Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Installing Stump Coverage with Coach Colin Lark
Q: What is the main difference between Stump and Stubbie?
Stump is used against trips and is more space-heavy with a post- and wheel-centered back end, while Stubbie is a tighter, man-to-man style that locks up number one in some alignments; both share the same core principles but Stump adds a post-snap read and in-above adjustments.
Nathan McPeek on Team Standards and Leadership
Q: When you say vocal, what does that mean for players—does it have to be loud to count as leadership?
Vocal leadership isn't about shouting; it's about players stepping up, speaking up in a way that fits their personality, and sometimes simply telling a teammate, 'That's not how we do things here,' to uphold the standard.
Spring Install Plan and Red Zone Offense with Coach Josh Jones
Q: What staffwise practices help ensure offensive install vs. defensive install works without revealing too much to the defense?
Collaborate with the defensive staff to script only what benefits both sides, keep installations focused on the offense's core skills, and ensure the defense isn't blindsided by a lack of readiness; the goal is mutual growth rather than one side exploiting the other.
Pressure Without the Risk | Coach Jimmie Tyson on Hot Coverage and Six-Man Blitz Paths
Q: What's your favorite blitz path at the moment, given all the variations you've implemented?
It's hard to pick one, but a nickel off the edge remains the simplest and most versatile, effective against both pass and run, and it often serves as the anchor for other pressures.
Pressure Without the Risk | Coach Jimmie Tyson on Hot Coverage and Six-Man Blitz Paths
Q: Do you guys ever run the Tango stuff, the four under two deep with it, or other variations that mix under coverage with pressure?
Yes, we use four-under two-deep variants and mix in two-under three-deep, often tagging pressures and hot concepts to adapt to the offense. We rotate fronts and coverages to keep offenses guessing and to tailor to the personnel we have.
