Welcome back to the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

Let's get back to the Michigan football offensive breakdown with Sam Webb and Al Borgias here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK.

This was something that we talked about in the offseason.

What was Chip going to add to the offense?

You knew he was going to add RPO's and you knew he was going to try to add a

stretch element to this game. Right. So now you said, this is excellent equipment. When you got a

quarterback like Bryce and you have Nakeds in the playbook and you run stretch, group that together for me, Al, and tell me what that does

for you as a coordinator. Well, it adds to another dimension. Now they've got to defend a play that you're

actually going to run. You know what I mean? If you're going to run a naked game, the better you can run the outside zone play or the stretch, whatever you want to call it,

the better the Nakeds are going to be because they got to play them.

They got to play them.

You're always trying to get in behind the second level of the defense on Nakeds.

Now, you know, on a lot of N naked, you generally put somebody in a flat,

but that's only open about half the time, if that sometimes, whether you're sliding them,

whether you're smashing him, whether you're whatever in him. So the real key is to get the

inside core of the defense to jump the outside zone, to literally jerk the defense, left or right based on which way you're

faking that's the guy you got to get open and the way that guy gets open the most is when you're

running the stretch play well because now they feel compelled to run to it and it it serves so many

purposes naked bootlegs uh stretching attack runs where they're overrunning the play and a boss coming back.

I mean, it's just another piece that gives your offense one more thing that's difficult to defend.

Yeah, I mean, remember the old waggle back in the day for Michigan? Yeah, I think Michigan called their naked's waggles. No, Stan Parrish told me. He said the one backs were called waggles and their two backs were called nakeds or vice versa. I can't remember. So they have it. I don't call a waggle. The Waggle is a protected player.

But Wagglet me is a pocket change play. It looks like it naked, but it usually pull up. Someone's blocking the front side. The ball's going down the field. So I just use different terms. Yeah. So it's not a foreign concept, but it kept working because they ran it. They could run the hell out of that stretch and get back to it and the tight end was always open.
