Obviously, 32 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.400 women's soccer, you saw us last week. They both competed at the 33 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:15.240 same day, obviously different opponent, different state. Women's soccer gets to win 34 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.199 against NC State, which is a good one, and then obviously did a 35 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.240 draw that following against Dayton, and then obviously your next game, please come 36 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.400 out show your loving support this Sunday while they take on the Ohio State buck 37 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:39.120 Eyes. And men's soccer obviously gotta win versus Dayton and then got a big, 38 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.360 big win against those Irish. We all know how we feel about the 39 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.360 Irish, right and that is a huge win to go in South Bend and 40 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.759 take a win. So kudos to coach Damon and the squad there. You 41 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.240 had goalie Zach Kelly named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, which 42 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.879 is obviously great when you get those those milestones and accomplishments in season. Next 43 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.199 game is also Sunday, It's at Rutgers, so let's see how we do 44 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.039 and we compete against the Scarlet Knights. Opening up Big ten play Big ten. 45 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.800 That's right. The week ahead for Spartan Athletics. You talked about that, 46 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.879 but Noah Kim named Big ten Offensive Player of the Week two. I 47 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.720 know this. I'm gonna let you take this away. Why would this guy 48 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.759 not be Offensive Player of the Week the week that he had, you know, 49 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.480 going in there such showing such strong command for that offense against Richmond. 50 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:42.040 You know, fift ended with fifteen straight completions. You know that's you know, 51 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.560 to even have one completions tough, but go fifteen of them? Can 52 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.680 I get a heemn? Like when we talk about no Ki was like church 53 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.920 in here. Now, Okay, you know it's but you know, congratulations 54 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.439 to Noah, well earned, well deserved, and let's hope he continues to 55 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:08.639 ride that momentum going into Saturday's game against the Huskies.

Be sure 73 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.480 to contact Jordan and the guys over in Brighton at two four eight three four 74 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.759 seven Maine www dot Main Financial Group dot com. Jordan and those guys Main 75 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:53.480 Financial Group will take great care of you. Shoot yeah, this this week 76 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.160 is gonna be. It's the week that's coming down to breaking down the Huskies. 77 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.519 There, the eighth ranked US are coming, traveling across the country, 78 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.480 coming into Spartan Stadium with a high powered offense. Otis this defense is gonna 79 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.959 have to be ready because the Huskies ranked first in football in passing offense, 80 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.560 averaging four hundred and seventy two yards per game and six in total offense. 81 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:27.120 So they're they're a pass evy team. They're a passing team because they can't 82 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.319 really run the football. They're ranked one thirteenth out of one thirty one in 83 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.759 Russian within averaging ninety three yards. And I think one of our strengths on 84 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.639 the defense is our run to stop in the run and making them one dimensional. 85 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.600 So it's gonna be really interesting, you know for those points there, 86 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.920 you know from defensive side of the ball, you know how we we take 87 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.279 care of those. You know, Michael Pennix, he's leading this team. 88 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.319 They're eighth in the country and scoring. They're averaging forty nine and a half 89 00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.319 points a game, thirteenth in the yards per completion with you know, time 90 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.839 to throw the football. It's fifteen and a half yard just over a first 91 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.240 down every time to throw the football. But you know their their offensive line 92 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.879 sacks allowed. You know, they're also eighth in sacks allowed, only half 93 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.759 a sack of game. You know, so really tough offense and the defense 94 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.800 is definitely going to have their hands full. Yeah, And speaking on that 95 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.800 to uh, you two were at that game last year and we talked about 96 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.079 the twelfth year an you were doing something a little bit more important. Welcome 97 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.480 to another child and listen, listen listening to you all on the radio, 98 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.399 like what going hold on? Oh? I was like, honestly I was. 99 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.399 I'm glad I ain't travel there, but right you you two were, 100 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.320 you two were there and you guys talked about You can hear it on the 101 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.000 radio on the broadcast. You also can see it obviously in the game that 102 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.360 the twelfth Man, that fan base and that that arena or that stadium was 103 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.480 rocking. It was a huge advantage. And to this point, the offense 104 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.360 is coming to the woodshed in Spartan State for the first time. Right, 105 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.600 these kids have not traveled to Michigan. Some of these kids have not even 106 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.799 been, you know, step foot in the state of Michigan. This is 107 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.960 the first time and so for fans that you're listening, you're watching this show. 108 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.279 You have to show up and you have to be a force to be 109 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.799 record with to make this thing the absolute most loudest environment if possible, known 110 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.919 to men where you are. You're basically going into making this a hard environment 111 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.600 to communicate because that's if that happens, that is an advantage for our defense 112 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.039 to obviously face this, this this high power offense that's ranked in the top 113 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.679 five in all categories, top ten, fifteen, But that is an element 114 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.519 that we absolutely need. So to your point too that it's great, but 115 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.440 we absolutely need another stat is, show up and show up and be loud, 116 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.080 no question about it. You know, you look at Cameron Davis, 117 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.919 who was supposed to be their featured running back, was injured in fall camp. 118 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.960 He led the team in rushing a year ago about five hundred and twenty 119 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.159 two yards. Was supposed to be the feature back when he was injured. 