• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Where the plays get broken down and science gets denied.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Dude, they said I gotta come off the bench.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench, live from the Raising
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Cane Studio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in OTB.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Jake, Flynn, Alondra, Tay-Tay all here with you in the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Raising Cane studio.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: We take a look at LSU versus Mississippi State.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: It's coming up at 11 a.m.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: On Saturday.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Right now, ESPN matchup predictor gives LSU a 76.8% chance
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: to win the game. We've talked about the spread all
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: week long. It's up to 14 and a half. There's
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: now a hook on that 14. It opened up at
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: 12 and a half. So a lot of us are
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: coming to the conclusion that points to Las Vegas thinking
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: Camario Taylor is going to be out for the game. Now,
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Fluff Bothwell, we don't know if he's going to be
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: out as well. They were both on the injury report,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: and they were questionable. And if I'm Mississippi State, there
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: is no way that I'm giving any information outside of questionable.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: I am making LSU prepare for Taylor and Bothwell, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: we'll see if they end up playing again with this
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: number being what it is. Because let's not forget, Mississippi
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: State's number 16.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: In the country. LSU's 22nd in the country.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: The only reason this would be anywhere close to where
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: the line is is they believe that Kamario Taylor is
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: not going to play in this game. Now, if he
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: does play, then the question turns to, okay, well, what
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: is his health? Can he be the guy that he's
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: been for them so far? Because we talked about it yesterday,
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: 17 touchdown passes already.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: He has been an electric player to watch effortlessly.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: Effortlessly is a great word, man. His footwork's really good.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: He just looks frustratingly, especially for a young guy, 19
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: years old.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Except for frustratingly poised in the pocket. So if he
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: doesn't play, that's a huge blow. I was looking at
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: the stats yesterday because I was getting things ready for
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: a slide, which is still working on.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: He is leading.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: he's number three in the country and played one less
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: game than most people. Number three in the country and
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: passing touchdowns at 17, number one in the sec.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And he's played one less game than people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: He's eight. The schedule that they've played too.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: They've already played, you know, Alabama, Missouri, South Carolina, Minnesota
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: on the road was one of their games.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: So like, I'm not saying this was big 10 school.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: You went on the road. Like the only game that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: You've played, that is like money game is Louisiana Monroe.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: He's, He's fifth in the country points responsible for, which
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: is 114 points. He's responsible for 114 points. That's number
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: one in the SEC. Eighth, number one in the SEC
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: in passing yards per game at averaging 290. Pass efficiency,
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: 11th in the country, second in the SEC. Passing yards, again,
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: this is one less game than everybody. 24th in the country,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: third in the SEC in passing yards per game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: So, like, when... I say he's effortless. He's effortless.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: But he's also getting the option to throw it a lot.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: A stat that shocked me yesterday I was looking at
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: was year to date, Mississippi State has run 381 total
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: plays on offense.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: 381.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: 168 of those plays have been RPOs. 168, by far,
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: number one in the country in the FBS. 168, so
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: 44% of your off, every time the center snaps the ball,
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: has a run pass option to it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That was a shocking stat to me.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: I don't have LSU's percentage to compare it. I can
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: get that, but that was wild behavior. Yeah, so their
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: offense is built around it. And based on that, 113
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: of those have been runs. 55 of those passes. So
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: it's not like they're just necessarily passing all the time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: It is truly run, pass, option. Run first, pass second.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Which we talk about all the time on Eye in
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the Sky when we're breaking down film.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: We pointed out the R portion comes first. It is
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: a run option. And if the count's right, what do
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: you do, Matt?
