[MUSIC PLAYING] We're back, Jay Forman, DP, Austin Orman. We're back at the top of the five o'clock hour. We're old school, brought to you by the Mercado. Certified Piedmontese special ingredients, a butcher shop, four locations both here in Lincoln, in Omaha. Obviously, we're diving into the new addition of Coach Dana as the offensive coordinator. What it means, what it's going to look like, nobody knows, and everybody's going to be sitting on pins and needles, and everybody's going to have instant evaluation every single series, every single pass. It's going to be funny if everybody that's going to be covering the game and watching the game at home or wherever they watch it, I'm Saturday at 3 p.m. It's going to have plenty of opinions and probably don't know anything what they're talking about. But more-- Why are you going to say that to my face, right? Dead. Well, I mean, because the only person that knows the offense and what needs to happen is him. I mean, and then obviously the players, hopefully. And now, see, he's known as the air rate. Now, I do not think-- I guess I'm assuming. I don't know him at all. But I'm going to tell you like this. He was one of my favorite coaches when he was at West Virginia Houston. I felt like his team-- he did more with less. He recruited a lot of really good players. And then, to the contrary, he recruited a lot of Florida kids, and he put a lot of kids at the next level, which is the NFL. He developed kids, and he had an eye for talent. Obviously, he developed guys. So I assume he's going to do the same here. Now, he's known for the air rate, right? And obviously, he's coached some legendary players, Michael Crabtree, Tree, Daniel Mendoza, Avon Austin. I mean, I'll tell you this. I know Will Greer and his dad pretty well. They run pretty much like a-- they're at Providence Day in Charlotte, which essentially, they're able to recruit. And they're probably a level of class C1, maybe B. And they are just blitzing everybody, right? Any former Panther and all that, their kids go there. Will Greer was a pretty good quarterback in college. And had a good arm. One say he was limited, but he had a pretty good arm. He didn't have a patch of my home's arms. But I'm going to tell you what Coach Danny was able to do. With him, let's you know that he's able to get the most out of the quarterbacks, and he probably will be getting-- well, when you've got a talent like Dylan, that bodes well. I will tell you this. They ran the ball more effective than people getting credit for, ran it out of different personnel groups. But like I always said, you can become physical two ways, right? Having the pipeline, being able to just blow guys out of the way. And then I would see full backs and tight ends and all that stuff and execute and have it be very efficient in offense. Or you can create numbers, advantage, or angles, and become physical out on the edge. So it's going to be interesting what he does that way. I do not think he's going to try to come in and throw it 50 times in the Big Ten. Yeah, I'm with you there. You know, I think in the Big 12-- I'll tell you this-- in the Big 12 back when they would-- it seemed like they'd always played Oklahoma on like a Saturday night, right, in Morgantown. And everybody would be moonshined up. You had to throw it, because you had to keep up. It just came down to who could get that one stop, you know, in the Big 12 back then. And then when he was down in Houston, it was a little bit different. It's a different conference. It just kind of depends on who you played. So, you know, I think for him, he's going to just curtail his offense, you know, to, you know, the personnel. And maybe, you know, game by game. Well, I mean, he's-- again, I was saying here before, he's a bit of a sniper when it comes to identifying defense's point of weakness. Point of weakness. Yeah. Like, Houston had athletes, but they never had, in that era, guys that just were so physically dominant, but they were precise. They were precise. His work with Cam, his work with at the camps, he would go down-- he would go to Houston proper. And if you ever found your way at a Houston quarterback and receivers camp, it don't look like nothing you see here. There are some cats out there. His ability to put them in the best place. Time and place against whatever defense they were running. Did some really good seven on seven work? Yeah. But also, did some really good-- it's not schematic. It was cerebral. Heat gave an understanding of what you should be looking for as a quarterback and receiver. You're not just running route. You're attacking the defense. And there's a difference between an offensive coach who teaches you to run a play and somebody who teaches you how to play. Are you a football robot or a football player? Yep. Like, do you know-- Do you know when to play? It's one another no-no concept to the why. And that tells you, again, that's where the creativity and the problem someone comes into play is, hey, this is what I have to do. Now, how do I accomplish? Yep. Here's what we're trying to accomplish. Here's the space. Look, I'm going to occupy Jay Foreman on the edge. I need you to be smart behind him. Get in a window, knowing that there's a window I need to look for, too, that sometimes