Back to one-on-one with D.P. Presented by Beatrice Bakery on 937 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Welcome back to one-on-one, and I, so we were, it's like Santa, dessert Santa, showed up here at the station and just dropped off this, just box after box of just heaven. And so I didn't want to cut into the chocolate, uh, into the, Chocolate fruit cake. But they had already opened up this turtle nut cake. I haven't had that one yet back there.

It's open. That. It's been staring at me, though. See, that one's dangerous because, like, I would get coffee on a weekend. And me. Oh, like, just coffee and that. Like, especially, like, this is, like, a perfect snowy day. But this afternoon, if I was home.

it's so gloomy outside this this is like perfect fruit cake and coffee me me and this this chocolate nerd it's a chocolate turtle nutcake and i thought it would be too much like too many things in it nope nope just fine no like i i try to stay away from from desserts like that but i just destroyed that slice in like three three bites and then i you know i know it was really good because i kept like licking my fingers that I got done and I realized I'm in this I'm in the station so I probably should have since I wasn't sure what had happened in the station earlier today I wiped it down we're good we're good like I wasn't real sure so I was like oh I probably shouldn't be looking at my fingers after I've touched everything in here but yeah that's pretty exceptional I'll have to I'll have to

go back there here in a second and cut me a slice well I know where Black Santa is going to be shopping this year. Black Santa is just definitely like. Only Beatrice. Oh, there's a bit. There's going to be. There's going to be some, some,

some wonderful bread, cake and fruitcakes in people's future. That is real, like that's, it's own lane. And I'm, I can't compare it to anything. So you have a bite and tell me whether,

whether we can do that. Yes, I will. Like, whether we can compare it. pair that. That was pretty good. And my coffee was just yum. The cake sounds like torture. Yeah, it's

or heaven. It's like, really? I was actually surprised, Brian. I was actually surprised by it. And they've never steered me wrong in them suggesting that I tell you something. That wasn't it. I was like, okay. That that was, come on, Nick. Come on, come on, come on. We're going to, I need

to see what that is now. Go ahead. and do that. Eric, thank you. Eric and Lincoln says, he goes, hey, Pete Purdue. It is the thing that I love yelling and it matters.

Okay, so Nick's going to take a bite. Right? Like, I, even when somebody tells you it's good and you, okay, yeah, that's,

yeah, yeah, that, yep, that's the word. Moist has been the word, right? It's been,

chemically nice taste man good stuff good stuff all around um the nitrol says uh none of this matters if the old line keeps doing their best impression of a bullfighter and another section of dpa i kept saying minnesota but i mean Purdue so there's definitely beat per dude beat Purdue week um yeah nitro you're right in that for whatever scheme adjustments you can I think, so I break things down offensively for Nebraska specifically, like line play, blocking schemes, route combinations for the receivers. Play call is vital and important to Adrian Martinez in the running game. So it's not just what they call, it's when they call it. And sometimes the play combinations don't match up.

So what you're asking the line to do matters most first, because whatever you're going to call requires that you have wins, a win or wins in the offensive front. And sometimes with that, in run sets, your wins could be with your tight ends. Your wins could be in Adrian's eyes. your win can be in a running back stretching. Sometimes the win could be point of attack with two blockers

that you've combo blocked and you've figured out, you know, how you want to get, who you want to get and who do you want to have to make a play. Like in some cases, you can double on an All-American lineman because you feel like the backer in space is a better matchup for your running back or your quarterback. You can also punish all-American linebackers by putting the work behind them. A lot of top-level, a lot of top-level linebackers, especially Big Ten types, don't like direct access.

They don't like people running at them, especially with big tight ends. The days of taking on full-backs is one thing, but taking on tight ends or taking, you know, a combo black between a tackle and a tight-end. look, that's a problem. Then you've got to understand in those run sets that a lot of those, if you're running outside, if you're running stretch or outside zone read, the receiver blocking is important. Trusting in your receivers to make what are often complicated blocks. It's a big difference between a receiver getting in front of a DB and shielding him. It's a whole other for him to actually make a block and dominate that space that they share.

