Deion said coaches are trying to beat him, not his team [what and who he represents, i.e. the black and red down underdog]. Word.
Also true is that Deion beat his team in this fourth game of the season by not making enough changes in regards to play calling and blocking schemes. Or at least it wasn't executed, which goes back to practice and coaches and Deion as the one who should override all play calling if coordinators are stuck in the muddled logic of not changing what ain't working.
Who doesn't know on offense, if a team is bumrushing you, to throw screen passes and quick slants and hitches?
Who doesn't know on defense that if you can't stop the run you will get your ass beat? So put more people in the box and play man to man pass defense? Blitz early and often.Who doesn't know Oregon Coach Lanning is the same racist as Lee Corso as hundreds of millions of people in the US of North America? How ridiculous is it for Oregon to act like they just beat a perennial powerhouse with recent history and recruiting advantage such as, Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State?
Who doesn't know that if Coach Prime doesn't take control over the game plan and play calling in all three phases and learn to make adjustments constantly and early, they won't win another game unless the other team loses the game?You cannot be great as long as you continue to make basic mistakes.
We see it all the time in all sports at all levels where teams get beat by a lot of points and where teams win in all categories except points. Many people say it's normal, but I say, if you see something ain't working in a game, why wait until the end of a quarter or halftime to make changes. It's like flying a plane that's stalling (has no wing lift). Do you wait or do you act immediately and keep reacting until the plane is under control? How do teams get beat down by lots of points even in Superbowls or NBA playoffs? At what point do coaches, and players, just get locked into frozen motions like deer in headlights, moving on the inside saying, oh shit, but making no outward changes to avoid getting run over?All this is to say: Simplify the game. Simplify practice and preparation. Simply halftime instructions and timeout instructions. Make sure each thing during practice is helping the player perform optimally physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Write it down and make sure each thing done is the best practices of practice.
For the life of me, I'm not sure why people think that as you get older and go from midget league, junior high, high school, college and professional, that the sport must be made more complicated, including play design and play calling. It's mind-boggling in many ways that play calling, for example, in the NFL is so convoluted just to tell people where to line up, who to block and where to run. It is better to have your team focus on executing the essentials (the fundamentals) consistently well, rather than have them execute a lot of things suboptimally, including getting penalties, which seems to happen at least half the time.Help the player de-clutter their minds so they can perform fundamentally and athletically.
Many Giri So guru's talk about how “the game has slowed down” for players who have gained experience. This should also apply to coaches as well. I say, the job of coaches is to help slow the game down for players and coaches with less experience. This is done through simplification, and then repetition of simplification, and then silence and stillness that allows each player to orient that information, belief, confidence and knowledge in a manner that allows them quick, easy, front and center automatic recall.
Deion speaks summarily about aspects of this philosophy, but somewhere something is causing a loss of translation during the game. Remember, Deion is a proxy for the micro and macro manifestations of creation bringing forth climate environmental changes, thus this is not limited to, or unique to Deion and Colorado. I see this in all sports and all levels of sports, thus also in all aspects of life.
When I say, Deion Lost The Game Against Oregon, I don't mean he lost the football game, I mean he lost the game of having his coaches and players prepared to put forth their best and at least attempt several offensive, defensive and special team adjustments. We saw in the Colorado State game where the defense never seemed to understand how to stop crossing routes, and now in the Oregon game how, for example, the offense never attempted a screen pass or a planned rollout or a reverse or a … Come on now!
