West Virginia QB Garrett Greene & The Re-Imagining of Neal Brown's Offense | FTB Spotlight

[@iwineverygame1995]

Great work. Best football content since February.

[@ZCamp929]

Gotta commend you, here. Very, very few folks that I've seen - be they Natl Media or regional pod guys who focus on one program or one conference - have done such an in-depth look at Greene and why he's poised for a monster year. I appreciate this type of thing.

[@ForTheBlogy]

Thanks so much. This is our 4th installment of this series...they're a beast to research/produce but we're finding the ultra-thorough, deep-dive approach at a topic is something college football fans crave in this aggregate/pump something out daily media world. So again, thanks for the kind words.

[@chrisd6287]

Great breakdown. Well done sir.

[@elievans8102]

Great video! I appreciate you being unbiased and providing an honest, fair breakdown. Haven’t seen too many of those in recent weeks. I expect WVU’s passing game to improve with personnel continuity from last year along with the addition of two P4 WR transfers who have produced at their previous schools, respectively. If the passing game improves its efficiency and the running game remains as productive as last year, then WVU can absolutely give PSU a real scare and potentially win if the ball bounces their way a couple of times.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

I appreciate the time put into this and the respect for GG’s game. It’s nice to see someone who doesn’t just look at a star and run with it.

[@ForTheBlogy]

We appreciate it, CCS

[@seanmulligan3037]

WVU fan here, amazing breakdown of this game. Appreciate it!

[@WVUFootballGoinDeep]

I've seen a lot of people say they did research, but this is one of the few times it was actually true. This is a better analysis of Greene than a lot of WV media has done (with the exception of Jed Drenning on the In the Gun podcast). A bit off on understanding the Neal Brown offense, but that's common. It's the difference between what he would like to do and what he has the players to do. If you look at the second half of 2023, that's close to being "the Neal Brown offense," but it was still tweaked a bit by Greene's issues with the short to intermediate passes. Also, Brown does work with Greene on "control," getting him to understand when to stick with the play and when to improvise. It's a tough balance, and that's part of why Greene didn't emerge until last year (especially the second half). One of the big things about Greene is that the entire team would run through a wall for him, then get up and do it again. Many people thing WVU has no chance against PSU, but I'm expecting an epic game.

[@ForTheBlogy]

Thanks for the additional context on Brown's offense. And yes, even from a distance, it's apparent Greene has an infectious personality...very Baker Mayfield-like at Oklahoma.

[@lukebart920]

You ain't lying this a Great job! Penn State fans should watch this

[@gregsonger7221]

​@ForTheBlogy except no off-field shenanigans. GG is an exemplary young man. He's going to end up as a Mountaineer great.

[@TheYates27]

You know this is a good breakdown l.

[@satackett]

Great breakdown. I really appreciate someone actually doing the work and not just saying well its penn state, of course they will win. I'm not saying WVU will win but to act like they have absolutely no shot without even looking into them at all, (like they are some fcs team) like some other videos I have seen. You earned a sub in my book.

[@CouzsCornerSports]

Great video!

[@anthonyhill503]

What PSU thinks of WVU is what Ohio State and Michigan think of PSU

[@gk8334]

Penn State doesn't care what Ohio State or Michigan think of them.

[@JakeEngen]

Really cause they beat us by single digits and we beat WVU by 25

[@Steely_Cam]

Hubris

[@dylancook5487]

@@gk8334Maybe they don’t but that doesn’t make it inaccurate lol

[@TheYates27]

How will they feel after the loss in Morgantown?

[@BJtheMountaineerguy]

On top of all that, a majority of his WRs were freshman. They brought in two more 6’2”+ receivers from the portal on top of all the young talent he already had. They should be really good this season

[@deluxplus]

Quality video man 💥

[@johnsongoat8131]

"I literally said out loud to my cat..." 🤣

[@Gr8H8ful8]

Great job on this!

[@bobfox2733]

Adirondack Mountains are in New York State not West Virginia the Appalachians are.

[@ForTheBlogy]

haha we caught that after we released it. hand up, that's on us.

