Watching Oregons Thomas Graham Jr.

Wanted to point this out. Saw something similar with Jeff Gladney. There is a such thing as motoring out too much. It puts him in that gray area. In the gray area the receiver gets on you too quickly and your time clock is sped up. (cont)
Once your clock gets sped up your technique goes out the window. So instead of comfortably reading down the receiver, you end up going for anything he gives you. You can see the result of what happens. Try not to create the space for the receiver.
Here's another example. Now this isnt BAD. Just not ideal. Don't just let the receiver work vertically. We want to make him work as lateral as possible at the LOS. Even if we cant get hands on. Receiver does what he wants and never gets touched. Make him work laterally.
When evaluating ill note this but its very very coachable. So I wont knock him really for this. Just using it as teach tape

I’ve been up since 3:30am. Couldn’t sleep so of course my mind starts going crazy. Obviously about football because I’m obsessed. Specifically about QB’s and the draft since it’s a hot topic with my 49ers. So here we go.. thread time

#CrockTalk lol
So first I started thinking about just how impressed I’ve been with Zach Wilson. Saw Daniel Jeremiah say he has some Aaron Rodgers to him.. I was like ok I can see that. Then was like damn.. how high will he go? 2? 3? Top 8? Do you trade up for a guy? It’s a solid class..
And then I started thinking about teams in recent years that have traded up for QBs..

Rams moved up from 15 to 1 for Goff
Eagles from 12 to 8 to 2 for Wentz
Chiefs from 27 to 10 for Mahomes
Texans from 25 to 12 for Watson

(Clearly no QB is EVER out of reach if you want him)

Just my opinion/thoughts on Henry Ruggs coming out:

Ruggs is a SPEED GUY. Not just speed but he was taken at 12 before any other receiver b/c of his ELITE speed. Now.. I had him at WR6 and people thought I was crazy. But let me explain

#Thread
Ruggs has 2 bug time traits

1. Speed
2. Toughness. He’s tough af

When you are that speed guy and that’s your BEST trait..you have to learn how to use that as a threat on a down to down basis. So even if he’s running a slant or stop route give the elision of a vertical threat
Ruggs did not do that. When he played against GOOD corners in the SEC.. when you watch the film.. he was not using the threat of his speed consistently. From press corners in the SEC were way too comfortable. No way that should be playing dick to hip on 4.2 speed.

Ok. Jason Verrett thread starts now.

Side note: He had some heat on his feet. Lol Image
Also, wanted to briefly go over why I do threads and what I was looking for. My threads are typically longer because I post anything notable. Also, I do not know coverages.. I’m not in meetings.. so I’ll tell you what I think but can’t say for certain.
Alright.. 1st play. Receiver motioned down so it forced him to play off. Did a good job settling his feet and "taking the charge" as I like to call it. Now just keep the receiver in tight a little. Be a little stronger at the top. Not a bad rep. Not worried about getting ran by.

Carlton Davis work vs Michael Thomas

Thread starts now. Image
Davis vs Thomas press work

shadowing Thomas most of this game. From the 1st play in press. I'm big on challenging not only the receiver but yourself. Davis did a really good job all game with that. I think that last clip is the only catch Davis gave up in press vs Thomas
Off coverage work. I thought this was beautiful here. Utilizing the leverage step. Leverage step allows you to stay square while keeping your initial inside leverage with the receiver so the receiver cant cross face allowing the DB to break evenly in any direction or turn and run

Ok. Last but not least, my outlook on the San Francisco #49ers

A thread: Sponsored by CrockTime University
So I got this tweet from @fablee4 and i started thinking to myself “Self, what do the Packers have to do to beat the 49ers this season? 🤔” and then i expanded on that question to “Who will the 49ers be come playoff time? 🤔” Image
So i started off by looking at the 49ers as whole. Ok..let’s start with the defense... one that was ranked 1st or 2nd in defense last season.

Returning 10 out of 11 starters. Buckner being the key loss. Inserting a developing Kinlaw who maybe only be a 2 down guy right now
