.
Originally from Michigan, Jade couldn't resist moving to Southern California after attending Arizona State. You'll likely find Jade riding her beach cruiser around Venice or attending a music festival on the weekends. When she really needs to unwind, Jade resorts to staying in bed and eating frozen gummy bears while online shopping.
Kerry has been calling West LA home for 6 years now. She grew up Irish dancing and dominated the Three Hand Reel in competitions with her sisters. As an identical triplet, she and her sisters tend to walk in unison so dancing together was never difficult. In her spare time, she can be found running along the beach in preparation for her next half marathon.
Kristen can be found singing (poorly) out loud to any song playing, canoodling with her dog, Stella, cooking and eating too much Italian food, and telling exaggerated anecdotes over drinks. She loves concerts, USC Football (Fight On!), family, anything Christmas, and has a soft spot for all things animal.
Originally from San Diego, Lisa enjoys the so cal life of beaching, yoga, dodgeball, and dancing. She is an SDSU Aztec and rocks out to the 90's boy bands and girly pop stars with a passion for Disney karaoke. Can semi-freestyle sing and rap when there's a crowd and loves bacon burgers and fried chicken.
Morgan thinks it is pretty cool she is the second triplet in the office! After living in 6 states she considers herself an LA girl who enjoys going to the farmers market and climbing the Culver City Stairs. As a vegetarian who doesn't like fruits and veggies much, you can find her eating burritos (with guac) and anything chocolate!
Noelia is fond of calling people dah-ling, owns a very well-groomed Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Brando, and is best known for wearing six-inch heels that still, sadly enough, really only brings her to shoulder height of everyone else in the office.
Ran's greatest personal struggle in life is trying not to get a pants size bigger. She brings two lunches to work and her desk always has a pile of snack wrappers, tea bags, and tupperware. Her favorite animals are giraffes and she has played almost every single Pokemon game to date.
Rebecca is an avid lover of all things BBQ. A native Bostonian, she and her husband named their dog Ortiz after beloved Red Sox player, David. When she is not training Ortiz silly pet tricks, you can find Rebecca playing basketball, finding a new Pilates gym, or trying not to fail at growing vegetables in her new garden.
Rose is still waiting for the nutritional study to come out proving that it is possible to live off sugar and chocolate alone, but she's sure it will come. She's been playing ice hockey for the last few years, and the pinnacle of her career thus far is several assists and a too many men on the ice penalty. A recent LA transplant, she's a NJ native, roots for Cornell in all relevant sports, and usually knows where her towel is.
When Sam isn't pinning hundreds of similar chocolate chip cookie recipes, she can be found DJing her weekly radio show, the Spin Cycle on KXSC, under the alter ego DJ Dirty T. Although she may be seen as the ultimate girly girl (she doesn't own a single pair of pants), she was on her middle school football team and is shamelessly cocky about her ping pong skills.
Stephen is a reformed astrophysicist and a bad golfer.
Trish recently relocated to Los Angeles from the Midwest in pursuit of her lifelong goal of appearing on Jeopardy. When she's not crunching numbers, you can find her cooking, playing amateur bartender, and learning the many cultural quirks of her adopted city.
Vicki is a native Californian and a proud USC alumna. She has an unhealthy obsession with avocados, blue nail polish and Harry Potter. When not at the office, you can usually find her at a yoga studio or a music festival.
Zoe graduated with a degree in advertising from Washington State University. Go Cougs! Her favorite foods are sushi, peanut butter, and raspberries. When she's not on Pinterest, she can be found working out or watching bad reality tv. She loves to travel, can speak a little German (wunderbar!), and has a goldfish named Hennessy.
Brando is HelloSociety's friendly, fuzzy and ever-fattening mascot who enjoys weekly trips to the doggie salon and naps around the office. He can be found gnawing on rawhides, chasing birds and snorting in his sleep.
