Back to old school with DP and Jay on 93/7 the ticket and the ticket FM.com. We're back Jay Foreman, Austin Foreman, old school crew today. We're diving into the coordinator talk just because we've got a big game tomorrow. And the text message don't hesitate to text in with your questions. Obviously, there's going to be plenty obviously before the game. Obviously plenty during the game, plenty after. None of us know the answers. Only people that know the answers are probably Matt rule in those two and whoever is in the coaching staff. But, you know, obviously getting a new coordinator with three games left is not normal. Especially from the outside end, you know, promotion within is normal. But I also say that coach Augustin is familiar with Nebraska just because he was around in January. People, you know, knowing from his air rate and his offenses, you know, being that, you know, particularly West Virginia. And then Houston, he was out seeing some other places and I'll see you a part of, you know, some pretty high powered offenses. But when he was head coach and he obviously is a primary play caller, they were putting up some numbers. Now, people also need to understand in particular, let's look at West Virginia because he was there the longest, you know, both as a OC and then I'll see when, you know, head coach afterwards. You know, in that big 12 you had to be air raid. You know what I mean? Then it shifted. So any first got there? Yes. Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm talking about. I mean, that's what that's where, you know, that's when he got the job. That's what he's known as you had to you had to score points. And that's what, you know, the big 12 was down and that's what they needed to, you know, stay alive. And obviously, you know, be appealing, you know, to a point, you weren't going to step out there and compete. And I remember when they used to play Oklahoma, it'd always be like 49, you know, 42, you know, 52, 47, all those things. So you're not going to play against Oklahoma in them and think that you're going to try to win a, you know, 27, 17 or 21, 17 game. That's what going to happen. Unless both teams played like hot garbage and then obviously the same thing in Houston. Obviously, you know, Tank Dell is a Houston Texan and now see, you know, coat coat August and I was recruited and developed and coached him. Obviously with the numbers that he put up, they were obviously very, you know, past heavy, but also I think the thing that gets glossed over is that he did run the ball to decent enough clip and has some running back. They had divine back there. Remember to run back divine. No, I'll divine a different type of runner, but I mean, he ran the ball and he ran the ball in that type of big 12. So, you know, people people say, well, he ran out of like 11 person. Well, he still ran the ball. And he didn't pick you about how you run the ball. Well, you're not, you're not going to see a lot of 23, you know, to, to, to, you know, full back, running back and three tight ends. Now, you might see three tight ends, but you're not going to see the old school line them up and blow you off the ball in that, that big 12, but he ran the ball. And so, you know, I think people was like, okay, got air raid. We can't do it where it's the total change. I think this is more of a rhythm pace idea change. Now, he will implement some plays and concepts, but I think that's where you're at right now because he's not calling. He's not running. He's not bringing his playbook and they say here, come back in a week. You know what I'm saying? Even with the bike. Right. It's not exactly how it works. Now, the pros, they do that NFL. You got a week. You got two days. You better get it right. Yeah, you better know it. How would, how often did that happen to you? Oh, we never got a new coordinator during the year and a whole new playbook. Now we had different play. I've had different play plays, different, you get different plays and coverage is every week. How many on average depends on who you're playing. Like a piece of paper front and back. You might get, well, you got all the different checks and possibilities. Right. So, you might get anywhere. Let's just say four to six, eight max. Now, there's been times like, well, I will tell you this, big fan geo is notorious. Your child's first step is a big step towards their future. With first step by college invest, every Colorado child born or adopted on or after January 1st, 2020 will receive a free $115 contribution to their college invest college savings account. Plus, we'll match a percentage of your contributions in the coming years, helping you save even more in role today and start your child off on the right foot. Is it Colorado first step.org to get started and claim your $115 now? Of just victorious VIC. Yeah, I've given you new stuff. I'm going to talk about almost a new playbook. Now, what I will tell you this mentally and being engaged in defense and what we need to do to be competitive. All 11 starters, plus the rotational guys, all bought