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: If the count's right, you run the ball. You run it,
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: you run it, you run it, you run it until
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: they take the run away. And then you throw it
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: as an answer for that. Just so you don't create
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: a negative play, but... Total on the season, they have
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: 161 runs. So 42% of their, all of their offensive
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: plays have been a run. 113 of those 161 runs
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: have come off of RPO. So there's not, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: the majority of times they run it is through an RPO.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: About a third of the time they are lining up
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: and actually just handing it off on a run that
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: doesn't have an option. And probably a lot of that
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: is QB scrambles. A lot of that is probably, um,
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: short yardage goal line situations where they're just calling it
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: and running it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: And I don't know what they call a QB scramble.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: They can't call it an RPO. I mean, it's not
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: an RPO.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: No.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: It's an OB. He tried to pass and now I'm
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: going to run.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: And obviously he's got a lot of those as well. Anyway,
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: I found that very interesting. That is, and I was,
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: I haven't been, I told.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Y'all yesterday was a day.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: I didn't get to like jump in the film room
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: as much as I wanted to yesterday and watch Mississippi state,
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: but I've watched a few drives of theirs. And I
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: was like, man, they're really starting out funny. Like every
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: single one of these plays is an RPO. Every single one. Well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: it checks out the entire season. It's 44% of every
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: single snap they've run on offense has been a run
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: pass option.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: It's wild behavior. Shocking stat.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: I mean, that just tells me that that's what they're all.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: If you would have told me somebody was 20%, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: would have been like, that's a lot.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: They're 44%.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: But I'll be honest with you. Like when I hear that,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: but I know what they're trying to get done. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: don't even mind it. Remember last year, LSU offensively was
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: running some RPOs, but there was like no threat of
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: like Garrett keeping it like that, that portion of it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: And it really felt like, well, I know, but I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: saying like to the defense, the defense doesn't know that
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: it's a straight RPO. They like, With Kamario Taylor, you
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: have to worry about zone read, too. You know what
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I'm saying?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Does that make sense?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: So, like, they don't know what it is. Now, you
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: do watching the film. But, like, that's an added layer.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: For me, if I'm a defender, like, that's an added layer. Now,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: I know they run RPOs because I have tape, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: we do it. But I'm like, man, if Kamario pulls
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: that thing at first when you think, could this.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Be a zone read?
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: But, like, that's what you add to running RPOs. Like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: you add another layer to it. So, if you have
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: a guy that can't, do that, then you can take
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: something off the board. You can just focus in on that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: When LSU did it, it was like, okay, this is
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: an RPO.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: It's not going to be.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: He does a nice job of... He's so tall, upright,
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: when he takes a shotgun snap. He's got very little movement.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: When he drops back to pass, he catches it, he
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: drops back, his foot works first read, second read, third read.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: He's not moving up in the pot. He is standing there.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Even when he hands it off, he catches it, stand
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: straight up he hands it but then he like pops
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: back up like he's throwing it yeah right so everything
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: he does kind of looks the same which does like
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: make your linebackers and safeties and have to hesitate a
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: little bit even if he hands it off you got
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: to watch that ball man you got to watch the
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: ball you can in the shotgun that's the disadvantage you
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: have in shotgun is like you never get to turn
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: your back away from the defense so you can't ever
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: like hide the ball so as a deep defensive coaches
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: and defensive players, man, you just got to watch the ball,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: stay disciplined. But, like, look, we're talking a lot about
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: Camario because of how great he's been. Odds are he's
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: not going to play. Based off the line, yeah. Based
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: off the line, which is crazy. But who is playing
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: is Anthony Evans, their receiver.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: My God.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: I wasn't familiar with his game. Dude's averaging almost 115
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: yards per game.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: He's only had one game where he hasn't had 100 yards.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Seven.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: He's ranked seventh. In the country, yards per game. First
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: in the SEC. Receptions per game. He's third in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: country in FBS in receptions per game at eight. Number
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: one in the SEC. And he's 10th in the country
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: in receiving yards with one less game than everybody. He's