120 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.080 So that's why you're seeing the rushing totals so low too. So they've become 121 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.480 very one dimensional. With Michael Pennicks and Otis, you brought up a point, 122 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.879 great point about not many of these players have been to the State of 123 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.799 Michigan Ever, Michael Pennicks junior, he definitely has been to Spartan Stadium when 124 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.279 he played for the Indiana Hoosiers Choo. Yeah, he definitely has. He 125 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.080 has. He's been to you know, Spartan City. He's won in Spartan 126 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.000 stadiums. So he's a guy that's very comfortable and familiar with Spartan Stadium. 127 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.720 So that's why, you know, as a fan base, that's why as 128 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.799 the defense, we have to make him uncomfortable. You know, that's the 129 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.559 biggest thing. You know, you don't want to get to you know, 130 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.679 comfortable and then get him back there that he has a lot of time history 131 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.240 and he's the connection when the receivers are on and so we have to get 132 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.279 him off his game. And that's gonna come from you know, disguises in 133 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.759 the defense and also in the crowd noise. You have to be that because 134 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.840 it definitely affected us last year when we went there with the crowdnise, getting 135 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.039 out of the huddle, you know, making your checks, making your changes, 136 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.320 and then look there's the play clocks running down. The lineman can't hear, 137 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.159 you know, So that's going to be a huge part of it as 138 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.759 well. So we have to get Michael Pennix Junior off his game, no 139 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.519 question about it. You talk about breaking the huddle on the road as an 140 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.240 offense, trying to communicate. Communication is key on the offensive side of the 141 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.879 ball. So that's why teams in the NFL, you see they have a 142 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.519 three point loss in there the line, the Vegas lines because of the crowd 143 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.120 noise, and in certain crowds, you know, you think about Seattle, 144 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.799 the Twelfth Man, those types of places, it's even worse because it's so 145 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.919 loud that there's no reason that Spartan Stadium, the woodshit, whatever you want 146 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.759 to call it, on Saturday, shouldn't be at an all time high. 147 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.279 You have a top ten team coming in here, Michigan State's two to zero 148 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.879 and on a roll right now, outscoring opponents seventy six to twenty one. 149 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919 On the seats, you gotta be well oiled, and then we all know 150 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.120 they're gonna be having a couple of extra you know, octanes for you in 151 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.039 Spartan Stadium so that you can amp up that volume a little more. Like 152 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.440 different we gotta have. We talked about alcohol, like the liveation, right, 153 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.600 A well oiled crowd, that's what we need all of those things because 154 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.679 it affects the game. It just does. I've been in games, uh 155 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.039 in Ford Field where it was so loud Monday Nights football. I remember some 156 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.279 years ago that was so loud. The forty nine ers, I think it 157 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.879 was a Bears had like three or four false starts in a row, you 158 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.320 know, And that's what the crowd can do to affect the outcome of the 159 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.120 game. And there's no reason Spartan should be able to do that. Guys, 160 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.759 absolutely, I mean, let's talk about roles reversed, Like we're eleventh 161 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.879 ranked. Last year, they're not ranked, and they put it on us. 162 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.799 Right now, it's reversed, ty, Like now it's our chance to 163 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.200 sit there and let's return the favorite. Because I think the guys also have 164 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.120 said that they knew that they didn't play their best and that wasn't the product 165 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.840 that we obviously put out last year. But like it's mission focus right now. 166 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.240 What is the slogan? We're prepared right? I think being prepared for 167 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.279 we already know when he comes into town, Michael Pennix comes into town, 168 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.159 he's going to make plays. He's a great player. He got the best 169 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.000 one of the best wide receiver courts in the nation going to make plays. 170 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.840 It's all about battling and controlling those big, big plays and those sudden changes, 171 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.120 and how do we make sure we respond to that versus you know, 172 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.960 running away and say, hey, that score starts to get away from us. 173 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.200 Controlling the controllable was playing our ball and I think this is going to 174 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.240 be a true testament to how our defense has stacked up as we're ranked as 175 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.639 well in those categories. It's gonna be a great, great game at five 176 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:58.279 o'clock on Saturday on Peacock or w j R or wherever you can listen to 177 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:05.799 George Block uh Hiah and then sidekicks Jason strick me. We're streaming as well. 178 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.840 We're streaming. That's right, guys. You know Caitlin Debora. You 179 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.679 know he's the offensive coordinator from Indiana that took over the head coaching job over 180 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.279 at Washington a few years ago. His record obviously two and oh coming into 181 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.720 this ballgame. When you see a coaching change happen like it did at Michigan 182 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.159 State, I would assume there's gonna be some pressure on the Washington sideline as 183 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.720 well. Wondering what new wrinkles are gonna come out now that they don't really 184 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.639 know. You know, Mark D'Antonio is in town, and Mark D'Antonio with 185 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.919 Harlan Barnett as the head interim head coach, called them the head coach. 