Frazier Wired: NFL Replay Vikings vs Broncos

PrintI watched the NFL Replay of the Vikings/Broncos game, and they had Coach Frazier wired during the broadcast. Wow, what an eye opener that was. It was by far the most intimate look at Frazier's coaching style I've ever witnessed. I've been a vocal critic of Frazier this season, but after viewing this it may have changed my mind. I decided to recap all the Frazier Wired segments and transcribed almost all of it. I present it free of comment, but I hope that you'll provide your own thoughts in the comments section.
Early in the 1st quarter after the Vikings scored a field goal, Frazier is seen firing up the coaches, “Stick with the plan, stick with the plan…it’s working”
After the Ponder fumble in the 1st quarter, Frazier is seen speaking to Herrera/Loadholt, “Help the guys stay up, Stay up, lots of football left.” And also, “We’ll get it back”…he assembled the O-Line, and prodded them by saying, “Somebody’s got to take charge.”
Frazier Challenges the McGahee fumble and wins. He is then shown saying, “We HAVE to take advantage of the turnover” into headset.
Midway in the 2nd quarter, he is shown asking K-Will if they have an advantage on their O-Line Guard, checking to see if they have an advantage the can exploit on the D-line.
Frazier challenges a second time on the Thomas catch in the 2nd quarter, and wins.
After the ridiculous Rudolph TD catch, Frazier congratulates Rudolph, but also gives Gerhardt praise for the good running that led to it.
Interesting side note, Greenway was shown a couple times interacting with Frazier, and at the end of the 1st half, he seems to be trying to convince Frazier to go for the TD after the Jared Allen forced fumble.
Frazier confers with Musgrave and Ponder about running the 2-minute offense “just like we did in practice”, and both of them agree to go for a TD drive to end the half.
After their last timeout with 0:08 left in the 1st half, Frazier repeatedly says, “We gotta kick it, we’re kicking it,” Musgrave questions him on it, and asks, “You don’t wanna try one play?” He asks Musgrave, “Can your rookie Quarterback not hold the ball?” Frazier then says, “We can’t hold the ball..we gotta get points.” He is then shown telling Ponder not to hold onto the ball on their one chance to go for it. They go for it. And with Rudolph and Harvin on the sideline, Ponder rolls out, checks a few options very quickly and just throws it away. They settle for the field goal after all.
In the opening drive of the 2nd half, after Thomas burns our secondary for a TD, Frazier responds with, “How does that happen in Cover 2, man? The guy is just running a fade route! That is so bad.” He continually shakes his head. He is then shown with the secondary guys explaining to them what they did wrong, saying to Griffen, “you gonna have to hit him on that, you gotta hit him on the split. You give him free access, that’s just too much pressure on the safety. You gotta hit him, on the top of the numbers.”
After the Harvin TD in the 3rd quarter, Frazier is shown discussing the defensive scheme with Pagac on the sideline. He says, “…gonna make you blitz on 1st and 10 with wide open or blast, because if you play 2 and they throw the ball…we’ll get him on the ground it looks like. When he scrambles, somebody gets open. I don’t think you can abandon 2, but you got to think about the next 1st and 10 being over one, and then coming back to Cover 2 over 1 vs 6 over regular. Was that regular?” Pagac answers with, “That was regular.”
Right after that discussion, exactly what Frazier was afraid of happening, happens. Tebow scrambles and finds an open Thomas for a TD at the end of the 3rd. The play was essentially sandlot football, and our secondary was out juked in the open field as Thomas ran 15 yards to the endzone breaking 2 tackles.
After Harvin’s 2nd TD answers Denver's drive, Frazier is all smiles and fist pumps, and wrangles up Jared Allen coaching him by saying, “We gotta make this stand up. Tell ‘em that, we gotta make this stand up.” Allen knows what’s on the line and answers, “Yep, Yep.” He then gets in the face of EJ Henderson saying the same thing.
After Longwell kicks a field goal to go up 32-29 in the 4th, Frazier is seen coaching EJ Henderson again. Frazier says, “EJ, I remind you that we still gotta defend the run, but we gotta be able to become pass rushers also.” Then he calls up Benny Sapp, “Hey, Benny, if the ball bounces, we gotta keep it in the suit now.”
Denver marches down the field, and scores a field goal to tie it. After getting the ball back Ponder throws the interception deep in MN territory with 1:33 left. Denver moves it closer burning the rest of the clock off and kicks the game winner.

