Finally got to watch Luke Kuechly’s coverage tape and I’m in awe. This is the best football player I’ve ever seen

Penix alternates between big time throw and egregious miss. Overall pretty good but volatile

TreVeyon Henderson pass pro is the football version of “if he wanted to he would”. If the 5’10/202-pound RB is blocking like this no one has any excuse

A lot of times saying a CB is best fit for a zone-heavy scheme is kind of a backhanded compliment but not with Travis Hunter. Never seen a college DB play the flats/shallow zones like this

Over the last year & 1 week, Caleb Williams leads NFL quarterbacks with 52 incompletions due to an overthrow (per TruMedia). 17 more than the next highest and added 5 more last night

Hasn't been used as much as a WR this year, but in 2023 he led FBS RBs in receiving yards by 95 and had 0 drops on 48 targets.

Mike Vrabel is proof that one smart clock management moment in a nationally televised game buys you 5-10 years of NFL media thinking you’re a great coach

Dianna Russini asked about Mike Vrabel on The Athletic Football Show:
"I don't think there was a fit for him. I don't think he sat in front of any owner who thought that his style was going to work for what they were looking for...I had a GM at the Senior Bowl who mentioned to me Vrabel's physical build. That he's a very large human being. And can be very intimidating to people in an organization that are going to be part of these decisions. And that is a factor."

Per TruMedia, Jalen Hurts finishes with the highest EPA/dropback for a QB in the Super Bowl since 2000. Top 5-6 in pretty much every other QB stat

Brian Flores coverage rotations are beautiful. Cover 2 out of double mug, Harrison Smith lining up in Wisconsin and dropping to the deep half. Would be a nightmare to read without being able to rewind 10x

- over the middle

Every time I go back to Travis Hunter's tape I'm reminded of how insane it was that calling him "average at 2 positions" was an acceptable opinion in college football discourse

Alontae Taylor's rookie tape was really impressive.
8 PBUs & allowed a 48.3% completion rate (3rd). Elite potential as a press corner

Travis Hunter has always been an elite zone CB, but the biggest development this year has been in man coverage. 2 1st downs allowed on 93 snaps, so much more patient & disciplined with his hips/footwork. It's amazing that he's this consistent in press man playing 132 snaps/game

Will Levis ending his (starting) career with the Titans by accidentally throwing a TD on a deep post is just a perfect encapsulation of him as a player

Kyren Lacy would have been sent to Angola prison, a former plantation that still forces inmates to pick cotton and doesn’t have AC. He was facing decades in one of the most brutal prisons in America for witnessing a wreck. Shit is enraging

Watched some underclassmen this morning and I’m really surprised Cam Coleman isn’t getting the same level of hype as the other stars from the ’24 recruiting class. Seems like people are putting the wrong Alabama (state) WR in Jeremiah Smith convos tbh.
I think Smith/Coleman will be a repeat of Julio/AJ Green in 2011 with both going top 5-6 and ending up as All-Pro caliber players.

Rueben Bain Jr. had 0 sacks, but was the main reason Stanford's offense couldn't function. All of this is from 48 snaps

Cameron Wake is the perfect example of how a “bag” is much less important than being athletic, powerful, and having a couple moves mastered. One of the best pass rushers of the 2010s and he pretty much just alternated between 2 moves every play

I know we cancelled Carson Beck after Alabama but he's been throwing absolute seeds the last couple games

Tennessee’s recruiting/development at edge rusher has been outstanding. Seems like they have an endless supply of top-50 picks to fill in when someone leaves for the NFL.
Joshua Josephs & Caleb Herring are good players, but it’s hard not to look ahead to 5-star rs-freshman Jordan Ross. Only gets ~25 snaps/game, but he’s the most talented player on the roster

Joke of a franchise. Shouldn’t have even been on the hot seat
Ran Carthon is out as the Titans general manager, per sources. Carthon spent two years in Tennessee with two different head coaches, and still has four years remaining on his contract.
A new Titans GM will make the No. 1 overall pick.

Azareye’h Thomas is my favorite press-man CB in this class (if he declares). Effortless mover at 6’2", A+ ball skills & route ID, it's hard to find a weaknesses in coverage. QBs have avoided him this year so he hasn’t been as productive, but I have a 1st round grade on him atm

Max Brosmer (Minnesota) is probably my favorite Day 3 QB. Absolute machine on intermediate throws and is by far the best anticipatory passer that I’ve watched. I’d draft him just to specialize as my 3rd & medium QB.
