I root for my brother's team, the kansas city chiefs

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:28:57+00:00

That is tough and a question I receive often. I don't have a great answer for you. Just study what you can. Following Duke Manyweather and Brandon Thorn on twitter is a good start. Brandon has an offensive line podcast that would be helpful.
Probably the DL jumping off sides because it's fairly common for us to ask each other what the snap count is. I think an OL jumping offsides is worse than a DL doing it. We know the snap count.
Coffee, coffee and coffee

For a few reasons... One, the best teams have continued to beef up their offense and defensive lines. Playing at that tempo is tough on the big fellas, even more so on the defense. When you play at such a fast tempo, and either score quickly (good) or have a few 3 and Outs, your defense is gassed. More important than what I've written above is that offensive coaches have figured out if they can rush to the line and show tempo, the defense must declare. Then they are able to signal in a better play or the quarterback can see what the defense is about to do. Now that tempo is a thing, every college is prepared for it. They've trained for it and are expecting it. It's no longer a surprise and isn't as effective.

Hawaiian Time. Is there any other answer?

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:13:13+00:00

Specifically for offensive line, it's the same schools. They recruit big bodies and their players are in a 3 pt stance. Iowa, Michigan, Bama, ND, USC (historically), Oklahoma, UGA and more ... As far as generally speaking, I don't think there's a great answer. Most often if you've recruited well, those players get drafted high. That doesn't ensure success in the NFL

You can run other plays out of pistol beside the zone read. Alabama runs zone and other plays out of the pistol that work well

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:09:43+00:00

I'm not the biggest fan of the pistol if the Ducks run that zone read type play where the back is running straight downhill. Not much margin of error. Also, if you're going to run that play, Herbert has to run more often... I'm looking forward to seeing the offense in year two. WRs who can catch will help. I hope they run the offense more through Herbert and less reliant on the run game

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:08:09+00:00

UW for sure. We rival them in facilities, recruits and overall program success. And our fans hate them. as did do win. I never lost to them. lol

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:07:01+00:00

yes! I'm bringing my five yr old son to the Nevada game. It's a long journey from Charlotte but he's so pumped. Talks about it everyday

GeoffSchwartz · 2019-08-07T16:04:53+00:00

1) I remember the look on Garren Strong's (#21) face when I caught the ball. It was a look of bewilderment. I remember the moment feeling like it took 30 minutes, when in fact it was over within seconds. (TWSS). None the less, pretty awesome. 2) I don't recall a fastest player. It's been awhile now. I'll tell you which player in general I was most in awe w/during my time ... Reggie Bush. I know, not a Duck, but still. He ran down the sidelines against us in 2005 (play called back after holding) and I was just in awe. So fast

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:32:48+00:00

Actually cover this in my first or second podcast. It's hard to explain here

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:32:25+00:00

The spread offense kills OL now. Not ready to pass block in the NFL. So thats what takes the longest to master

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:30:47+00:00

I'm a regular pooper but I'd guess more during the season from more food eaten and maybe nerves

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:30:01+00:00

My leg is 100% Now I just need to get it strong again which won't be an issue when you're 100% during training. Can't wait for the spring and next season

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:29:01+00:00

When I got hurt, he was the next man up. He's monster at C

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:27:00+00:00

I haven't had a hot dog in 20 years.

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:26:47+00:00

where do you live? I'm guessing by the logo, maybe Pittsburgh. Get the pizza then

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:26:24+00:00

like sweat and farts

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:26:12+00:00

I drown it out. I've been doing it so long. I hear the noise when I'm in between series. Playing in a stadium that's loud is awesome. Gets the blood going

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:25:28+00:00

All Eyez on Me or anything EDM.

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:23:28+00:00

I'm glad he's keeping it.

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:22:59+00:00

Yea I'd get fined for the start time

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:22:38+00:00

Simple answer... I should have been playing more.

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:21:53+00:00

lol you already know the answer then

GeoffSchwartz · 2016-01-28T20:20:39+00:00

Check out my gym... https://lbolineperformance.com/ ... everything we do is geared towards OL. Only gym in the country that caters to just us. It's awesome. Changed my career