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: got 574 yards. 10th in the country with one less game.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. Pretty good.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: He's going to get the football early and often. Puckett,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: the quarterback, if that is, in fact, who plays.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: He is going to find Mr.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Evans.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: And if he doesn't, then that's an advantage for LSU.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: And what's funny is, like, people always say, man, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: got to die.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Receiver. They're finding ways to get on the ball. Like,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you do.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: Like, you do find ways to get people the ball. But, like,
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: your whole game plan is not built around it. You
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: can't just line them up and be like, you're going
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: to throw it to this guy. Like, it's got to
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: be within the play. Now, you can do things as
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: an offensive coordinator to get them advantageous matchups. I try
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: to get them on a back or try to get
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: them on a safety, try to do this and put
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: them like maybe the number one option and a lot
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: of routes. But just because you do that, you could
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: have this big game plan designed to go to one
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: specific receiver. Any at the end of the, like the
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: defense made adjustments and he's got one catch at the
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: end of the game. Or you can have this game
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: where you didn't think anybody, you didn't think a guy
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: was going to, you know, maybe a couple of plays
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: he's got an opportunity, but then he ends up ends
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: the game with 11 catches for one 80.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: You just, you can't force the ball anywhere.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: But what they, what does happen is your receivers, if
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: you start giving one-on-one coverage, they just start winning their one-on-ones.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Like, but if a team's going to play shell on
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: you and play zone, it's like, well, if he gets the,
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: if he gets the ball, great, but we can't really
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: do anything to force it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: I was going to say like, the only thing you
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: can kind of do is, all right, this is their coverage.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: This is who they are. This is what they like
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: to run.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: And then you find a way to get your receiver
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: in that spot for that route, you know, the route
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: that you want to have against the coverage beater.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: And then that becomes a chess match of, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: motioning man, lining him up there. It was the adjustment
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: from the defensive coordinator, so.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: What I think you have to do, and again, I'm
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: talking a lot about if Camario's playing, like, I think
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: you have to be aggressive. I think you've got to
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: put pressure on him. No one's got to tell Blake
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: to be aggressive. He's going to be aggressive, but. You've
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: got to be aggressive. You have to be willing to
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: take chances and play man-to-man. I saw Missouri sit back,
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: not bring any pressure, play shell coverage. And when I
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: say shell, too high safety. So some swimmers would cover two, quarters, quarter, quarter, half.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: And they just walked right down the field doing RPOs.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Hand it, throw it, hand it, throw it, hand it,
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: throw it. And they just let them. It was like
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: they were trying to play bend, don't break, but they
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: just continuously got broke.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: And he had, like, two great touchdown passes by the
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: end of the first quarter.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: So, like, it's one of those things. You've got to
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: be aggressive.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: You know, certainly pick your spots to be aggressive on
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: the field based on down and distance and momentum of
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: the game and things like that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Know when to push, know when to pull.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: But you can't just sit back and shell coverage because
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: they're going to run the ball. I mean, it seems
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: like they've got a good enough offensive line to drive
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: people off the ball. defensive line on the other side
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: look pretty decent as well. So, like, it's one of
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: those things. You have to play your game no matter
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: who the quarterback is and be aggressive. And based on
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: all these RPOs, you've got to make them throw it
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: into press coverage, into one-on-ones.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Inside the chat, let's just make sure that we don't
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: run more prevent coverage.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Was that a joke? I think it might be. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: hope it is. Go watch out on this guy.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Just because you see cover three, that's like prevent. If
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: you actually want to define it, it's more about depth
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: and leverage and your rush and the situation. Your defensive
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: back's aligning deeper than normal. They protect against those explosives
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: for the leverage. Defenders keeping receivers in front of them
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: rather than contesting underneath routes. When you say prevent, just
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: The only thing I ever ask is, when you say that,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I'm going to ask you how to define it, and
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: you've got to tell me how to define it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: Besides the one in the middle on Madden football game
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: that says prevent.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: True. There's a good one. I don't know what it is, but, man,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: it's going to prevent it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: It says it right here in the title.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: It says it right here. Prevent.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Like, if it's like a cover eight situation, then I'll
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: give you prevent. Like three under, five over the top.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: I'll give you that. But if you see cover three and.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: You're like, oh, prevent, prevent. Oh, it depends on where
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the depth is. Where's their leverage? What's the situation?
