Intro couple of other audio cut-ups I wanted to play with you here are Tyler Lockett talking a little bit about this scheme and I thought that these were two little interesting cut-ups that he spoke upon that again give us a little bit of an understanding and idea of this offense and what it's trying to do and where they're trying to go and how they're trying to get there so to speak so let's uh play these clips here for you and I Clips think this year as we kind of learn the offense is it's it's a lot different than the offenses that I've been a part of in you know the nine years that I've played I think that grub has a lot of flexibility when it comes to the usage of the players that he wants to be able to utilize how he wants guys to be able to get open I think there's some cool schemes in there that sometimes you don't see unless you unless you kind of do your like alternate stuff in Madden you know when you got to alternate routes so it's kind of cool to be able to see a little bit of the way that they think and it makes sense why they went to the championship if you ask me because it's it's so difficult to be able to guard um the way that they pass the ball in their schemes but then when teams think they figured it out you got a running back that could be able to rush for a th000 yards and still be able to take the pressure off the passing game so I think for us it's just first down if we can be able to get first downs I think the offense can be able to show a lot of things that haven't been seen before but we got to be able to West Coast Offense move the sticks couple little things within that never played an offense like this before shows you a little bit of their this is not well it's kind of like last year's offense we have this baked in and that built in and this is put in and so there's some I've never played in an offense like like this before I've said a lot and it's doesn't I think do a good job probably of capturing the spirit of this offense but it's the home kind of closest thing that I can get to in describing it in that you have offenses that often times set out to do specific things to a defense a West Coast offense from its traditional mold is looking to set up the Run by passing first first quarter historically speaking before the West Coast offense yeah first down you're getting a run you're getting a run at a highly predictable rate West Coast offense comes in and okay now we're going to throw instead of run and we're not throwing like we throw in other ways we're trying to push the ball down the field we're going to throw the four or five yard pass get the ball into our receiver's hand and allow him to use his Yak run through space and if he only gets five yards well hey five yards in a catch is better than the average of the four yards in a run kind of that's your West Coast offense right it's got a specific way it's looking to hit you on the field can it go deep can it throw an occasional over the top yeah but where is it going to really live right on in here and how's it going to live there mainly on the passing attack usually first and foremost before finding back the running game and the running game opens up because teams start to become concentrated on the passing attack our old offensive scheme we're going to hammer the egap power inside Duo we're coming downhill you know we're coming I know you know we're coming we're still coming we're going to come down and we're going to bang we're Hammer you we're going to just keep hitting that wall and it's a cement wall you know but but every time we hit it a couple little just crackles and flakes of concrete fall off every time we hit it and you know what we keep hitting it like that eventually we're going to cause you to bring a safety up and eventually we can hit you up over the top I've got a very purposeful way I'm looking to attack you from an offensive structured standpoint there are other things built within but that is always the overlay over the top of everything else so things with a purposeful approach to where they're attacking in a specific way in which they are attacking but the thing that stands out with Coach grub is that when you watch the Washington offenses they attack you everywhere can be behind the line of scrimmage it can be 50 yard down the field it can be routes to go for chunk plays it can be just to death by a Thousand Cuts Dink and dunk and as Tyler said come back and hit you then with the running game he mentioned the Madden thing which I laughed a little bit at in the talking about the routes and there's a little bit of like route rigidity you'll get in some of these playbooks when you play either in a Madden or right now I'm sure many of you are playing the NCAA college football game as I am enjoying a lot but you get in you get your playbook you get these routes and you'll get to a down a distance or route you want to run and you can find the route where you want to run it against this and you're going through the plays and you're like God it's just you feel it's it's rigid it up I can't go to it and then you'll get to the plane you'll call it anyway and as he said adjustment and Madden so you bring come to line of scrimmage and then you'll just adjust your receiver where he's running this stick route and you switch him off to a slant and then it's wide open you know you've you've created it within the the plate it's