Everyone get in here! New JT QB school dropped.
Okay, so a couple things:
- At this point it is pretty clear Purdy is JT’s favorite guy to study. He just piles compliments on him every chance he can.
- He’s actually pretty complimentary of Shanahan in this video. He seems to be coming around to more of what Shanny does now, except the RB short motions Kyle loves to run. JT sees no point in that motion 5 yards behind the LOS because it just takes longer for the play to develop. Yes, he acknowledged it got us a TD last week.
- One thing I wish I could tell JT: He criticizes Deebo’s effort a lot. Says if Deebo isn’t getting the ball he isn’t going hard. I have seen it in several videos now. However:
Watching Deebo since he came out, this is how Deebo runs routes even when he thinks he’s getting the ball. I don’t think it’s necessarily lazy route running, like JT suggests. It’s moreso that Deebo has such great short area quickness that he likes to lull defenders to sleep then accelerate out of a break to get separation. He does this CONSTANTLY. And it cooks defenders regularly. It’s also effective against zone coverage because Deebo is top tier at settling into vacated zones. That route running style just allows for him to sit down in empty spaces easily.
Your assessment of Debo is spot on. Can tell you watch the games. Unless it’s man coverage Debo kinda settles down in the vacant spots and then explodes as well as anything.
Nice evaluation
