"I'm Seeing Ghosts." - Sam Darnold 👻👻👻

[@MrWhiteVzla]

This is the first YT channel that actually taught me something I didn't know about football, instead of overhyping things. Thank you for using your experience to teach people how the game is played.

[@metpach]

Yeah honestly, it's because of channels like this, that I don't take anyone on ESPN or any of the big Sports Network seriously. Even the guys that played the game. They're all morons. This is real.

[@Ken_in_Wisconsin]

Same. This is good stuff and is a reminder that when you are watching a game you usually don't know what is really happening out there.

I'm glad you made this video. As a Patriots fan I think Darnold has a great career ahead of him but man that was a rough game for him..but I loved it as a fan. Hoping he uses this for a learning opportunity.

[@BrockMak]

1:11 Happens all the time when you move from a team with a bad O-line to a decent one: Yes, I see a DE blitzing, but the LT, LG or RB actually picked him up and dropped the blitzer, but I panicked, and told the QB to move across or climbed the pocket, and missed the throw, or ran into someone.

[@Drigo001]

Um, there is no such thing as a "blitzing DE" dude. And the rest of your post is just one large run-on-sentence. How you got 27 likes? It just sounded good with no misspells.

Lately I’m seeing routes and concepts unfold when live games are on, and getting better at picking defence options. Thanks for the breakdowns. It really is like school for me.

[@TheQBSchool]

Nice. Love it.

[@MonJcFarland5]

Nice to watch as a Jets fan, too easy to just watch highlights and ignore the bad stuff. This gave a lot of cool insight into why he had such rough patches this year. Was awesome to watch him finish the year so strongly after this, I think he’ll be great in the long run

[@alanf5615]

Looking at the first two plays Play one 1)Darnold organizes the protection correctly 2) makes sure the side he wants to throw to is blocked. 3) line fails darnold throws pick Play 2 1) line is prepared Protection is good but not perfect 2) darnold expects a slide right but instead the play slides left 3) darnold did not communicate with his line wich way he wanted to go with the ball. 4) darnold stares through free runner and gets hit and fumbles. The key against zero is that the line and qb shift togather The line blocks the blitzers to the same side the qb wants to throw to On these plays they are not in sync and it costs them Darnolds lack of communication on play 2 is an important part of the plays failure. Its clear he expected them to do what they were supposed to do in play 1(slide right) This leads me to believe thier is a gap between what darnold wants and what the oline coach is telling the lineman to do. Im planning on making my own channel at some point. And I definitely appreciate your work alot. Curious what you think about my addition of line slants and qb vision slants being in sync on these plays

[@mickeymcdiky]

[@TheQBSchool]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@keeganhottinger92]

This video is really informative! It does a really good job at showing how a below-average o-line and a rookie QB can get easily exploited by a much more consistent and organized team. Patriots don't have the best defense (so far, can't make any generalities until week 14 or so), but they have been able to wash these bad teams in a pretty smooth manner. Their wins against the Jets, Bills, and Giants have all been the same. Would love to see a breakdown of the 49ers vs rams breakdown.

[@raycapetillo5569]

[@OpinionatedMatt]

Can you do a video on the Patriots offensive system, like you did for the West Coast?

[@TheLocalLt]

It’s part of the Earhardt-Perkins system, which is the other major playcalling system in the nfl besides the WCO, the reason Belichick runs it because he was there when it was designed by the 80s Giants, he schemed against it every day in practice and has always admired its versatility (one-word playcalling). The offense is, like the WCO, now split into so many variations thanks mainly to the Parcells/Belichick coaching tree, but the common theme of Earhardt-Perkins offenses is “throw to score, run to win”. Now with time, there have sprung up run-heavy branches of the WCO that also encapsulate this philosophy, such as the Shanahan branch, but the phrase was coined by Ron Earhardt, after whom the offense is named along with Ray Perkins, the Giants head coach at the time.

[@dougmaclennan8654]

I thought that seeing ghosts meant that you think you are going to be hit or under pressure but you aren't.

[@danl.909]

Love these vids, J. T. May I make a suggestion? I’d like to see you break down how the young QBs are progressing-or not-versus their early games in their careers. Like Deshaun Watson today vs. how he was playing in 2017. Same sort of thing for Goff, Wentz, Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, etc. I think there would be a lot to say about these young guns who are the future of the league and I’d love to see your expert take on them.

[@oscardahmer8533]

I was making fun of Sam Darnold but this vid made me change my tune.

[@mrfotns]

The offense completely revolves around Darnold. He's very talented but it's alot of pressure for a 21 year old qb

[@Angel-gg7qw]

You can do it, Corky ! Hopefully he learn from this and you best believe the jags are going to copy the pats script. So, darnold need to counter it or he will get expose by other defenses in the league

[@inhumanjoey310]

I didnt like Darnold at USC.

[@zeke____]

@@inhumanjoey310 ur trippin he made terrible coaching ,a head coach that I dont even know how he's still the coach, a not very good team all look good.

Great call. I expect the jags to copy the patriot script

[@nickbemo9940]

I don’t understand why the jets didn’t run more slants with the slot receiver, when the defense gives a zero look the easiest play to make as a qb is to throw it quickly right in the middle where there’s plenty of space for the receiver to go get it

It looks like on that Leveon Bell play Three different linebackers had there eyes on him. I think they were reading a screen pass with one person man-on-man. I think if Leveon slides to the left to block all three defenders rush the passer and it becomes another zero blitz.

[@morganstuart8798]

Great instructions, very clear and concise. On the sack-fumble wouldn't making 11 (Robby Anderson) the hot route and checking to a slant or drag be the call? It looked like a safety on your fastest receiver in man coverage.

I wish he had addressed whether or not the wide receiver were running their routes at the right depth on the first 2 plays.

Very young WRs last season for the Jets.

isn't the point of an NFL defense to make the opposing QB see ghosts? it's literally the goal every game- to disguise your coverages and make them think they are seeing different ones. it clearly gives the defense the upperhand- which is what the defense wants. i've never played quarterback ever- let alone football, and this makes totally perfect sense. anyone saying this is a bad thing for darnold is an absolute meat brain.

It's incredible to me how so many underestimate the effect bad pass pro has on a QB. Look at Daltons regression in Cincinnati. A serviceable QB turned into bottom tier QB in just a few years. This week he threw interceptions back to back in a span of seconds. Only thing interesting about this Darnold situation is that he was on the hot mic admitting to seeing ghosts, but it's obvious he's not the only one that experiences this.

Will you be doing a video on the Pats offense to show how they dealt with Greg Williams’ blitzes he called on that MNF game? Great videos as always!

[@TheQBSchool]

Prob not.

[@tompena1086]

So this is what makes me wonder how detailed defensive schemes get. At 5:39 the center and right guard are doing a standard doubleteam which makes sense for priority of the the inside man. The wide pass rusher really is lined up way outside in like a 9 technique which doesn't make sense with no backs if they're rushing the QB. I wonder if Belichick saw the chip problems/weakness and purposely created all that space between the right tackle and right guard to exploit it and if you notice the DT is slanting in which makes no sense unless it's a stunt or purposely trying to screw up the chip/combo. The real mistake here was the right guard making too much out of the combo when he didn't need to but he would have needed to slide to the outside almost immediately considering where his man was lined up. A first step away from his man is too much. Stinks we can't get this view on TV but if they were pulling stunts they could have set this situation up by creating worry on the inside. I wonder if that mistake is on film somewhere and it gets that detailed and got picked up or if I'm the one seeing ghosts?
