WEBVTT - Happy Half Hour - 2.7 Project - Eugene Robinson

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Touts do cow wha, It's time for the Happy half Hour,

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>presented by Southern Star, an official bourbon of the Carolina Panthers.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 2>A good quarterback can thrive in chaos. A great quarterback

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>can slow down time to negate the chaos altogether. There's

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 2>a moment before the ball is snapped, when everything is still.

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>That's when the quarterback assesses everything around him, who is where,

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>who is rushing? Who is his best matchup. When the

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>ball is snapped, twenty two pieces are thrown into the

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>air and the passer has a finite amount of time

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to put it back together. Dave ca Analysis made a

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>career out of helping a quarterback slow down that time,

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>put the pieces back together with ease, and make the

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 2>best decisions in the quickest window possible. Throughout his career,

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 2>he's analyzed film and practices and the best of the

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>best in the game to determine if a quarterback can

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>get the ball out in two point seven seconds, he

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 2>has the best chance of making the right decision and

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>lowering the risk of turnovers. Canalysus spent this off season

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>thus far helping quarterback Bryce Shaw and get his throwing

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>time down to that two point seven seconds, but of

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>course it's easier said than done. To understand the intricacies

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>of the challenge, The Happy Half Hour spoke to former

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Carolina Panther safety Eugene Robinson to find out how a

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>sub three second throw changes the defensive game plan and

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>what a quarterback can do to negate a secondary. I

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>guess off the top, if the ball is out in

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 2>two point seven seconds. As a safety, have you even

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>had time to get in a position.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you still have time to get a position, because

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 3>you're always moving into position from every position, whether they're

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>a corner nickel, you're either in man and man coverags,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 3>or you're in years alle. And you reason why we

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 3>say two point eight seconds two point seven seconds you

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 3>will get the ball off because anything after that and

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>typically right around three point two seconds, you're stacked. So

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 3>you want to make sure that you get the ball

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>off quickly. And that's why the West Coast offense was

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 3>really proficient at getting the ball out very, very quickly,

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 3>so that your defense doesn't have a chance to start up,

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 3>but it gives your offense a chance to go ahead

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 3>and not only get the ball out quickly, but manipulate

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>the defense by keeping them off balanced because the ball,

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 3>when it comes out fast, you don't have time enough

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 3>to get really in great position or the almost ideal position.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 3>And also that the receiver has somewhat of a tactical

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 3>advantage because once they get out of the break, if

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the ball's right there, boom, it's right on top of

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 3>them before the defensive back has a chance to respond.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned the West Coast offense, is someone like Steve Young,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of the best of his time, to have

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>gotten it out quickly. Bret farrs, Okay. That was my

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>next question was who is the of the quarterbacks you

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>face tu gets hit out the fastest.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Montano, all of whom played in the West Coast offense

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 3>under Bill Walsh at one point and then Mike Hongram.

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 3>They have a legacy of quarterbacks coach, Moots Barrioti, a

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 3>number of quarterbacks coaches who coach that system. Even the

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Carolina Panthers back in the eighties they had that same

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 3>West Coast system that they employed where the ball was

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 3>coming out uried very quickly, and so that's really Germane

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 3>to the West Coast office of reading quickly and getting

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the ball out. You have your options even at two

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 3>point eight seconds, seven seconds, you know you can run

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>a sprint right opson, which is a favorite play if

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 3>they're running the wet red zone for the West Coast offense,

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>which has a guy running out to a flat and

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 3>then a guy curling behind the guy run out to

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 3>a flat. And now the quarterback is just reading which

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 3>guy you're gonna cover. You're onna cover guy the curl

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 3>You're coming guy in the flat. You can't come on both,

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 3>and so the balls coming out very very quickly. It's

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 3>because it creates a mismatch so that you don't have

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>time enough to respond.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>So kind of along those same lines, if you're a defense,

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>how do you have to change your game plan for

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback who who you know is going to majority

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 2>of the time throw in less than three seconds.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 4>You gotta have some dogs up from dogs look from like.

