The Solid Verbal: Celebrating OL/DL with the SEC Network’s Cole Cubelic
If we could get away with only focusing on line play, we honestly would.
***
On our latest scheme tangent/celebration, we welcome Cole Cubelic, analyst for the SEC Network (and former Auburn OL), onto the show to deep dive line play in 2017, both in the SEC and beyond. Topics and questions include:
• Which line position, offensive or defensive, is particularly strong in the SEC this year?
• Which line group nationally isn’t necessarily the most talented but the best built for what that team is trying to do?
• How difficult is it to be multiple on defense with limited practice time (at least compared to the NFL)?
• Which sports is it encouraging to see offensive and defensive linemen play outside of football, and what skills do those sports help to develop?
• Who’s particularly good at evaluating, especially knowing elite talent probably isn’t enrolling at their school?
• How varied is the evaluation process from school to school?
• How do coaches overthink and how does it affect on-field performance?
...and much more! Including pizza!
