• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Man, we're here doing some film study with Bleacher Report
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and the best facility in the country. I know that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: whenever we look at these plays. This was last year
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and we have a new coordinator in Mac Leftwich. Tell
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about what you kind of feel
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: is different from Hitley's offense and Max offense.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a very explosive offense, a lot of
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: vertical choice game, you know, where you actually get the
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: backs involved with our past game two which makes some
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: two way go run our pos flats, deep vertical choice.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's a very explosive offense. It's gonna be
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun. There's gonna be a lot of
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: points score this year.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Man, I love that, and I can't wait to watch
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: these these plays right here because I think we're gonna
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: see some big time throws.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Also see some places that you fit the ball in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that kept your receiver out of harm's way. And then
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: one of the things too is, man, you give your
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: guys a chance to go make a play, and when
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you got playmakers, that's what you're supposed to do at quarterback.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, no doubt. Let's get into it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: All right, man, let's talk about some film.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: We got the Colorado game. It was awesome. Atmosphere is great.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: This was probably the loudest game, even louder than Year
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: one for me whenever we play Texas.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This was a really loud game.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Right here. Pre snap, when I'm looking at I'm seeing
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the leverage from this dB that's in the flat right here,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and I can tell that he's outside leverage.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not liking it. Pre snap, we got a fairly
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: friendly box.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Safety's at seven yards, so you know what, we got
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a good back.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So I'm taking our what I like.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: As the snap goes, I see that he bumps inside leverage,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and I know right there that there's a lot of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: grass open in the middle of the field for Josh
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to wrap that guy. I see the area, I see
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: where he's going. So my job makes it pretty easy,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: is just putting that ball right behind that flat defender
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: in a great catch by Josh before the safety gets
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to him.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a well executed play.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: All Right, here we go.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Play two.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: We got Arizona State at home, ran all Red, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I think the all Red is a good look. We
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: got to collect this year at home.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: For you know, we've never lost a game in this combination.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: So we got here. We got a motion he's gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: come back.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So what I'm reading right here, we got one two
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: mini in the box, so I'm seeing this guy pre snap.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: He's heavy, heavy in the fit. I know the run's
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: not good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So if I know if he plays the run and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: he squeezes on the run action, I know I had
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the skinny coming right behind that flat defender with CD,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and CD does a great job of finding the grass
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: doing what he's thought to do. This guy plays a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: good fit. CD does a good job finding grass. Now
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the second thing what I really liked about this throw was,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I see the pre snap. We got a
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: one high shell, so I'm reading that backside safety. He
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: starts sweeping a little bit. There's no reason to hit
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: him in the chest. He's gonna get hit, He's gonna
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: get hurt, so keep him below the belt line, keep
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: him safe. Fifteen yards. Moving on the next play. Here
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: we go, moving on to clip three. We got North
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Texas at home. This was a fun game. Eleven am kick,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was. It was a fun game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: We needed this one too. We just you know, we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: came off a rough one and I think we were
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: ready to play.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: We were we were pre snap. What I'm seeing here,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We got numbers over there. We don't like I see
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: one on one the safety's playing low.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: You know, Coy does a great job of knowing that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: this ball has a good chance of coming to him,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: so pre snap of reading this guy, he plays in
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the fit. Once he plays in the fit, automatically, I'm
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: getting the ball to playmaker. I think the dB doesn't
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: do a great job of having his eyes on me,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: so I know that he doesn't know where Coy is.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So all I have to do is just put that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ball over the top and let Coy go get it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I really believe though, that if you go back to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: your history with that guy, y'all have such a connection
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of throwing the back shoulder fade. You think about, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, how many first downs
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you've got. So you see right there, he's even with him,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: so he's probably thinking, Okay, I'm still a little bit
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on top of this route. So he's faced to go
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: back shoulder, and as soon as he stutters his feet,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you let it fly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Coy does a great job. Coy does a great job
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of catching this ball and going to score touchdown. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: got a question for you.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: What are some of the quarterbacks in the NFL that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you really look up to or you try to emulate.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I mean obviously Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, I mean the guy
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: that built this place for us. You know, he's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: great person off the field too, you know, getting a
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: text from him before the game wishing me good luck,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you know, to get that from you know, MVP of
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Super Bowls, the guy that played at Texas Tech.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: You know, I just think that they give back that
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: he gives this university is really cool.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: What kind of ad buyas? Does he giving you any advice? Yeah?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: He texted me for the first game in playing ACU
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and he was just hey, take it one play at
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a time, don't do too much, get the ball the playmakers,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: let them do the work.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: And so it's what I need to do.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: There's another guy that I know you like a lot,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and I believe it's Baker Mayfield.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: No doubt. Yeah, I love Baker. Well, you remind me
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of him because he's got so much juice. Yes, sir,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And I know that's what you do.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: At practice, Yes, sir, Yeah, I just love the swagger
