He might have slit his wrists after all the missed tackles sat.From what I understand, you are a HS defensive coach - correct? Not to put you on the spot, but could you comment on what you are seeing from this current D? Positioning, technique, ability to adjust, scheme. etc. thanks in advance

Missed tackles are so annoying. Also, not picking up a fumble, god that drives me crazy.He might have slit his wrists after all the missed tackles sat.
Sorry not trying to hijack your thread
Apparently, you should apply at Lincoln Public High Schools, you wouldn't have to drink all weekend to forget, the job is cake there.I really can't, I am usually drinking a lot during the games and just enjoy watching.
I could not tell you a think about the techniques they use, that is stuff I can't pick up on while slamming down drinks and yelling with the people I am watching the games with.
They seem to over pursue a lot and that seems like it is by design because if it is just bad play it seems like those guys would not be playing anymore. One thing I notice and I think most of us do, the DL, when chasing down the line of scrimmage, don't seem to stay square. Most teams seem to want the DL to take one good step, one good punch and then get square, the more square you are to the LOS the more space you take up and the less running room there is.
Most teams like to flow their LBers inside-out, so that there is no cutback and then I suppose in theory your end or OLB or safety will set the edge. NU seems to play outside in, which is fine but someone still needs to be in the cutback lanes. So someone on the backside either is not filling or someone is taking crappy steps, that is just my guess though.
In all honesty though, it might just be what they are reading. So they might have a key they are reading when the ball is snapped but there is a chance the OC for the other team changes up their blocking schemes to make NU adjust on the fly.
Yeas ago...we had to pretty decent guards...one was smart the other was a box of rocks...well the dumb one would pull all the time (when he wasn't supposed to pull and he would go the wrong way) we sort of found out that it influenced the hell out of the linebackers because they were reading him and following with him. It was classic!
I guess I said a lot without really saying much! Ha! Sorry!
Ha! I only know one guy at LPS, at Lincoln High. I think he is sick of coaching there.Apparently, you should apply at Lincoln Public High Schools, you wouldn't have to drink all weekend to forget, the job is cake there.
OMG. I was yelling and screaming, sure it was going to roll out of bounds.Missed tackles are so annoying. Also, not picking up a fumble, god that drives me crazy.

You would have thought they would have learned from the TD we gave up earlier in the year. That's just bad habit. Play to the whistle ALL THE TIMEI see that all the time! GET TO THE BALL!
The missed tackles are really frustrating. At the very least the coaches had them in position to make a play and they couldn't finish it. Of course I will NOT slam any kid for not being to tackle Taylor. That guy is a beast and he outweighs every one of our DBs and several of our linebackers. We're just not mature enough physically in our 2 deep at safety to be playing our backups like we've had. Have to build mature depth at multiple positions. That is why we're redshirting so many guys IMO.I see that all the time! GET TO THE BALL!

Not demeaning JRE in anyway, but the college game is way different than the HS game. Most HS coaches don't know a lot outside of fundamentals and don't teach much because it is not needed. There is reason that once a kid is identified by the University that they get brand new nutrition programs, S&C programs and also changes in technique. If you get to a bigger school, they may have little more knowledge on football, but for the most part a lot of HS coaches are just as good as the message board know it alls.
Yeah, this is pretty true. I think where the big difference is lies in the film work. HS kids have a hard time watching film and learning anything from it.
As far as the lifting, you are right that they send them their SC stuff but that is on their own, most HS's have their own SC coaches and they pretty much set the workouts and techniques.
I will say this, the college game steals a ton form the HS game because most HS coaches put their best player/athlete at QB, which is what you see a lot more in college now, but they just have so much more time and better players that they can do so much more.
Like, why Omaha Benson (not sure if you know that school or not) is running anything other than a flex-bone offense is beyond me. They have smaller OL so the scheme works and preparing for that **** is a *****. You can basically do okay in the flex with about 10 plays, which you can rep and rep and rep.

Agreed. It is a little bit different at bigger schools as well, but you hit it on the head with the film. When we watched film I'd say 95% of the kids had no idea what they were looking at and 80% of the coaches didn't either. My former HS was B school and is now C-1. The state titles we won in football were because our dudes were just better than the rest we played. The coaches may have played football in HS or college, but were teachers that were all looking for the extra money and the ability to help the community and mentor kids. That is the real reason they were there.
Throw on the missed FG. 17 points. Maybe they score one of those TDs, still 10 points..... that's basically the gameThere were a lot of bad things in that game, but overall, I feel better about that loss than some of our others, like MN. The huge gut punch of a TD kickoff return and then a tipped INT really changed that game. In fact, it was the difference. It certainly wasn't a mistake free or perfect game I've been wanting to see. But it wasn't like we were completely outclassed either.
Yes, there is plenty to ***** about on special teams, defense (especially tackling), finishing drives, etc. It is what it is right now. There is plenty to ***** about and we see it all over on here and everywhere else. But those were at least some of the positives as I saw it.
- We were able to run the ball and run it well against one of the best run defenses in the country.
- Mills showed up to play. He was also the best back on the field on either side of the ball at least through the 1st half.
- The offensive line did much better.
- AM was much more decisive for most of the game. He ran better, he threw better, he went through his reads more patiently. It wasn't perfect but it was better.
- The receivers blocked better than they have all season.
- We were in the red zone (or maybe 25ish), what, 6-8 times? I don't even remember. We still have our work cut out for us down there, but at least we were down there.
- Inside the red zone, it is much more down to player talent and execution. You have to make plays and the mistakes are magnified.
- Defensively, we played better. Maybe marginally better, but still better. We did have some stops.