I think Frazier got it, I am gonna watch it soundfx
Frazier calm and seems like he knows whats goin on, how to communicate with his players, and I guess the thought process seems to be there
Can someone explain this quote, seems like Pagac doenst know, Defensive coaching staff gone for sure
He says, "…gonna make you blitz on 1st and 10 with wide open or blast, because if you play 2 and they throw the ball…we’ll get him on the ground it looks like. When he scrambles, somebody gets open. I don’t think you can abandon 2, but you got to think about the next 1st and 10 being over one, and then coming back to Cover 2 over 1 vs 6 over regular. Was that regular?" Pagac answers with, "That was regular."
I do not think it say anything about Pagac's knowledge of football
I think it is actually insulting to Pagac to even suggest he does not know football. He has been coaching since 1978. I am sure he has forgotten more about defensive concepts than many of are ever going to know including me.
As far as him asking “Was that regular”, I do not see what is the problem with that question. I suppose it never dawned on anyone how LOUD it is during the game and maybe he did not hear it and wanted to be sure what Frazier said.
I don’t think that Pagac does not know football. He is working with a secondary that is made up of backups at best and trying to do the best he can. I really cannot fault him when he has to work with this current group. Maybe he is not a defensive coordinator? I do not know. It takes some skill to be able to call the right play at the right time vs the offensive coordinator.
In the end it comes down to the players and the Vikings just do not have the players right now.
He's been coaching since '78 and barely became a coordinator now?
I mean that should be a bit of a red flag. And based on the fact that he stayed in Cover 2 vs Doubles is another red flag. If I am Frazier or Wilf, I will be looking for a new DC for the 2012 season.

I really cannot comment on that since I am not a coach. Like I said, considering the talent he is working with I cannot find too much fault. We do not know what he called and if the players just did not do their jobs.
I think it is a huge stretch to assume something based off of some sound bytes.
Maybe they will look for another DC but they need better players first and foremost. Sometimes good players can make a DC look better than what he really is.
I am not basing it off of sound bytes
I was commenting on it during the game in the game threads. I saw with my own eyes that the Vikings were in Cover 2 vs denver’s doubles formation. The sound bytes prove my point. Frazier asked Pagac if they were in cover 2. Frazier suggested to Pagac to mix it up. Thomas spoke about how the Vikes were in Cover 2 all day so they exploited it with doubles.
Yes the Vikes need better players. That is why I suggest they draft Claiborne if Kalil is gone. But coaching is a big part of it. Pagac is getting outschemed week in and week out. Denver does not have a prolific passing attack and yet they still were able to shread the defense. That is on the coaching. The coaches are obviously not developing players either because I have seen no improvement in the secondary over the course of the season.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
He might have had a hard time running something more intricate
as many people on the D were new to it (either rookies or just picked up off the street. I don’t know this for sure but it seems logical.
The Vikes aren't in a remodeling or reconstruction they are in a burn the place down and start praying they don't mimic the Lions rebuilding process.
Then frankly they should not be in the NFL
I mean seriously, I know you have said that you played some college ball. I coach 1A high school football and even we run multiple coverages. We run zone, man and combo coverages. I cannot accept that NFL players can’t run anything other than cover 2.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
My take on it...
It seemed as though Frazier was discussing different defensive schemes with Pagac, and must have been discussing on an earlier defensive scheme in the game. They appeared to be talking about Cover 2 vs Regular coverage for the safeties…regular being man coverage I assume? I’m not in on the lingo, so I’m just guessing here. Frazier asks Pagac if they were running a “regular” coverage, and Pagac answers that yes they were.
I don’t think it says anything about Pagac, so much as it clearly shows that Coach Frazier knows what he’s talking about with the various defensive schemes. And I would hope so after being our D-Coordinator for several years.
SKOL Vikings!
He was asking if it was regular Cover 2
Not off Cover 2, not press Cover 2, not Cover 2 man, just straight up regular Cover 2.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
I'll take your word for it
Again, I’m not in on all the lingo, so I don’t really know what they talking about.
SKOL Vikings!
Ya they clearly were not in man coverage
So it’s a safe bet that he meant “regular” or base cover 2.

Good read
Maybe now the people who think just because Frazier’s not screaming at people on the sideline whenever the camera crew happens to look at him that he doesn’t care about the game and is off in his own little world.
I guess
whenever we see Frazier he’s just there looking like Jim Caldwell. And we don’t see him telling them to do things right. I think Frazier is now starting to get it down because he seemed a lot more angry during and after this game. I think Musgrave stays because he hasn’t been overly bad, but Defensive staff goes. Great post.

