Appreciate the detailed chop up, especially revealing the details in concepts and the art of Offensive Line Play/blocking. It's often overlooked but the footwork, handplacement, hips, shoulders, adjustment to defensive flow, etc. in blocking reveals alot about the coaching and character of a team. Everyone enjoys the flash of the ball carriers/skill players, but it's in the blocking/sacrificing for your teammates that shows what a team is really about...great work as always!
Love your videos! Around the 12:00 mark you show USC running GT to a tight slot who blocks out on the C gap while both pullers wrap up inside...would using the tight slot be helpful against DEs who want to spill? Thanks!
Good question. If you had an end that was squeezing hard it might still be hard for the FB to kick him out. We like to base the front side and pull for LB's against teams that squeeze. Thanks for watching!
Yea that would be good for sure. It would almost turn into a buck sweep than just hitting in the D gap. We have done something similar before but treated it like Buck sweep and cracked the 1st LB in the box and kicked the OLB over the WR. Hope that makes sense. I think it would be good though!
That makes perfect sense! So you'd be running it out of a "Trio" set which is tight slot and twin receivers all on the same side, right?@@coachescaviar8898
That would be how I would do it. Could do it to the single as well if the safety was deep and you thought the CB would be the spill player. If you can find a team that will make the CB a spill player and punish them with a guard that is always fun. I know we don't see that very often though.
Your analysis is awesome! That said, what I’m seeing is So Cal had awesome running back, the O line is not helping them…these runs could all go to the house of the O linemen knew what they were doing. Will be curious to see an analysis in a few week…cause back are getting success cause the opponent doesn’t have fast line backers…just my opinion. Curious what you think of they Oline vs what you’ve been seeming out there
That is an interesting observation. It will be really good to see the competition step up in the coming weeks to see if they are an elite unit yet. I think they will hold their own though. Thanks for watching!
Coach, I’m watching the breakdown in slo motion and it seems the tight end and wide receiver was not always reading their blocks correctly, in this case it’s Mario Williams and Lake McCrae or McCree, whatever. Bottom line is these guys have been in the system long enough to know that they need to read the play correctly. What it shows me is how important your blockers are. I’m curious why they aren’t using the other tight end in some of these run fits. And truth be told, I’m not completely sold on Mario Williams as a complete receiver. In coach Riley’s schemes, everyone has to block. What’s your take on the personnel?
Those are some good points. Some of those guys are a little undersized but do have to be willing blockers. I'm sure they will eventually use those TE's in space a little more as the competition begins to increase. I know they used tons of sets like that at OU when they were rolling. Thanks for watching!

That is 100% true. The game always comes down to blocking and tackling no matter what the skill guys look like. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Coach.
No problem. Hoping to have another one out on the passing game tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
nice! can't wait. Interested to see what other sprinkles Kingsburry has influenced.@@coachescaviar8898

Thanks for your response! Would you consider blocking down on the squeezing end with the tight slot?@@coachescaviar8898

The second sentence you said pretty much sums up anytime you play as a runningback in Ncaa or Madden games