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I would tell for when we would playing the West

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Coast offense the San Francisco forty nine ers when I

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>played for Green Bay.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm telling my dudes, Reggie White, I'm telling.

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Gilbert, Hey, dude, I need you to get to the

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 3>quarterback man, disrupt his rivers, get in his face, put

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>your hands up, baby.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 4>I need to do all.

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 3>That I said, because if you could disrupt his timing,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>you not only disrupt his timing, but you disrupt the

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>timing of the route combinations. You disrupted everything. So if

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>you get any push at all, any push at all,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>and I face the quarterback, you've just messed the quarterback up.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 3>That's why your offensive line has to do a great

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 3>job of losing slowly before the defense.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 4>Gets to the quarterback. And so.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I tell my guy defensively, I'm going to get a

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 3>good quarterback. Steve Young, Joe Montana, Hey, man, keep your

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>hands up. The boss coming out quick, but put your

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 3>hands up because you might get a knockdown.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 4>You possibly could get a knockdown, or you may disrupt

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 4>the time.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't forget this all works in concert of the offensive

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.280
<v Speaker 3>line being to hold that defensive line back. And if

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.119
<v Speaker 3>and if you're having problems, then you have to blitch

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback a little bit more.

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 4>And then you expose the guy on the outside and

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 4>man and man covered.

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 3>So you know you've got a great receiver and Jerry Rice,

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 3>you're exposing him to a lesser corner and you're blissing. Well,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 3>guess what advantage San Francisco before the nine is with

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Jerry Rice and Steve Younger or Joe Montanna.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>So like most things with football comes back to a

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>battle of the trenches.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Then yeah, it always comes down to that.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 3>But I understand why coach Canalis wants to get the

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 3>ball off quickly. Because he's able to get the ball

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>off quickly, you're going to keep the defense off balance

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>and you're going to get that defense tired because the

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 3>defensive line.

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I said, hey man, we're trying to get to him.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 4>We can't get to him. Well, man, that's a big problem.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 4>You can't get to him.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Now you're in a somewhat of perfore minute office, perman

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 3>in office, and you moving down a field. You can't

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 3>get your guys off the field, and now they're tired,

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 3>and now they're getting your head.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Ben sort of hand in hand with that subject, I

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>guess the part B of it give us a little

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 2>opposition research here. If you're a secondary, what can you

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 2>do to force a quarterback that has designed short throws

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 2>or you know, routes to get it out quickly. What

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>can you do to sort of mess him up? From

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the secondary point of view, The.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Very first thing you want to do is call it

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 3>window dressing or where you're gonna blitz or fake the blitzer,

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 3>and you're gonna have guys that's in the face of

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback and we're gonna have a mug up in

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 3>the a GaX the linebackers and let him know that Hey,

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 3>we're coming and we're blitzing off the edge, or we're

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>gonna have more guys than you can you can go

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 3>ahead and protect. So now you're gonna force the ball

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>to come out soon, but not as soon as as

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 3>you want it, because now you're limited.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 4>For some of the.

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Rocks that took a run. You gotta run a go,

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>You gotta run a post, you gotta run a fade.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>You gotta run something very very quick that matches the

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>defense with who of the onslaught of the the rushed

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 3>by the defense.

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 4>So the first thing I'm gonna tell it, Hey, we're

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna get the ball out of the guy's hand.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna blitters, dude, and we're gonna run our games

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 3>and we're gonna get in his face, and we want

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>to let them know that we're coming every single time

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 3>now to counter that. If your offensive line is really

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>good and able to pick up the.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Stunts and those blitters. You've now just made.

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 3>That receive a little of that cornerback vulnerable a receiver,

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 3>and if you have a receiver as a top knots guy, well,

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 3>guess what now, that's the fifty fifty ball. That guy

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>typically can win. That he can that he can win that.

