Army All American Game Notes

[OldhamA]

Why does it seem like the defense wins 95% of the time in these one on ones? In a regular game there wouldn't be a pocket once in those clips. In the reps where the defender doesn't blow past them they're driven back 10 yards

Because the drill puts the Olineman at a disadvantage. Oline is so much about teamwork - combo blocks, chips etc and knowing where the play is going. One on one in a pure athlete situation, 9 times out of 10 the Dlineman is going to win when he's going 100mph on one play and has nothing to worry about other than getting past the Olineman - which is why when an Olineman does win he stands out as special.

It's similar to the DB / WR drills. In those the DB is at a competitive disadvantage because the WR has a) all day b) can pull out every single move / fake he has.

*obviously when they're similarly talented. These are the elite high school players in the country, I'm sure Scaife would pancake 90% of the 18 year olds trying to do this to him.

Because they usually do, just like WRs win most times. It's just how the drill is set up. In a game, the Dlineman wouldn't be able to pick and choose what he wanted to do.....he needs to maintain his gap or risk opening a huge hole. He also doesn't have to worry about run blocking in these reps, getting cut, chipped, combo blocked, finding the ball, read/reacting, etc.

Same thing at WR - the WR doesn't have to worry about maintaining proper spacing with their routes. The QB isn't rushed and has all day for the WR to clear. The CB has no inside LB help or S help over the top, so he can't push his coverage one particular way.

Nesta looked great!

 

[RVACane]

You mfs are insane, if you thought Nesta didn’t look great then what the fvck did Taron Vincent do any better than him in that clip?....some of you don’t even know what you are looking at. He did pretty good in those clips

Brock...for the love of God please STFU for a day or two. You talk like you are some kind of an elite talent evaluator because you pump up the 4 and 5 star recruits like they are diamonds in the rough. You don’t know anything that everyone else on this board doesn’t know already. We all know that Ty Campbell is a stud. We all know that PS2 is a stud. We all know that Nesta, Pope, Lingard, Blades...etc are all studs. You aren’t breaking any news here, trust me. Yet you feel the need to talk down to everyone on this board as if you are the second coming of Butch.

Go eat a d*ck you dumb idiot, anyone looking at that video in that clip saying he was overmatched needs to stop watching football period

Xavier Thomas and Nolan Smith at IMG - arguably the top DE in the '18 and '19 class.

Xavier Thomas is going to be a problem, that kid is ridiculous. Silvera looks good too

 

[jkaz1]

Much like you on this forum.

Barnes is the goods
Nesta looked like he didnt belong

Thomas IS from the state of South Carolina.

And Clemson has had solid defenses for decades - going back to the championship they won in the early 80s.

There's a lot of talent in the state relative to the population.

And like clockwork, you can count on a top 5 DE or DT coming from the state in every recruiting cycle.

With Clemson near the top of the heap, you don't have to put much effort into guessing where they'll go.

Xavier Thomas is going to be a problem, that kid is ridiculous. Silvera looks good too

Looks like Xavier Thomas will be worth every penny Clemson spent on him. The guy looks like a future star already.

Nesta looks like a bull rush machine - he will need to add in some other moves but he shows nice fight and leverage. On his first rep, he used the exaggerated high rip i saw Kool teaching in one of the videos. Wonder if he picked that up at practice.

 

[jkaz1]

Like Sapp was maxed out?

Thought nesta struggled a bit.

Thomas is a besst

Topic I think a few recognize but no one wants to discuss... Nesta's a solid prospect but far from the world beater folks here want to act like he is. He's not going to just come in and wreck ****, I don't think. I guess he's the only DT we got though, so...

He doesnt have much length or height.

His frame is pretty much maxed out.

Thanks for the updates.

****, now y'all think Nesta a JAG? And some of you alls hard on for Brock is weird to say the least. It's like the same people follow him from thread to thread. I don't get it. Especially with all of the nonsense I'm constantly seeing posted by other posters.

I think Nesta is a **** of a prospect and is ranked where he should be.

He won all 3 of those reps dip****!

This. What in theeee fvck are these guys thinking? Nesta did very well. You guys are such negative pvssies.

I don’t think he is ranked where he should be at all
He won Defensive player of the year in Florida
Silvera- 107 tackes 31 tfls 15 sacks rated 164th in the country

Where Taron Vincent stats 54 tackles 8 tfls 4 sacks and he’s rated a 5 Star
Both are the same size....

That production speaks for itself.

I disagree strongly. Nesta is elite.

These one-on-ones are deceptive for DTs. Nobody dominated these drills like Forston. They favored his skill set.

Put Nesta in 11-on-11 and he dominates. I heard from two SEC coaches (including Alabama) that Silvera was the best DT in the country and the meanest DT they ever recruited. Kool also has him #1 in the country.

Kid can really sling it though, best QB in the nation IMO

That Trevor kid is seriously skinny.

But he's got a cannon of an arm.
