You could call this gy counter if you Wanted to but we're still just calling GT counter and that tackle or that tight End knows hey I'm in the tackle position I got to go Okay let seven kind of put his speed on Display there I'm pretty sure he goes And scores it but you know same concept Here we're just getting a lot of downs Notice we're not doubling too many People um and if we do double we try to Come off we still have our RPO to the Top and and when you when you block you Know when you're blocking down you're Blocking back on the on the backside From where you're pulling from is is the Idea is that that guy who's going back Is going flat so basically you can get a Two for one you know type of deal to Right so when he's coming back that guy The defensive end would normally be able To be a free runner but by him going Flat he's basically bump bumping one Into the other am I correct on that That's 100% yes so that defensive end That's that's kind of the worry when you When you just uh vacate that entire Backside but he he's going to do one of Two things he's going to be poorly Coached and he's going to get up filled And never become part of the play Anyways or he's going to be very well Coached he's going to get in the hit Pocket of that puller and as he works
Down the line he runs into the center so It's like even when you're well coached You're just playing into our hand of What we want to do right so we really Want our Center to get all the way back Doesn't always happen right sometimes This gives us a little bit of fits um we Get that right kind of that uh that Three or two ey or something backside Because it becomes the center's guy but Same thing now you're talking about that Two to one action look I'm going to Block the first threat and we're going To pick up the extra dude who also is Not going to run around here and Chase Down number one or number seven it's Just not gonna happen and once he go Once he says okay I'll take the path of EAS of least resistance and comes this Way now he's just into that wall we're Building with all of our dudes right so We're gonna we're gonna take him out With just pretty simple Fundamentals I guess if he was a Superstar too that actually was able to Get down somehow you you would just read Them right and then we go into GT read Yes right Um answers for everything there all You're right and it and the good thing Like no we're not going to run that read All the time right and we try not to Practice or a run in a game what we Don't practice so you might get into an
Instance where you know you need it in a Game but you don't have it installed yet Right so maybe next year that goes into Your spring install or your fall install Like look I know this is a very simple Read but we absolutely have to get this Put in because it is an answer when Things start going poorly elsewhere Right so here's that RPO we talked about Right so we we go uh three backs in the Back field so you know we're not like Coach Maring at UNLV or anything but you Know we're gonna we're going to put some Backs back there turns out that these Are wide receivers and not backs so this Is just trips right to us with some tags That make It to put the wide receivers in the back Field right but everyone does their same Rules so he knows RPO he's going to go Block uh biggest threat biggest threat He's bubbling he's running GT is the backside tackles rule To um is he basically cutting up if he Sees the butt of the Guard yeah and so You know he's got yes and and that's Something we or he wraps around does he Wrap around if he doesn't or we almost Never log it we put that in and one game Because they had a superior athlete at Defensive end and we thought we can't Kick this dude because he like I said he Was he was taking both of our pullers Blowing them up and pushing them into
The running back with the ball like Sometimes you have that dude and so what We tried to do was log him and so yes Then we're g to you know we allow that Tackle to go ahead and pull around um I Think that's something you got to decide What you're going to be because we've Went for in I think this is week seven Or eight so we're at 10 weeks in Training camp telling our guys do not Bounce the kick do not bounce the kick
