[@ayechillout4050]

Nah that ain’t it. He just doesn’t understand his assignment. It seems like he was allowed to do whatever he wanted in high school and never taught how to play the position and stick to his job. Which is why he needs to move to DE and just contain one side of the field, as opposed to ILB.

[@Money_era]

@@ayechillout4050 yea that’s what I noticed. His top plays consisted of him over powering his opponent, or being way quicker. But that’s not what being a linebacker is about. Its more so about reading your keys and reacting. But with the right coaching he still has a chance to be great

[@BrunoJaws]

​@@ayechillout4050 yeah i observed the same thing. If i was coaching i would use him at OLB as a speed rusher but also use him in a 4'3"as a middle linebacker and teach him to attack the line of scrimmage. Sometimes coaches use kids wrong and not to there strenghts.

[@jkrek]

Big fan of Flowe. The games he was put on the field he did pretty well.

[@SBoss281]

That is not true. He was a liability. If you actually watched him on the field, he was almost always out of place, took bad angles, missed tackles, and played with no control.

[@ninefingerjack]

Way too over eager to try to make a play. No positional discipline. A great edge. Just not an lb

[@chosenone9727]

[@AverageLifter31]

If they move him to outside at Arizona and let him come off the edge he’ll be real solid. He’s like Taylor Mays. Too big to be loose enough to play a coverage role

[@bee_lew]

He’s gonna ball out this year for Arizona. 🐻⬇️

[@SBoss281]

You can tell Fisher doesn't actually watch tape of the players because he didn't address any of the reasons (other than injuries) Flowe stopped playing. Go watch him play against Arizona last season. The few times he was on the field is when Arizona busted out huge runs. Watch his positioning. Watch his lack of discipline. He was a massive liability.

[@BrunoJaws]

They said the same thing about Terrel Davis Hall of fame running back who was 7th on the depth chart at UGA. He gets drafted in the 7th round by default and meets Mike Shannahan zone blocking scheme the rest is history. Some of these college coaches get jobs because of who they know instead of being qualified. He is playing the wrong system and not being coached right. Even Sewell looks out of position because they are asking him to play coverage first instead of letting him use his instincts. It happens all the time. Its why so many late round draft picks find success in the NFL. Real coaches dont have systems they play to there personel. If Demeco Ryans was coaching Flowe i guarantee you barring injuries he would look elite. He turned Fred Warner a 3 star DB from BYU in to the best LB in football in 3 years.

[@webbmd4342]

@@BrunoJaws you know ball brother, god bless

[@CinqueMalcolm]

@@BrunoJaws Your whole comment is nonsense on several levels and you have no idea what you're talking about. Terrell Davis ran for over 800 yards his junior year. His senior year he led the team in rushing and the guy who had the 2nd most was Hines Ward, who was just named a semi-finalist for the HOF in December. Fred Warner played LB in HS and college. I know this because I went to USC and he was recruited by us. He was a third round pick as a LB out of BYU, not a DB.. That was all before he ever met Ryans. Quit making up shit and feeding people misinformation. You're a complete clown. And what the fck does drafted in the 7th round by default mean? Get some help kid.

[@DuckRon626]

Flowe was consistently caught out of position. He bit on the run and was very often caught off guard on a wheel route. He had 1 really great game against Fresno State a couple of years ago. Injuries really hindered his development. In 2022 he played in the most games of his career at Oregon. For the kid’s sake, I hope his transfer to Arizona works out for him. He might test the “once a Duck, always a Duck” adage.

[@ARIZJOE]

Justin has shown the same ability at Arizona. However, he's also committed several killer penalties, including personal fouls, and has been lost in pass coverage. Justin is a terrific player who does not play always play smart. Interesting video featuring Justin's strenght and rushing ability. Jedd should try him at fullback, blocking in goal line.

Haven't watched any of him at all so this is just a shot in the dark, but took notice once he committed to Arizona. I think he rose to prominence throughout the high school ranks because of his aggressiveness and highlight worthy plays. But hope he doesn't stick to that formula needlessly, not every play has to be a highlight, but you can play with the aggressiveness but not at the expense of the team.

[@Iggy1977]

Not sure he can be labeled a "bust" quite yet because he does have three years of eligibility left, but to date he hasn't been an impact player in college. To be fair he got a season ending injury in game 1 of his freshman year & then the bad luck continued when he got another season ending injury in game 1 of his second year. Bad lock, or imo, Cristobal & Coach Feld(Cristobal's S&C coach) put too much mass on him & too quickly. The kid went from 215-200ish to 245ish in just a few months. He was ripped, but I don't think his frame should have been carrying that kind of mass. They should have gotten him up to around 230ish. I also think the extra mass made him a little more stiff & less fluid. I think having that much weight made him more susceptible to injury. The new staff had him shed weight, but at that point the damage was done. He lost a step to the two season ending injuries(one to knee, one to ankle) & he wasted those two years of development & pratices. But I think his biggest issue is between the ears. Apparently work ethic was not an issue & was a grinder, but you can tell he had no clue what he was doing on the field in an actual defensive scheme. He was no longer bigger, stronger & more athletic than everyone so he couldn't just fly around & make plays on instinct like he did in HS. He was a huge liability in coverage. If you watch film from this past season you will see opposing offenses specifically went after him in the passing game & he was almost always exploited. He would botch his assignments often. Whether it was in coverage, or playing the wrong gap, or when he was supposed to stay in zone he'd take it upon himself to try & make the big play & rush the QB leaving a ton of open space, etc, etc... Like I said, it looked like he had no clue what he was doing. I think he can still be a solid player if he can stay in the same defense for the rest of his collegiate career & he actually learns the playbook. But it's questionable if he can do so. I could see him just playing his backyard/high school style ball & never quite get it. He has a ways to go, but I'd maybe wait to label him a "bust" until after his collegiate career.

[@DavidTangman]

What? A child prodigy doesn't mean he won't be a top-10 NFL draft pick? The crap we put our children through to gratify our own egos...

[@oregonxyz]

I am an Oregon fan. I think what went wrong in 2022 was that he just wasn't moving that well. Then they stopped playing him. Flowe needs some time to get his running ability back, if he can. I hope he does well with Arizona. Sorry it didn't work out, but that is how it goes sometimes.

The recruiting ranking systems are so subjective. It depends when and where guys develop. The earlier they do the higher they are rated but only if the come from certain regions of the country. The recruiting agencies often neglect certain regions because their recruiting "geniuses" are always in the South and that's why they favor those kids. 3 Star kids from other parts of the country can turn into All Americans and 1st round picks with the right coaching and development.

[@marinz4life]

The only issue with Justin Flowe at Oregon was injuries. In the brief time he was able to be on the field he was dominant.

Everyone knew he was on steroids in high school. His body just couldn’t hold the weight. He is a good athlete naturally but only about 6.2 205. There is a reason he was squatting 600 lbs at 17 year olds at 6.2 height. When he got to Oregon he was 233 lbs and last year he was around 215 from him getting off the juice due to injuries. The other huge issue is Oregon only plays 2 lbs in their system. So he and Sewell were asked to cover the whole field instead of quarters or 1/3 the field.

Highschool coaches make the mistake all the time of letting freshman play varsity especially linebackers and running backs. They take too much punishment early on which leads to injuries in college.

OCs know what they're doing and sometimes scheme an LB out of whatever one thing you want him to focus on.
