Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3971115, member: 289"] Dino has had his eye on line coach Mike Schmidt since Eastern Illinois beat San Diego State. They ran a play with pulling guards that was “a great play” and Dino was impressed. That introduced a brief segment with Coach Schmidt, who came here after a number of years at SDS, “looking for a challenge”. He certainly found one. He tells his players “I want you to be uncomfortable so you can develop and I was too comfortable.” I hope he likes the air conditioning. He repeated the line about “looking for the best 5 guys” to play up front. He watched films of Servais playing center in 2018 and felt that his playing there “gave us the best chance to run the ball. You need to be good up the middle.“ He said that a running back like Sean Tucker ”inspires the line to give a good back some air and get him to the second or third level. We have a scheme I believe in that allows us to be fast and physical.” He agreed that we need to cut down on the pre-snap penalties. (The penalties that actually take place during the play are more acceptable than the ones that take place before or afterwards). The toughest plays to block are the screen passes: “Every one has a different look.” Matt asked if having two quarterbacks created problems because they might have a different cadence or tone of voice. Mike wasn’t concerned with that as long as we “protect with passion and can run the ball”. Matt said that Mike “looks like a line coach”.

He hadn’t but recalled that he’d done a total of 10 first pitches in his time and believes he got one over. He said he was tutored by Coach Mike Schmidt. Hmmmm… [/QUOTE]