186 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.480 There may be some defenses they haven't seen, right, There's gonna be some 187 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.919 stuff that Michael Pennis has to prepare for that he just is unsure of. 188 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.639 Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you have to. You have to 189 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.559 do that. And what it does is gonna prepare. But what it does 190 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.000 for the coaching staff, for them it they have to go back now and 191 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.799 watch old film of coach D'Antonio defense because they know that coach Barnett, you 192 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.159 know, has you know, it's from the school of coach coach D'Antonio, 193 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.919 coach Saban and stuff. So there's gonna be some of that that those fingerprints 194 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.759 on on some of those things. I don't think a lot of things is 195 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.240 gonna change defensively, but you know, just it's the same way if you 196 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.679 if you don't know who the starting quarterback is, you have to prepare for 197 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.440 both. So these guys are gonna have to spend extra time watching old film 198 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.919 from coach D'Antonio days from the no fly zone to see, hey, are 199 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.799 they gonna play you know, press coverage on us? What are they gonna 200 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.720 do with the secondary? You know, are they gonna send pressure? What 201 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.320 percentage of time you know, did we send pressure when coach D'Antonio is the 202 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.000 head coach to what percentage of times do we send pressure? Now, you 203 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.759 know, all those things will be you have to take play in account because 204 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.080 you have to get your team in the best position to be successful because it's 205 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.799 a it's a chess game out here. If they do this, we do 206 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:11.080 this kind of thing. Yeah, I honestly I think that it is going 207 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:17.679 to be the same business, the same like defense, the same schemes as 208 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.639 usual, because I think from a coach d standpoint, he's coming in as 209 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.200 like a seasoned head coach to help right, to help get this transition, 210 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.480 get it back on the tide. Now has he had enough time to even 211 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.000 now he's been you know, coach Burnan says, he has given his expertise 212 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.639 and his knowledge on things, but has he quickly has he had a chance 213 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.200 to really implement some of those d'antonioism's, these you know, things that are 214 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.440 happening where he's like, Hey, I'm gonna trust Coach Hazelton as what you're 215 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.840 doing, Coach Johnson as what you're doing, but I'm going to be that 216 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.720 voice of reason on certain things of what I'm seeing out on the field versus 217 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.600 like the adjustments. I think that's going to be the piece of adjustments, 218 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:06.440 not like game plan implementation, but adjustments on what to see because we know 219 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.839 coach he has an eye of like he knows what that plays development before it 220 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.160 is development, that's personnel coming from the sideline running out their offensive break. 221 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.839 He kind of knows from just tendency standpoint. I've been in this game for 222 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.519 too long. I know exactly what's about to happen. And I think that's 223 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.119 gonna be a huge advantage for us, is that he's going to be able 224 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.960 to give Hazelton and all the defensive guys and even some of the offensive guys 225 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.799 some more you know, advice and you know, switch a ruse of like 226 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.960 adjusting to your point chess game. I'm gonna be way ahead of these moves 227 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.799 and being able to stop this this attack. Yeah, I agree with that. 228 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.079 I agree. It's not that defense isn't gonna change much. But to 229 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:52.440 that point, Washington's head coach, he has to prepare the game was gonna 230 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:53.839 change, truly, you know, that's what I'm saying. They're gonna spend 231 00:17:53.839 --> 00:18:00.759 that extra time in looking at those just in case you are not just or 232 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.079 not though, right, that's the thing, either or not. It was 233 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:07.400 like, hey, we're rolling. I don't care what they bring to We're 234 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.359 gonna play our game. But that's a different story. But to your point, 235 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.440 both sides will be prepared. But I think it's an element of we 236 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.839 got some more slag Google, We got that Denzel Washington back, baby, 237 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.880 we got Mark Dantony with that smirt. That's what will coming out now. 238 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.799 You know what I would love on the offensive side if we ran out Jack 239 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:33.720 Sweet to the short side, just oh my goodness, as we haven't had 240 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.880 and then coach gives that smirk. Hey, let's do a fake jet most 241 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:48.559 of the action don't get no, absolutely not, especially in the red zone, 242 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.839 especially to the short side of the field. We don't want beer cans 243 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:59.119 on Spartan Stadium's field. You know after that that that would not be good. 244 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.519 Jet sweep to the short side of the field. We haven't seen that 245 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:06.680 in some years. The players to watch for Washington obviously Michael Pennocks junior fifty 246 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.000 seven to seventy eight. It's a seventy three percent completion percented eight hundred and 247 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.920 fifty nine yards, eight touchdowns to one interception. They've got receivers coming out 248 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.480 of their ears. Jalen McMillan two hundred and fifteen yards on sixteen catches, 249 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:25.559 Rome A Doonsday fourteen catches for two thirty nine, two TVs for him and 250 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.319 Jalen Polk a catch for one hundred and eighty two. I mean, they've 251 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:33.160 got major firepower on the offensive side of the ball. Jayu, let's break 252 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.160 down some of your offensive film takes that we can review from the Tulsa game 253 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:42.079 against Washington. Yeah. Yeah, So we're breaking this down. You know, 254 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.440 when our offense is on the field, what are we going to see 255 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.000 out of the Washington's defense. There a couple of things that I think they're 256 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.359 gonna we're gonna see. Is it's going to be a confident defense that's going 257 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.119 to go out and swarm to the football. So we have this play right 258 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.880 here, if we can freeze this for a second here, you know this 259 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.119 play here they have everyone down in the box. It's it's short yardage. 