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Same thing.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Same thing with quarters.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Basic. Like you run cover three the whole game. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: a lot of things.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And again, they beat you on mesh concepts.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Kentucky beat you on mesh concepts where you were playing
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: man or playing press and they were meshing. And so
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: you try to get, they were, they were winning. So you,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: You try to play different coverages, and you can take
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: hitches outside. I mean, they were giving us hitches all game.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: We just stopped taking them. And also, they also had
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: some hitch routes on press man-to-man coverage. They just ran
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: good routes and snapped it off.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the one in the fourth quarter that we showed
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: an eye in the sky, number seven from Kentucky, was
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: a good route. He came back, caught the ball, went
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: back to the ball, then had a plan as he
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: caught the ball, made one guy miss, picked up three
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: extra yards.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Didn't get the first down. That was press. That was
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: man coverage.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And then we did stop them on that fourth down,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: but we shouldn't have. They had a walk-in tether.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Because I believe we were playing man against the mesh,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: and that's why they got away from that.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Go check it out.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I made good throws.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Right, you are.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: His best, like, five throws of the game were. That's 5-3.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Fourth quarter.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: He didn't have any touchdowns, but like, ooh, boy.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He got you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: All right. We'll take a break.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: We'll continue talking a little LSU Mississippi State. We've got
• 15:33

• 17:27
  Speaker 6: And I didn't even know that was going to be
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: an effect from the screen. Ktozblinds.com. Ktozblinds.com.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: All right, let's take a look real quick at Mississippi
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: State's defense. I know a lot of the conversation because
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: of how good they are on offense, because of their quarterback,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: because of the health situation of their best quarterback, their
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: best running back. It's been Mississippi State on offense. Let's
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: take a look at where they're at on defense. Now,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: this is a team that doesn't get after the quarterback
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: at an elite level. They don't have one guy. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: think their leading sack guy is two and a half
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: sacks on the year. They don't have one guy that's
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: going to take over a game. They've got 13 sacks
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: on the year. Right now that's 13th in the SEC. Interceptions,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: they have two on the season. So they don't have
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of takeaways on the season. They give up,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: let's see, through the air. Let's see what they give
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: up through the air. 260 yards per game through the air.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: That is right now 15th in the SEC. So there
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: is now, and again, this isn't like, because they played
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: one less game, this is an average per game.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: So they'll give up plays through the air.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: That is a place where I think LSU can take advantage.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Now, look, you gotta be careful.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: We all understand that, but Mississippi state on the ground
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: is about the middle of the pack when it comes
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: to the SEC. Uh, there are, 124.3 yards per game
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: given up on the ground. They've given up 10 rushing
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: touchdowns to kind of compare. LSU gives up 74.5 yards
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: per game. Average per carry, Mississippi State's at 3.6. Let's
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: call it 3.6. LSU's at 2.5 per rush. Now, you
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: can make some hay on the ground, but it does
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: feel like your best way for success is going to
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: be through the air. Now, what does that look like
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: for LSU? Is it going to be drop-back passes from
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Sam Levitt? Is it going to be RPOs from Sam Levitt?
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Is it going to be moving him outside the pocket?
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: We've got to see.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: But I think there is, in this game, an opportunity
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: to get the Sam Levitt that you saw in the
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: second half against Texas A & M.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: They don't– look, again, 13.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: In the SEC as far as getting after the quarterback
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: they give up a lot of passing yards you can
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: sit in the pocket now the pocket's gonna look it's
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: gonna close in on you we saw that against A
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: & M and Sam didn't run because he couldn't he
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: delivered the ball down the field there was a couple
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: times in the Kentucky game.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Delivered the ball down the field took a hit Not
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: a shot, but took a hit.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I think that's the best way to go about this
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: game against Mississippi State. I think you can beat them
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: through the air. Again, they are 15 out of 16
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: teams at passing yards per game at 260. That's where
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: you can make some hay, and I do think it
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: is by dropping back, having good protection, allowing your receivers
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: to win, and delivering the football.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Offense has, I feel like, been pretty consistent throughout the season.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Even the bad games, you still move the ball. You
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: still figured out how to make big plays. I was
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: very encouraged by Sam's hamstring this past weekend.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: LSU, total yards-wise, is still number one in the SEC. Yeah.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: By 50 yards.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: Just because we've lost two games doesn't mean the offense
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: has been a a disappointment by any means they've been,
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: they've been good. I think the frustrating part is they
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: could be really good.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: If it's a little bit more consistent and we've seen
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: that if Sam, if you get a little bit more
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: consistent play from Sam, like it looks so good. That
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: game going through his reads when he hurt his hamstring.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Like so good.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: That is actually, that's helped them. That's been a benefit.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: And you saw it this week. They just didn't have
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: as many open guys this past weekend. They didn't have
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: as many, Now, he reverted back a little bit to
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: being a little hoppy, being a little bit rushed towards
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the end of the game on some, but it is
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: still so much better than it was at the beginning.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yes. He still has to learn to count.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: Got to count to three, got to count to four,
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: and again, a lot of improvement. We're still midway through
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: the season. There's been a lot of improvement over the
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: last couple of weeks in that RPO game of making
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: sure he does hand it. Now, I didn't really love
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: a lot of the scheme in the running game that
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: we used this past weekend. I explained that a lot
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: in the eye in the sky, the film breakdown. But
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: I didn't love the scheme that we were using. We
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: weren't going downhill enough and just like, let's go run duo.
