If you look at the cover photo for this story, you will see USC’s Korey Foreman with a hand down, part of the three-point stance technique.
Guess what? The new USC coaching staff doesn’t want that for Foreman in 2022.
Antonio Morales of The Athletic talked to outside linebacker coach Roy Manning, who is taking on the task of coaching Foreman this spring.
This season Foreman is listed as a “rush end” by USC, as opposed to a more traditional defensive lineman. Instead of putting his hand in the dirt, he’ll be standing up much more often than he did last season.
Foreman has been watching film of Chase Young, Von Miller and other NFL edge rushers of the stand-up variety. “I’m next up,” he said.
Foreman is mostly working with outside linebackers coach Roy Manning, who admits he needs to coach Foreman a bit differently than other players since he’s still in the early stages of his own spring practice after the injury absence. Manning seems encouraged by Foreman’s urgency and aggressiveness, but he said it’s his job to get Foreman to temper that in acclimating to his new role.
“He played, I think, to the field, to the boundary, his hand in the dirt, his hand up,” Manning said. “That’s one thing we kind of had to work out when spring first started, putting guys in the right place. … I think it’s hard to get the most out of somebody if you’re going to switch them around, move them around a lot. I get it, he’s a highly touted guy, and you try to find a place for him and get him on the field anyway you can. He’s got the tools and skills, I think you put him somewhere and just let him go.”