260 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.279 It's fourth and two, so they're gonna run Tulsa is gonna run a quarterback 261 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.839 lead here. It's an essential quarterback lead, you know, the pre snap 262 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.200 for a running back. If you're in the backfield there or a ball carrier, 263 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.839 you're supposed to read the tackle, you know, or if there's a 264 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.319 tight end on your side, read the tight end. But then also and 265 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.960 then it's the end man on the line of scrimmage. Some teams called the 266 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.039 emo, you know, n man on the line. So what is he 267 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.519 gonna do? You know right now as a running back, Okay, this 268 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.279 tackle is gonna jump them, you know. And then your second thought is 269 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.880 you're running to assets. You know, whichever way his the tackles butts point, 270 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.240 that's where you're gonna go. So you want to stretch it a little 271 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.920 bit. It's a lead play coming out here. This running back is supposed 272 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.039 to to read this and go up and block that middle backer that's there. 273 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.640 And the quarterback, you know, sticks his foot. So this is the 274 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:56.279 big thing with Michigan State this week. You do not have time to run, 275 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.079 you know, east and west. You have to go north and south. 276 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:04.079 One cut this game because this is a penetrating, swarming Washington defense. 277 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:07.839 And we could play that tape there you'll see where where things go wrong that 278 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.240 the tailbat goes outside when he should go inside and block that. And then 279 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:17.599 that quarterback stick your foot and go upfield on that play. So this defense 280 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.039 is gonna come ready to swarm you, you know, every single time. 281 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.240 And then you know, we have another run play that will will show here. 282 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:27.480 But you know the thing is and here it is right here. They're 283 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.680 they're they're going they're playing games on the line. You see up top there, 284 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.720 you know the linebacker he's hugging up the line there and then the dude 285 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.519 like almost a te a tackle end twist and he comes in clean. So 286 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.240 stray, you know, the best communication on that offensive line, pass things 287 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.640 off, you have to do that. And running backs, this is the 288 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.680 type of game where you you tighten that chin strap, you bring your lunch 289 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.200 pail because it's gonna be that type of downhill hitting here. So we can 290 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.680 play this here. You'll see up top there that little game that they play 291 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.200 is coming in and he comes in clean right off that. So you gotta 292 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.599 come, man, you got to pass it off there. And uh so 293 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.519 that's that's a lot of the stuff that they'll do in the run game there 294 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.640 to stop run the run, they're gonna want to try to do different stunts 295 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.640 on the offensive line to throw the linemen off their blocks and off their assignments. 296 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.440 So we have to play discipline on that. Yeah, absolutely, you 297 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.720 have to play die seeing that. You know a week ago, Nick Saymac 298 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:40.079 the center the Remington Award watch list. You know, he did not play 299 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.160 much in game one. He had a was nursing the upper body injury from 300 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.400 over the summer and was get working himself back in the shape against Richmond, 301 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.319 and I watched him. He played the majority of the game. You know, 302 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.839 guys like him, it's gonna be very important for the offensive line to 303 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.799 communicate at the center position what you're talking about right there, what you was 304 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.519 saying, proper footwork, shoulder square and being able to pick up what the 305 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.799 defense is giving you as you progress. You know, when they start doing 306 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.279 the twist, it's very important that the offensive line doesn't start turning sideways. 307 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.599 If you see shoulder sideways and as you said, asses in the whole, 308 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.599 then you can get squeezed into the hole. You gotta stay square. Square 309 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.599 is strength, you know. So that's that's something that will provide those running 310 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:30.240 lanes for Nate Carter. Yeah, I'm one hundred and twelve yards per carry, 311 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.519 which is important in this And we have to find somebody who's gonna spell 312 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.720 him as you talk about, right you, yeah, you we have to 313 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.599 find someone who's gonna have to spell him. But you know also too, 314 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.960 Now let's look at when we're throwing the football. You know what we what 315 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:47.759 we're gonna see is Washington's gonna come in with with arrogance. They're two and 316 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.200 oh they beat us last year. This is their game. They want to 317 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.759 fly around. They're gonna man you across. They're gonna say, our guy 318 