in to whatever we needed to do to be one of the top, and we ended up being number eight defense. So, we could handle that bandwidth. I mean, it was then it got to the point where I'll tell this, we'll get back on it. We played, we did the, we ran my favorite coverage that he called was cover eight. It allowed me to be a totally different player. It allowed me to be to orchestrate the defense. It's kind of a cover for because we in it, if it's slot and the splits are tight, we play a certain cover for. If if it's back off set, tight end or slot close enough, we play. So we played it. It just allowed me to be a coordinator. And it was all based on that. So, but we were, we kicked butt on with it for two years, two and two or three years. We'll never forget this. So we go up to Denver. And first, Hey, that altitude was on your boy, like no other quick, quick. It welcomed me to Colorado and sent me back through me at the club. I mean, I remember being in a hotel thinking like, I'm having a heart attack. Like, what the hell is going on? Hey, Austin, you know, I didn't run anywhere. Right. Just had a little carry on back. I'm just like, Oh, I'm tired. Then you start thinking. Now that Jennifer Airport Lincoln terminal to wherever else you're going. That's the run. Right. No, we just got off the plane. Get on the buzzer. Then I was thinking like, damn, how am I going to play them? Right. Your brother is tired. So then, but then, you know, then usually when you play, you do catch your second wind. Oh, you always kind of wait for it. Then I'm like, Okay, I'm good. Second wind never came. It was, they were all still waiting to this day. I told you what, last time I went up there, brother got out the two sickness. I'm supposed to have a foot surgery. I'm trying to find somebody else. I ain't going up there. Get out scared. Right. Brother brother, brother might have developed sickle cell anemia or something. Hey, I was locked up. You saw me dehydrated too. Parched. It was so bad. Austin, when I was up in Colorado, they have this oxygen thing. I had like three of them. Hey, hey, and it wasn't working. Oh, no. Yeah, I was bad. If there was any remedies, I tried them and it didn't work. Well, anyways. So we played Denver and we played them tough, but they, I mean, everybody out to sickness, even even Vic calling the place. Everybody. We were like, they beat us. So we had to buy with you next week and he comes in and we did the cell scout. When we're doing this defense, this isn't this. He got the cover eight. And so that's what he changed our cover eight. For like two or three weeks once we got in the red zone. Now we've been playing it fine. Right. The only time that we got beat was Randy Moss, like jumped up and caught a one handed one. No shame in that. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Right. Marshall stand up. Right. And so he changed it up to cover eight red zone. And then he made it so confusing. And he was like, Oh, we're when we play regular or eight weeks called eight catch or eight play it. We do this. And he, he was like, Oh, we're our win percentage or efficiency percentage. He's like, Oh, we're at like 78% against the run in the past. We're playing winning football. You know, don't give up more than 3.2 yards to carry and whatever. He's like, but in the red zone, we give it up 80 percent, 80 percent touchdowns, right? Hey, Aaron Glenn. Good job to Aaron Glenn, the coordinator at the Detroit Lions. He's going to get a head coach's job. Little Aaron Glenn, man. He stands up. And Aaron Glenn barely says anything. He stands up. He's like, Well, why the hell you calling it then? He said, why the hell you keep calling it then? And everybody, because Aaron, so we had like, uh, like theater CD. So we went up. So everybody turns around to Aaron. No, he ain't no, but like five nine, right? He's like, yeah, I said it. Stop calling it. It was out. Hey, it was out. So that's the only thing I had, you know, with different calls or different stuff like that. So, you know, I think he's it. I think I really do. I think it's now I might be wrong. I'm just assuming it's an idea, a more aggressive approach, what he says, a calculated aggression. You got a former head coach calling plays. So he's calling plays as a head coach. So you feel more comfortable with clock management and when to be aggressive and stuff like that. Maybe those are some of the things that coach rule and the staff probably thought maybe it was a struggle before. Like, you know, we talked about the one time, you know, I don't know what game was they were running the ball at like a certain yards per carry and it was getting off. Dante was getting off. And then the next two series, we passed it like three times in a row, three and out, and then the first two of the neck, you get what I'm saying. So maybe that's the change. Now on the flip side to Tony White on the 335 versus the four three or the three four. I hate to burst your bubble, people. It's called a 335, but they play a four-man front. Now, if they only have three guys there and