FOX Sports’ Mark Schlereth’s Advice for the Penalty-Prone Jets’ Offense | The Rich Eisen Show

Well, speaking of mistakone, uh below the division uh line right now in the AFC East of the Jets at 0 and4, and I’m sure you were watching that Monday night game with keen interest because your next game on Fox is Dolphins at Carolina, um who you just saw in New England as well, Mark, but the number of mistakes the Jets made on the offensive line pre- snap and all of that stuff, uh I I lost track. And how do you fix that? How how as an offensive line or a coaching staff can stuff like that be fixed without I guess threatening people’s jobs, Mark? Yeah, the very beginning, the first drive they were in, I mean, they just they were just shoving it down the throats of the Miami Dolphins and I looked at that and said, even though they came away with the fumble by Allen, I’m like, dude, if you adhere to that philosophy, like you’re going to win this game. And you know, I think sometimes just in coaching in general, um, we just like to make it harder than it is. And I think the biggest thing, especially when you’ve got a lot of new moving parts, what you do with play callers and quarterbacks and, you know, players in general, offensive line members, is you try to game plan certain situations. You try to make it, you know, more complicated than it needs to be. And when you make a lot of pre-nap penalties, when you make a lot of mistakes, then it becomes like we have got to simplify things. There used to be a song uh a country song I used to like back, this is all the way back to when I was playing by Neil McCoy called Small Up and Simple Down. Like that to me is one of the best things you can do as an offense, especially when you’re making a lot of pre-nap penalties. You have got to make it as simple as possible and just say, “Hey, we’re gonna line up and we’re gonna physically just throw it down your throat and there’s nothing you can do about it. And we’re not going to be complicated. We’re not going to be, you know, in and out of personnel groupings and in and out of formations and motioning across and shifting guys. If we can’t handle it, if we’re not smart enough to handle it, like and and you have to know that as a coach. If we’re not smart enough to handle it, then you’ve got to be the ones that simple it down.” and and like if you put your team in a position or put a player in a position to fail, don’t be surprised when he fails. You’re the dumbass that put him there. So, clean it up, simplify it, and then, you know, you you can actually survive some of those things when you do that and you eliminate those pre-nap penalties. Well, I mean, does that have something to do with, again, this may be apples and oranges, Jordan Milada of the Eagles talking about that they’re breaking the huddle too late in Philadelphia. We’re all talking about what’s wrong with the Eagles run game and then what’s wrong with the pass game? They are 4-0, yada yada yada. But I is that something that he’s referring to in Philadelphia with their offense? Yeah. when when you when you break the huddle, like probably somewhere around 12 seconds is where you most teams break the huddle. I’ve talked to two quarterbacks in the last two weeks that have told me, man, if we can get out of the huddle at eight with 18 seconds left on the clock, how much of just having that extra six seconds, what that does for me as a quarterback as far as surveying the landscape, understanding what they’re trying to do to me, where they’re playing leverage, you know, who’s going to be open, what kind of coverage they’re in, like those things. And then when you start to motion and move guys around, all the different things that happen, you you start getting into a situation where you feel hurried, you feel rushed as you’re getting up at the line of scrimmage. And then everybody like it’s not just the quarterback. I mean, as a as a offensive lineman, man, I wanted to walk up the line of scrimmage and see, hey, man, what what front are they in? Are the linebackers kicked over? So, one of the things I always thought about with with linebackers in general, you know, where guys are supposed to line up based upon the defense that they present to you, the defensive front. So, if a backers if the linebackers, what we used to call boss over, which boss is backers over strong, or if the backers move to the weak side and they were out of position even by a foot or a foot and a half, as an offensive lineman, I would know, okay, if they’re bossed over strong, what are we going to get? we’re going to get weak side safety rotation. That safety on the weak safety is going to come down and they’re going to play, you know, a middle of the field closed defense. I want to know that stuff because it affects the way, you know, my blocking angles and my blocking schemes and who we’re going to as far as getting to second level defenders in the run game. It affects the way we talk about that. Well, all of a sudden, if you run up there late and you don’t have time to communicate that stuff, you’re not going to be as good. So yeah, time on the clock and getting out of the huddle efficiently. And sometimes that’s why a lot of teams, Rich, will like to play some tempo occasionally because with tempo, you’re always out of the huddle. Uh you’re not in the huddle. You’re always out on the line of scrimmage, you know, at at 18, 19 seconds. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that.