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.880 is better than your guy. All right, that's what they're gonna want to 319 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:02.519 do. They're gonna they're gonna play that that man across and then they're gonna 320 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.319 continue to run stunts on the defensive line. Here. I want to I 321 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.160 want to show this play twice because the first time I want to just take 322 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.519 a look at the defensive line where they where they have stunts that they're running, 323 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:18.519 their running te tackle end games and are trying to garner pressure with four 324 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.559 or five guys and across the board. Now they're saying, Hey, our 325 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.400 corners are better than your receivers, and we're gonna, we're gonna, we're 326 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.799 gonna play that way with some safety help, you know if if need be, 327 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:33.440 So can we play this here, Tony. So down there they're running 328 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.359 twists and games and they're just playing man across the board, locking the receivers 329 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.480 up, safety going over for that easy pick. That's otis Wiley loving that, 330 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:48.599 you know, that's that's just ridiculous. No are you kidding me? 331 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.079 Go back to that play line that up one more time. Hey listen, 332 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.759 no, hey, no him. You see this look right here, go 333 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.519 back to the beginning and we can see that look right there. Man, 334 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.680 that's a that's an underfront last year. But I mean, there's five in 335 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.920 the box. I don't care. What is the third n eight this third 336 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.720 night on this play. That's five in the box. Guys right here. 337 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.279 This route tree is pretty bad, but it's the standpoint of like, hey 338 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.680 you got man, monoy model. All guys are locked in this look. 339 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.400 This looks like is cover one uh with these two safeties over top right, 340 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.519 Clearly it's easy for the safety to get over his half standpoint cover two man. 341 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:32.519 But why isn't the slot receiver doing more of a dig route slash a 342 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.920 curl route to get to the sticks? Right? I think you had two 343 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.240 guys, one guy going to the drag this deep ball which was really bad 344 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.640 in the standpoint of release, but these guys had them locked up. So 345 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.319 there's an element of to your point she is, you got to have a 346 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:49.519 fourth and fifth option with this tight You got the tight end as well, 347 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.319 you've got to have an option, which we got. Elite Carr is one 348 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.839 of our threats. We haven't really said a lot about Lak Carr, but 349 00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.079 he's been balling the past two weeks, right, So he has to have 350 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.680 a solid game. He has to have a day like absolutely consistency. He 351 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.240 needs to be a threat in the passing game. Yeah, they're gonna continue 352 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.279 to do that. They're gonna man you up, and then they're gonna try 353 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.720 to disguise some things, you know, defensively there. You know we talked 354 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:19.119 about you know, we like to to you know, they like to play 355 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.720 man coverage. So if the next play we're gonna show it, I'm gonna 356 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.640 show a disguise a blitz that they that they're disguising. You know, people 357 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.359 call it a bunch of different things. I grew up with it as a 358 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:37.160 corner crash or corner cat I think straight you call it cowboy yeah, yeah, 359 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:45.039 man. So so what it is is, so your indicators, your 360 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.920 indicators for for a corner crash or cowboy blitzes, you know, a couple 361 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.920 of things. When you're in there and you it's always gonna come from the 362 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.319 short side of the field. So if we look into the bottom of our 363 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.759 screen here, okay, can they bring a corner crash. Yes, it's 364 00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:00.920 the short side of the field. And what will that do with What will 365 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.039 that tell you? The next thing you do is you look at how the 366 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.799 defender, how the corner is playing the receiver. Is he playing him pressed? 367 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.759 Is he's pressed on him like he is right now. Your next indicator 368 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.759 is look up to the safety. That safety is going to start to, 369 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:22.079 you know, cheat a little bit down because he has he's replacing the corner 370 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.960 that's blitzing. He has your guy in man. We said, Washington likes 371 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.920 to play man coverage here. So one indicator boom, short side of the 372 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:36.160 field on a boundary check. There were corners playing press check. Look at 373 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.160 that. Look at the safety, now is he creeping a little bit? 374 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.599 Is he already over there to pick this receiver up in man check? What 375 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.400 this quarterback needs to do now he needs to slide his running back to the 376 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.160 other side. And also this wide receiver needs to be yelling crash crash, 377 00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:59.200 crash, crash crash or alert alerted a load alert. So everyone's tentacles are 378 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.519 going up and understanding something could be coming over here. We talked about it, 379 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.119 so and you're gonna see when we play this, it's exactly. It's 380 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.720 gonna break down. That corner is gonna go win there. This safety is 381 00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.480 gonna pick up that receiver in man covers going across the field there. So 382 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.039 you know, let's let's play it and take a look at it. Here. 383 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.359 Boom right there, corner crash going, he picks him up and he 384 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:26.079 gets home. He gets home on that. That's the player right there he 385 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.480 came from. Yeah. Well also to that running back just ran past them. 386 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:37.000 You never as a