Anatomy Of A Play, Throwing “Hot” even when it looks covered

Posted on by QB Film Room

We take a look at a play from the Titans game where Gabbert pulls back on his “Hot” read due to not trusting his ability to throw with touch. For all that Gabbert is and is not, throwing with touch is not a refined aspect to his game. We all know about Gabbert’s inherent athleticism, quick release and even sheer arm strength. However, he is not a quarterback who seems to have the innate ability to process intuitively and trust his ability to throw with touch.

Arizona comes out in essentially 12 personnel with Larry Fitzgerald acting as a hybrid WR/Wing. The Titans show a stunt look pre snap but the left side of their Offensive Line should be able to slide left and keep Gabbert clean. Fitzgerald instantly becomes the “Hot” receiver versus pressure due to Man coverage on the (X) WR.

All-22 Snapshot, Sean McVay & Jared Goff

Posted on by QB Film Room

The Rams have always had a great defense but with the addition of Sean McVay as a HC their offense has gone from worst to best in the league. McVay is an excellent play designer and has a knack for timing with his play calling. We take a look at a play from the Texans game where the Rams were inside their own five yard line and McVay took the opportunity to pull the trigger on a beautifully crafted shot play versus quarters coverage out of 20 personel

Note – Notice how (X) WR Sammy Watkins tight split and lazy route impact the Quarters FS as Watkins Lulls the defenders to him while Cooper Kupp & Robert Woods are in the process of executing a quarters beater on the other side of field.

The Dolphins were sparked by Matt Moore’s entrance into the game sunday against Tampa as he threw for 282 yards and posted a 102 rating. We Isolate the touchdown pass to Kenny Stills.

As the Bucs elect to play quarters coverage, Matt Moore sets up against a four man rush. He places his eyes down the MOF to give the illusion that he may be looking that way. Simultaneously, Kenny Stills is using deception to turn the SS Hips

Screen Shot 2017-11-19 at 11.46.00 PM

As the play develops, we see Stills who now is running a corner route while the two outside receivers are occupied by their respective defenders as they run underneath routes against man coverage leaving a huge void to the deep outside. Moore displays anticipation and trust as he is already releasing the football

#5 Drew Stanton 6’2” 242 10th Year, Michigan State

Drew Stanton is capable, gun-slinging minded backup quarterback who has developed a close relationship with Cardinal coach Bruce Arians as he and Arians came to Arizona together from Indianapolis in 2013. Stanton is a guy who possesses certain intangibles required for the position such as grit, willingness to take chances with ball and high level leadership traits. He is a respected veteran member of the Arizona locker room because of this. When Stanton has played he has performed well at times much of which can be attributed to the intangible traits___ To read the entire Stanton Report as well as Reports on every other league QB purchase a copy of our 2017 Pro QB Almanac

Bryan Trulen of QB Film Room takes a look at a handful of Colin Kaepernick throws that speak to the type of player he is inside the Pocket. Outside of the pocket he remains an electric talent and at times looks the part of a solid pocket player. He will be seeking consistency when he returns to the league.

Miami Dolphins QB David Fales Scouting Report

Posted on by QB Film Room

Author – Bryan Trulen

NFL: Miami Dolphins at Minnesota Vikings

 

#9​ ​David​ ​Fales​​ ​6’1​ ​1⁄2​ ​215​ ​4th​ ​Year,​ ​San​ ​Jose​ ​State Overview

