00:00Jeff, help us out here, because you're the deep state commander man.
00:03Like, commanders, one thing that has happened across football
00:08in the era of Madden and screen grabs
00:12is that people think they know kind of everything,
00:18and there is a nine-second video that the commanders posted
00:23of Jaden dropping back, looking around the field,
00:26and then firing over the middle, over the linebacker,
00:29under the safeties, I would argue that's a good call.
00:32He threw it to the spot, not where the player was,
00:35to Ben Sennett, the tight end, and Sennett kind of ran like a,
00:42it was a bit, like, it was a double-move route,
00:46and you can't see enough to know exactly what the route was,
00:49but he started off and broke like it was a corner route
00:52and then broke back inside like it was a post, right?
00:57And folks online are perhaps saying they're concerned
01:03about Jaden going through the progressions,
01:06and this seemed to bug you, B.
01:08It bugs the hell out of me because you get people
01:12who work with other quarterbacks who decide to put this stuff out there
01:16and want to talk about what they know based off of something they may know,
01:20but if you don't know this offense,
01:22you don't know a damn thing about what you're talking about.
01:25When I looked, when I saw the play,
01:27and I'm going to tell you, I've always looked at Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
01:30Those two guys look around the field before the ball is snapped.
01:33When the ball is snapped, they will look left or right,
01:37however they feel like doing it,
01:39and most times they will look opposite of where they were actually going to be reading
01:43because what do the defenders do when you look somewhere?
01:46They move that way.
01:47What I saw in that play, Jaden got the ball.
01:51He looked right, which moves the safety and that outside linebacker over.
01:57And then he came back left, and by me looking at him,
02:00it looked like he looked at Sennett and he looked above Sennett, okay?
02:04Sennett did what you said.
02:06He ran a double move.
02:07He came back, and he threw the ball exactly where that original linebacker was sitting at.
02:12There was a space there that was open up.
02:15Now, just because he looked right at first don't mean he was reading at first.
02:19The play was designed to come back to Sennett, which might have been a one-player,
02:24a one-receiver route, maybe two receivers.
02:27But when he came back, he looked at Sennett to be able to know.
02:30He knew that space was there.
02:31He led him into the space, wide-ass open.
02:35Who looks at that and say, oh, man, he's going by the progression wrong?
02:39Now, if you look at most quarterbacks, you don't know what the hell the progression is
02:44because they're looking at the whole damn football field.
02:47But what I say is, and this is not to knock coaches, but coaches are great.
02:55They can tell you what to do on a regular basis and how to get to a point,
02:59but you know what they can't do?
03:01Most of them can't do what the hell they're telling you to do.
03:05Butch Harmon couldn't beat Tiger Woods.
03:08Joe Gibbs couldn't have beat me and nothing on the football field.
03:12Okay?
03:13Andy Reid's great.
03:14He's not better than Pat Mahomes, but he can tell him how to get something done.
03:18This dude who supposedly is a quarterback coach for some players,
03:21he cannot do what these quarterbacks do.
03:23He cannot touch Jaden Daniels.
03:26And all these fools that follow people that just want to run with it,
03:32know what the hell is being said and know if the person is right before you say something.
03:37I played quarterback, and I know damn well I didn't just drop back
03:42and look at the one, two, three receivers I was supposed to look at.
03:46I moved the defensive players first.
03:48Then I came back to make it a lot easier.
03:51That's what I was taught by a quarterback coach who wasn't better than me.
03:55But coaches are there to help you.
03:58They can't do what the hell you do because the best of the best never coach.
04:03They're playing.
04:05The ones that normally are not as good as players become great coaches.
04:09Let's know that.
04:11So Quincy Avery is the coach that commented on the commander's video.
04:17He said, I don't know.
04:18When I see this, I probably see something different than everyone else,
04:21and what I'm seeing right here would be a bit concerning.
04:24And he responded to this dude, Smitty, who Jeff may or may not know,
04:28says the progressions are crazy.
04:30There's either a major issue with the play design not being linear,
04:33or J5 isn't sure where his progressions start.
04:36Probably not a huge deal this early with a new OC,
04:39but they better fix whatever it is immediately.
