Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson Reacts to His Highlights with OC Jake Spavital | Big 12 Field Study, Ep 2 · Bleacher Report

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Also shout out to the right tackle Peyton Saraki right here.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Anytime something like this happens, he does a great job
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of yelling my name as loud as he can and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: giving me a heads up.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you should be telling me that, man.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: That is not the first time, he probably won't be
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: the last time they'll do something like that.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: But you guys are on the same page. Yeah, exactly,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: all right, So you're playing well right now. You're one
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: of the top quarterbacks in the country, you know, right now,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and you're leading every single category almost statistically from throwing
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the football and Bleacher Report one to come in and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: do a film session with you. It's going to show
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you and your athleticism in terms of, like you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: extending plays. It's going to show some really great plays
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: that he makes.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: So excited to.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Kind of get this in going right now, So let's
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: hop in this film session.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, So first play lining up in one of our
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: two by two open sets, and so right here we're
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: going to have an option route right here with Cole
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and so he's gonna come and he's gonna either break
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in or break out based off the leverage of this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: dB knowing that there's linebackers in here and it's one
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on one right there, thinking he might be breaking in
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if he can after the snaff of the ball. These
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: these linebackers are still kind of hanging out in there.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: They if there's any kind of internal pressure, Cole would
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: break that in right there, and he'd catch that slant
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on the run and he would move and get as
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: much as he can. But see he sees that out
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of his peripheral vision, and so he's gonna break out
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: right here. Oklahoma State does a great job matching it up.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And so I see that and I'm working back to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: my backside. Concept could trigger this right here to clop
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in that window before this linebacker can make a play
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and before this safety crashes down on it. But as
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I'm stepping up, my vision gets blurry a little bit,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and so then I'm just working through. Oklahoma State does
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a good job with the pass rush and it turns
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: into kind of what we were talking about earlier, just
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: making a play. Your job changes within the play, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Nightstick does a good job getting open after the play
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: breaks down.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: With quarterback scrambles. Everybody's going to be very critical of that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: What type of balance do you have, you know, in
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: terms of you know, hitting the home run shot or
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: just being efficient with your play. And you had like
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of that moment versus Oklahoma State where you have like
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a forty yard touchdown scramp where you know Jaden Porter
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: is wide open on his curl route, but you saw
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the window, you took the like you tucked the ball,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and you ended up running for a big, big play.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Because that was one of the first times where I
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: actually kind of saw like your athletic ability. Didn't think
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: he had that home run mentality, which you actually did
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that game. Which has been fun as a coach to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: see just the maturity and the progression of you just
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: really managing the game and taking the most efficient thing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I thought number fourth for Oklaoma State was a really
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: good player. And you see him play back, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: rush up the field to force you to step up
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: in the pocket and he plays back down on you,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: which a lot of people don't recognize that, and I
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: think he recognized it right at the end. And for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you to make this play and get out of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: pocket and still you know, get your eyes down field
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and deliver a great ball, and that was a really
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: big play.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: For us also shout out to the right tackle with
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Peyton Saraki right here. Anytime something like this happens, he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: does a great job of yelling my name as loud
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: as he can and giving me a heads up. So
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: right here he's yelling my name as loud as he can,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and so I know something is probably happening behind me,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and so that gives me the that gives me the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: wherewithal to kind of do this right here, make it happen,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and then work through it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: And I know that is not the first time, he
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: probably won't be the last time they will do something
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: But on the same page, yeah, exactly. Okay, so this
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: is against SMU.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We're down seven right here, so we know we need
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a touchdown to tie the game, force it into overtime.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And so right here we have one of our plays
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: called where it's going to be a glance right here
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: by Josh and then Kobe is gonna be running a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: crossing route and then we got Ashen on the curl
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: right right behind it, and we're free releasing this tight
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: end and the running back. So I know it's a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: five man pro, but I'm getting back to this. If
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be my checkdown. And so you can
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: see as the ball is snapped, I'm I drilling the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: middle of the field seeing if this guy is gonna
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: buzz right here into the glance window. And that's a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: split second decision, right And you can kind of see,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like hang in my head right here, seeing that he's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: not working to this side of the field, so he's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: kind of getting over here. So I know I'm already
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: getting off that, especially with a safety over the top.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They've got three guys over there for our one guy
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that we have.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: This whole point was to try to influence those middle linebackers,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: right and like earlier in this drive, we called this
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: play on a fourth and three, which was a big play,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and they gave you a different look. And if you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: look at that Mike linebacker right there, that's like close
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to Kobe. Do you see how the swat with the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: swing of the tight end and the running back influences
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: him for about three four steps right there, which allows
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you and like the anticipation of this, the precision of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this right here. And I didn't even think you were
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: looking at him really, and I don't think Kobe was
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: actually had his head around it's just you knew he