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 3>That's Jerry Rice, that's Randy Moss. Or guess what he

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 3>might most likely he may win that. That's Kelvin Johnson,

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Larry Fist, Darryl Steve Largin went on what he don't

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 3>probably win that battle because you blitched, and now that

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you're exposing your your maybe your corner or exposing a

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 3>part of your defense until you don't want to expose.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 2>That actually kind of led to my next question was

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're if you're promising a blizz, does that leave

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>a Is that a risk reward game you're playing there.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 4>It's always a risk reward.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 3>You're always trying to go ahead and bitz and get

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback off his spot.

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 4>We try to get Drew Brees off his spot.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean when he sets up on his

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 3>three step drop, one step drop, five step drop, I

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 3>know the ball's coming out not the seven, but the

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 3>one three five when he steps up, if you got

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 3>him to move in a position where he doesn't want

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 3>to move out, you've now disrupted to play.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>And that move could take the timing from two point

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 2>seven to three point two.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 3>And if you anytime you over three secondes, typically your

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 3>quarterback is stuck. Unless you've got Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson,

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Steve Young. You know you got a running quarterback who

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 3>can Michael Vick, who can extend the pockets and extend

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 3>things you mentioned.

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.599
<v Speaker 2>You know a list of all stars, a list of

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Hall of famers that got the ball out quick during

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>your playing time. But have you seen the game just

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>as as an observer, as an analyst, as a fan.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen the game get faster as time has

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>gone on.

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think the game has gotten faster.

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 3>I think that the rules of change, well yes or no,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.599
<v Speaker 3>the rules of change a lot the a lot of

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 3>game to appear to be faster because you can't gym

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I can't gym a and getting his face. I have

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 3>to do it within five yards and you got to

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 3>be careful how you do it. I can't tackle a

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 3>guy and play some smash my football and make you

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 3>think about coming across the middle without drawing a penalty

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 3>that says I was targeting, or I hit you in

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>a way that was you know, was compromising. I can't

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 3>stack the quarterback the way I was stacked the quarterback.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Guess what, my big.

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Guy who wear a three ten three fifteen, Regie White,

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 3>you got to put him down legitly where you don't

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 3>put all your.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Weight on them when you make that tackle.

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>So what I'm saying to you is that the game

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 3>is favorite the offense side of.

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 4>The ball to go ahead and score more points and

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>stay healthy, of course, but to score more points.

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Because you can't you can't harass the receiver as you

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 3>used to be doing doing the past. And so from

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 3>that standpoint, the game has gotten much faster.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 2>So by sort of slowing down time for the offense,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 2>it speeds it up the defense.

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, by but because here and once again Cassie, it

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.719
<v Speaker 3>is if I can't jam the receiver and really get

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 3>at them the real beaver style, Dave Brown, melt Blunt,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Mike Haynes. Now let's the haze, and who would just

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 3>dog you, put their hands on you and just maul you.

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if I can't do that, then you have

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>some of of a tactical advantage to run your route

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 3>with a little freedom.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 4>Not being harassed. You know, there was a.

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Time when the receiver could come across the middle of

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 3>the field in his route on those little dry gross underneath,

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.959
<v Speaker 3>and we'll tell the linebacker, hey, man, that dude comes

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 3>across heads you go on to the other side, your

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 3>brick his face. Dude, hit that dude across he's under

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>five yards.

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Hit that dude hit a wall. M make him think

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 4>of that. He better not come across there.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 3>He better go ahead and get the five stick seven

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 3>yards and run behind you. But if he comes underneath you, dude,

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 3>knock him out. So we will say stuff like that

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 3>because even if as a calculator route the ball can

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 3>come out very quickly.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 4>He can get to a guy.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>But we got a guy like a Luke Keikley, or

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 3>you got Ray Lewis down there dropping down there, You're

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna think twice about going across the middle. But if

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 3>he has a chance to go to hit you. So

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 3>what I'm telling you is that the ruth of chains

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 3>and lacks a lot where Now that I think there's

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 3>much more of an advantage for the offense to have

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the freedom to go ahead and play fast.

