Below are some words Coach Heupel used in his post-Spring Practice press conference. What do the players understand these words to mean?
FITS
Of a safety, Heupel said "...he’s physical and great at making plays in open space when we’ve had scrimmage days. He’s been great in his fits. I like his growth. "
Of offensive linemen, he said, "I think alignment is one thing, but then also your fits off of that is something that we have to continue to grow in."
CUT-UPS
Of a qb, Heupel said "We’ll lift when we get done with our spring ball next week. He has a chance to go back through spring cut-ups and really evaluate himself and how we operate and function."
Of the wide receivers, he said "They need to get on the back end of spring ball, revisit the installs, revisit the cut ups, grow in their strength here as we go through the summer,"
SIGN
On what he wanted to see at practice today, Heupel said, "You see guys align, sign and play ball and make plays."
PRESSING
Of the running backs [not defensive backs] he said "...without looking at the video, probably had their best day as far as pressing line of scrimmage, hitting holes, playing with really good pad level at the end of the runs, finding a way to get plus two."
-------
Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable explanations (but maybe not so much for blind guesses and bad puns).
Feel free to use this thread to post your own questions about jargon. I think informed fans always get more from the game. Heck, by fall, we might become so edumacated, we'll be throwing Grey Poupon.