David​ ​Fales​ ​was​ ​signed​ ​by​ ​the​ ​team​ ​in​ ​April​ ​of​ ​2017.​ ​A​ ​bit​ ​of​ ​a​ ​backdrop​ ​on​ ​Mr.​ ​Fales​ ​-​ ​He​ ​was a​ ​sixth​ ​round​ ​pick​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Chicago​ ​Bears​ ​in​ ​2014​ ​who​ ​was​ ​handpicked​ ​by​ ​then​ ​Bears​ ​coach​ ​Marc Trestman​ ​to​ ​be​ ​the​ ​team’s​ ​developmental​ ​quarterback.​ ​Trestman​ ​was​ ​then​ ​fired​ ​after​ ​Fales’ rookie​ ​year​ ​and​ ​Adam​ ​Gase​ ​was​ ​then​ ​brought​ ​in​ ​by​ ​the​ ​new​ ​staff​ ​to​ ​be​ ​the​ ​offensive​ ​coordinator in​ ​2015.​ ​Fales​ ​has​ ​almost​ ​zero​ ​regular​ ​season​ ​game​ ​experience​ ​on​ ​his​ ​resume​ ​but​ ​it​ ​seems​ ​he was​ ​brought​ ​to​ ​Miami​ ​for​ ​a​ ​reason​ ​as​ ​he​ ​did​ ​spend​ ​2015​ ​with​ ​Gase​ ​in​ ​Chicago.​ ​Out​ ​of​ ​high school,​ ​Fales​ ​originally​ ​signed​ ​with​ ​Nevada,​ ​transferred​ ​to​ ​a​ ​Junior​ ​College​ ​for​ ​a​ ​year​ ​because Colin​ ​Kaepernick​ ​was​ ​the​ ​starter​ ​and​ ​ultimately​ ​found​ ​his​ ​way​ ​to​ ​San​ ​Jose​ ​State​ ​where​ ​he started​ ​for​ ​two​ ​years​ ​and​ ​was​ ​considered​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​best​ ​quarterbacks​ ​in​ ​all​ ​of​ ​college​ ​football.

Analysis

Rhythm,​ ​touch​ ​and​ ​eye​ ​manipulation​ ​are​ ​staples​ ​of​ ​Fales​ ​game​ ​as​ ​a​ ​thrower.​ ​From​ ​a​ ​pure physical​ ​perspective​ ​he​ ​is​ ​just​ ​average.​ ​Average​ ​arm,​ ​average​ ​mobility,​ ​average​ ​size​ ​etc.​ ​Fales does​ ​seem​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​way​ ​with​ ​the​ ​football​ ​and​ ​throws​ ​a​ ​very​ ​good​ ​deep​ ​ball.​ ​He​ ​invariably throws​ ​a​ ​catchable​ ​football​ ​away​ ​from​ ​defenders​ ​and​ ​keeps​ ​his​ ​targets​ ​safe​ ​when​ ​he​ ​throws into​ ​tight​ ​windows.​ ​During​ ​extended​ ​Pre-Season​ ​action​ ​in​ ​2014​ ​Fales​ ​made​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​big​ ​time on​ ​the​ ​move​ ​throws​ ​where​ ​he​ ​effortlessly​ ​connected​ ​with​ ​precision​ ​to​ ​his​ ​targets​ ​with​ ​defenders

breathing​ ​down​ ​his​ ​neck.​ ​​ ​He​ ​for​ ​the​ ​most​ ​part​ ​is​ ​mechanically​ ​sound​ ​as​ ​a​ ​passer​ ​and​ ​could​ ​be classified​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​thrower.
As​ ​a​ ​processor​ ​of​ ​information​ ​he​ ​lags​ ​behind​ ​a​ ​bit.​ ​Fales​ ​at​ ​times​ ​has​ ​frozen​ ​up​ ​when​ ​forced​ ​to move​ ​to​ ​secondary​ ​options​ ​post​ ​snap​ ​and​ ​due​ ​to​ ​his​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​ideal​ ​size​ ​has​ ​trouble​ ​manipulating the​ ​pocket​ ​with​ ​regularity.

2017​ ​Projection

Fales​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​have​ ​to​ ​perform​ ​well​ ​this​ ​August​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​beat​ ​out​ ​Brandon​ ​Doughty​ ​for​ ​a spot​ ​on​ ​the​ ​53​ ​man​ ​roster.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​battle​ ​to​ ​watch​ ​as​ ​Doughty​ ​was​ ​also​ ​hand picked​ ​by​ ​the​ ​organization​ ​as​ ​a​ ​late​ ​round​ ​pick​ ​from​ ​a​ ​year​ ​ago.​ ​Fales​ ​has​ ​one​ ​year​ ​of​ ​practice squad​ ​eligibility​ ​left​ ​but​ ​at​ ​this​ ​point​ ​it​ ​should​ ​be​ ​considered​ ​a​ ​toss​ ​up​ ​on​ ​which​ ​one​ ​of​ ​these quarterbacks​ ​the​ ​Dolphins​ ​carry​ ​this​ ​year.
