Throughout our careers, we have both stumbled upon greater understandings of the game of football, the schemes that fit into it, and the path of being a coach. We call these our “Aha Moments.”

On this episode, Joe and Daniel talk about their individual “Aha Moments” on Offense, Defense, and in regards to the total program.

• Joe: 
       • The Offensive Line is the most important group.
       • Gap names and numbers change from system to system
       • Terminology is not universal, and it shows up in every aspect of football.
•  Daniel:
       • Concepts are much easier to learn than single plays, and all plays are                connected by concepts.
       • Tags can open up your offensive playbook, without over coaching or over        installing new plays, concepts, or schemes.
       • Numbers, leverage, and space are the keys to winning a football game              schematically.

• Joe: 
       • Numbers on fronts/boxes don’t matter. We’re all building the same boxes with whatever front we decide to use
       • Missed tackles only happen in 1-on-1 situations, and 1-on-1 situations shouldn’t happen often
•  Daniel:
       • Coaches matter more than scheme. If the coaches on staff can’t coach your scheme, it’ll never work anyway

• Joe: 
       • The best coaches still can’t control it all, but they are very likely trying
•  Daniel:
       • There are bad coaches everywhere, at every level, at every position. 30 years of experience means nothing if you aren’t using it for the right reasons.

• If you’re in need of a program changing fundraiser, this is the episode for you.
• Conditioning is one of the things that most commonly stays in the stone age around a football program, use this episode to get into the modern world of conditioning.
• It’s mid-season now, but the offseason is just around the corner. Use this episode to start building your program now!