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Have you been able to kind of see Bryce any

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of this off season, maybe at an ota or mini

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 2>camp practice.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 3>No, But let me give you my assessment of Bryce.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 3>I thought that Bryce was able to get the ball

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 3>out quickly. I thought that he struggled. When he's starting

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 3>to struggle is because the office of lives ot to struggle.

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 3>And when the office of lines started to struggle, and

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 3>you got your quarterback kind of moving trying to find

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the throwing layers, and you're in trouble because now you're

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>off a spot. That dude is accomplished. Make no mistake,

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.959
<v Speaker 3>Brush Young can throw the rock. And I'm not telling

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 3>you as a fan of the Packers. I'm telling you

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 3>as a free safety who study quarterbacks for living. We

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 3>got fifty seven interceptions, actually sixty two. I'm telling you

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 3>that dude will do.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 4>He the real deal. He the real deal. He does

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 4>get the he can get the ball out quickly.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 3>He's accurate, he moves well, and he doesn't take like

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't get bat at balls down.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 4>That means he's finding.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 3>In the throat lane and he throws the receiver open

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 3>like he's supposed to do. And so I thought, what

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 3>happened to him last year, is that a lot of

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 3>that stuff that we saw that, Oh, now, this guy's

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna be really, really good. I thought it degraded over

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 3>time because the office of Line was not in a

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 3>situation where they were healthy and where they could go

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 3>ahead and protect the quarterback. And if you can't protect

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 3>your quarterback, I don't care if you got Drew Brees,

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't care if you got John l Way, Damn Marino.

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't care what quarterbacks back, then it matter, it

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter, It won't matter at all.

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:12.839
<v Speaker 4>If you can't protect your.

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Quarterback, your quarterback are victim me, Roethlisberger, Brady, you inserting

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 3>your name here, whatever quarterback you think is the best

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>quarterback who's ever played the game, and serve his name there.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 4>With a poor line, he's gonna get his head busted.

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, they definitely put one hundred and fifty million dollars

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>shorts that line this offseason, so I would.

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 3>And that's what they need, and that's what I thought,

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 3>what they needed. You got to show up the line

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 3>because the talent you had in Bryce Young and people

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 3>will compare them to oh, we still got c J.

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Stroud.

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 3>No, I think he's still the right choice. I think

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 3>he's still he's durable. He saw that he could take

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 3>a hit. He's taking many hits. You can tell you

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 3>can take a hit. But he's active with the rock.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 3>He throws the ball really really well. He throws you open.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 3>He just needs to get the ball out a little

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 3>bit quicker. And he gotta have those dogs on the

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 3>other end catching that rock. I would love him to

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 3>have an Olson. I would love him to have an Olson.

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I would love him having Steve Smith. Look at that

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of Steve Smith and then Olcin what.

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 4>Please he give me.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 3>That cat, that type of that type of dog in him.

<v Speaker 4>Him, right please.

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what Dan Morgan has said all off season. He

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 2>wants is some dogs.

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 4>So you get that cat with.

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Them dogs and like that a Wesley wall a Greg

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 3>and then a STEEVEE.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Smith. I'm on simer hammed straight dog puts you in

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.480

<v Speaker 3>You better get with him, You better go try to

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 3>stop him, and you better ice up some cats coming

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 3>with it. You give him Bryce Young that type of don't,

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 3>don't that type of play, And that's what I was

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 3>hoping last year that those receivers would step up, because

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 3>that was a great opportunity in my opinion, to go

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 3>ahead and steeze control of the receiving spot and let

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 3>everybody know that you're here to stay.

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 4>And that's the guy.

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, he did get a receiver this off season that

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>is top in the league and creating separations. So we'll

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 2>see how big of a difference that makes. Having Deontay

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Johnson on the field too.

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Whether you're playing mando man or whether you're playing zone.

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 3>In the zone, when you get the ball out quickly,

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 3>that coach finalis is going to go ahead and design

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>the spots where it comes, whether receiver can get open

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 3>so he can get in between the safety and the

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 3>linebacker or or or the nickel he can get in there,

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 3>and final those little gas hits the ball coming out

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 3>quickly where you find those gays when it comes to

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 3>mandom man, even as though the guy's on you, the

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 3>ball's coming out quickly. Typically the defensive back has his

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>back to the receiver to the ball.