sort of like grub creates that within his plays of that adjustment always there within it so that it's not as rigid in its structure so it attacks you everywhere I don't mean to say that as a sale slogan for the offense but in the it's free of any confinement and constraints it just wants to go at where you're trying to be weak you you want to give me a six-man box I'm going to I'm going to devastate your six-man box not just because I have the numbers game but I'll pull guys in space I'll create extra number game down there I'm going to force you to bring that guy down into the box and I'll hit you on the outside deep when I do cuz I'm not just going to be that old school spread guy that's just going to be here and here and here I've got a way to get you every time and if you think you can lean to me a certain way and take away this but appear to take away that I'll just come back and hit you with a trick play then I'll have your head really spinning at that point then I'll come back with a fake trick play on the next play then I'll have your head just about ready to brain fall out of its skull cap you're so confused as to what's going on so I love that he mentioned it this way I see it the same way on tape with this with grub and his his approach then I'm going to try to go everywhere here I'm going to try to I'm going to try to hit you on every spot the field just show me where you're wanting to lean where do you want to lean I'll go there you going to lean this way I'll go there go back I'll hit you in the front you're going to lean up I'm going to go behind you it's really within the structure of his play calling and you see it play after play where Washington's not just here here here here it's you know it's like a jazz musician you know where you almost just don't know where the Beats going just like whoa we're doing all this huh and over here okay pretty impressive to watch but it's one of the reasons I really love um what he's going to bring I think here to this offense another Tyler cut here bringing up a term that I'm going to now bring into my vernacular called stick conscientiousness listen for the stick conscientiousness reference here from Stick Conscience tlock I mean there's times where we might be going after the sticks and there's other times where we're not even worried about the sticks the sticks is just another yard line and there's times where we might go for an explosive and it's third and three like you just never know and I think that's the cool part about the offense is that you have things where okay if this guy is open take it but if not this guy behind them is probably going to have a a great chance to be open to create an explosive and so I think that sometimes if we focus more on just getting to the sticks it's easy for teams to be able to pick up on third down they're more stick conscientious but when you end up putting yourself in a position to where you have somebody that's getting to the sticks you don't know which player getting to the sticks but then you got other guys that's playing off of that route to be able to create an explosive so if teams take away the sticks the explosive opens himself up and if they take away the explosive the sticks open up one of the reasons that udub was able as Ryan grub tried to seek out to do about once every seven or eight plays created an explosive play on the football field is because he's not a spread concept guy who goes dink dink dink dink dink dink dink dink dink okay go deep it's that in my dinks dink dink dink dinking dunks my dinking dink d d dinking dunks is that I'm always going to have an offshoot player looking there to take the top of the defense off and that there's always going to have an instruction in my quarterback's mind that you don't have to play it safe here that you don't have to play it to the sticks you don't have to be stick conscientious as Lockett said and I will say there are a lot of times on the all 22 tape and watching in recent years with this offense you're at a third and eight you feel a lot of the routes end up sitting around third and eight you're in a third and 11 here's the that you're third and five the route you got two three routes here you know where you also then would feel at times defenses lean in to where as Tyler's talking about this is why I think he kind of purposely spoke about this so specifically is that this is something that he's encountered here with the offense in recent years is that they would call a little bit too many of those routes to the sticks and then become too predictable to the defense does it sound familiar about the prior offense and the defense would then squish in those routes to those stick spots especially if you got those key third down spots third and five third and N third and 12 let's keep three let's keep three flat Defenders like we have them in kind of a quarters coverage at the sticks and they'll just hang right in on there and it's then you got like a line of Defenders there to take anything away and you can run any route Concepts you want but they're just going to squat down on the sticks cuz they're like yeah it's all window dressing you're going to end up with still three of your guys ending up right in our laps here when it's all said and done and I think Tyler was referencing just a little bit of that now here where that becomes not quite the same way it once was