04:45And listen, we're not getting into a contest.
04:47I'm not entering into a who knows more ball contest because that is one of the
04:52internet's great desires is to determine who knows ball and who doesn't, right?
04:56All I'm going to suggest is this is a vertical video basically showing the
05:01quarterback's eyes and then a throw to a tight end.
05:05Was the tight end open?
05:06In seven on seven.
05:08This looks like seven on seven.
05:09Was the tight end open?
05:10Yes.
05:11Oh, wow.
05:12He threw it to an open receiver.
05:14And I do think the way the route progressed,
05:17Senate broke to the left, Jaden looked to the left,
05:20and then he's looking to his right, looks to his left as that route is progressing,
05:24and then throws it to the middle of the field where Senate eventually ends up.
05:29My greater takeaway on all of this,
05:33let's not draw too many conclusions off a nine-second vertical clip in June.
05:39Like, that's where eyes land.
05:41But, Jay, it's a simple.
05:42Like, if we were seeing the All-22 or something.
05:44All right, I'm going to point to you.
05:46I'm going to let you watch this thing.
05:47Looking right, looking right.
05:48Comes back, immediately finds him, throws it to an open spot.
05:51That play was designed for Senate the whole time.
05:55But you don't just drop back and look that way.
05:57You have to move people into spots.
06:00So he looks away from it, then he comes back,
06:03immediately finds him, and then throw the ball into an open spot.
06:06How can you say something is wrong with this?
06:09I don't, listen, man.
06:10I know coaches try to make themselves better than what they are
06:14and more apt to know more than they know.
06:19I can't find nothing wrong in that.
06:21He looked, came back, found, delivered to an open spot.
06:26What's negative?
06:29You know, and like, I understand.
06:31Look, people have their jobs.
06:33But one thing I know, just because you own a job in a certain position
06:37don't mean you're 100% right all the time.
06:39And sometimes they need to be checked and called on it.
06:42Avery don't know what the hell he's talking about right here.
06:45Point blank.
06:46Because what I'm looking at is a play I ran in college.
06:50Same damn type of scheme.
06:53So if he, if his guys never, first of all, he coaches quarterbacks.
06:58He's a quarterback coach that teaches a lot of different quarterbacks.
07:02A real accomplishment, too.
07:03Okay, but he teaches quarterbacks.
07:05Is he calling plays?
07:07Is he calling the offense for a college or a pro team?
07:10Hell no.
07:12So therefore, I don't want to hear about the guy.
07:14Just like remember when RG3's coach was talking about this, that, and the other.
07:18Did he know this offense?
07:20Hell no.
07:22So Robert was not reading the defense and stuff right.
07:25But he say, well, everything I teach him, he does right.
07:28Because you wouldn't teach them how to read the damn defense.
07:30You would teach them how to get into certain positions as a quarterback.
07:34You're teaching two different things here.
07:36So when Avery starts running the offense in the league,
07:39I might listen to him more about this.
07:41But as long as he's just getting people right, that's cool.
07:44Stick to that, bro.
07:46Don't start trying to knock somebody just because.
07:49And I think there is some real discrepancy sometimes
07:54between the personal quarterback coaches and then the team quarterback coaches
07:58and the team offensive coordinators
07:59and the team passing game coordinators.
08:01Like, that happens at times.
08:04Now, most elite quarterbacks have their own quarterbacks coach.
08:07Guys, like 14-year-olds are working with quarterback coaches.
08:11You know what I mean?
08:12And a lot of it is to get to the next level, to get to the elite 11.
08:16But it's to teach you the proper techniques.
08:20Dude, I started playing quarterback in the 8th grade.
08:24And my dad would always teach me little stuff to help me out.
08:28But you know what he always said?
08:30When you get to practice, do what the damn coach says.
08:34So all the stuff he helped me to do taught me techniques,
08:37got me into a certain mindset.
08:40But I couldn't go there and say, well, my dad said this.
08:44I had to look at it as the coach would say it and go from that.
08:48And I think that's the whole thing about it.
08:50But if David Blau is happy, who gives a damn
08:54what any other personal quarterback coach has to say?
