The offensive intention is to move the eyes of the defense players, especially the Safety and LB's, who are the spots with the most keys to read on all defenses. This assumes your o-line will give the skill players the time to exploit mistakes. Also assumes the QB will identify where to go with the ball, Williams is better at this than Perry. Perry reverted to former habits with not taking his eyes from the middle of the field. Threw mostly into double coverage even when completing the pass and missing 1 v 1 outside the hashes.
The defensive intention is the pressure the QB into mistakes as well as taking him to ground. Stated intention though only generally is to "stop the run" with gang tackling. This assumes players will beat their blocks and complete the tackle. Offenses continue to exploit the over aggressiveness of the defenders both in the run game and pass attack. On third down and long the defense goes with a 3-2-6 and blitzes from multiple angles, GT was able to run for first downs against the blitzing defense. One way to make aggressive players miss is to stop and let their momentum carry them past you, GT stuttered. spun and wiggled their way to so many missed tackles.
The intentions are not crazy, stupid, outdated or wrong. Every intention has it's weak points. The administration will be patient, convinced the close games mean better things then the scoreboard indicates. With a more competitive o-line and better QB reads the offense will play better. The defense needs to reign in the over aggression.