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: Let's go run outside zone. Let's go run it like,
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: let's run iso. Let's get up on those backers fast.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: We were doing a lot more pulling and pulling tackles,
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: pulling centers, pulling guards, a lot of double pulls, a
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: lot of counters, things like that. And it wasn't like
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: those things are good and those things can work. But
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: especially early in the game, to me, it's a lot
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: to sort out when the defense is flying around in
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: an electric atmosphere. In an electric atmosphere, those linebackers and
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: defensive ends, they just run faster.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: They do. They can play with their hairs on fire.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: They play downhill.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: So when you're pulling two tackle, like a tackle in
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: the center, a tackle in a guard, or a tackle
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: in a tight end to one side, And having to
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: sort out like six different defenders with receivers trying to
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: figure out who exactly they're– like all this, the scheme
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: has to be perfect.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Like everybody's got.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: And when it matches up, it usually– It's beautiful. It's
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: a big hitter. It's beautiful.
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: But if one out of your seven or eight guys
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: that are blocking make one mistake, they get their eyes
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: in the wrong place or somebody misheard the mic declaration,
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: that is in a loud environment, in a loud on-the-road environment,
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: who is six yards from the center. Who's making the
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: call in a loud environment. That's why you go silent count. Well,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: you go silent count a lot of times because you
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: can't hear the snap count, right? Because the quarterback is
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: in shotgun and he's six yards, five yards away from
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: the lineman. The center is the one making Mike declarations
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: who sets everybody's assignment. That one Mike declaration sets everybody's
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: assignment in that blocking scheme. Well, a tight end, who's split,
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: not split out as a wide receiver, but maybe he's
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: got like a two-yard split from the tackle, he's five
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: or six yards away from that center. The same amount
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: of distance as a quarterback is from the line when
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: they go silent count. But you can't silent count a
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: mic declaration. That has to be relayed through everybody to
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: him to let him know what the assignment is. If
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: he doesn't get it in a loud environment, and he doesn't,
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: He's trying to clear himself almost. Then somebody's going to
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: go free. And I think that was some of the
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: issues in the running game this past weekend. Tough running
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: plays the run in a noisy environment. Sometimes it's just like,
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: let's get up and run it. Let's double team to
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: the Mike. Let's double team to the Sam. Let's lead
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: up with our tight end. And we did that a
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: little bit in the second half, and it was successful.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: I just was hoping that that was a little bit
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: more of the strategy going into the game.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I got a little bit long.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, to your point, I mean, even in
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: pass protection, like what Matt's talking about, how important it
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: is to declare the right mic or make sure everybody's
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: on the same page. Like, if I'm in a pass
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: protection and the offensive line has the four down linemen
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: and then the mic linebacker, that doesn't mean it's the
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: guy that is labeled the mic in the pregame when
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: you list the starters. That's not what that means. It
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: means it could be the Will, it could be the Sam, hell,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: it could be the Nickel Sam, it could be whatever.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: My protection, let's call it, it's the will linebacker, right?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: For some reason they go backside.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Well, then, then I have the true, the guy that's
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: labeled as the mic, but he's not the mic in
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: this play. I've got him, I've got the corner, I've
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: got both safeties. I got the backside corner. And that
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: tells me who I have. Now, if I tried to
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: declare it myself and I said, Oh, the guy on
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: my side, that's the mic. And when the will comes,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I know the offensive line declared him as the mic.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: And so then I'm going to be wrong. So you
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: have to get that. And it's based off of the
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: center or the quarterback, or sometimes when Helms and Flynn
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: would fight on the field.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: You'd try to, hey, guys, just tell me which one's
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: the mic.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shut up, Brett. I'm the quarterback. Listen to me.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: You did say that often.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: We got in some arguments.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: We had some conversations.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: But it is very important to your point. And it
