CJ truly is the definition of a franchise QB. Kid has a good heart and loves the sport, I think he's going to age like fine wine in Houston. His play style is so unique that the office can finally start making good drafts and trades to build around him. Houston is finally a team to be watching closely, looking forward to how they perform in the coming years!

His combination of elite anticipation and ball placement is instinctual. Cannot be taught.

But Justin fields just needs more time …… You either got it or you don’t.

I'm a proud Wolverine alum, but I also teach secondary students in LA. There's nothing I've loved more than our Wolverines putting it on ohio the last (now 3) years. Yet when I heard CJ Stroud being interviewed after the draft, the passion, energy and gratitude he showed reminded me of so many young men I've taught. Right then, in spite of my Maize & Blue blood, I became a CJ Stroud fan.

@@okokokokokokokokkook I'm only partial way through his tape but i gotta say - i'm very worried about him translating. He's basically the best BS artist i've ever seen, and his arm is crazy - but he doesnt go through progressions, he doesn't anticipate, and he misses reads even when he's staring at them - those are the things you need to play in the NFL. Overall i'm very skeptical, but only about 1/3rd of the way through the tape, so my opinion might change

"He's capable of doing Mahomes like bullshit" LOL 😂

Yeah he's playing out of his mind right now and im glad that the Texans finally found their guy.

I used to pray for times like this

Brett Kollmann punching the air rn.

I honestly didn’t expect him to go to the easier stuff and the checkdowns with nfl level of pressure in his face since we couldn’t see it much in college

So glad to see the CJ video drop. Keep up the great content guys!

CJ has been fun to watch, and he already seems like he's more advanced than a rookie QB...

Can i just point out that you have the most beautiful route illustrations instead of just sayin what these routes are you draw them as they are ran.

I cannot wait to hear who you guys like in this years draft. This channel is the nfl draft goat channel!!

Damn his pocket always clean. Credit the Oline. No wonder hes confident back there. I didnt see any pressure this whole vid

@t4d0W

6 ай бұрын

And even in reps where he does get it, he's super confident stepping up and letting it rip. Which is a good sign to see from young pocket passers who won't shy away from making the major league throws in those situations.

Thanks for the in depth analysis. Really eye opening

"Before strolling his happy ass into the endzone" got me dying😂😂😂😂

Drew Brees was the reason I even got into NFL football. This guy reminds me of watching a younger Brees, think I'm becoming a Texan fan😂

I think most rational Texans fans were fine picking either Young or Stroud with most of us wanting Stroud-The excitement of a new era of Houston football was the main factor to the anticipation.

Good stuff man! Hey would it be possible to highlight the ball on passes? I think that would add a lot to your vids. Keep it up!

"...before casually strolling his happy ass into the endzone for the easy score" Love your material and your phrasing is almost poetic at times lol

I said it in his draft videos before he was taken, this dude was the real deal. His footwork is superb.. He literally looks like Joe Montana out there from the waist down.. but with a cannon on his shoulder. His coaching from a very early age is ingrained and it's so natural for him. He's a definite blue chip superstar. I was saying it before the draft, I don't know how anyone in their right mind could have taken Young over this dude, just based off their college film.

whats crazy is the weakness of the team (oline) are getting fixed with guys coming back from injury, and the issues you mentioned about stroud and many of the examples you have are from the first quarter of the season, and hes already taking a lot of those mistakes out. hes throwing the ball away instead of taking sack

H-Tiiineee😤🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

The man can play the way he reads defense .. one of a kind

Can we get a Geno Smith video? He's starting to not feel like the guy at QB and I'm curious what your take is.

Let's be happy to be at 6-5

Strengths: Efficiency: The quarterback has a respectable completion percentage (63.7%) and an above-average passer rating (100.8). This indicates a level of consistency and effectiveness in their passing game. Big Plays: The quarterback has the ability to make big plays, as evidenced by a high yards per attempt (8.4) and a game with 5 touchdown passes against Tampa Bay. Low Interception Rate: Despite throwing 5 interceptions during the season, the interception rate is relatively low, indicating good decision-making in most games. Weaknesses: Pressure and Sacks: The quarterback has been sacked 26 times, suggesting vulnerability under pressure. Developing a strong pass rush is crucial. Interceptions: While the interception rate is low, there have been games with multiple interceptions, such as the game against Arizona (3 interceptions) and New Orleans (1 interception). Exploiting this vulnerability can be key. Varying Performance: The quarterback's performance has varied from game to game, with some games featuring lower completion percentages and passer ratings. Inconsistent performances can be capitalized upon. Defensive Strategies: Create Pressure: Your defense should focus on generating a consistent pass rush. Employ blitz packages and stunts to disrupt the quarterback's timing. Sacking the quarterback and creating hurried throws can lead to turnovers. Disguised Coverages: Use pre-snap disguises and post-snap rotations to confuse the quarterback. Force him to make decisions under uncertainty, increasing the chances of interceptions. Zone Coverage: Implement effective zone coverages, particularly in games where the quarterback struggled with lower completion percentages. Zone defenses can bait the quarterback into making throws into tight windows. Man-to-Man on Key Targets: Identify the quarterback's favorite targets and use man-to-man coverage with your best defensive backs to take those options away. This can disrupt his rhythm and force him to look for secondary options. Third-Down Defense: Focus on creating third-and-long situations through strong early-down defense. Apply pressure and disguise coverages on third downs to force incompletions or mistakes. Red Zone Defense: Tighten up red zone defense to limit touchdowns. Force field goals in scoring situations, which can make a significant difference in the outcome. Film Study: Invest time in studying game tape to understand the quarterback's tendencies and game situations where he might be vulnerable. Mental Pressure: Apply mental pressure through trash talk and a strong defensive presence. The quarterback's performance can vary under different stress levels. Adaptability: Be prepared to adjust your defensive strategy during the game based on how the quarterback is performing. If he starts making mistakes, capitalize on them. Turnover Focus: Train your defense to focus on creating turnovers, especially interceptions. Ball-hawking skills can be a game-changer. Remember that effective game planning and execution, as well as adapting to in-game situations, are crucial to beating any quarterback. Tailor your defensive strategy to your team's strengths and the specific tendencies of the quarterback you're facing.

just beat the Broncos 22-17. Beautiful int. by Ward

What killed me was that Ohio state qb bias lies. Haskin,Field and stroud was the only ones that went 1st Round. Everyone else was late rd picks and only Terrell Proy and and Troy Smith was the only other 2 qbs to sniff a start in the league. They only got half a season to start 😂😂😂 the rope was extremely short on blk qb back then.

Lets slow the roll down a bit with the elite talk

am i tripping or is 4:18 cov 9 not cov 6 4:18

They're a star Wr and a solid running back away from being one of the best offenses in the league

I hope so. But not calling him elite in year one. Nah

Exactly same as Brady just a system guy that's why New England have had continued success since Brady left .. and why Brady struggled so much when he left.. and also why McDaniels was so successful when he left NE because he took that system to LV with an ex New England QB .. LV will definitely match up with NE in the AFC title game this season