the window should be outside of Jay, rather than inside, because there's another meat eater inside of Jay. And I'm not trying to go in there. And if I miss, if I throw it off and it goes off a hand or a high throw, it's an interception. If I get to the slot and make Jay be more athletic, if it's a bad throw, we'll reload again. And he's really good at communicating that sort of stuff. And that's something I have hope in. Yeah, I mean, I think with him, I mean, first of all, we want to hold it-- well, he's from Davenport, Iowa. Yeah, that part. But which actually isn't good, because that's actually closer to Chicago. And he's a how-mummy disciple. Now, when you think about him, and you think about receivers, right, and obviously with my Texans, he coached and recruited, coached, and developed Tank Dell. OK, Tank Dell, he was in line to maybe be offensive rookie a year until you got hurt. So that lets you know the eye for talent. He had plenty of other guys that he was able to do. So his ability to identify talent, but then also develop, but then also it's not just one body type. Here's why I'm saying it. When he was at West Virginia, he had a wide receiver. Last name is Stills. David Stills. Cold blooded. This kind of looked like the-- I would say looked like a librarian. Tall, white dude, put in work. And he put him in different positions and created match-up problems. Match him up against Jay Foreman. Match him up against a Pipsqueak corner and run different route combinations to get him the ball, along with the other guys. And obviously, at TAVON Austin, who probably is probably one of the most electrifying college players ever, in my opinion. Up there with Percy Harvin for guys in the playoffs. Right. And Percy Harvin was special teams as well. This dude just straight up offense was just doing cats. TAVON played some special teams. Yeah, but Percy, in my opinion, was-- I guess, I view Percy more of prowess on returners, right? Whereas TAVON Austin, he's giving you business. Tweep swabs, and different levels that he was attacking the offense. Now, that's where I think he can provide instant success. Now, I think also coming in and not being, I guess, coming in naked. And what I mean by that is, say that they hired Jay Foreman as a-- like, say I'm a consultant at Michigan State, right? And then Nebraska says, we want you to come in here, but I'd never seen the players before. He has been here at some point during the off season. So he's not coming here unfamiliar. And so I think with the AR-8, he's just going to have to really curtail it to the offense. It's going to be interesting to see how he goes about it and approaches it. Because I think he can do instantly, do some stuff that can help this team. I'm going to say a thing, Jay. But they've got to do it with him, though. I'm going to say a thing, Jay. You said everything, but this way. He is a professional offensive coach. He's not winging it. He's not making it up. No, no, no, yeah, listen, he's going to give you-- He is a coach on many, too bubblegum. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's not about him. This is not about him. Right. This is not a-- listen, him worrying about-- or let me warn you, say, this is not about his scheme or whether-- first of all, getting off the bus, he knows how to put up points. Or he knows how to do stuff. And it's who he is, though. See, there's a difference. And I guess I could explain it. I won't mention any names of the past. Let me tell you this. This dude, he loves like offense, and it's not a scheme. And I think he'll figure it out. So say if they're shutting down, just say they're tunnel screens. Say they came in with four versions of tunnel screens. They felt like against USA, and they shut it down. They get a good beat on it. He can adjust. When you run a scheme, which sometimes we had guys over here before, we had guys here on defense and a couple past coaches that felt like they could always say they felt like they would get 11 people from high V as long as you stand in that spot, it works. That's not how it works. His ability to adjust is what is important. What's going to make this successful in the short term, which potentially, I guess, could be long term, is it can't just be him doing it. You get what I'm saying? Now you know it. He's moved the room that the room gets better with him in it. And it didn't matter who this week's opponent was or is, that he knows how to attack whatever coordinator they have, whatever personnel they have. There is a way to attack them and a way to do it effectively, not without putting yourself at risk. It doesn't matter. Listen, if I've got Hartberg out there, there are ways that he can attack USC's defense and their talent. Holiday Magic is in the air at EyeFly indoor skydiving.

