1 Drew Hill had a vision and we saw the foundation starting as early as the OK game last year.
The game was won. (can’t talk about the Arod call on the 1yd line that cost us the game, ask Hopper, he has all the answers…Zero to do with the Defense)
2 We all talk amongst ourselves. Safeties, linemen, DEs, DBs. We are all on the same page
3 Hill keeps things simple, “If a 5th grader can’t understand it, it’s probably going to fail”. Hill teaches us the basics, then if we have a talent that can expand on that, we twick it.
4 Safeties are DEEP, if one gets injured, the next is ready…why am I a starter when I was not on the depth chart starting the season?. I was a QB in HS so I understand what the opposing QB is thinking. I could play any position, I have that belief in myself but as a safety, I knew what KSU’s Avery Johnson was going to do before the snap and I messed with him by being somewhere else before the snap, totally caught him by surprise.
Just a little of what’s going on out there. Jay Hill’s the real deal
Why do you insist on lying. It’s really not necessary. I said the offense complemented the defense with perfect execution to score 24 points on the turnovers. I’m just in your head is the challenge you have…You know I’m right and you just can’t admit it.
I’ve seen that done plenty of times over the past 65 years I’ve been watching football. It happens. Nothing wrong with the call. The problem was with the execution. Would I have thrown it? I would have tried running but that’s what most defenses think you are going to do as well. Nothing wrong with the call. But, this isn’t the reason why I said what I said. How come you can’t admit this? I’m supposed to. You should too.
I can’t tell you how many games I’ve watched where the offense tries to punch it in and loses yardage and penalized as well. And, for your information, we’ve tried that before and fumbled as well. So do a lot of teams.
It was a bad call because the QB messed it up. It was actually a great call. It didn’t work so you say it’s a bad call. Sometimes you just have to make the call. Win or lose. Can’t worry about the noisy crowd. A coach would know this.
I was assisting the varsity against Fillmore and we were up by one with 15 seconds to go. During the time out the HC wasn’t sure what defense to run. I stepped back and looked into the Fillmore huddle and realized they were going to let their hot shot take the last shot and at the end of the time out I called out 1-3-1 defense. HC went with it and we forced the hot shot to take an off balance 30 footer. He missed. The thing is with 2 seconds left their center got the rebound with an easy layup. But, he was told in the timeout to get it to the hot shot. So, he didn’t take the shot. See, our center didn’t box out. He should have had the rebound. We won. You make the call but the entire team has to make the play. You can’t worry about what the peanut crowd thinks
You couldn’t convince ONE football coach out there, based on every factor that led up to it, was a part of it and ANYTHING associated with THAT CALL… that it was actually a great call. Once again, every time I think you’ve made the worst post ever, you one up yourself with something like this. Only in a world as crazy as this one currently is would I not be surprised.
You know what I’ve always said that every football team should have a basketball coach on the sideline when it comes down to crunch time for time management and play calling. Certainly not a former referee
but that has nothing to do with the specific thing we are talking about. There was no crunch time or time management issue here. The issue was the specific play at the time and in the context of what was happening, running at will with big chunks of yardage on the drive, there was absolutely NO reason to even think about doing something else in that moment.
