  Speaker 1: We're back on the Yukon Football Coaches Show with Jim Moore, targeting, turnovers,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: red zone. We're going to get to all of that.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: The Merrimack Warriors who opened up with a loss at
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: air Force twenty one to six, we'll find out about
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: them as well. But Jim, you have to start the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: next game because of targeting without a couple of players.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: This has become a kind of a hot button issue
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit in football college football. In my mind,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with almost every game, it feels like somebody, not just Yukon,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: but anybody's playing is losing players for a half and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game because of targeting. I know
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're not going to reinvent the wheel and I try
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to do it on the air. Probably not a good
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: thing to do. But is there anything that can be
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: looked at in terms of reviewing how this targeting paul
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is being made right now in college football?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, fortunately we're only you know, Jordan's was in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the first half, so he's available the whole game this week.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Durante's was in the second half, so he has to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: sit the first half. Yeah, there's things that can be
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: done now, whether they'll be done or not. I you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I'm hesitant to say I think that in today's college football,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: with the number of quarterbacks that are big, physical runners
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and have decided they want to slide at the last second,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: it's really made it difficult for a coach to teach
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: his defensive players, you know, how to actually enter and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: tackle a quarterback. In particular, you know, if you take
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the two plays that our guys got removed from the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: game for neither quarterback was down when they were hit.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: If you slow it down in super slow motion, both
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of our guys had a normal target in terms of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the height of the target when they entered the tackle,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and both the quarterbacks lowered their head. It brought their
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: bodies down to a level that our player was already
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: at for the targeting. And so it's just and they
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: slid late. So if our guys, and I'm talking about
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I say our guys in say, any defensive player in
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the country initially quarter If you don't, if you don't
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: get ready to tackle a quarterback, they're gonna run over you, right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So you've got to You've got to get ready to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: tackle them. And that means breaking down, and that means
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: starting to bring your feet and your hips and your
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: velocity towards them, and when they slide, if they if
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they don't slide, they'll run your ass over. If you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: don't do those things, and if they do slide, then
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you've left yourself vulnerable to a targeting call because they
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: are lowering the target and they're bringing the target down
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to where you've already put your body. So I don't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: know that it can be fixed right now, I can
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: tell you this, uh, And I was around a couple
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of pretty good running quarterbacks, Mike Vick and a guy
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: named Steve Young. Steve's in the Hall of Fame. Mike,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we all know they didn't slide. They they go because
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: they felt that protected them because they could get under
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the hit. They never slid. Steve Young never slid, Mike
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Vick never slid. Maybe they shouldn't let quarterbacks slide, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: maybe they should have to dive because when they slide,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they're leaving themselves open to targeting just as well. So listen,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I know that me talking about it isn't gonna have
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: any effect on it. We just have to do the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: best job we can of emphasizing with our players. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes you might have to absorb a hit from a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: quarterback to stand a game, as unfortunate as that is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And you know, it's so easy for all of us
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to slow the game down and go slow motion. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: go over to the replay at slow most slow most
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: slow motion. These are decisions that are happening within a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: fraction of a second. So I feel for defensive players
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: across the country, you know, And it's a hefty price
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to play, to be kicked out of a game when
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you only get to play twelve games, you know, maybe thirteen,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: or if you're a playoff team, a few more. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: it is what it is griping about. It's not going
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to help. Trying to find a solution should help if
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people that are football, people that understand the game and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: what the game really is, you know, are allowed to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: get involved. I think we can find a solution, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: right now that's not happening. Yeah, I think it can
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: happen this year. So we just got to do the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: best we can of No.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I think I think you're right about that. We're on
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the same I'm sorry, that's okay, We're on the same
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: page as far as that goes. During the game broadcast,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I was saying you know, you know, maybe we just
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: can't let quarterbacks slide like that for their own protection.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Think about it, for their own protection, and also the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: fact that defensive guys are a little bit in a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: bad place too, because they don't know how to tackle
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: someone who's sliding like that. But going back to what
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you said about Mike Vick Steve Young, you go down low,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and you put yourself down on the ground, give yourself
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: up head first. Your head helmet is way down low.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The chances of you getting hit are kind of slim.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You're going to get hit in the back. You're not
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: going to get hit in the face and have your
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: helmet fly off and potentially get concussed. I know that's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a stretch and we're not going to fix this today,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but maybe it's something that has to be a topic
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of conversation.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you this, if they get coaches involved,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and if this becomes something that becomes really, really prominent
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in college football this year, more soon than it ever has,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: then it will certainly be a topic discussion. I also
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think this that I believe the officials on the field
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: have to throw the flag and take it to review,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and I believe that the person that's in the review
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: booth making the decision should always have the attitude of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: how can I I need to look for ways not
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to call targeting rather than ways to make this targeting.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I think they need to err on the side of
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it not being targeting. That needs to be their attitude.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: My gut feeling is that is their attitude. I don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: think anyone wants to see a young man kicked out
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of a game, but listen, it'll eventually hopefully get figured out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I think the NFL has figured it out. And you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: they're they don't kick guys out of the game, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: they have far fewer players, and they're paying those dudes
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a lot more money and we're paying them. So, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: don't know, go talk to Roger Goodell and those guys
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and see what they decided.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the thing that where we're football
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in college doesn't have a commissioner you can go to.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You can't pick up the phone and call the commissioner
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of college football because there isn't one. Maybe if you could,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that would start that kind of conversation. All right, Jim
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Morris with us, we'll be got on.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I listen, I got a bigger problems in targeting.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, and we're going to get to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: those because I know you take on this stuff head
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on anyway, week to week with us, and we certainly
• 6:47
