| 0:00.0 | No, that's good. So let's talk about it. How do you come more efficient on first and second |
| 0:05.4 | now? One of the things that I think a lot of people were talking about, I know Anthony |
| 0:09.1 | was tweeting about an Anthony never tweets during commanders games, but he's like, man, |
| 0:13.0 | they can't run inside zone for anything, right? Yeah. Like there's not a lot of yards |
| 0:16.7 | available inside for the commanders in the run game, which obviously is going to hurt |
| 0:21.7 | your first and second down efficiency. I don't, I wasn't watching closely enough to know |
| 0:25.5 | whether Anthony was dead on an inside zone versus dives versus do those versus whatever. |
| 0:30.3 | But, you know, everyone just thinks those inside gun runs are always inside zone. But |
| 0:34.1 | like whatever, whatever they're running, what's what's going on there that they can't |
| 0:39.5 | get more yardage off of it and what else do you see on first and second down? That is |
| 0:44.2 | causing them to be in these situations in the first place. Yeah. So this is something |
| 0:48.0 | we could probably spend a lot of time on. And I do think there's a philosophical element |
| 0:52.6 | here that is really interesting to talk about. So if you look at teams that run them all |
| 0:56.3 | in first down quite a bit, like, you know, we talked about Detroit, San Francisco, you |
| 1:00.8 | know, Miami, these teams, they are not just running, they're running base runs, but they're |
| 1:07.7 | not base runs. If you don't, I mean, like they are skimmed up from an angle and leverage |
| 1:13.5 | standpoint to maximize that opportunity in a way that a lot of teams that do a lot of |
| 1:18.9 | gun runs just don't do because you lose the ability to kind of create the angles that |
| 1:23.7 | you're looking for. And what I mean by that is like, for example, on inside zone, let's |
| 1:28.0 | take inside zone, for example, I don't really want to double team vertically into the defense. |
| 1:34.2 | I don't want to do that. People say, well, that's what a double team is. You got to be |
| 1:37.1 | physical. You got to get after it. In the NFL defensive lineman, they are not here to |