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: that he plays with. You know, when he steps on
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the field, you know you're gonna get his best.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And I love that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Oh that's how you are, man. I love about you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Here we go play for We got Baylor at home,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: so we got two back. Right here, we got a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: little field corner playing. I'm thinking he's playing a cover
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: two cover two. Look, I have pretty bad eyes right here.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: When my eyes get off, get off, koy, I'm thinking
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm ripping the whole shot.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Corner lifts.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I put a ball in harm's way that wasn't needed
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to if you look pre snap, we got Jaalen in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the flat.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I should just take what I get.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you go back to a couple of things.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: One, the corner does a great job, and he plays
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cover two perfectly because you know you want to make
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you throw the check down. But I think your dad
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: always tells you. I mean, your dad's an ex coach
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and he was a great high school coach.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: What does he usually say to you?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Be needy, not greedy?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Be needy not greedy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And right there, you know you kind of didn't hear
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the old man's voice in your head and kind of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: put it in harm's way right there. But like you said,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I do think that the defense did a really good
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: job right there. But if you if you think about it,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: if you get it down to the checkdown, we're fixed
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to have a big play because you know Jalen in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: space is hard to tell.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He's a big guy. So now you're putting it to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: where they're gonna have.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: To make a vice tackle on Jalen with the outside
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: linebacker in the corner.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: All right, we got the Cincinnati game, Jones.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Nothing like good things having at night in the Jones.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt. This is a really fun game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: So what we got here, we're just seeing pre snap
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: with the motion. What kind of man zone indicator we get? Uh?
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Cooyd does a great job is setting up the guy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: We got play action.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So what I'm reading here on pre snap, I'm reading
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for levers. So Josh is running across the field. I'm
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: seeing if I have leverage to throw that Coy is
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: running a deep deep deep choice, so he has an
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: option to take him vertical. If he can't beat him
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: from the top, he's gonna shut it down. I think
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Coy does a great job of pushing, pushing, pushing, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: he hits the brakes to the top, comes back to
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the ball and makes a great play. And too on
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: top of it, I think Taj does a great job
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of sticking his nose in there and giving me just
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: that extra second that I needed to get the ball
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to Koy.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: But you know, at the quarterback position, what thing that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you've got to understand.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You gotta have a lot of courage because you're gonna
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: get hit here when you release that ball, no matter what,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get hit. Taj helps you out a little bit,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but that's one of those plays you got to stand
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in there, have a lot of courage and make the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: big throw.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Yes sir, and you do no doubt last one right here.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Playing TCU on the road atmosphere is pretty good, yep.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: The saddle game, saddle game, saddle game, big rivalry. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: pre snap, what I'm seeing here corners playing down safety
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is low. I like my one on one, so I'm
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: checking the protection pretty sure. We had a run call here,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I easy, easy get to a pass pro
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: and I'm just counting on CD to win. So here
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: checking up front checking, uh, flashing, give him a go ball.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: And on the snat, I see that this safety to squats,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: he's not getting any depth. He's standing there flat footed.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So I know this ball is going to CD. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just counting on him to win right here.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little flash fake right there to t to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: hold him.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And then this is a great ball, you know, because
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: at one you're giving your playmaker the ability to make
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a huge play.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: There's no way that the corner can play this ball.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And you know CD does a good job of throwing
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: his hands late on deep balls. You want to do that,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so it's harder for the corner, you know, to play
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: through the hands.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: But this is a great ball. Man.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I know you're not throwing the ball to Caleb Douglas.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It would be a lot easier if you were, because
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: he would go get it. But we're going to try
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to recreate this throw, so we're gonna give you five throws.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It's a thirty eight yard pass into the buckets. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: do it. Let's see what you got. Let's do it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Coach.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: There you go see. I hope we get this on
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: film too, because you look good today. You lift this morning.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: He must have got.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: We get to check in, so we want won't say
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the protection give them a little fade ball outside.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I know I'm going to him.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Go. Oh I love it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's close, it's close.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think CD is so tall he would have gotten
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to that coach for sure. Yeah, Oh I love it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I love it. Nobody else. Oh, I love the placement
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: on every one of these, though. I think we got
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a shot on everyone else.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Gotta stay.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Here we go, come on, splash down. Oh, I guarantee
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you he catches that ball. I promise you, he catches
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that ball right now, right here.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go. That's freaking ghost coach.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: There you go, let's go.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Good job, baby, good job. I love it. I love it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That was all every one of those.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I think the first one might not have got it,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: might have been out of bounce. After that, I think
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we got a shot. I had a great time. This
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: was a blast. Uh doing this with Bleacher Report.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome. Thanks thanks for Bleach Report having
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: us out. We had a great time. Hopefully another film
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: session soon, no.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Doubt, and we're gonna have some great ones.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Mmmm hmmmm