Thanks for posting
Interesting stuff. I’ll confess that reading this post doesn’t change my impression of him as a HC. I’ve always liked his demeanor. It’s his decisions that upset me. Game time decisions and personnel decisions. It would be one thing if he approached this season as a rebuilding season, but he didn’t. He couldn’t bring himself to play the rookies and younger players until his preferred options either stunk to high heaven game after game after game, got injured and/or were skipping team meetings.
One quote that I thought was interesting was when he talked to Musgrave and referred to Ponder as “your quarterback.”
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
I found that interesting as well
I don’t know what to make of that comment “your quarterback”, but it would be very easy to read too much into that. It seems to me that, since Musgrave has a lot of experience developing QBs, that he’s likely taking extra time with Ponder, and maybe even has a stronger relationship with him than Frazier does, hence the “your QB”. Also, in the heat of the moment, it’s potentially Frazier removing blame if going for it doesn’t work, since he initially wanted to just kick a field goal.
SKOL Vikings!
it's very common for coaches to talk this way
Especially since Frazier is a defensive guy. Defensive coaches and offensive coaches often talk like this to each other about “each others players.”
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Props to CC for taking the time to do this
I watched the Replay last night as well, and also was intrigued. Here’s the main thing that I came up with, Frazier gives a lot of responsibility and authority to his coaches and his veteran players. That’s his coaching philosophy in a nutshell. He empowers the people around him. He’s not a micromanager. Obviously he has veto power on all decisions, but he doesn’t go all Gerald Ford with that power.
But I think this is the root of the problem when it comes to the in game decisions being made. This is Musgrave’s first rodeo. Technically this is Pagac’s first time as a DC as well. The clock management, the failed challenge attempts, the half time adjustments (or lack thereof) are all indicitive of a rookie coaching staff making rookie coaching mistakes. You have Fraizer who defers a lot of the decisions to his assistants who right now just don’t have the experience.

Agreed.
I think this is the polar opposite of Childress, who was almost draconian in his decision making. It was his way or the highway, and Childress seemed to micro-managed everything. I think Frazier has the respect of his players and coaches, but I also think that tends to lead to more mistakes for inexperienced players/coaches.

Musgrave
Forgot to mention this one in my reply, but this isn’t Musgrave’s first job as an OC. He was the OC at the University of Virginia when Matt Schaub was there. He was also the OC for the Jaguars from 03-04. He was fired as OC from the Jaguars before becoming a QB coach. But, this really isn’t Musgrave’s first go as an OC.
SKOL Vikings!
that's true, I had forgot about that
Now do I feel better or worse about that?…..
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Cool,
This just confirms my thoughts. I like Frazier and Musgrave, but I don’t like Pagac at all. Pagac needs to go.
"Like I said, I don’t think anybody on this team knows what schism is, let alone could use it in a sentence. I thought it was an STD when I first heard it. And I was like whoa, we preach abstinence around these parts." - Jared Allen
I think none of the coaches need to go, unless Frazier thinks so.
If we play badly next year then obviously that will not be the case, but at this point I don’t know why we should pick a scapegoat for what has been a complete shared suckfest.
At this point Pagac is working with 3rd tier talent in his secondary. They will struggle even when they execute to their ability. When they completely blow assignments, like Sunday, I will be tempted turn off my TV before it implodes from the massive suction. I will not blame Pagac for what is very clearly poor performance from inferior athletes.
The heinous acts of our secondary Sunday actually made me feel much better about our coaching staff. I am now entirely confident that (aside from Berrian and MacNabb) they have absolutely been putting our best players on the field. Otherwise, for the most part our problem is we need better players.
I’m not sure why… maybe it’s the kool-aid, but I am honestly beginning to get a good feeling about our chances in the relatively near future.