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: did feel like that maybe didn't happen. And so like,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm not saying 10 plays.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: It's hard.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: It's hard to happen when you're coordinating that many people
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: inside the box. So inside that tackle box. And, um, anyway, it's,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: it is what it is. It's in the past now.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: It's not what, you know, we were hoping to see
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: in the running game, but I think that improves. Like
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: you were so close on so many different running plays
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: this past weekend. And I know it doesn't like close
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: means Jack squat. Um, when it comes to wins and losses,
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: but the team's improving, whether you like it or not,
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: the team is getting better. Sam is getting better. And
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: I look for that, that rise. I look for them
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: to continuously get better as well. And again, like, look,
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: you can be doomsday. I know I don't want to
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: have two losses. Just like they don't want to have
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: two losses. Just like you don't want them to have
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: two losses, but you've lost two games in the sec
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: on the road, nine points, total of nine points.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: So it's close. It's not there. Right. It's close.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: And they're fighting their ass off. And they got multiple
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: guys that have been out that were on All-American trajectories.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: So it's been a big loss.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: And that's what I mean.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: But they continue to fight. They're fighting the entire game.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: They are, which is not something you could say a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: year ago. That's why this one, this last week or so,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: because it's like, I mean, you get Kentucky.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: And then Mississippi State, if they don't have Mario Taylor,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: you feel okay. Auburn right now is trying to figure
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: themselves out. Like, you could get to the bye week,
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: and then you maybe get some of those guys back. But, look,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: ain't nobody going to feel sorry for you. You got
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: two losses. You still got to go out there and
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: beat Mississippi State and Auburn. You got to get to
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: that bye week, and you got to get to that
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: bye week where.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: No more losses.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Because if you want to have a chance, if you
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: want to get Trey Desgreen back, if you want to maybe,
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: maybe get what week's back at some point, you got
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: to keep winning. You got to keep winning, and you
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: got to give yourself a chance. So that's why these
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: next two games, I mean, must win to say the least.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: And that's the obvious statement.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: All right, we'll take a break. More OTB.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: We've got Matt wants to talk about some coverages. I
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: know you've got some questions inside the chat. We'll get
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: to some of that. He's got his quarterback rankings. We've
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: got Chef Michael Johnson. A lot still to get to
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: here on OTB Live from the Raising Cane Studio.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Off the bench.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: All right, plumbing problems never show up at a convenient time,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: and that's why you need the job done right.
• 28:23

  Speaker 6: Hand All right, welcome back in.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: OTV here live from the Raising Cane studio. A lot
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: of chatter in the chat.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's what it's for.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: About coverages.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: And someone asked a question about prevent coverages and almost
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: said it like they knew exactly.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: What it was.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: And it's been a pet peeve of mine this week
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: because it's just not the case. Now, there's coverages that
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: could be considered prevent. Now, Like cover, like I said,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: cover eight, like three underneath, five over the top, like
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: that one. But like cover three, cover four, it's a
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: lot about depth. It's about technique. It's about situation and
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: different things. And Matt's going to break it down, kind
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: of what we're talking about. And we talked about this
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: a little bit on Eye in the Sky, that last
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: drive for Kentucky in regulation. Like there was tighter windows
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: than you probably remember, and it was a really good
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: quarterback series by Kenny Minchie. But here's kind of what
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: we're talking about when it comes to coverages and cover three,
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: cover four, whatever.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so prevent is a, I think it's an easy-to-use
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: term when you're giving them passes in zone and you see,
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: and a lot of times people say, well, why is
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: the corner backed off so much? Like, why are we
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: giving up the hitch route or that stop route outside?
