On On One With DeMarvin Leal

Despite numerous reports elsewhere in the media, Leal’s commitment remains solid to the Aggies.

After taking the field for one last scrimmage before his senior season begins, coveted Aggie commit DeMarvin Leal caught up with TheOther98 yesterday afternoon.

After our brief interview, I was able to spend a few extra minutes with the fringe five star and really got a feeling for what makes Leal and the Aggies such a natural fit. First of all, the young man’s character will make him a fan favorite from the moment he steps foot on campus. His humbleness was very evident during our brief conversation, which was not surprising to me at all considering how he has handled his recruitment thus far.

This is a guy who is likely the best defensive player in the state this cycle, and yet he has still not been granted his 5th star. Why? That’s because he’s focused on his game, not what others like myself, or anyone else on social media have to say about him. When The Opening pleaded with him to come showcase his talent, their begging fell on deaf ears. When the mob of fans on twitter blew up his mentions, he signed out of his account. This is a young man who doesn’t need a spotlight to validate his work ethic.

However while he ducks and dodges the attention off the field, he takes center stage on it. Leal is an explosive athlete who has continuously wreaked havoc on opposing lineman for the Rockets the last two seasons. He is violent at the point of attack, has solid hand placement, and is equipped with off-the-chart athleticism. At 6’6, 280 pounds, that skillset and combination of size and speed makes him a prospect defensive coordinators across the nation salivated at. So that begs the question of, why Texas A&M?

According to Leal, the answer to that was the unique feeling of being in College Station, and the pristine relationship he has with the Coaching staff. DeMarvin has developed a strong rapport with Coach Brewster and Coach Price since his recruitment began, and it played a big role in his commitment.

Although he will not be back on campus till towards the end of the season, Leal said he spent around four days in Aggieland this summer and didn’t want to leave. This was of course after the cookout and pool party which brought many of the 2019 and 2020 classes together before their seasons started. That bond with his future teammates has also been a major factor in his recruitment. So much so that the Judson phenom will be enrolling in school this December.

The coaching staff made the young athlete a priority in this class early on in the process, and it’s easy to see why. Aggie fans will be rejoicing that decision for the next few years once he makes it to campus.

They said Cam Newton got 200Gsto gonto auburn for a year. Id think the pricenis higher for a freshman. 

It's not necessarily higher. Cam had more seasoning, winning an undefeated juco national championship

Like they say, it's an ongoing investigation. 

I remember when Chizik was asked point blank if they paid money to get Cam to sign with Auburn, he just look at the camera and said "WAR EAGLE!" and walked off. One of the funniest things I have seen at a presser.

SIAP, from Frenzy:

Colton Chumbley: The Genius of Jimbo Fisher's Offense
 

In his prior stops as both a head coach and coordinator, Coach Fisher has fielded some prolific offenses. With Texas A&M returning a crop of talented young receivers, a dynamic running back and two quarterbacks who flashed incredible potential last season, the pattern of success should continue.
When Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward lured Jimbo Fisher away from Florida State after winning 83 games and a national championship, he was showered with applause by national pundits and Aggie fans alike. The talking heads don’t fawn over a hire of this magnitude without reason. The 9th-year head coach has a track record and resume that speak for themselves. However, one area of his expertise that doesn’t garner enough attention is the explosive offenses he assembled in Tallahassee.

Let’s hit the film room real quick and I’ll show you a little bit of what I’m talking about.

Philosophy:

The easiest way to describe Fisher’s system is a multiple offense, with a spread influence. With that said, his system preaches physicality. Fisher’s teams have often prided themselves on their ability to run the ball in the red zone and in short yardage situations, which has been a significant weakness for Texas A&M in the past 4-5 seasons.

Depending on his personnel, he will often run the same play out of multiple formations in a single game. Although this may seem overly simplistic, the offense is actually quite intricate. Each play call includes multiple variations and each each position - backfield, receivers, and offensive line - will have a specific read depending on the defensive alignment (Note: many times the quarterback calls out these checks).

What also stands out about the offense is Fisher’s diversity as a play caller. This is not a one-dimensional offense - there is almost always a 55/45 percent split between the run and pass.

Quarterback

Quarterback is a high-pressure position in any offense, but Coach Fisher’s scheme puts a huge amount of responsibility on the man behind center. The scheme demands a lot out of the starting quarterback, including calling out the correct installment of the designed play and ensuring all players know their read. In other words, each play call will essentially have 3-4 plays within it depending on the defense. It’s up to the quarterback to check into the right one.

What I find interesting is Coach Fishers versatility here. Depending on who wins the job out of fall camp, Fisher has an innate ability to cater to his player’s strengths. At Florida state he won with true pocket passers like Jameis Winston and Christian Ponder, but also had success with dual-threat players like EJ Manuel and Deandre Francois.

Francois in particular is a pretty good comparison for Kellen Mond, who we fully anticipate to be named the starter. Like Mond, Francois is a mobile QB who had to improve mechanically before he became a significant threat under center.

