00:00This quarterback, they're seeing ghosts today, and I've always wanted to hear what that term
00:08means and maybe how we can relate it to seeing ghosts on the golf course, whether it's like
00:14noticing the out of bounds stakes or noticing the lake.
00:17I just wanted to kind of get your sense on what your feelings on seeing ghosts means.
00:22Yeah, it's well, seeing ghosts, it's very applicable to golf because like every time
00:29you take a drop, you have to be fully committed, you know, like it's, I mean, yes, there are
00:35things that you have to account for that are unexpected, but you have to be fully committed
00:40to the play will work.
00:41Like if you go and exit the huddle and you are not a believer that this play will be
00:45successful, like it has no shot before it even gets started.
00:47Yeah, that sounds a lot like picking the wrong club and wrong shot.
00:49Yeah.
00:50Whenever you're standing over, it's like, I need to hit this low.
00:53And like all of a sudden you just forward press just a hair and you miss it right and
00:56hit it off the hosel.
00:57Like, yeah, I've done that.
00:59But it's very similar, I think.
01:01And when you see ghosts, it's you're just not trusting what you're seeing.
01:05So for instance, like you see two safeties, quarterbacks are always taught to read it
01:09from the front to the back.
01:10So you go, you know, throughout your week of prep, you know what the defensive front
01:15is going to look like based on where the nose tackle is, the guard, the like, you know,
01:20where guys are and you know, their tendencies, like when they blitz, do they blitz out of
01:25this formation?
01:26Do they blitz out of this alignment out of this front?
01:29When they blitz out of this front, let's say you have a three down defensive line.
01:32All right.
01:33Well, I know if they have a three down defensive line, I got problems.
01:35So I can have problems left.
01:36I can have problems, right?
01:37I need to make sure the Mike's sorted out.
01:39Like who's the Mike linebacker?
01:40Who are my offensive lineman accounting for?
01:43Is this guy taken to which two are mine?
01:46So three down fronts are hard for down fronts are a little bit more manageable.
01:52But after you had diagnosed the front and where your problems could come from, you look
01:57at the safety and you have to identify coverages.
01:59And when you look at the safeties, you either see two or one and most offenses are saying,
02:05all right, this is a two high safety beater like this throw, this route combination beats
02:12two high safeties.
02:13On the other side, this is a one high safety beater.
02:16So if you see a two high safety beater and all of a sudden they roll to one, you need
02:20to be on your one high safety beater.
02:22If you see one and they rolled a two, you need to go to your two high safety beater.
02:26Then you have man concepts that you can check to if you see man and things like that.
02:30So when you see ghosts, it means that they're really in too high.
02:35But instead of going like this, maybe they went like this.
02:38And then the third corner goes that way and they play like a three cloud, which is basically
02:42a one high safety, but it looks like two.
02:45So you see what people are going to be.
02:48Yeah.
02:49I think I know where they are, but I don't really know where they are.
02:52Like I'm freaking out.
02:53Where's my running back?
02:54You know what I mean?
02:56Did you ever see ghosts when you play?
02:57Oh my God.
02:58Yes.
02:59All the time?
03:00Oh, absolutely.
03:01Yes.
03:02Now sometimes more than others.
03:03And sometimes the game's just moving way too fast.
03:04Yeah.
03:05It's just like, Oh my gosh, this is, or for instance, like you see ghosts where you see
03:10an alignment and all of a sudden, Hey, okay, shoot, they're rolled this way.
03:14I could have pressure this way.
03:16Let me adjust the protection.
03:17Hey, William, you go take this Mike linebacker to the right hand side.
03:22Number 57.
03:23He's yours.
03:24Hey, Mark, you take this guy to the right hand side.
03:26Number 42, he's yours.
03:28And then I'll take number 36.
03:30It's the will linebacker.
03:31Well, you see that you adjust the protection.
03:34Now the shot clock's coming down and you got to snap it.
03:37And all of a sudden they roll back the other way and the safety is coming the other direction
03:40and we're toast.
03:41So like you're seeing ghosts cause you see something, but it's not really, it's not reality.
03:45Like you need to just play and react.
03:47So, um, seeing ghosts is a very real thing.
03:49It's not that dissimilar than, like, I've never played Augusta, but like they always
03:53talk about, um, whole 12 and how, you know, the smart play is to hit it right over the
03:59tongue of the, of the bunker.
04:00Right.
04:01I guess that's what they say to me.
04:03That seems like a really, you have a bunker in the front of Bronco bunker in the back
04:06and I really don't want to be in the bunker in the back.
04:08So I feel like I did bail out left, but long story short, I feel like a lot of players
04:16because of how that hole sits into the terrain overanalyze the wind.
04:21And they're looking at it and they're thinking, okay, I got, I don't, there's no wind up there.
04:25And then the announcers are always like, there's wind just telling you account for the wind.
04:28You're going to hit it and raise Creek.
04:30Like you're going to account for the wind.
04:31I think that's kind of what seeing ghosts is like.
04:33It's not really there, but it is to an extent.
04:37So it's like, it's just seeing things that aren't really reality is what seeing ghosts
04:44is.
04:45And that's a hard thing that to deal with.
04:46And it's a hard thing to shake really as a quarterback.
04:49It really is.
04:50It's terrible.