There was a report that Frazier was taking defensive responisbilities
changes must happen, were going through on of the worst season in viking history, I think the whole defensive staff is gonna be wiped clean, Frazier promoted from within, we were working from the same staff from childeress. Thats what I believe, pagac is gone for sure.
Here's where I disagree with Jshore
Had the Vikings been playing Green Bay and their prolific passing attack or the Saints for that matter, then I could probably buy your argument. But they weren’t. They were playing Tim Tebow and the broncos. The same Tim Tebow that completed 2 passes in an NFL game just a few weeks ago. The same denver broncos whose Demarius Thomas was already ruled a bust. Pagac and his lame scheme allowed that group to have a career day. Could the DB’s have played better? Of course, but the scheme was terrible and Denver exploited it.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
No. The DBs were terrible and the scheme did not matter.
You can draw all kinds of schemes but if the players do not perform what are the coaches suppose to do.
Thomas is not a bust yet. He has been hurt most of the time. I think he is on his way to being a bust if he does not step up big time in his third year. At the same time look at his QB situation.
I would take him on the Vikings.
I don't care how good the DB's are
Every coverage has it’s flaws. Cover 2 cannot be run against doubles because Cover 2 does not work vs 4 vertical routes. You are asking 2 safeties to cover 4 receivers. It doesn’t work. Listen to Thomas’s post game interview. He specifically talks about how the Vikings were in Cover 2 the whole game so Denver’s coaches ran the slot receivers on post routes to occupy the safeties and sent the wideouts on 9 routes which were uncovered because the cornerbacks had flat responsibilites.
A good DC would help his players out and hide their deficiencies as much as possible and put them in a situation to be successful. Pagac got schooled.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
I'm not saying Thomas is a bust
I’m saying that critics have labeled him that, and rightfully so when you look at where he was drafted and compare it to the production of Dez Bryant. I like Thomas, I think he has a bright future if he stays healthy and continues to develop. But his game against the Vikings was the game of his career thus far. That is my point.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
The only problem with the scheme was that the players couldn't execute it effectively.
Maybe it’s too complicated to remember for 60 minutes. Whatever the case, the players clearly blew assignments and/or were simply beat. To make matters worse, they may have actually missed more tackles than we saw in the last Green Bay game.
Cover 2 vs Doubles=fail
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
It's not really that simple
Sure 4 verticals is a classic cover-2 killer, but the scheme is adaptable to that attack. The corners MUST initiate contact and force an inside release, then ideally sink into a zone (based on the read). The outside LB’s should drop to a fairly deep zone, covering/squeezing the slot routes, and the safeties must not leave their marks before the ball is thrown. It does require accurate reads and discipline.
The objective is to squeeze all 4 routes until you either get a sack or force a throw into coverage. Tampa made the system popular by playing it to near perfection. Of course players make plays, and Aaron Rodgers would likely find success against that original Tampa team. We made Tebow look like Rodgers because our players failed miserably, not because the scheme couldn’t handle the offensive strategy.
But Denver runs a zone read attack
Our OLBs had to play the run first, and rightfully so. Perhaps that was the game plan, make Tebow beat them with his arm. But still once the game turned into a shoot out, Pagac should have adjusted. Hell after the first TD to Thomas Pagac should have adjusted.
And again, Denver didn’t run 4 verticals, the outside receivers ran the verticals, and the slot receivers ran skinny posts to occupy the deep safeties which prevented them from providing the cornerbacks help over the top.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
The post routes do spread the scheme but don't beat it.
They do if a safety jumps one before the throw, or if the WR gets too wide and deep too fast, both of which seemed to happen last week.
The post routes prevent the safety from getting over the top
If the safety ignores the post routes, then the post routes are open and youre still screwed.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Well, all of the routes open up eventually.
I think that the safety is ideally positioned to react to either route when the ball is thrown. If the play is allowed enough time to develop then the safety has to cover one or the other. If the QB isn’t forced to throw (or hopefully sacked) then you basically have 2 safeties covering 4 receivers so that obviously doesn’t work.
So I agree that the cover-2 concept fails at that point, but that’s not how our D was beat Sunday. The worse breakdowns I saw (wasn’t able to watch the game) involved WR’s coming free off the line and blowing the top off before the safety had time to get there.
we're not talking about 50 yard bombs
every time the Broncos ran that route combo and Tebow hit Thomas, the catch was made in front of the safeties. But again since the safeties were drawn away by the post routes they were not in position to make a play regardless. But none of those routes would have been open vs cover 4 and perhaps only one route open vs cover 3, but at least tebow would have had to look off a safety in cover 3.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
And the question I still have is were the corners told to play off the WR’s to try to disguise the cover 2 look. Because clearly neither Griff nor Burton jammed the outside receivers. If one did it, say Griff, then I would chalk that up to a veteran doing his own thing. But since both players did it (and I would think Burton being a rookie getting a look, would have done exactly what the coaches told him to do) I am led to assume that they were told to do so.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Check out the thread about Frazier being wired during the game.
One of his comments into his headset was about a corner having to hit a man at the line (after it obviously hadn’t happened).
I don’t mean to be overly defensive of Pagac. Obviously I have no idea what he was doing. Maybe he did get schooled or maybe he just failed, but I don’t believe that the scheme was the problem.
I read that thread
And watched the NFL Replay myself. I know how Cover 2 works and ideally your corners jam the receiver inside as you said to by the safeties time to get over the top. I’m just wondering if Pagac or the DB’s coach came up with the idea to not jam to try to confuse Tebow. Maybe Griff did it on his own, but Cover 2 is still a bad idea vs doubles and I will stand by that claim until the day I die.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
We'll probably never know this.
If that was by design then you’re right about the scheme being the weakness. I just assumed that we were at least calling for a sound executable defense. Even if our players cover their assignments there are plays to be made between the zones, and doubles is a good way to exploit that, particularly when your front 4 isn’t getting to the QB. I do think that a properly played cover-2 would force more precision than Tebow could have provided, even if the scheme is vulnerable to their set.
agree to disagree
But honestly, the most troubling part is that Pagac didn’t adjust. If he wanted to stay in 2 then he should have gotten in is DBs faces and made sure they understood that they have to jam the wrs. Or he just should have changed the coverage. But apparently he did neither because Denver continued to exploit the coverage (or lack thereof).