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.119
<v Speaker 4>So now he has his back to the ball.

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 3>And mandom Man, Now you've got an advantage from the

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 3>fact that the receiver can see the ball if it

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 3>comes out quickly, and you can't.

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 2>On that subject, and the zone kind of lends itself

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>to more turnovers at times, just given you know the fact,

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 2>like you said, that you're looking at the ball. Does

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.439
<v Speaker 2>it coming out quicker negate some of those turnovers or

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>is that just does it matter one way or the other?

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 3>The what what I thought Bryce got into the this

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 3>was what I thought that Bryce's got into the habit

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.120
<v Speaker 3>in trouble of last year because he was getting hit

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 3>a little bit too often. Is now he's staring down receivers.

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 3>So now when you know his own defense and you're

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 3>staring down the receiver that's running a slant, you know

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.439
<v Speaker 3>that he's gonna throw the ball there. Well, guess what,

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 3>based on your film, Studden, You're like, all right, abody

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna take a chance. He's gonna stare down as a receiver,

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I might gonna go in there and get me an

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 3>easy pick. As a matter of fact, as a free Steny,

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna tell you, hey, this is what I need

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 3>to do. I mean he's stared at receiver that take

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 3>take a chance and take a chance of picking the ball,

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 3>and I'm gonna come over the top and I'll play

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 3>anything just in case something. So yeah, So part of

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.679
<v Speaker 3>it is scarcity is that he was staring down some

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 3>of the receivers because now he's trying to.

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Get the ball out quickly. Does that make sense?

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that does make sense.

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 3>And so now you if you're holding on too long,

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 3>you're even gonna get shat. And now you're gonna bring

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 3>the safety or you're gonna bring other people into play

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.159
<v Speaker 3>to help. They could play on the ball.

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Right do you think because of that and just because

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 2>of maybe the tape of how last year ended, you

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>see defenses come out at the beginning of the year

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and play a little more zone and if that is

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the case, you know, again, give us a little opposition research.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>How do you take advantage of it? If you're Canalis

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and Bryce Young?

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 4>So I think what defense is gonna come out and do?

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 3>And they're gonna play a lot of games with the

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 3>whatever defense they're playing a three four four to three,

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 3>because you're gonna see a lot of games to confuse

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 3>because what I thought our offensive line struggled with. They

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.920
<v Speaker 3>struggled with games, but I mean by games, it's a

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>different stunts employed by the defensive line and the linebackers.

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And because of that, now it's something that appears like

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 3>as a six man of rush is actually a four

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.719
<v Speaker 3>man of rush and your quarterbacks getting stacked.

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Something that appears to a four man rush.

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Is actually six man rush and your or five man

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>rush and your quarterbacks getting stacked, or he's throwing the

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 3>ball in the ground or he has to eat it.

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 3>He has to do stuff to throw the ball away.

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Because of the games. So what I think that coach

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 3>ca Dallas is gonna see, because that was prevalent last year,

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 3>is that too many teams ran games unless that compromised

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Our left tackle in the left guard mom was pretty good.

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Icky struggled, I thought, and because of those games.

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Because of those games, you used to expect that coming

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 3>up this season, along with the blisters, to get Bryce

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 3>to go ahead and to get him off the spot,

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 3>but to make him throw the ball when he doesn't

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 3>want to throw the ball, and to uh to sack

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 3>him and to punish him. So I think you're going

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 3>to see people getting in the face eight man front

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 3>getting in the face and that word with a zone

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 3>a man, but just trying to confuse the office alive

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.040
<v Speaker 3>because they struggled with games.

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Eugene, thank you for your time. This has been

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 2>incredible and really interesting just to kind of hear from

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 2>a defensive point of view what getting that ball out

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.679
<v Speaker 2>so quickly can do to a game plan. Thank you

0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 2>to Eugene for his time and insight. Over the next

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.120
