"No Coaches on the Field" — What That Ole Miss Scrimmage Was Actually For | Deuce Knight Shines

Bryan Brown didn't tell us what the first scrimmage looked like. He told us what it was for — and once you hear it, the whole thing makes sense. IN THIS EPISODE: 🎧 "No coaches on the field." That was the test. Brown said the staff played a lot of players specifically to see the ones who hadn't been in that environment — in the stadium, with nobody out there to help them — to find out who can communicate on their own. Which is why that was an NFL preseason opener: Chambliss took one series, Kewan Lacy barely touched it, Echoles and Perkins sat, and most of the interior line and secondary never played. It wasn't load management. It was a diagnostic to make sure your depth is actually your depth.