--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Maybe Griff did it on his own, but Cover 2 is still a bad idea vs doubles and I will stand by that claim until the day I die.
Agree. And the fact that they stayed with the cover 2 against it is pretty mind boggling.

Really great read
Kind of counteracts the silent statue on the sidelines we’ve been shown by the networks. Sounds like he’s learning a lot on the job. Too bad he’s stuck with quite possibly the worst secondary in football. We made Tebow look like a Manning…
This is a good post, but a lot of it also makes me pretty sad
We just have too many problems, including a linebackers corp which is not in the least bit feared on both running and passing plays (where are you, Ray Lewis?), a front line which has been taken out of nearly every game and just plain contained (with the exception of Allen), and cornerbacks and safeties which are rarely in the right place to make a difference in the game by getting a pick, let alone cover their assignments excellently, and even if they were positioned better they often fail miserably in tackling.
Everyone seems a bit befuddled in this mike-up.
I dunno, my opinion is that even with a high quality 1st-string secondary Pagac wouldn’t be able to make the game-time adjustments necessary.

the defense is in shambles right now
I’m afraid that only Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Chad Greenway would be starters on any other team in the NFL. To make matters worse, Pagac isn’t DC material. I hope the Vikings can draft Kalil in round 1 and use the other 10 picks entirely on the defensive side of the ball. We have a great running game, now we need a solid defense to protect our young QB.

Yeah
I’m wondering if Kalil decided that he didn’t want to play for Indy, Minnesota, St. Louis, or Jacksonville and decided to do another year. After all, he’s a southern Cal. native and we’re all a ways away from the bright lights.

He probably doesn’t care much since he’d be fresh out of college with massive debt on his shoulders. He probably wants to finish his degree and enjoy the college experience while he can. The NFL will still be here for him next year.
If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

I’m sure he’s on a full ride.
I’m pretty sure the sanctions are lifted next season for USC, right? It wouldn’t surprise me if he and Barkley returned. They’ve got a good team that seems to be maturing. They could be pretty good next season if those two stay.

Does anyone know where I can watch this?
I’m interested in hearing Frazier during the games. Just because you never see him talking when the cameras are on him. I think it’d be interesting to see.
NFL Network
NFL Network rebroadcasts a few games every week on their “NFL Replay” show. They show an entire game in about 90 minutes by editing out most of the downtown in the game and limiting the commercial breaks. They also skip through some of the 3-and-out possessions and incomplete passes/stuffed run attempts.
During most of the games there is a player or coach that is “wired” for that particular game only, and for the Denver game, Frazier was the one that was wired. He isn’t wired like that every week, so this was a special one time thing. I doubt that the NFL Replay broadcast can be viewed again, but it might be worth checking iTunes.
SKOL Vikings!
Response fail.
My response is down below. I’ve been doing that a lot lately and it’s bugging me. Haha
Yeah, I knew that.
But I’ve seen some “Mic’d up” things on Youtube which is just players and coaches throughout games showing what they say and the sounds of the game and whatnot. I was wondering if there was anything like that with Frazier.