they don't have anybody setting the edge, that's probably a misalignment or assignment. So we already play a four-man front. And I do what I do understand what the same come down with four-man fronts. It's a little bit easier to develop and recruit to, but we don't play a true three four. I think a lot of our pass rush comes from our three down guys. And James Williams, I guess, is part of that. We don't have to TJ Watts and, you know, Sean Maryman's out there, you know, where we're playing like true Alabama three four, you know, where it's so. I don't think I just think when you play the three four and you can cause a lot of confusion. And that's pretty much what we did with the with Arthur. When you play the student, when you play the 335 where you have a, you know, kind of couple hybrid guys out there, you can create match up problems and confusion by where you line up where you come from on further offense. And then you can obviously defensively, you're doing it. You still have to be extremely disciplined. And I might argue that you have to be more disciplined. Because you have different body types doing things that they generally aren't accustomed to do based on what the offense is giving you or based on what the defense of call is giving you, right? Or what your assignment is the defense to call. And then you have to be phenomenal in communication. And that's pre snap. That's, I don't know what you call during the snap. You know, the different stuff. So pre snap, pre snap is two things. Pre snap is calling the play. And then alerts, alert for this alert for that. And then you make the checks. That's pre snap. And then during the snap is communication during or right prior. What's going on during the play, then post snap is just checking in and making sure you got to make sure that it's somebody messed up, so forth and so on. Which of those three time slots of communication is pre always pre took it right out your mouth. Because here's why pre is so important. This is where linebackers have to be excellent. And this has nothing to do with star ranking. You have to be able to take people along with you. That's why I love cover the cover eight. Because I could pretty much control the whole thing. I control the front. I control the second level control the third level. All based on what they're doing. But then also I can really dive into them to the details till we can play it. Does Nebraska have that guy behind Bullock? Do they know who the next communicator in the middle is going to be? Well, I mean, next year, yeah, it probably had to be my car bear. He'd probably flip over and then I'm assuming shavers, whoever comes in there. I mean, look, they got Dylan Rogers. Yeah, I'm sure they got some other guys that doesn't necessarily don't know about that. That's going to be able to compete in play. But I'm assuming a car bear be there and then shavers and then you need some other guys. You need this because you talked about Jamal Charles. You talk about some of the shavers, right? Who's playing? You talk about some of the other freshmen that are playing whether or it's some of even the veterans. Your job is to bring them along with you. So if you say Austin, say your shavers, right? And somehow we you get on the backside of the formation. You know, we'll say that by motion, they got one guy to your outside and they got all the strength is over there. I have to communicate with you to make sure you know. Based on the alignment of that receiver, how you need to play over here, because you're going to have to most likely make a play both play side and backside. But that's my that's my job to bring you along. I have the experience. I have to do that. And then also you want to alert the lineman. You're looking for any type of any type of tip to give the lineman. You should, you know, you should have a runner pass call, you know, we should call it, you know, army, which is running or will be delta, which is passing or air force or whatever, you know, that would be the past. What are you looking at for that call? Well, number one, I mean, first of all, you can, first of all, if you look at the running back, if running back dumb enough to just leave and he goes and he looks where he's going. I used to play running back. These little rookies to get it. They just more worried about it. So that tells you, but then you look at, well, I used to look at the formation so that you're playing your tendencies. And down a distance, who's in the game personnel, this is 50 million things that you're going to, then you're looking at the splits of the offensive lineman. Then you're just looking at the pressure of the knuckles and stuff. And some guys, there's always one or two linemen that give it away because they're so lazy. How early on did that come to you? Did you know? No, no, no, it took a while. Yeah. Because I did you like at Nebraska? Are you talking? Oh, Nebraska. Well, I think it's the restart though. So when I came in, when I came in playing as a freshman, I was just trying to get out the way you were looking