Equinox EV and the all-new Equinox offer award-winning quality and style to see you through the holiday season. See why Chevy makes everything better and brighter. Chevrolet, together let's drive. - Based on down and distance, simple verbiage, right? Because he's called those plays in high volume. He doesn't have to look at his playbook. He knows what he wants to call. He sees what he sees. And there's a difference in that. There's a confidence. If I look over at the sideline and Jay's looking down at the play sheet, oh, no. - Yeah, I mean, I think the one thing I think he'll do just from watching him before is that he's... I would say it's a good running back. My dad used to tell me a good running back. You're always going to be thinking what, you know, you're looking past the first defender. You think what you're doing, the second one. He's going to be... I'm assuming he's going to be able to set up his place. I think he realizes you have a young freshman quarterback that's immensely talented. So you want to make sure you put him in the most advantageous positions at all times. Now, I will tell you, he will also up the ante of what he wants from Dylan as well. It also, I think he'll challenge him to maybe do some other things that maybe Dylan hadn't seen that he can do, right? And so I think as long as it's done in conjunction with each other, and everybody's in it and understanding what he needs to get done, you know, in a way, especially in his short term, it'll be successful. The great thing about it, the advantage for the players is this. It's not that you're not having to learn a new playbook in three days, four days, two weeks, whatever it is. It's your playbook, which he's going to just curtail his offensive thought process, play calling to your playbook right now. So you don't have to worry about, oh, well, the stick route was called something else. It's the same place. Okay, they're not foreign plays. Now you're going to get new plays each week? That's no different than any other place. But the big part of it is going to be a same playbook. - It kind of has to be, right? You bring this guy in, going into your second bite week, there's not time to change anything. Strict use the example of, you know, you find somebody got to give him a shot of adrenaline, right, to get him to the hospital. You got to patch the tire, you got to put the spare on. But that spare tire, you have 50 miles on it, right? This is the 50 miles that you got on the spare tire, these last three games. Make it work, get to the 15 practice, get to the ball game, get to the off season, and then you fix it. - Well, we went through, there were a couple of camps in Texas, and these are received, these are offense camps. So his ability to take players from all over the state and give them verbiage on short notice. 30 minutes to get the verbiage together. It didn't matter what system you were in, it didn't matter what verbiage you used. He came up with a way to communicate that here's what we're going to run in short form. If there's 1,000 people there or 10,000 people there, can he communicate with a quarterback and receivers? Hey Jay, here's the route tree. Here's what we can, here are the 12 routes we can run and how we're gonna run them. And hey Jay, if you're the Z, I'm gonna call your number last. I can audible at any moment. Quickly, I can call out a hot number, a hot color, and then I can put three or four routes together in combination really quickly. Why? 'Cause if I see main covers, I can change the route combination. I'm not stuck to a play and I'm not stuck to just a hot route versus a running play. I can do them both. Yeah, I just think he's gonna probably do a good job of really just trimming the fat a little bit and then trying to get these guys to be a little bit more explosive. Now, I will tell you this. Now you can run them skinny posts. You can run the, we call them like a goal post route and the hardest route down in the red zone. Obviously crossing routes are huge, but then obviously getting on the edge and obviously we've seen running some mesh routes as hard, but the most unstoppable route down there in the red zone is trips. And usually the number three guy generally comes up and gets in the face of the first defender, runs it out or a crosser. And then either the two or the one are running it to either the near side or back side goal post. You can't stop it. Because somebody's gonna eventually come open. They're gonna get in the window. Well, you know what I, here's the thing that bothered me most so far that with two six foot four receivers and a six foot five tight end. Hey, bro. Every offensive coordinator loves those throws from a young quarterback getting the ball out of his hand quickly and red zone. Playmaker. Yeah, they did that at times. But also when you throw them up there, you got to go get it. Well, I come back with it. Well, Jay, if you got to, you got to go get it and come back with it. No, I'm not running the save route. I'm not talking about favorite. Oh, we're not talking about big boys being big. You know what it's like is to have you being covered by Rico in the red zone. You go, you go depot him and there's nothing Rico can do about it. Yeah. If he takes inside leverage, you go let him and you'll take it outside beat one step back to the ball, big hands, make the play. Carry Rico on your back into the end jump. Yeah, but you got to be wanting to play big. Yeah, you know, and if you change the philosophy of and this is funny. This is funny about this. Here's what's funny about the league sometimes. You get these big running backs and this, you remember Brandon Jacobs? Yep. He's a good dude, man. I love Brandon Jacobs. 