00:00It's often said that, like, on the O-line, left tackle's the most important position,
00:05center's considered the second most important position, right?
00:08On an offensive coaching staff, especially when your head coach is not an offensive guy, per se,
00:15you've got your OC, you've got your play caller, right?
00:17That's the most important piece.
00:19A lot of times you say the second most important piece is your O-line coach
00:22because they're doing a lot of run game installations.
00:26So you not only have a first-year play caller in Blau,
00:29you have a first-year O-line coach in Darnell Stapleton.
00:33Like, this is his first time doing it.
00:35True.
00:36And David Rye is a guy I like a lot.
00:38It's his first year as the pass game coordinator.
00:40You had all these internal promotions.
00:42Like, how different does it look if Bobby Johnson's still running the O-line room,
00:48a guy that's done this for 20 years and just...
00:50To be honest with you, I don't think it looks very much different
00:53because I'm not watching a scheme that's getting the offensive line's ass kicked.
00:58I'm watching an offensive lineman get the ass kicked.
01:00This is individual effort and individual talent.
01:04So the scheme is not what they're making them lose.
01:09It's the individuals.
01:10I don't know if the scheme helped against Garrett and Donald.
01:12Well, then that's not necessarily the offensive line.
01:16The coordinator has to say, look, we're going to chip.
01:18Right.
01:18We're going to help.
01:19Right.
01:19So that's something that is not about the offensive line coach.
01:23We're going to have all the tools of this course.
01:23We're going to help.