where you listened. I was trying to make a couple plays, not mess up and do it. But then as the season came on, I started to be more comfortable because I knew the game. I felt more comfortable with my teammates and I had made some plays. So then, you know, so I think it's something that you kind of grow and morph into. And then that's where it gets fun because I felt like I had like my second year, middle of my second year or sophomore year, and then definitely for the rest of my career, I felt like I had such a good grasp on the defense. And I love playing being the captain of the defense, the play call that those are the things that I really dove into. You know, and I got, I used to be so like, I would be just as excited for like Jason Peter Grant or Mike Rucker or Octavius McFarland or, or I guess the air, whoever that out, you know, was able to give it. That you brought along with you. Yeah. And that they would go make a play. Were those little things, was that a coach Samuel thing, was that a Troy Dumas thing like who who alerted you to those and helped you start looking at them yourself self thought sort of things. Co Sam did, you know, his was different his approach was different. He was like, he was like, he's like, hey, chief, he's like, you know, next year when you watch your tape, man. He's like, you need to be disgusted. And I'm like, why? He's like, because you need to like, he's like, when you watch yourself in the year before, you should already know the place coming. And you should be thinking that you're faster, you're bigger, faster, stronger. And I never, so that was that, then he, he told me as a young guy, he's like, since you're a freshman starting, he's like, you need to know what the defensive end is doing in the defense tackle to your side at all times. You got to know what you're doing, because that's going to help you play faster. Now, McBride did, but then my dad, really, that's one thing my dad, he's like, really taught me, he taught me this when I played running back. He's like, you got to know what everybody is doing. Yeah. Because before when I first started playing like varsity is like a freshman sophomore, I was like getting the ball and just going, just going. He's like, man, you make it too hard on yourself. So I, then I just kind of just carry that over to defense. And, you know, when you're trying to compete for a position, you're, you're a freshman, I was watching a ton of tape. I was putting in time. You know, I was just, you know, just taking advantage of the opportunity. So, you know, I felt like, like I said, you know, I, you know, like my career, I feel very confident about my career at both levels. Definitely say I probably took off in the pros than I did in versus college. And I was in circumstance for different. But, you know, I felt like, you know, for me, you know, I wasn't the biggest, you know, but I was. So I wasn't the biggest, but I wasn't the smallest, but I definitely was bigger than average. You know, wasn't the strongest, but wasn't the weakest, but definitely was probably more on the strong side, you know, because I dedicated myself. But still, right? Wasn't the fastest, wasn't the slowest, definitely probably above average speed, especially definitely before I got hurt. Wasn't the quickest, wasn't the non-quickness or whatever you want to call it. But definitely was probably about well above average quickness. But the thing that separated me, though, was my knowledge and the want to of the game, the mental strength. And that's where the confidence came from, because I knew I would outwork everybody. And so, you know, back to these guys, I don't want to make it by myself. It's like, with this 3, 3, 5, and 4, 3, you know, 4, 2, which is nickel, 3, 4, it is what you make it. It is what you make it. The fundamentals and the things that you need, and I'm going to leave it before we're going to break it. I always talk about the three E's when I train kids. It's effort, execution, and efficiency, the three E's. Now, the last two is predicated on the number one. Number one should be a non-negotiable. And the effort just isn't going out there and running around and looking and straining and getting there with it. Remember, it wasn't Bob, Bob, the strain. It's not that. Because you want to know where I need maximum effort? I need it in the classroom. I need it how you interact with people out in the public. I need it in the weight room. I need it in the meeting room. I need it in the practice field. I need it after practice. I need it maximum or effort, maximum effort when you're eating, when you're recovering, when you're sleeping. That is where you start. That should be the non-negotiable. That should be the guarantee. Then the execution comes from more of the mental side. Because if you got the effort, which isn't just running around, it would be good to go. It would be good to go. So what also is good to go is that's going to a break. We're going to take a quick break, come back, quick break, or a quick segment. Then we'll get to the five o'clock hour.
