Live Spring Press Confrence

Simplifying the offense by reducing verbiage. Trying to simplify schemes for the guys. Make it make more sense. His philosophy is that he wants the kids to understand and run the offense, not just run plays. If they know how/why things fit, and they have to make adjustments, the kids will get it.

 
Fisher is doing well. Everyone's excited, and Beck is excited about everyone and how they're gelling. He's concerned that coming up he has to go up against two of the best defensive minds in college football (Bo and Carl).

 
They're working at establishing depth at QB, and everywhere. It's a simple game - go where they're not, and keep doing it if it's working.

 
Right now the biggest issue is deprogramming the guys. Changing their thought process, and changing the verbiage. It's too early to say they have the pieces yet. They're going to have growing pains - they're not even crawling yet.

 
You don't win games with plays, you win them with players. It may take a week just to get the verbiage down, and they're OK with that.

 
Beck's influences are mostly defensive coaches. For offense you learn most by listening to the great defensive minds and learning from them what hurts them.

 
Turnovers. He has a plan in place to fix this, but he hasn't shared it with the team yet. It has to be something the players are accountable for. The way he'll fix it is a fear issue, not a technique issue.

Beck isn't going to throw Watson under the bus, but he's basically saying that Wats' system was too complex.

 
They're trying to get Beck to give them a soundbyte about Wats but he's having none of it. Class.