entirely different. And then once you win that from the center out to the receivers on either side of the ball, which is what you're looking at. You draw a line down the middle of the field. You're trying to figure out of their 11, where are they more in numbers than we are? Then you go opposite that. And then at the point of attack is that I need to double up and have a win at the point in attack. If I don't win the point attack, then all the cute stuff that's going to happen around,

it doesn't really help me. I need to win the point attack. Right? I don't want my running back smack down at the line scrimmage. I don't want that. In some cases, the cuteness, which is requiring Adrian Martinez to get to a mesh, which is where he and the running back meet, and he gets his eyes, whether it be on one scheme, it's to the defensive end,

to another scheme, it's a backer on the edge. It could be, depending on how they line up out or even, it'll change his read, and then his, him getting outside. But if you're not winning at center, if you're not winning at guard, if you're not winning at tackle, all the other cute stuff doesn't really matter. This team's really good when Adrian Martinez only has one man to beat. This team's really good when Adrian Martinez only has one man to beat in his reads. When he's got one key and he can actually make a decision on that one key, Adrian Martinez is pretty good. He really is.

This offense is pretty good when Adrian has one key that he can focus on. Where they struggle is when one of those early reads is off time or out of place. That means a defender is not accounted for or he is missed or that defender has won already. Now, you can clean up that with Adrian's athletic ability, if it's just one defender who is achieved out of place, out of line, and with a win. As long as there's not two, this offense has a chance to make plays work, especially two to the play side where they felt like Nebraska felt like it had numbers. I know, we've got six blockers in this side, and there's an extra,

there's one defender down, and I'm not even going to read him really. I'm going to send all my all my donkeys and everybody else. And then Adrian and Adrian one-on-one on a read with a running back that's running with him. I want to see them put tight ends behind linebackers on a regular basis. And that's just them peeling off. That's just them making contact simply ride for a step or two to make them think it's a run. And then they slide into space behind them, make them turn their heads. The moment they turn their heads, Adrian either throws.

opposite where the head turn is or he runs opposite to where the numbers are. So if I see the back of a jersey, I run away from that because he's not going to be able to turn and make play. If I see his eyes, I'm going to, look, if I see his eyes, he can't see the receiver, especially in jail. Brian says the torture and that cake is what it does to my body. Amen, brother. I'm with you.

I'm with you. I'm with you. Matter of fact, I was going to talk about that in the next segment. My body is having a revolution. Not in a good way. Not in a good way. Nitrol says this line from the Texan, this line just never has shown the nasty streak you want to see in the big uglies.

Well, here's what I've learned being around different schemes and systems and organizations. The linemen become big nasties when they are allowed to build. people. It's very difficult for offensive linemen to get their big nasty rolling when they have to dance with people. Past pro and zone blocking can often end up with being more about footwork and handplay than it is about mashing people, getting your hands on folks and mash them. When done right, you can be big and nasty with it, but when done averagely well, yeah? basically well, then it's hard for you to get enough routine enough

to pound on somebody over the course of four quarters. Most linemen that I've worked with love the fact that, you know what, just tell me I can get my hands on somebody and put them in the turf. That's what they want to be able to do. But this is a thinking man's game. This is a thinking man's offense. They've got cute footwork.

Look, man, when you found masters back in the day, they put their foot in the ground, they one step after another, hands and feet. And they would just march you down the field until you gave up. This system doesn't do that. It doesn't even do it in short yarders. That explains the short yarder issue because you simply can't line up, man up, and put your hands and feet to work.

My favorite Joe gives phrase was sometimes you've got to fat in your neck and move people. But today's schemes have a lot of footwork. Kickstep, they got to slide, they got to get into space, tag team hands, in the right place, right, right times. And you've got a combo block and get in space. All those things are cute. But in the end, as you said, sometimes you just want to see a nasty streak from the big uglies.

I do not disagree. They will be necessary on Saturday. They absolutely will. We'll close out one-on-one. I want to tell a little bit of a story from Friday night. and then we'll get a little bit more into basketball and close it out. And then I'm looking forward to 4 o'clock because, you know, the Tasmanian doubles of Nebraska sports.

Matt Obdamaic will join us at 4 o'clock. Batting down the hatchet, boys, ladies, clutch your pearls. We'll close out one-on-one after the break. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to One-on-W-W-on-W. with DP on 937 the ticket and the ticketfm.com.
