| 0:00.0 | Welcome back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com. |
| 0:04.9 | We have one more Q&A segment for you, more questions and answers about the Michigan football offense with Sam Webb and Alborges right now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA. |
| 0:16.7 | John Wants and so, Al, how did McCullough get so open on that play? |
| 0:19.2 | I think it's the one that he's talking about the one with Samaj. Yeah. Yeah, it was a, it was, he threw a bubble and they all came blowing up. You know, you're throwing up bubbles and everybody. I'm sure all the fans have noticed this. These defenses that we're facing, and I watched on other teams, too, not just us, |
| 0:38.7 | because they are playing the hell out of bubbles. |
| 0:41.5 | You guys are attacking anytime they think a receiver's coming to block them for a bubble. |
| 0:46.3 | They're coming up. |
| 0:47.2 | So, you know, you need, we talked about this. |
| 0:51.0 | Last week, I think, is what's the counterpunch to that? |
| 0:53.5 | What do you do? |
| 0:54.0 | Well, you got fake blocking goes, you know, is what's the counterpunch to that? What do you do? Well, you got fake |
| 0:55.5 | block and goes, you know, or you can throw a bubble, get them to come up and then have the guy |
| 1:00.6 | catching the bubble, throw that, which is what happened. But they all came storming up, |
| 1:05.5 | thinking that that was a basic bubble screen, only to find out that it was a pass. So now, okay, that didn't work. |
| 1:12.6 | Everybody got it, but what did it do, Sam? |
| 1:16.3 | They showed on film that they'll do that. |
| 1:21.2 | And that would, every defensive coordinator of America, |
| 1:23.4 | just watch that, we're going to watch that play. |
| 1:25.6 | He's going to say, oh, they've got a double pass off a bubble swing. I don't really like that. Now I've got to tell them, I've got to tell those guys they can't go flying up so fast. Or it's going to be a touchdown, right? So maybe you say, oh, it didn't work. That was not a wasted. This kind of goes hand in hand. What we were talking about a little earlier. Talk about you. Yeah, the residual effects. Maybe that wasn't such a wasted play after all. The residual effects of that play. Another Al Borgia's phrase. You talk about. I use it all the time because it applies a play calling i'm telling big time what is the |
| 2:01.5 | original effect of a successful or unsuccessful play because a lot of times it won't show up till later in the |
| 2:06.8 | game scott henry says uh klein being out of that game in oklahoma made a big difference you touched |
| 2:13.3 | on this after that i said that yeah i said that first thing i said one of the first said when we talked to after that game is, is don't think for a second not having those tight ends didn't make a big difference. Was it the difference when and losing? I don't know. But it would have been better. It just would have been easier to plan. It would have been easier to run all your stuff because I know how much they like to use tight ends. Okay. |