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Or why are we giving up a curl route?
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Whatever it is.
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: Like, zone coverages has, you know, you got guys that are,
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: playing in zones. They don't necessarily have a guy. They
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: have a space. They have a zone of the field.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: That's for the name. Everybody understands that we all get that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: So it's not necessarily like a linebacker covering a receiver,
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: but if a receiver is in a linebacker's place, that's
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: what becomes the case. And so what offenses try to do,
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: of course, you're trying to exploit those zones.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: You know, where there's.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: People are supposed to be and you know, where the,
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: the windows are, you know, where the holes are, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: where the gaps are, you know, Like, if you're a quarterback,
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: that's why you see no-look passes from, like, the best
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: in the NFL. They know where guys are supposed to be,
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: so if they look them off one direction, they know
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: it creates a weakness behind that area. So I think
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: it's easy to, I'm not even going to say misinterpret, because, like,
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: what you're trying to interpret when you say prevent is, like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: why are we giving up these passes? Like, why are
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: we giving up these passes underneath? Like, let's go press them.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: Let's play man-to-man. Let's get in their faces, get in
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: their grills. Like, why are we giving them that situation? Well,
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of different zones you can play. There's
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: a lot of different coverages you can play, and every
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: single one has weaknesses. There's not one single thing a
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: defense can do that doesn't have some.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Sort of weakness.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: And sometimes, like, you get lucky as a play caller
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: on offense, and you have a play call that's designed
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: to exploit a weakness. Like, that's not even on purpose.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: But sometimes you've got a quarterback that understands the weaknesses
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: and can take advantage of those things.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: So.
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: I just want to show you a little bit about,
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: we were talking, there was some cover three conversation in
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: the chat. So I wanted to kind of break down
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: just cover three in general. And there's a good clip
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: of it. This is the last, Taylor, pull up my
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: screen if you would. Like there's this, this is the
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: last drive to tie the game for Kentucky at the
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: end of the game. And it is, we're going to
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: play it here. So this is a good, just like
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: basic cover three clip. We call this, I would call
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: this three week. Why do I call that three-week? Because
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: we've got a safety that's going to roll down weak
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: side here. So he's playing. The safety's playing weak. He's
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: not coming. If it was just regular three, this linebacker
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: would stay inside, and he would come down. The safety
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: would come down outside. Now, if it was three buzz,
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: he would go outside. Ooh, that's not out here. He
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: would go outside, and he would come inside. So those
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: are just variations that cover three. But Taylor, is this
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: being shown?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: We good?
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Taylor, can we get that on the back screen, too?
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: All right, so cover three is basically what it means.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: It's like you've got three people covering a deep third.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: That's where the three comes from. So you've got a
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: free safety who's in charge of this third. You've got
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: a corner that's in charge of this deep third. And
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: you've got this corner in charge of this deep third. Now,
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: their job is not to cover stop routes outside. Their
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: job is not to cover hitch routes outside. That's the
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: curl flat defender. The curl flat defender is in charge
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: of this zone. This curl flat defender up here in
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: charge of this zone. These guys are called, uh-oh. These
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: guys are called hook defenders. My son's texting me.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Let me put Do Not Disturb up.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: What's Huck talking about?
