    Seth Drennan and CoastAg take the mics (while Matt is at a volleyball tournament) for Episode 26.15 to dissect the film from Texas A&M's shutout victory over The Citadel.

    26.10 | LSU Film Review: Struggle Session

    Seth Drennan and CoastAg (Matt Folmar is out this week) sit down for a brutal "struggle session" to review the tape from Texas A&M's frustrating road loss to LSU. The guys pull no punches on the offensive regression, looking at Marcel Reed's (#10) continued struggles with pocket presence and drifting backward instead of stepping up to beat the rush. Despite leaning on a successful ground game early from Rueben Owens II (#4) and Carsyn Baker (#22) behind Wilkin Formby (#75) and true freshman Lamont Rogers (#79), the offense bafflingly abandoned the run in a one-score game. Seth also breaks down the "soulless" playcalling and low-IQ penalties from Micah Riley (#88) and Kelshaun Johnson (#11) that wiped out rare explosive plays. On defense, there were some bright spots in the box from Noah Mikhail (#0) and young guys like Tristian Givens (#22) and Bryce Perry-Wright (#16). But the secondary film was an absolute blender. CoastAg breaks down the coverage busts, split-field miscommunications, and missed keys from Dalton Brooks (#7), Jordan Shaw (#8), Dezz Ricks (#2), Rickey Gibson III (#9), and Marcus Ratcliffe (#3). Finally, the episode wraps up with a trip to the "Film Transfer Portal" to cleanse the palate with some functional offensive execution from Florida. In This Episode: The Common Denominator: A hard look at Texas A&M's coaching extensions and regression trends over the last decade. Marcel Reed & The Pocket: Comparing Reed's tendency to drift backward against freshmen and veteran SEC quarterbacks stepping up to beat the rush. Abandoning the Run: Why the playcalling felt disconnected from the flow of the game when the Aggies were successfully moving the LSU defensive line. Secondary Miscommunications: Breaking down the pre-snap confusion and blown keys that left defensive backs playing the same zones. The Youth Movement: Why it might be time to unleash younger players like Brandon Arrington (#23), Aaron Gregory (#3), and KJ Edwards (#0) to build for the future.