as a offensive player, as a lead. Yeah, 387 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.880 he ran past him. You never go past one to get one. 388 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.200 You got to block. You know, the quarterbacks rolling that way. Why 389 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:53.279 are you a chip slow him down? You're right die. But to the 390 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:57.240 point there, that quarterback needed to they needed to go through their keys. 391 00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.799 That receiver should have been yelling crash, crash, crash or alerted a load 392 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.920 alert. That quarterback needed to move that running back to the other side of 393 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.720 him, say hey, this some gun's coming, so let's let's take a 394 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:12.200 look at him. So hid the line protect you fan, get that tackle 395 00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.920 out there on that, because that's it's The center should see that too, 396 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.359 Like, if you're any good, you'd be able to see that, you 397 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.400 know, like you're hearing the receiver yell alert you know, cowboy crash, 398 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.440 whatever it is, change the protection, check out of it, and throw 399 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:26.880 hot. If you're on a rollout, you don't want to run away from 400 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.759 that and get tracked down from because he's a better athlete than you, clearly 401 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.640 quarterback, no Kim. So yeah, So they're gonna want to do some 402 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:38.079 disguising now and then the next one we have up here, they're gonna try 403 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.960 to bring everybody up on the line. And this is where stray as the 404 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.960 center. You're now you're talking, you're looking at numbers, you're identifying who's 405 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.119 the mic, Who do we have and let's communicate here, because you know 406 00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:56.400 they're gonna bring up They're not bringing everybody like that who has potential to come 407 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.359 and who doesn't look at their stances. You know who's in that motor cycle 408 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.440 stance, who's on their heels a little bit. You know that they're gonna 409 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.799 have to drop back. So they're gonna try to mug up everyone on the 410 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.720 line of scrimmage to confuse Noah Kim. This is a young quarterback in his 411 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.119 first star in this third start of the game. This is his first real 412 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.359 big game. We're gonna go out there. We're gonna confuse him a little 413 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.119 bit. We're gonna confuse this offensive line. We're gonna mug up in there. 414 00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:23.799 We're gonna send some, but we're gonna drop some. And this is 415 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.279 the time that this drops them into. We talked about them playing a lot 416 00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:32.000 of man coverage this time here to sprinkle a little bit of zone in there 417 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:38.039 as well, so we can go ahead and play that tony. So everyone's 418 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.720 lined up on the line there, who's gonna come and who's gonna go boom? 419 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:48.440 Take steps in and drop Come on, left tackle, Come on, 420 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.400 left tackle. Now, I gotta believe Brandon Baldwin's gonna be a lot better 421 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.720 than that right there. Yeah. Absolutely, he don't let anybody go past 422 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.400 you on the inside. Man, don't let the dangerous man free run at 423 00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.599 quarterback. And uh so there's a question that I have. I was watching 424 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.799 this game last week and I was like, damn, you know, they 425 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:15.200 put this corner in a bad position playing this man defense here. You know 426 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:18.640 for Tulsa otis, can you like look at this because my thought process is 427 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.279 you have to either go to a zone and and pass things off, you 428 00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.240 know on on the next play that we're gonna show here. Because it's a 429 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.440 speedzer. You gotta know your players, know your know who's doing what. 430 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.200 They have a receiver down here, they're gonna send in motion and uh, 431 00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.039 Tulsa's playing man coverage. This receiver's too fast to keep up with him. 432 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.640 Here. Everything's gonna go by and it's gonna be easy walking touchdown here. 433 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.400 So that's why I think sometimes you have to mix things up and have a 434 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.279 little concept of zone there he's not gonna catch him. Yeah, look a 435 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.359 good point, Like when you're in the red zone, there's in your man 436 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.960 there is no way that you're able to get over there. Now, you 437 00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.519 if you're in most and you're locked in and there's obviously pressure, you gotta 438 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.759 be on the hip pocket of him running in that motion, line line line 439 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.640 sight. You're running with him in in same pacing, right or hey, 440 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.519 if we know we're both in man and we've been studying this, Hey, 441 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.799 he goes in the motion. All right, that's you. Like you bump 442 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.880 out corner like you just take that. That's the immediate tackle for loss or 443 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.039 a tackle not tackle loss. But that's easily an easily no no gain completion. 444 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.680 If my man is just sitting there absorbing that, I don't think it 445 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.920 needs to have to necessarily change to his own because if you communicate the correct 446 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.920 way and man, you're bumping it out like you say, hey, you 447 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.839 carry that motion motion motion? He said, hear that, he carries that. 448 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.680 I take this other tight end, you know, the tight end we 449 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:52.759 kind of bumped down covers. You had three tight ends in there. Thirteen 450 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.799 yeah, yeah, so yeah, three yeah, three tight ends. When 451 00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.640 we know even double tights universally it's almost that boot action like play action almost 452 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:05.480 where they you know, he boot, but to this point I'm all about, 453 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.440 like Monoi mono goat man in the red zone because it's easier more, 454 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:13.839 it's less space to cover from that twenty yard line. In let's see that 455 00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.240 again, so you guys can break it down. This is good stuff here. 456 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.319 Yeah, hey, this is this is Master's class of football. Now, 457 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.720 this is I mean, you see this corner here. Now you got 458 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:30.680 another corner, uh, you know, safety on the other side where everyone 459 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.920 should bump. Obviously, linebackers are locked in like you got running back, 460 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.759 you got you know, you know, maybe assignment on Poenix Pennix Junior. 