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: What up, Huck? He's got this.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: He made up this PowerPoint he wants me to show
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: on air. So he's like, do it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Do it, Dad. Love it. All right. So the weaknesses
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: of this are outside early.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: So quick game early, taking hitches before this guy can
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: get out of here. The other weak spot is the
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: seam route right here.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: So this corner's job is to back up, and if
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: this guy runs a seam, he's going to overlap him.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if that guy right there. Now, if he goes vertical,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: the guy on the outside, then you've got to take
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: him man.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: In this situation for the corner we're talking about.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Like Matt's talking about, though, if that guy runs a
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: hitch and this guy runs a seam, then that corner,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: he's got to get over the top, and he's got
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: to do it pretty quick.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: So as y'all can see, we have these three guys
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: right here covering the deep third. We've got our curl
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: flat defenders. This guy is not getting out. He is
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: this guy. So the slot defender is going to run
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: a little hitch right there, which consumes him.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: It consumes that defender.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: So which leaves a window where there's a window right here.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Cover three. It's not his job. It's not this guy's
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: job to press this guy. Right.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: The mistake here is just eyes. Eyes by one person.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Right there.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: That's all those mistakes. But you got to give credit
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: to Kentucky, too. With the play call, this is really hard.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: So these two guys right here, one and two, these
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: guys are called hook players in cover three. They got
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: all these hook routes over the middle, but you got
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: to stay on your side in cover three. This tight
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: end right here crosses his face, which turns his back
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: that way for just enough time to let a window
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: pop open. And quarterback does a great job, and they
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: hit a pass behind him. So it's a really good play.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: by the quarterback to find it, to see it, and
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: just one small, small mistake right here in cover three.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: That's the one unsound. Because the tight end crossed face, right?
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: The tight end crosses his face. And I know if
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: you're just listening on radio, it's hard to kind of envision.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to explain it as best I can, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: there was a lot of questions, so I just wanted
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: to answer it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to talk a little bit about X's
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: and O's right here.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Matt, it's such a good point because those extra steps
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: and that one eye violation creates that small window.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: So, again, this isn't like, oh, prevent. No, no, no.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: It is the coverage got out of place by three
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: steps and one eye violation, and that's where the window
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: is to throw the football.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: And so here's, like, a weakness of this is it's
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: in a three-by-one set. So even backside. So the safety,
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: this is three weeks. The safety's coming down weak, and
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: he's got curl flat, right?
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Like, they could take a hitch route right now. Right now, yeah. Right,
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: and that's what quarterbacks are taught.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: And if he doesn't, if this guy widens out, To
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: cover him, you've got a check down right there, which
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: stresses this guy. This guy now has to choose this
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: or he's got to cover this behind it. So, like,
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: this is what offensive court, this is the chess game.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: This is, like, really good players. This is where the
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Charles Woods and the Troy Polamalis, they would show you
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: one thing and they would bail out to another thing. Like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: it's a game within the game. It's eye control. It's
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: eye discipline. The offense is always going to have answers
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: for you, but the defense, you just have to read
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: and react. And one little mistake by quarterback playing really,
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: really well is all that it takes.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: And he made a bunch of, a couple plays like this.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: All right. That's a breakdown of.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: That much.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Sometimes it's that much.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: It's the six inches in front of your face.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: And like, One of the things that Whit Weeks was
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: really good at, I actually think it was, I think
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: the best part, now he's a good blitzer and does
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: good against the run. He's really good in coverage, being
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: able to kind of be what Matt's talking about, to
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: kind of be that playmaker, to kind of make up for,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: like if he had a step the wrong way, like
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: he had enough twitch in his hips where he could
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: kind of turn it and try to get back right there,
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: you're not dealing with that right now. So like you
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: have to be on every single aspect of the coverage,
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: and you can't take the bait. Like, T.J. Daugherty's got
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: really good hips. Like, he can do that. So you
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: have to know your limitations, too. You have to know
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: who you are as a player. And I'm not saying
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: that just picking on one player. Like, me, Matt, anybody
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: that's ever played the game. You've got to understand thyself.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: And I think that's really one of the spots you're
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: missing what weeks the most is being able to be
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: in coverage and kind of turn your hips and go
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: make a play.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, that was a perfect example of cover three.
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: It's how you draw it. That's how I was drawn up.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: It's just they drew up a really nice play. They
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: made a very nice play. You make one little mistake
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: here or there, that's the difference.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: We will take a break. We've got more OTB coming
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: your way. Got some quarterback rankings.

  Speaker 3: hurtled over.
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: Notice he didn't have any Gatorade on there.
