  Speaker 1: LSU, if you put LSU at one, I'm okay with that.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: They just, hold on, I'm getting reports. Yeah, they just
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: scored again on Clemson. I mean, they slapped Clemson around.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: They took a frying pan and went cha-tong. Like, I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: want to show you something. Show me something. We're going
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to do this every week with some tape.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Because I know you be, see, you got the sight lines,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: you got the vision. You locked in the ball.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Locked in.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Show me something that I probably didn't see over this
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: past weekend.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: All right, so LSU, we know what happened all offseason.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: The lane train arrived in Baton Rouge. All the money,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: all the comments, all the things that happened. And then
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: he showed you on Saturday night, after a little bit
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the delay, why they paid so much money for him.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Why they bring all these guys in. You know what
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: he does is he makes the game so easy. So
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to show you some tape. And let me
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: see if I, do I have to get us there?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Number eight, LSU. Watch this. We're learning the ticker. Top 25. Yes,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: number eight, LSU. There we go. So now we can
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: go to media, and we're going to watch some David's tape. Nice.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It's even headed. Okay. All right. So this is the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: most important part. If you watch LSU's offense, it's breakneck pace. Like,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it is so fast, man. You have to get lined
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: up so fast. As a defensive guy, you're like, okay,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I got to get the call. I got to translate it. Okay,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: line up and play football. But what you don't see
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is they line up really fast. And then what do
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they do? They run motion out here. They see they're
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in a certain amount of coverage. But, okay, let's math, fellas.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Let's math, okay? Let's just count. This is what they've done.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So they spread them out a little bit by moving
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the receiver here. Bring the receiver back in the backfield.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't touch it. I didn't do that. Dang. All righty. Hey,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: just like that. We're back, baby. All right. So motions
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: him out. He sees what they're in. But look, this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is just math. Look at Clemson. One. Let's draw. Let's draw. Look. One, two, three, four, five. Tekeo,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you can count to five, right?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I can't. Thank God I have the amount of fingers.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Not a mathematician, but I think that is five, coach.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: That is five. Okay. Let's do this, Tekeo. Because we
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: counted the same guy, Clemson, there. One, two, three, four, five. Six.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And you really can count the quarterback. Does six beat five?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Every single time. So look at that. They've basically done
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a great job of outnumbering. This is a receiver, guys.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So when we play it and he goes in motion,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he's getting the football. He gets 10 yards down the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: field before he gets touched. That's great play design. That's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin doing what Lane Kiffin does best. Okay, on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that last play, you saw the defensive end. What did
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: he show you? He squeezed down really hard. So you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: going to see the same thing right here. Squeezed down
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: really hard. Lane is like, that's how you want to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: play it? You want to squeeze down? Okay. Watch what
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I do here. This is another guy that's coming across.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: A lot of times he kicks him out. He's not
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: kicking him out. Watch his track. He does a great job.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: He goes out wide so he can go pick up
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and be an extra blocker, but he makes the defensive
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: end thinks he's squeezing down. So now watch. Unbelievable job.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And again, block down 20 yards down the field before
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he's touched. That's elite play design. And we can't... Let's see. Okay,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this is so dirty. This is so good, man. Like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: if you can see this from the top of the play,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I wish we had a little bit more of this beforehand.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Running backs right here to start the play. Running back
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: motions all the way out. Linebacker goes from here to here.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: What covers are they in, Takiyah?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Man to man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Man to man. I know right away it's man to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: man out on the outside. This is what Sam Leavitt does.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: He looks at his wide receivers, and he goes like this.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He touches his helmet again. He's going pace. He's going
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: tempo so fast so fast, right? These receivers were split
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: 10 yards down here on the field. Everybody comes in tight.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Why is everybody coming in tight? Usually a reason why
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: everybody comes in tight. Now they go across. This is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: called a shallow screen. He's blocking. That's cheating. By the way,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you can't block when the ball is coming in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: air unless one thing happens. unless he catches the ball
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. If he catches the ball
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, you can block down the field.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They know exactly what they're doing. They know what they're in.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Blocking downfield already. Catch the ball. Takeo, 20, 30,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: 30 yards down the field.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That's attention to detail right there.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: 30 yards down the field. Oh, I love this one.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Attention to detail. I need to go back just a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: little bit, but look. All right. So watch. He came
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in motion this direction. Look, that's the receiver, okay? He
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: came all the way across, and then he went back.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Look at the safeties. You see them right now rocking
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and rolling. Yes, they're rotating. So guess what? I got you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're doing. And now you took
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: 22 off the hash. Look at him running back. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know you're in single high. I know exactly what you're in,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: spinning it down. I've made it easy for my quarterback.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Now watch this. Back up. I'm going to hit that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: crosser right across the middle of the field where the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: safety evacuated. Listen, you can feel however you want to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: feel about Lane Kiffin. You can feel however you want
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to feel. He does this. He orchestrates. He's a pain
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in the backside to every single person that plays against him.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So just being you, Takiyah, like playing defense against that,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: at that speed and that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You can't stop it because to your point, what you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: said earlier– The tough thing as a linebacker is you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: want to get the call in from the sideline. Once
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you get the call in, now I have to be
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: able to relay that to all the other guys. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: as you know, David, you have some guys who are
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: always going to just say, even.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Though they hear the call, what's the call?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Get the wax out of your ear. You know what
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the call is. But to your point when it comes
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to Lane Kiffin, schematics. He understands, I'm going to take
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: this receiver and run him away from the leverage of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the cornerback. And when he runs you away from the cornerback,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you're going to be open. And that's exactly what they
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: did on that last play.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And he communicates it. And having the headset now is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: such a big deal. Like having that green dot of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: being able to call a couple of plays and what
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they're going to do.