461 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.640 Obviously I know I was gonna mess that up. The other safety. Uh, 462 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.240 this could be free where he's like roaming to make sure his eyes on 463 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.799 a QB. But as soon as that motion hits, this is an easy 464 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.880 like, hey, I replace the person that obviously is leaving. So now 465 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.200 this corner that's near us, obviously this to the boundary. He's gonna cover 466 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.359 up this tight end now and then you have the other guys that that far 467 00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:06.200 corner. He takes that motion and he's waiting like, honestly, if I'm 468 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:08.440 that corner, I'm jumping to that hash and I'm just letting it come to 469 00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:13.719 me. Now the issues run, he could run out and do that out 470 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.159 end route, you know, but I think it's an element of I'm going 471 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.880 to embrace it like a sponge and I'm gonna wait for him to come to 472 00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.920 me. And that's that's an easy kind of interception pass breakup because you know 473 00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:27.719 what to look for in this motion, in this set here. But I 474 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.519 know, look, it's tough for me to follow what too breakdown because you 475 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:35.519 did a real, real, real deal master on the offense the defensive side, 476 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.440 where I'm like, I don't got nothing to say right now. Look, 477 00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:44.159 I'm going I'm gonna take it back to last year of what we could 478 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:49.039 have done better to obviously prepare for this year against Washington's offense. Obviously none 479 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.519 of that has changed from year over year. You still got the same personnel, 480 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:57.239 same guys from a receiver corps and obviously quarterback. But you know, 481 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.000 to look at I just selected two players because honest, that's what I thought 482 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:05.639 we were supposed to do. Uh, you know what I'm saying. So 483 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.559 of course it's offensive guys that's always planning. More like Coach d said, 484 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:21.880 you give him an take him out. So we look at the last last 485 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:27.880 year's UH matchup, so obviously the momentum, quick, offensive tempo, right 486 00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:32.880 like they came out, guns blazing and so basically attacking us, getting us 487 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.760 on our heels. This is a play where you're gonna see when you see 488 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.639 motions sometimes it's just like just take you off your your guards and your keys, 489 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.679 right, Motions distraction sometimes, right, so you get a distraction. 490 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.519 He's not Look, he's not even peeking at this this motion here. Now 491 00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.559 we got it covered up, but kind of rewind there. You got a 492 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.000 slot receivers. Now that one is on the line, you got you got 493 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:59.719 McMillan on the line, and you gotta you got is that you got the 494 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.679 other receiver obviously off the ball. Now, as you can tell, this 495 00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:06.840 is man coverage, right, like you can tell what we just talked about 496 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:12.199 this last that last clip, we bumped things up. You see obviously kim 497 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:17.159 bro running obviously to the middle of the field because now he's covering this backside 498 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:21.960 tied end and then obviously you see a corner coming up getting that motion. 499 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.960 Basically, this is what we should should do with that last clip. Now, 500 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:30.800 if I'm sitting here and we talked about man press coverage, and we 501 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:36.079 are man on man with these slide receivers. There's a there is a signal 502 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:40.880 to each guy mirror speed and gross look at each other. It's area. 503 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.000 This is a man coverage. They cross routes. I'm taking the inside guy, 504 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.880 you take the outside guy. There should be no reason why I need 505 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.679 to cross over. Knowing that, hey, I'm off the ball, I 506 00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:54.320 can absorb that this could be an easy uh, you know, coverage sack 507 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:59.360 or you know it shouldn't be a deep ball deep ball pass. But play 508 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:04.519 the play the clip and you can see where out the gates he's already trailing 509 00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:08.440 and almost like, hey, he's playing the ball looking back versus Hey, 510 00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:12.679 we talked about go to cool school. This is a This is a slogan 511 00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.639 of coach Burtnett. You got to go to cool school. If you're out 512 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:17.639 of phase with the receiver, there's no need for you to be looking back 513 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.199 because when you look back, it's you think you're flashing, but you're slowing 514 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.000 down. Get to the hip. Make sure you get to the hip. 515 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.719 And when you get to the hip, best DBS man, you're able to 516 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.559 see that reflection on the ball. And the peopil of the receiver and then 517 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.159 that's where you say, hey, I start to wide on that ball, 518 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.719 and that's when you make a look and you're in position. But right here 519 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.239 is like out the gate. We could have alleviated this of you a mere 520 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.519 speed if that's on him on the other side, he takes McMillan and you 521 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:51.000 got you got him taking the other receiver. So there's an element of they're 522 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:52.880 trying to