'Cause everybody told me about that story in high school. I know he did the white lightning and get his gun. We were like, yeah, did you ever see that? Yeah, I like Brandon. You mentioned that story. No, his son? Hey. Josh? No, no. Yeah, who knows, but the Brandon Jacobs son is real deal. The change in his career and the change in the Giants, especially coming to playoffs, is the difference in how he ran. So I played one year with there, one year there and I used to tell him, like, dude, you need to run behind your path. Yeah, you run a four or five at 265 pounds. Yeah, I understand. You're bigger than straight hand. But when you get the ball and you're dancing, you're not effective. Once he started to come and understand that and he ran behind his pads, then it changed. It changed how he played. So when you think about the receivers, like if you're six foot four, I don't need you to be dancing. I need you to blow right through them dudes off the line of scrimmage. Now you got to have a little wiggle, but if you want some tape to go watch, you watch Andre Johnson against the Nebraska and the Rose Bowl. I've seen it up in person, the Andre's last resort. If you aren't, if he's not getting open, he used to tell him, "David Carr, here's how I'm gonna get open." I'm gonna come off the line, punch and pull the dude. Once you see that dude goes down, throw it right over there. I'll be open every time. Well, we have it, right? Whatever he is. Do you got to yell? They've got to go Jack. Go Jack. Yeah. But that's what they say, go back to the basics. Simplicity is doing less better and you have talent and you have, you have some things in your utility belt now. Simplify it. Simplify it. Simplify it could be. But then also you get, listen, when that ball's in the air, it ain't about coaching. I gots to go. It's like a rebound. You got to go get it. You can't come down to do, it just takes the ball just out your hand. There's note that you got, hey, you got to poke in him in the eye. You got to hit him in the neck. You got to do something. Again. Want to. If you tell me that that group coach is a dog, his receivers, you're gonna play like dogs. I mean, yes. I mean, Jay, we had shirts under Hydro. I mean, this dude's face. Yeah. How dare you disrespect me? Put your hands on me. Right. But I mean, we had dogs on defense. I mean, we had me in Farley, and there's no, but there's no, and I'm not taking those shots at Craig Bowl, but he wasn't necessarily a dog. But you know what I'm saying? I mean, and that's the honest, it got truth. Right? Yeah. But he's a great coach. I mean, I'm not saying it, but his personality wasn't. You had to, you had to fight every day of practice. If I find every day of practice, you know what? I could fight in the game. If I can beat my brother up, go across the street and get no choice. And that's, I think those are some of the small things that could have big results in the next three weeks. Listen, if you can get the top 42 players to throw some hands, man. Oh, well, listen, I can say this. If a new coach comes in at linebacker, you want to say, okay, say like I was a registered now Troy was, Troy doing was great, but just say Troy Dumas wasn't Troy Dumas. Say he was just a little bit below Troy or the linebacker room and we got a new linebacker coach come in mid-season and then I can not lose a registered year. So just say I've been finally lifting weights, getting bigger, faster, stronger, getting better in practice. And I got three games and you going to be looking at everybody? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Would you say it's on? Let's go. Like a greasy pot of neck. Let's go. Let's go. I'm sure you say they're butter popcorn. So because every, and I think coach will eluded it to it, right? If you eluded eluded to the running back. What's his name? Mckine Nelson. Yeah. So obviously he did something, right? He'd been doing something and that's where you could throw a J format in there. Say I do one thing. Well, say I do, you know, say I know cover three, cover four, and this blitz really well. Then you could throw me in there and do that. That's all you're going to do. Right. And that's the Mr. T started kid and not and to have a coach who is proactive enough to say, you know what, I'm willing to put the extra worker myself to rotate the best players for the best situation. Yeah. Because there are a lot of coaches just go, I'm just going to leave my best players that day. You got to figure it out. Yeah. But what I'm saying, when you get a new coordinator or a new coach and you have the leeway for it. Get it. You also become a little bit more appealing. Get it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So then that makes the guy that's actually going to be out there all the time. Step it up. Step it up. More else. Yeah. I'm forward. But you know, we're going to take a quick break. We're going to transition to the opportunity that is in front of Nebraska going out there at USC. They got a new quarterback. They got a lot of stuff going on. We got a new coordinator. They got a new quarterback. They actually got a new coordinator since Lincoln Riley is going to be calling new plays for this dude. So we're looking at another team in the face that looks just like us trying to get out to snide. DP Austin Norman will be right back.