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was going to be in that window, and I'm saying,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: what a great play in such a crucial time. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I always enjoy watching Kobe, who we're sitting here at
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the halfway point of the season. He has seventeen receptions
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: for six touchdowns, so I think he should probably throw
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to him a little bit more in these moments.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: But in a different celebration with each one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's so awesome watching the celebrations. You know, I saw
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you get involved with these celebrations for so Coloma State,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: which I'll let the audience decide and critique you on
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: your dance at that point.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, So right here we have our sit juke hank play.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna have a hitch route right there by
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: number one, a sit route right here y two, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: then we got an OTB that he can convert once
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he's matched with a curl route coming right here, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: then a check swing right here by the back. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna read this one to two, to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: three to four and then getting all the way to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: my fifth read if I need to, so as you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: can see how Arizona State's playing this right here, this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: corner up top is just looking at me, and so
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: if I go to trigger this hitch route right here,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: there's a chance he can break on that. It's a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: far throw opposite hash, he can break on that, undercut it,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pick it off, and so I'm getting off of that
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: one pretty quickly.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And then after that going to the sit route.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You can see right here, this guy's playing way over
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the top, and so he's gonna shut this down. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: as he does, this safety is kind of working his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: way into this void right here, and so I immediately
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get off of that as well. It's a split second
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: decision in the game, and so I'm working down to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: my third read right here with Trigg.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Trigg is sitting.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Down in this void in between this mic and this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: linebacker right here as well. But he knows that once
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I give him my eyes, he can break this and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: find this grass right here, which is exactly what he does.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And I liked that because I thought he got open
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: right there, and I put it to a place where
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I thought he could get it, and he made a play.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You know, this is in the fourth quarter of the game.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: We're down seven points.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Coach Randa talks about all the time, your best players
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have to make their best plays in.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: The most crucial times in the game.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Michael Trigg does right here, all
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: right now. The next clip we got is against Kansas
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: State and are spread two by two splits, another one
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of our base Day one installs where it's just a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: four vertical four vertical read. So we're going right here,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and like I was saying earlier, just you give you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: do such a good job of allowing them to run
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the space, and so it's not obviously going to look
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like football isn't played in straight lines, right, So you
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: can see right here if you watch each receiver, each
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: one of them is gonna be doing a different thing,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: trying to find grass right here, right and so up
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: top you have Cole doesn't think he can win right here,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and so he ends up shutting it down right there.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Josh. The safety's playing over the top,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so he shuts it down as well. Kansas State does
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a good job with these two defenders, just playing them
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: at a level where we're shutting it down. And so
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna work this side down here to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the bottom with Trig and Ashton. Ashton, same thing right
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: here he's running four verticals. He knows he's not gonna
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: run by this guy, so he just shuts it down.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: He's gonna work back down his stem in case I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: need to throw that right there. But then Trig, this
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: guy's even I know, Trig is a really really fast
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: tight end and so I just try to throw it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: by this guy and allow Trig to go make a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: play and fit it in between, kind of bend him
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in towards the middle of the field because I see
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this corner right here playing over the top, and so
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: if I throw this ball like right here, this number
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: nine right here is probably gonna go make a play
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on that ball.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And so I know I kind of have to bend Trig.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: In a little bit the demeanor of this guy he's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: running this way, and so trusting Trig to kind of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get closer to the hash right there in order in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: order to catch this ball right there. And obviously Trig
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: has really really great hands and he's able to make
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a great, great catch.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: This is the best throw that you've had since my
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: time coaching you, and I think this is arguably probably
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: one of the best throws that you've ever had. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this is luck or if this
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: is actually skill? So do you think you can recreate
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this throw?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go find out.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: They're saying it's a thirty four yard throw roughly, like
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: in the divide between the hash and the numbers. We're
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in a two by two set. You threw it from
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the eleven yard line roughly. That means that you have
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to step up in the pocket a little bit. We're
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: going to give you five opportunities to recreate this if
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you can make it into the drop net thirty four
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: yards away from where you're throwing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Perfect. You think you do it? I think I got it?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Or was it all luck?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Or was it all trig? Yeah? All trig? The eyes
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: shut all right?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Oh for one, I think you're wound up.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Now miss short three times in a row. Definition of insanity.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: That one looks good?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Oh no again, that's the one, man, This is the one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I can tell it. It looks like it was lucky.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Glad I get to throw the trig and not a net.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, that's a wrap for today. I just want
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to thank Bleacher Report for coming out and hanging out
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: with us on our on our bye week and uh
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: uh again, man, like we got a lot of great
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: things happening here at Baylor. Very fortunate to coach a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: guy like Sorry Robinson. I think Baylor is fortunate to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: have it too, But I thought's that that's an inside
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: look of what Sorry Robinson goes through on daily basis and.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to the rest of the season. Sickon m
