The TD Pod — Baylor Season Preview ... Part 1

In Part 1, Jeff and I leaned into our rambling nature, going from topic to topic in a disorganized fashion. All is relevant to Baylor's 2022 season.

1:25 — Why Jeff has believed since the end of 2021 that 2022 Baylor can be Baylor’s best ever team.

10:45 — How Baylor’s defense transformed from a top 25 unit to a top 10 unit by the end of 2021.

20:25 — What makes Aranda special is that he knows how to implement complicated scheme in a way that his players can understand.

28:30 — Is it an anachronism to run your offense through an offensive line instead of skill talent?

43:00 — How the OL allows Shapen to operate within the offense.

46:20 — Has Shapen’s internal clock been sped up due to facing such a good pass rush in Fall camp?

50:35 — How a staff manages getting in defensive pressure packages while allowing the offense to get their feet under them.

54:10 — What does it mean to be a disciplined team and how does a coach craft one?

1:00:45 — Contrasting Aranda’s meticulous style to Briles’ “gotta go fast” style; i.e., teams do what you practice.

1:03:10 — How does the team respond to adversity on the road?

1:05:10 — The offense expanding for Blake Shapen.

1:10:45 — Wide receivers “naming themselves the starter.”

1:16:20 — Does Shapen command the respect of the team?
