what's up kinfolk it's our jae-young and
today i'm gonna tell you how to stop
TCU how to destroy Gary Patterson's 4 to
5 scheme I'm gonna take a look at three
plays TCU used against Texas two which
resulted in big gains for Texas but that
wasn't because of the scheme that was
because well
Texas has athletes just to go to show
that sometimes athletes make plays
despite the scheme I'm gonna tell you
how Gary patch this defense works I'm
going to tell you why it works I'm going
to tell you how their recruiting
strategy works at a place like Texas
Christian which is not a traditional
blueblood but consistently puts a great
defense on the field that can stop these
up-tempo no huddle hurry up offenses
we're gonna take a look at personnel
we're gonna take a look at groupings on
the field we're gonna take a look at why
this five defensive back to linebacker
set works and we're gonna take a look at
cow keeping four down linemen on the
field at all times has helped Gary
Patterson more than it's hurt him and
bailed that defense out of plays where
they should have got destroyed take hey
no no Mike my fire Mike Stoops oh my god
Mike Stoops why am I the person that's
thinking about this why isn't it you
whoosah yeah my pressure points and
there's also gonna be someone if you

every single day it's always oh you
related college football related we have
a good time all right bumper so we all
know that in the big 12 we play an air
raid systems that's just what we do it
offenses can put up points in this
league that's just what they do so
rather than try to come up with
something to reinvent the wheel Gary
Patterson took a base defense that
relied on speed athleticism and
simplicity for the players to be able to
basically stop teens from scoring you
might notice that Gary Patterson's
defense not so much interested in not
giving up the big game they're
interested in keeping you out of the end
zone
it's a bend don't break conservatively
aggressive strategy that works over and
over and over again and it starts with
the two safeties that are always over
the top take a look at this base defense
against Texas it's a four to five there
are two safeties over the
top and they're always able to play
their three primary base coverage
defenses and run every blitz that they
can run out of the same defensive look
they were uncovered to Robert
they run cover blue and they run cover
five which is extremely basic defense
but the reason it works at TCU and can
work at places like owe you is because
it relies on the athleticism of
linebackers and defensive backs to be
rangy and make tackles and wrap up and
it lets the defensive line just go rush
the passer and play the run there's no
dropping back into coverage there's none
of that it's simple it's so simple that
they make it more difficult on the
coaches than they do on the players the
coaches have three different looks that
they are trying to get on the field all
at once whereas the players have one
assignment they've called defenses for
the line for the linebackers and for the
safeties but if your safety linebacker
or defensive lineman you only got to
worry about one call not what the rest
of the defense is doing so you can have
three different schemes running at the
same time in the same play which is
genius which means that you got to be a
smart defensive coordinator to run it
I'm talking to you my because you want
your players to just be able to play to
react to be able to go and attack for
instance watch on this play how the
linebackers first two steps are reading
run they're coming downhill already
after the snap notice the our safety the
robbers always to the weak side of the
formation he's always looking over the
middle his first job is to read tackle
and reef flat and then he goes to look
and jump around it's that simple
so his Shambu shell snaps the ball and
this ends up being a play-action pass
the linebackers and the safety reading
run are not penalized for reading run
because they know they have help the
free safety goes from reading run to
reading the wide receiver in the
quarterbacks eyes looking to jumper out
the strong safety bails to give cover to
the corners the nickel safety also looks
to jumper out but also wants to give
cover to the flat and the linebackers
are already backpedaling when they read
pass but the genius of this is that
shame you show can still hurt you it
means you're putting the onus on the
quarterback to make the correct read all
the time and the fact is most of the
quarterbacks that TCU plays against are
good
but they're not good enough to not make
mistakes and TC you push the quarterback
in a position to make a mistake it
forces him to make the best play all the
time and that's just not gonna happen
most of the time and it didn't happen
here Shambu shell went for the long run
through a deep into double coverage now
Texas has athletes huge wide receivers
so this man went up and made a play in