get you on your heels quick, right, So you got to 523 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.800 think ahead. We talked about chess moves, think ahead to make sure you're 524 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:01.159 covering the best ground. And communication. Communication is key because it looked like 525 00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:06.320 last year there was not that much communication and we kind of saw where we 526 00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:10.639 didn't have our leader and ex Exavier Henderson, and so it was just all 527 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:14.719 all around, you know, a bad deal for us. But now this 528 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.360 year, you know, we got speed at the secondary. Both safeties are 529 00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:22.559 young, both corners are very locked down and very aggressive and hitting in the 530 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.360 run game, which now they're really one dimensional. So we know we're gonna 531 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.920 take care of run game, but how are we going to be able to 532 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:30.320 control that air? And this is going to be the way to control the 533 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.639 air is communication. Now you look at last year too. Now they also 534 00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.000 that second drive. They also they went four downs to try to get into 535 00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.559 the inZone. And we had a solid gold line stance, and so we 536 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:46.440 had Chris Bogle obviously healthy too, and I think now we have a stronger, 537 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:51.760 a stronger defensive front. From a standpoint, everybody's looking to eat, 538 00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.719 and every when everyone's looking to eat, we all eat, right. So 539 00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.920 you know, if you play this clip, I mean we talk about there 540 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.119 was other clips which I wish if I knew half five out of got the 541 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:06.519 whole four clips here first down. But look at the gap pressure that we 542 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:10.039 got from our front line. Look at that like we talk about everybody hats 543 00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:14.880 to the football, third and goal. Now look every time here, Look 544 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.239 he could have pitched that option we are at every Look how many white jerseys 545 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.440 are at the ball. No one's getting pushed to the end zone. Everybody's 546 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:27.840 hunkered down, foundation, get into their gaps. Responsibility, do your job. 547 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.519 This is going to be how it is on Saturday. Do your job 548 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:36.079 and we will we will prevail. And so this is an element of consistent, 549 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.320 consistent point of attack of the ball. Every chance you get, we 550 00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:43.679 gotta put a lick on the quarterback. You gotta wear and tear, you 551 00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:45.920 start to put some knowledge on them. I think there's an element of where 552 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:50.840 it could be some breakdowns where he's getting tired. So that's our goal. 553 00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.519 How many hits can we get to them, and how many sacks can we 554 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.199 get so we can get free stacks. Yeah, go back to that play 555 00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:59.199 real quick, just so you can understand the trench game right here and that 556 00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.639 in those third, the fourth and goal plays. You know, when you're 557 00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:07.039 in on the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball for want, 558 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.119 you're taught to re establish a line of scrimmage. So the defense is trying 559 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.280 to get their feet to where that black line is. If you see that, 560 00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:15.800 that's where they want to get their feet. The offense is trying to 561 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.840 do the same thing. Low man wins and you're trying to re establish a 562 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.280 line of scrimmans. So when you look at this, when you roll the 563 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.199 tape, you'll see those white See how they come across the line. Their 564 00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:31.320 feet are across into that black line and beyond it is impossible as a running 565 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:35.159 back to you. You know this from being in that position when you get 566 00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.800 that rock and you see the penetration. Where where can you go? You 567 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:44.639 can't, Yeah, you it's either take what's given to you right there or 568 00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:50.920 trying to bounce in and lose yards. So it's bargers we used to do, 569 00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.880 man, you straight, like, hey, when win the side or 570 00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:59.519 the offense versus defense. This is like typical inside little league stuff like this 571 00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:01.840 is where we fundamental, right, this is where we thrive on inside run 572 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:06.559 and this is where practicing inside run and do it every day and then it 573 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.119 gets to this point. This is where you thrive because when you win these 574 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:14.440 battles, that's a huge momentum shift of getting a goal line stand. So 575 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.679 clearly they obviously took that advantage. They did not respect us, and they 576 00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.400 was like we're gonna we're gonna beat beat them bad. Let's go on Saturday, 577 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:23.760 man, Like it's a different ball game, Like this is a new 578 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:28.519 team, this is a new mindset. We got some for those Huskies. 579 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.519 Well, man, that's that is outstanding stuff.

We talk 600 00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:00.159 about winning games on the three phases of the game offense, defense, special 601 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.119 teams. This week there's four phases that we have to win. We have 602 00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.400 to win the offense, the defense, the special team, and we got 603 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:12.199 to control the crowd. That's that has to be there. The twelfth Man, 604 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:16.559 Spartan Nation, you are the fourth phase of the game, and we 605 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:22.199 have to create a hostile environment for the Huskies because trust me, that's a 606 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:25.039 long ass flight back home with the loss. So it's on us, the 607 00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:30.360 players are because we did that last year. So taking care of business. 608 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.960 We need spartanation to show up and take care of business as the twelfth man. 609 00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.840 That's right, Noah Kim and company coming right at you.
