Trevor's Got the Talent - Needs to Take the Layups | NFL Week 4 Review | Kurt Warner Game Tape Study

There are a lot of questions about what's going on in Jacksonville and what's wrong with Trevor Lawrence. My biggest takeaway with Trevor over the years has simply been that he's extremely talented. He makes special plays every game and does things that very few guys can do, but he’s got to continually improve on the little things and make the layups. Whether it's an easy read that I expect him to make at this point in his career or an open throw that I expect him to complete, he’s got to do that. He has to make more of those plays. There are too many plays in games where I just look and think, "OK, you've got to make that one." If you want to elevate your team and yourself to elite status, you’ve got to make those throws. Sometimes, you have to slow yourself down in the pocket, clean up your footwork, understand your read, and make better decisions.
I don't know everything going on in the room; I’m just telling you what I would teach as a coach, and why. I’m always going to tell you why. I’m never just going to say, "do this" or "do that." I’m explaining WHY I would do it, and that’s what all these videos are about. I want you guys to hear my reasoning, and I would love for coaches to reach out to me and say, "OK, here’s our 'why,'" so I can challenge my "why" against theirs. Together, we can come up with the best "why." To me, that’s what it’s all about-coming up with the best play for every situation to help all of our guys be successful and, more importantly, help the quarterback be successful.
So, that's the biggest thing with Trevor: clean up the footwork, clean up the timing, and make the throws that are right there in front of you. Those are the little things that will take him to the next level because he’s got all the talent to get there. #trevorlawrence #nfl #jaguars

Kurt is the absolute best in the TV analyst business at breaking down QB techniques/pocket presence. I learn a lot every time I tune in to him, either on TV or here on his YT Channel... He's the John Smoltz of the NFL

[@krhimself]

Trevor's ceiling - not the floor, but the *ceiling* - for the foreseeable future is the Lions Matthew Stafford: an outrageously talented player who was annointed the savior of a franchise who many at the time thought couldn't possibly be saved, and who had stretches where he carried his team to huge wins. But all too often, he was let down by bad coaching, bad roster-building, and the general dysfunction and malaise surrounding the organization. TL, like Stafford, will accomplish some amazing things as an NFL quarterback... years from now, on his next team.

[@bobkenobi1008]

Trevor has got to be better and he knows this.

Listening to Kurt you get why he was unstoppable w/ The Greatest Show on Turf- knows exactly what to do no matter what defense you give him. Will always find the weak spot and exploit it. Trev- love you man, watch Kurt Warner!

[@Reecekeepthepiece]

Very interesting insight on C. Kirk, he could help himself more yet he’s one of the leading receivers in separation. Very cool to see he can be even more dangerous

[@jaguardee8443]

Great comprehensive breakdown. I thought that Trevor was becoming another college phenom that doesn’t translate in the NFL. I really wish JAX didn’t crown him so prematurely.

[@DjO559]

Thanks for the video kurt. Good info here. 👍

[@Duuuval23]

What I took away from this is that Trevor has been sped up so much from playing behind one of the worst o-lines every year he’s entered the league. He’s making a decision way too fast and his feet are hardly ever settled. He’s not seeing ghost because that sum bitch will stand in there and take a hit. If his o-line plays like they did against the Texans more often, then he will settle down and get back to where he was at the second half of 2022 and first half 2023.

[@VongolaPrimo89]

Bingo

[@sauce5343]

Elite QBs making 55 million a year would be able to perform under the pressure. Kurt is calling the layups for a reason bud because they should be easy throws

[@Dps1940]

Hey Kurt, at the play at 18:00, could Trevor have just handed the ball to Bigsby? Pre snap looks like Cover 1 with an over look and the man defenders to the right. Line all shifts left and Bigsby has the far side of the field to work with.

Can Kurt be the coach? So many detail issues whether it’s the QB, WR, or OLine, something seems to go wrong every play.

[@michaelmoore5698]

Trevor is a good timing QB, but what makes Patrick Mahomes elite is whether it's time or not he can make plays regardless. If it's off platform or off timing he still makes plays happen. Trevor will never be like that

[@jermaine-q4g]

Guys were open. The playcalls were good. The issue is Trevor 🤷

Can u do a video on Jalen Hurts and the new offense

[@nevanthebomb3883]

Everyone says eagles offense is old school, and I get that we have old school qualities since we're physical and kind of slower, but what kind of schemes or themes should we be running with to make the most of those qualities? What offenses in the past are comparable to the eagles offense right now or comparable to what they could potentially look like?

[@bradmyers7109]

Is it the fault of a coach during the game that does not point out the mistakes Trevor is making with his footwork to help Trevor be more accurate on his throws or is it not possible for any coach on the field or in the booth upstairs during the game to see what Trevor is doing wrong?

[@bobkenobi1008]

Cant do that during the game lol

[@SurlyDuff814]

Pederson had all off-season to point this stuff out but clearly didn't. Never tried to address Wentz's mechanics either and it pretty much killed his career.

