00:00Yeah, I would tell you the foundation of it is everything starts with the run.
00:09We find ways to run the football.
00:13We find ways to create matchups in the run game.
00:17Off of the run game sets up everything downfield in the pass game.
00:22We use the entire width of the field.
00:25We'll condense it.
00:26We'll expand it.
00:28And we use tempo to our advantage, put defenses to a disadvantage, try to simplify what defenses can do.
00:37And we try to create one-on-one matchups with as much space as you imaginably can.
00:42That's the offense.
00:44Yeah, Justin, I think the most important thing from whether it's offense, defense, or special teams, it all has to
00:51complement each other.
00:52When you talk about complementary football, it's got to match.
00:56And the culture you build on all three sides of the ball, it has to match.
01:01So if we're going to be uber-aggressive on offense, and by aggressive means calculated, that doesn't mean that you're
01:08doing things that are irrational or don't make sense.
01:11But if we're going to be uber-aggressive, we're going to make defenses play on their heels, the defense has
01:16got to match.
01:17You've got to create extra possessions.
01:19You've got to create explosives.
01:21You've got to get the ball back to the offense.
01:24And the special teams have got to match.
01:25If you're going to be uber-aggressive on offense and uber-aggressive on defense, when the special team's got to
01:30match, the special teams tie it all together.
01:33And as you look at what we've done throughout my time, whether it be as an offensive coordinator, special teams
01:39coordinator, or as a head coach, that's been the key.
01:43And I think as you build a culture within the program and you go into offseason training, and they understand
01:51that the theme of what you do is that you're going to be aggressive.
01:54That's how you train in the offseason.
01:56That's how you prepare in the offseason.
01:58And everything you do within the program is just that.
02:00If we're going to play fast on offense, play fast on defense, play fast on special teams, we're going to
02:04train that way.
02:05And I think it just truly becomes your foundation.
02:08It becomes the culture, quote-unquote, of the program that you're going to be aggressive.