[@davidshreve3561]

Not a commentator worthy of WV attention 🥱

[@richmoneybrax]

@@davidshreve3561dude broke down things really well and screwed up on geography…weak criticism

[@1stDownFishing]

His intermediate passing hasn’t been the best but he can play. I’ve always liked Penn State. Thank you for doing an honest break down.

[@lukebart920]

Glad you explained the coverages because some fans cant read defenses and i think that helps with the casual fan!

[@Steely_Cam]

I wasn’t proud of how the drawings turned out. Darn deadlines!

[@dougitydog]

keeping the dirt dog is key

[@ChrisBuchignani]

Penn State has struggled with mobile QBs in the past. I expect they’ll have their hands full with WVU’s skill guys. Gotta win at the LOS and lean on a reconstructed secondary that I think *could* be better than the ‘23 group, despite losing three pro-caliber corners.

[@scarcheer7211]

The cold nights in Morgantown aren’t in the Adirondack Mountains. Those are in New York. We are in the Appalachians which has several different sub names. Otherwise pretty factually sound analysis.

[@ForTheBlogy]

hahaha yes, we know. Hand up, our mistake. Slipped through the cracks and we definitely should have caught it.

[@brettk9316]

I mean #11's coverage on that play at 6:23 was abysmal you think Penn St gonna cover like that? I think not!

[@socialhax5824]

This was a very well put together video on what his numbers represent. Everyone looks at that 53% at face value without looking at how his numbers are they way they are. They don't mention the low INT rate, BTT%, Avg throw downfield. So good job in actually looking at this QB. IDK if we will beat penn st. BUT GG will make it a game. He was also one of the best at 2min offense. @couzscorner

[@ForTheBlogy]

appreciate it, SH

[@socialhax5824]

@ForTheBlogy no problem! I personally think the key will be wvu D vs penn st O... I think Penn st could have a tough time getting going with a new system. IF that happens is how wvu would win. My opinion.

[@Steely_Cam]

FWIW I wanted to talk about the BTT% but Mr. Editor cut it out

[@mocarpenter8836]

Our 2nd string QB would START at 75% of B12 schools!! Nicco is 6'2 200 with NFL potential!!

[@APawdcast]

“Like chopping an onion” 😅

[@ericsturm3679]

Yoh. Great review......EXCEPT.....It's the APPALACHIAN WINTERS....not the ADDIRRONDACK (upstate New York).

[@ForTheBlogy]

lol yes we know. our fault. thank you, though

[@danielhammonds2992]

In what world is WVU in the Adirondacks?

[@lukebart920]

You need a job somewhere making some good money brother!

[@Steely_Cam]

Can i list you as a reference on my resume? Lol

[@AmericanRevanchism]

So his skill set and style are similar to Trace McSorley's.

[@ForTheBlogy]

similar type of player. greene is faster with a stronger arm. mcsorley more accurate. but def. parallels between the two

[@brettk9316]

Neal Brown will be a hair away from being impaled in game one :) I got PSU 42 and west va 20!

[@brianmiller1977]

This is what I call a flavor saver....

[@brettk9316]

Those tackles are bad for West Va think Penn St will have a field day if they still got those guys look at how NC ripped thru them!

[@thewvuguy]

Brother Wyatt Milum is a consensus 1st round pick

[@grandadmiraldon5537]

WVU beat NC by 3 tds lmao

[@caseybicanich6385]

Adirondack winter? This jagoff doesn't know geography or college football.

Adirondacks, Appalachians, I can't be the first one to make that mistake.

Enjoy the outback bowl for like the 15 th year in a row Ped State is the Ohio State and Michigans whipping boy. Wvu by 14

[@brettk9316]

one big hit from a huge PSU player and probably lights out for Greene :( he better limit his running!

[@Steely_Cam]

I wouldn’t be so confident. As I point out in the video, he’s the best in the game at eluding pressure. He’s a slippery one, Mr. Greene.

[@maxwellbarney3507]

That fact that Joe paterno is likely burning in hell right now overjoys me and anyone who thinks otherwise is just ignorant 🤷‍♂️