[@bobkenobi1008]

@SurlyDuff814 just say you hate doug pederson. Trevor has a coach he works with in the off season. All of the qbs have done this. Brady used to do it. Trevor is a big boy he gotta be better. Not on HC.

@SurlyDuff814 and Wentz had 8 good games in his whole career. Stop everybody acting like Wentz was the chosen one.

[@bradmyers7109]

@@bobkenobi1008 We can see Trevor's footwork live ON TV or cable during the game just like the coaches can see in the booth upstairs unless you think the coaches cannot watch cable on their phones in the booth. Are you telling me that coaches that are helping Trevor are incapable of telling him at halftime what mistakes he is making in the game?

He already said he's not really a vocal leader thats just not what he does his words (Trevor's)

[@ToroRico]

Absolutely love your content Mr. Warner, but please consider a different audio/microphone setup. Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to watch the entire video because it just doesn't sound good. Your voice sounds unclear, like the microphone is just a little bit too far away, along with other sporadic audio issues like volume spikes, rustling of clothes, pops, echoing etc.

[@tropics8407]

Man this thing is complicated 😅

[@billmccaffrey1977]

For a team to have bet their future on a QB, why has he not been coached up? He should have spent the last two off seasons working on his footwork. Hell, Peyton Manning did this until he retired. I cannot fathom why he hasn't had a personal coach working him hard.

[@MadisonAvenue074]

It’s because it’s scripted bro, you literally just said it. It’s because they aren’t trying. They always say “he’s missing the lay ups” but in practice what is he doing?? Just standing around. Football is scripted tho bro scripted around gematria and betting and other rituals as well. Look into it you’ll see.

If he doesn’t play like a top 5 qb every game we won’t win it’s like no one cares he doesn’t have help

[@jwynter5857]

Trevor has paralysis by analysis, he needs to get out of his head and just play ball for a bit. If he throws dome picks, he throws some picks. But he needs to trust his arm and his receivers but the receivers aren't helping him out with all the drops. And Christian Kirk is looking like he's super rusty from missing most of last year.

[@shivnerine1]

He’s gotten scared of making turnovers, several Of his picks are drops turned into picks, he also doesn’t want to fumble, several of his fumbles are when he’s about to throw the ball he’s suddenly blitzed and hit, so if you notice he either takes too long to throw and holds the ball tighter orrr he throws too quickly and overthrows

[@jwynter5857]

@@shivnerine1 Yeah, he needs to relax. That sounds easier said than done because you tend to tighten up when things aren't going well. But he needs to just YOLO a game or 2 and then try and recapture the middle ground.

[@SurlyDuff814]

The talent is obviously there, we've seen it in stretches and while I'll concede we haven't helped him as much as we should have, at some point consistency becomes key and he has never shown it. He'll make 3-5 phenomenal throws per game and miss 3-5 of the easiest throws you get in this league. It's maddening. Great video, I love these breakdowns that relay what us amateurs see but can't correctly articulate.

[@AlexRosner-v8t]

He has no talent

[@1percent___]

Been watching trev for years. He absolutely is inaccurate but will hit a splash play at times. Locks on to his recievers & bails pockets. Airmails flat routes at times.. just want the kid to get comfortable & be a dawg out there

[@leonkayak]

Maybe It would be best for Trevor Lawrence to get out of the minor league in Jax

[@Prerogative1000]

The terminology of making the layouts sounds good in theory. However, there's a part of football that 90% of the people as professionals may get it wrong as well. As the commentary or fanbase in any given sport. Or event that requires the human body or human mind. There is what is called vibration. If Trevor Lawrence, miss an easy read like he has in. The past lay up or not, you have to feel the vibrations. Another word for the vibration is called. Feeling the game. When you feel the game that's a vibration. He needs to feel the game. In short, some things can be taught. Some things can be learned. He has to slow the game down to the point where he understands his abilities under pressure. Or under d Duress.

He had "balls" in Clemson. He "was" a leader. He was a "leader" because he is a natural "leader." He isn't anymore. He's just letting the NFL control him.

[@morganyu812]

@AlanHinson I would like to see those 5 throws from every game because I think you are grossly exaggerating as a casual to say Trevor is the problem. He's not. The coaching staff is not using him to the best of his abilities. Look at the league now. The top QBs are Derek Carr, Sam Darnold, and Geno Smith. Coaching Staff matters

Smashing Pumpkins name came from Billy the frontman hearing that phrase when he was young and always wanting to have a band named that. The “Smashing” part is like the British use like “Fantastic” or “Awesome” pumpkins. Billy Corgan is an incredible guitarist and layers tons of guitars on the recording of this album. Try Cherub Rock or Hummer next.

What does this have to do with Trevor Lawrence? Billy is probably a Bears fan if he likes football and he turned down the NFL network when they wanted to use Today.

I don't think the stick - flat play would have worked to the short throws. The DB is covering two guys maybe you get a yard. The earlier play where he didn't take the corner - the play was for receiver to go upfield so he would have run into that safety coming down hard. This is more of an OC problem than Lawrence issue, but Trevor Larry has to be vocal about it if it's to change.