between two defenders nothing as a coach
I can do about that that's on my defense
to go make a play but it's also TCU's
undersized so they're always doing less
with more still should have been a pick
Shambu shell got bailed out by his wide
receiver so in this next play we also
see what I've been saying all along
TCU comes out to four to five you see
the robber to the weak side of formation
and what looks like it's going to be a
running formation you got two backs in
the backfield and a quarterback who can
pull it and run but once again Texas
runs play-action but that doesn't mess
with the safeties reads they're good
with that that's okay look at the free
safety he's reading the quarterbacks
eyes he's reading run the strong safety
has already bailed to go give cover but
the four-man rush doesn't get to be
shell in time but it also means Michel
has to make the correct read he has to
be able to read what the defense is
doing in its coverages and if you look
at this diagram we got a Tim McGraw song
out here we got where the green grass
grows out here man that flat was begging
for somebody to jump into it like it was
just left vacant and no Texas receivers
were anywhere near it
so TCU didn't have to defend that part
of the field so championship makes the
wrong read again and throws deep again
and his wide receiver bails him out
again should have been a pick around the
goal line but it wasn't because Texas
has great athletes out wide receiver and
Texas Christian just doesn't owe you as
the athletes that's not gonna get a play
that's made on us unless is Jordan
Thomas and then we might be up a creek
so the last play I want to take a look
at is the one that seals Gary
Patterson's defense as beautiful look
man this is the 4q5 base we think we
know that Texas is going fast we know
that they're not giving teaching you a
chance to line up
we know that for once Tom Herman's
offense is doing what it's supposed to
do it is snap snap snap go and go and go
and do it with big 12 offenses do pick
them up put them down
we even got safeties over here who
for the calls they don't know what the
call is we've got men out of position
TCU looks like it's about to get
destroyed and at the snap at the ball
shame you shell knows what he wants to
do do i receivers know what they want to
do look two of them we're gonna clear
out those are the guys in yellow and one
man over here supposed to be running a
bubble out little wide receiver screen
and it looks like it's gonna work they
got it lined up but I want you to also
take notice of the four-man rush the
four-man front who didn't have to think
about a call because they know what it
is they know intuitively what they're
supposed to do because they can get the
call in that quickly attempters
Christian and they just go after the
quarterback so a broken play for TCU
turns into a broken play for Texas
because the wide receiver does not do
what he's supposed to do and because of
the four-man rush Shane Michelle does
not have time to make another read to
make another decision he's getting
num-num num-num eaten up by Pat man he's
a dead man walking and so a broken play
for TCU one where Loki is back there
stunting creating chaos in the secondary
because they don't know what's going on
turns into a sack lunch for TCU because
they had a four-man front you couldn't
do that with a three-man front you
couldn't do that if you asked an OCO to
drop into coverage so what I'm saying is
Gary Patterson has put together a
defense that is not designed to be
aggressive it's designed to be
conservatively aggressive it's designed
to make you make mistakes to put you in
a position to make the wrong read the
wrong time and by wrapping up and
tackling they keep you out of the end
zone they get you to punt and they get
the ball back and they keep the game low
scoring you make the game simple by
keeping your base front the same and you
get to shift your safeties around to let
them play coverages that help that side
of the field and not as a whole you take
the game and you turn it into a matchup
zone you recruit players that can shrink
the field guys that can get after the
football guys that can run with wide
receivers and linebackers like the ones
that we have like Kayla Kelly like a
manual Beal like Kenneth Murray who can
fly to the football it's a defense
that's built around recruiting that's
built around finding the diamond in the
rough it's built around
man we can't recruit like Oklahoma man
we can't recruit like Alabama
but you know what we can design a
defense that can work and just think
about if we use this kind of a defense
if we put our superior athletes in a
defense that just allows them to be fast
that just allows them to run downhill
that just allows them to be aggressive
how awesome what our defense be oh my
god Mike Stoops why am I the person
that's thinking about this why isn't it
you
whoosah my pressure points alright
