The Film Guy grinds some QB tape...

I was surprised to see this video popup on my feed. Wasn't expecting a spring camp break down from The Film Guy but hey he knows TN brings the clicks

If what he said about Faizon being one of those coachable kids that you can tell to fix something and it's done GMac better bring his A Game, I'm pretty sure he'll start but if he stumbles or gets hurt he may find himself at the #2 spot

Duane Morris at 15:00 ish is what I’ve been talking about with his feet and jump cuts.

By far the quickest and shiftiest back on the roster. Excited that he is likely RB2 this year alternating series with Bishop...and I love Bishop because the hometown guy has worked as hard or harder than anyone on that roster to get to where he is. Hes tough and always falls forward. Morris just adds a different dimension in space or creates space himself like he does in the clip. It will be interesting to see if Baker or 1 of the new backs can steal some snaps from the RB3 spot here and there.

Idk how encouraging it can be, to hear an analysis that says a quarterback who's been in high school and is going to be a freshman, is likely better than a premium-rated quarterback who's been in a division-one football program for over a year, under a coach that is supposed to be adept and specialize at teaching QBs specifically.
*Just riffing off the Film Guy's analysis, not a personal assessment or qualified opinion
Having said that, then where is CJH with the QB whispering and coaching acumen to fix the habitual mechanical flaws of his pupil(s)?
With the numerous times CJH has lucked into having to play his best "gamer", and the apparent lack of development with younger incumbent QBs, should we revisit the notion that CJH is as efficient coaching QBs as we have convinced ourselves (Volnation) he is?

I think there are several encouraging factors.

We landed Gmac who was a 5* at one point and very highly rated, qualifying for Elite11 before being hurt.
Then we landed FB who is a consensus 5* (top32 player) on every service and #1QB in the nation, #1ranked recruit period til he also got hurt in HS. Best in his class IMO.
Gmac was said to have the best command of the offense and decision making even up to and including the spring game in 2025.
CJH was able to take an unheralded transfer QB last year and have him break 3000yds passing and led the SEC in passing yards.
We have 2 elite QBs on roster, the younger of which has the talent level to likely be one of the best we have ever had.
Iron sharpens Iron. These 2 will elevate eachother.
Both QBs have cannons and touch on deep balls. Both are healthy with no injuries.

I'm glad he mentioned George's recruiting... I think a lot of people have forgotten how highly touted he was. I wonder if this is the first time we'll see Heup play two quarterbacks for a few games...

Don’t see it unless we got a lead and giving the other QB snaps but in this case whoever starts needs those snaps neither played any meaningful time at the college level

Film guy is a bit off about Josh— it’s more about decision making at this level, not so much about throwing mechanics, because the later is very hard to change by the time a kid reaches college. A few can, but it takes some dedicated personal development with a throwing coach outside of practice. That said, all of Josh’s QB’s have shown improved DM about where and when to throw the ball. That said, I think both QB’s have good mechanics, and the won with the best DM skills will play the most.

I like how slippery Mac is but the turnover point made is concerning.

I agree. To be fair though, and Brooks mentions this, Gmac played on a terrible team that Junior year. He had 1 good WR and a crappy Oline and they lost a lot of games and were often playing from behind. So he was running for his life and "pushing" trying to make comebacks frequently. FB on the other hand played on a great team that he elevated with his amazing play, won 2 state Titles in 3years playing in NCs highest classification and only lost a couple games in HS period. They had a good Oline, D1 talent RB, etc. Gmac had to make do with much less talent around him and carry his team as much as he could. There is a big difference however in the level of competition between who Gmac played against vs who FB played against.

Not to take anything away from Faizon. I live in NC, and his Geeensboro HS which is a storied program anyway, beat very talented teams from Charlotte and Raleigh that also had a handful of D1 players on their teams. They were the "underdogs" from a smaller school in a much smaller city. Yet they came close to a 3peat and only lost a couple games in 3years. FB is an amazing QB and as close to a "sure thing" NFL player as you can get coming out of HS. Bama in particular threw everything they had at him trying to flip him from UT, including allegedly stupid sums of $$$. He is as good as it gets and CJH deserves all the credit in the world for spotting him as a 9th grader as our future and landing him.

Hasn’t cross town rival Dudley put more guys in the NFL than Grimsley?

Both Hendo and Mosely came out of Dudley.

If you watched the video, one thing he mentioned is HS competition. Brandon played against the highest classification in North Carolina, while Mac played against private schools vs a different level of athletes.

Competition was virtually the same.

Faison however won 2 State Championships as the starter with Grimsley.
George did not.

I don't think the Mannings played at a high level, high enrollment HS in Louisiana but they managed to be ready for decent college careers.

If you can play, you can play. Would the Mannings have been even better if they'd gone to a bigger school that played higher level competition?

That's fair.
George, however, came from a family of coaches.
Brandon did not.

... Which is why one would think that George would have a superior football i.q. and ability to execute; but that's not what The Film Guy is describing.
He seems to opine that the differences are negligible and it's a rather close race until either of them seperate themselves. That's kind of a knock on George and his development.
However, it also could mean we possibly have an embarrassment of riches at the position, in the same breath. Those kind are the best kinda probs to have

The Tennessee top private school class would dominate Nc public schools. I remember a few years ago going to a BA game with a Bama fan friend of mine. The opponent was a 4 time state champion from Ala with 4 Bama commits on it. He expected to see them roll BA. Well he saw a complete ass-kickin alright but it wasn’t the Alabama team that was kicking.

Lipscomb played toe to toe vs Ryan Williams team from Alabama who’d won like 5 straight State championships. Any league with Baylor, McCallie, BA, Ensworth, MBA, Memphis Christian Bros etc is very competitive. The Film Guy still has a boner over losing Curtis to Vandy. BA doesnt play in the same class as Nashville Christian.

It varies. I watched BA and GM for 4 years, including barely beating my sons Brentwood team 16-13 his senior year. Brentwood had zero D1 players and 150 lb linebackers.
