For example, I have on film Dave Thomas (TE/H-Back – Texas) calling out the blitzes for the O-line so that his offensive center knows what side of the line the potential blitz is coming from - so that the center can then make his calls. The QB usually makes this call to keep the RB and O-line on the same page to block the potential blitz. When I saw this, it made me realize that Vince was not even up to speed on the basics of the QB position at the college level. I didn’t need a Wonderlic test or a combine workout to know that old Vince is nowhere near a finished project at the college level, much less ready to be a QB at the next level. I just bet there is no highlight or edited film that shows this little incident.
Regarding Chad, I have him on film most of the time making tackles after the RB has passed the line of scrimmage and with the player falling forward. The only time I’ve seen him put a player on his back is if the player is standing still. Now, at the college level, that might be all right; however, at the next level, if you can’t meet your man, cut off the angle and drive him onto his back at least once in a game, you will not be an impact LB at the next level. You might be a solid LB, but not an impact LB.