Fisher did a great job implementing some RPO (Run/Pass Option) schemes with him while also developing quick hitting timing patterns to get the ball out of his hand as fast as possible. When Mond takes the field I’d expect more of the same.

Running Back

The backfield is where I think Aggie fans will see the largest difference this season. This year in College Station, we’ll be saying goodbye to the zone read and hello to power football.

While there will still occasionally be zone sets, Coach Fisher wants to run the ball between the tackles. This means you’re going to see a lot more traditional plays in the ground game. In particular, we’ll be seeing a lot more power blocking scheme, with the guard pulling and either the fullback or tight end kicking out. That play has been this staff’s bread and butter in prior stops and they have the ideal back in Trayveon Williams to run it.

Because of his success the past two years, Williams may be known nationally as a zone read runner, but I think we’ll see a new side of him this Fall. The electric playmaker has bulked up in the offseason and has reportedly thrived in the new scheme.

With Williams, I think a good comparison to look at will be Devonta Freeman. Like Williams, he’s a slightly undersized back with a similar skillset. While playing under Fisher, Freeman became a crucial weapon for the 2013 national champion Seminoles, gaining over 1,300 yards from scrimmage.

Tight End

We’ve heard the tight end storyline all summer long, and rightfully so. After 6 years of seeing the position basically ignored, Aggie fans are on the verge of seeing one of their most productive seasons out of the position since Jamie McCoy was snagging passes at Kyle Field.

Whether in a double set, in the slot, or in the backfield, we’ll be seeing Jace Sternberger or Trevor Wood virtually every time the Aggies take the field offensively. I’ll break down what they’ll provide in the run game when I get to the offensive line, but what should excite the Aggie faithful is what the two elite athletes bring to the passing game.

Very similar to how he operated with Nick O’Leary, Coach Fisher will have these guys heavily involved as receivers. By moving them all over the field, the tight end performs as both a safety valve for the quarterback in quick game and as chain-moving possession receivers in the intermediate (or 'sticks') passing game.

Wide Receiver
Receiver will be one of the more interesting positions to keep an eye on this Fall, especially as both Wood and Sternberger’s roles emerge in the passing game. If both prove too valuable to leave off the field, you will have a crowded log jam behind projected starters Quartney Davis and Jhamon Ausbon.

In the past, Fisher has been fairly versatile in his approach with the wideouts, mainly because TEs and WRs have been virtually interchangeable in route combinations. Pre-snap reads will be where the wideouts make the most adjustments, however.

With so many variations within a single play, this young crop of receivers is expected to read coverages in order to decide whether to extend or sit on their routes. This makes the chemistry with the quarterback something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Offensive Line
Any time an offense brings in a tight end or fullback into the picture, the offensive line is going to improve. Bringing an extra body into the box, in theory at least, allows the “big uglies" up front to get to the second level much easier than in a 4-wide alignment. In the passing game, this gives the tackles a few more seconds to work with, as the end or fullback will typically chip or cut the the rush end/blitzer. This change in scheme should drastically help an offensive front that struggled to get a strong push in the ground game and barely managed to hold their own in pass protection.

A technical difference Aggie fans should also notice is the blocking schemes. Under Kevin Sumlin his teams focused on zone blocking, with a running game that attempted to turn the corner outside the tackles. With Coach Fisher, he wants his lineman with their hand in the dirt, ready to explode off the ball. This smash mouth philosophy is a much welcomed change to a program that has been labeled as soft the last few years.

Though it will take some time for the players to adjust, I expect the Aggies to light up the scoreboard in the second half of the season. With a new staff in place that thrives on orchestrating their attack in accordance with their players’ strengths, the Maroon and White are well on their way to becoming a prolific offense again

Aggy is so desperate to create some kind of "toughness" narrative that they can't even keep their stories internally consistent.  The two run plays included over and over and over again on the RB "video" included in that post are outside zone and pin and pull.  Literally both runs where the running game "attempt to turn the corner outside the tackles."

Santino has been booted from Arizona now...aggy fan found some racist commentary on his HUDL account...doesn't seem like that would be accessible to the general public...very strange... 

 

 

Quote

Arizona dismissed linebacker Santino Marchiol from the program Monday, coach Kevin Sumlin announced, after a video surfaced over the weekend in which he twice appeared to a former Texas A&M teammate as a monkey.

The source of the video, which was uploaded just last week, was Marchiol’s Hudl account, a Web site where film and other analytics are stored. The offensive clip was discovered by Texas A&M fans and then circulated on social media before it was deleted.

I found this even more amusing:

"Fisher has an innate ability to cater to his player’s strengths"

Jimbo doesn't cater his offense to anyone. He's a control freak who is stuck on schemes instead of molding the offense to his players strengths. Revisionist bullshit.

If he does cater, I bet it's crab legs on the menu.
