    Ep 26.6: 48-20 ASU Breakdown! KJ Edwards RB1? + Reed's Mechanics

    Matt Folmar and Seth Drennan are joined by CoastAg to break down Texas A&M’s 48-20 victory over Arizona State. The Amigos jump straight into the film room to break down what actually happened on the field versus what the box score shows. The crew analyzes Marcel Reed's dropback depth, why the offense shifted from zone to gap schemes in the second half, and why freshman tailback KJ Edwards needs early snaps. On defense, CoastAg breaks down how Mike Elko completely hijacked Kenny Dillingham's slow-mesh RPO by dictating the mesh point, triggering Julio Humphrey’s pick-six, and unleashing linebacker Noah Mikhail and the front seven. ⏱️ Episode Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 - Intro & Celebrating 11,000 Views! 01:58 - Bo’s Flag Football House Call 03:36 - The Tres Amigos Philosophy: Coaching Perspective & Lagging Indicators 07:13 - Arizona State Overview: Reed's Mechanics & Play-Action Solution 10:39 - The Running Back Room: Why KJ Edwards Needs Early Snaps 15:33 - Marcel Reed Mechanics: Deep Drops vs. Traditional Play-Action 18:38 - CoastAg’s Rant: Atrocious Perimeter Receiver Blocking 26:41 - O-Line Breakdown: Finding the "Nickel" & Fixing Puller Footwork 33:09 - Missed Tackles Forced Rate: What the Data Says About A&M's RBs 41:25 - What to Fix This Week: Tunnel Screens & Pocket Depth 45:13 - Defensive Masterclass: How Elko Solved Dillingham’s RPO 52:45 - Scheme Breakdown: Attacking the Mesh Point for the Julio Humphrey Pick-Six 55:54 - Secondary & LB Depth: Noah Mikhail, Jordan Shaw & Physicality 58:04 - What Is Texas A&M's Offensive Identity? 59:40 - Outro & Gig 'em!

    Tres Amigos 26.1 | Texas A&M Spring Game Deep Dive

    The 12th Man is back at Kyle Field! Join Matt, Seth, and Coach Brown (The Tres Amigos) as they break down everything they saw from Mike Elko’s "old school" spring game. From the physicality of the O-line to the concerns at Tight End, we’re diving deep into the roster before fall camp. What we’re covering today:We’re looking at the impact of the transfer portal, specifically the new additions from Alabama and LSU, and why Adam Cushing might be the most important coach on the offensive staff. We also discuss why the "stable" at running back is as deep as ever and if Marcel Reed’s "happy feet" are a concern or just spring jitters. Stick around for the end where we talk about the "dirt bags" on the baseball team, the power hitting of Aggie Softball, and the Volleyball team's recent trip to the White House!

    Miami Film Breakdown (Ep. 25.18): Who Are We on Offense?

    Welcome to Tres Amigos Episode 25.18 — our Miami film breakdown and likely the final episode of the season. First off, thank you. We crossed 1,500 subscribers this year, and the interaction all season long (including Miami fans) has been incredible. We open with a shoutout to Carthage and two future Aggies — linebacker Qui Beck and running back KJ Edwards — and why both of those guys look physically and mentally ready to contribute early. Before diving into football, we take time to celebrate Aggie Volleyball’s historic national championship run. Three straight sweeps of #1 seeds, Kendall Stowers’ unbelievable comeback, Coach Jamie Morrison’s culture, and why that program is building something sustainable. Then we break down the Miami game: The defense gave up 10 points on 49 snaps — that should win you a playoff game. The bigger question is on offense: who are we? Why the last few games felt like a drift away from 12 and 13 personnel, tight ends, and the body-blow run game. How shell defenses (Texas, Missouri, Miami) force patience — and why YAC players like Mario Craver are the antidote. A film breakdown of key moments, including a counter/BASH bust, and a deeper discussion on scalability vs executability vs personnel — when an offense becomes a buffet instead of a system. We close with thoughts on staff structure, offseason fixes, and what we want to see heading into 2026. We’ll be back once the portal settles, again around spring ball, and after the spring game. Drop comments with offseason topic ideas and guest suggestions.
