From the Athletic story - Enos interview yesterday
Asked what he keeps his eyes on before the snap when he is coaching, Enos said: “The first thing I do is I’m looking at the defense to see where they’re lining up and get the front and I get the coverage. And usually, the two safeties will tell you. We say they have the keys to the castle. One of those safeties is usually going to give away the coverage and any possible blitz.
“But me personally, I watch the point of attack, meaning if we’re running a lead-zone weak play, I’m watching the play-side tackle and guard and the fullback. I’ve been doing it for so long, I kind of see if somebody missed the block.
“And if it’s a pass play, I’m looking to exactly what I teach the quarterbacks to do. So, we give them a movement key on every play on a pass play, which means that they’re going to read a defender, a certain defender and key his movement, and that will allow (the quarterback) to make a decision whether he’s gonna be throwing it to the first guy or the second or the third. And so, I’ll play just like the quarterback when the ball is snapped and my eyes are going to go exactly where his eyes are going to go to help him when he comes back to the sidelines.”
He said in that interview that after practice the staff convenes and reviews the practice tape in detail, breaking down all the things each player needs to work on and includes all the positive things they did right. They also put together the install plan for the next practice.
He mentioned the following with regard to the install:
So as an offensive staff, we go through that and make sure that every coach in the room is on the same page. That takes quite a bit of time.
“One thing you have to understand is that we may have a play offensively, but we have to block it versus all the different fronts, blitzes and coverage that we may see. So, it goes from one play to 10 times that. Then we script for the next day, which means I have to actually physically write down every offensive play we’re going to run, the personnel, the formation, the hash it’s going to be on, the down and distance.
WOW I have no doubt we will be more than ready for every game this season.....
