Justin Fields mechanics

[ThatGuyRyan]

I didn't take him for a sheep.

Nah he said it was very close between 2,3,4 . His only complaint in the 40 minutes of film breakdown was that on occasion he doesn’t progress through his reads, but still completes a pass. It’s good shit.

Well it's fucking Kurt Warner so I'd watch it, it's good. He goes over the good and bad (his opinion) he had him rated 4th.

I think he said 2-4 were interchangeable though right?

 

[greg23]

Now do the 2 QBs between him and Lawrence.

Actually can't believe Lance went ahead of him....total projection.

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Small hands
Slow release
Questionable speed of reading defense

Those were the nitpick reasons he was there at 11....they could come true, he could fix them or they aren't really an issue

We'll soon find out.

The only one I'd worry about is slow going through reads. I think he improved on that this year and is incredibly smart and hard working and will continue to get better with experience.

I've seen breakdowns of him doing full reads. The only consistent knock seems to be his sense for pocket pressure and taking too many sacks.

Not even sure how Phillip rivers ever completed a pass it’s so ugly... fields will be fine.

Yeah he specifically said on occasion, it wasn’t really a knock.

Yeah I don't remember who did I breakdown I saw but they mentioned that and how it is an issue with Watson and Wilson too. I'm alright with that lol

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

Warner does an excellent job of breaking down the play, telling you what he was coached to do, and then evaluates. The first video is all praise about his ball, pocket awareness, progressions/smarts. The second are “mistakes” and they’re not really mistakes

 

[modo]

After watching Fields there were plenty of plays where he did a great job of stepping into the pocket to avoid pressure. He just didn’t do it as consistent

Right? haha

+Progression speed seems to be the major issue.

I've heard the complaint he stares down his first read too long. The explanation I've heard several times is OSU offense has a lot of long developing option routes, so that is what he was supposed to be doing.

Well it's fucking Kurt Warner so I'd watch it, it's good. He goes over the good and bad (his opinion) he had him rated 4th.

yeah, I'd value his opinion over JT O'Sullivan and Chris Simms.

Bears 2021 slogan. Fields is Hitchin, He’s Trippin, He’s Rippin......bongs!

I added some M. Night Shyamalan twist shit in there.

How about @0:48....can't you "Fields"....... a Brand new Day

 

[CaliBearFan]

I believe Simms concern was that when he gets pressured or doesn't have time to set the hitch can cause the ball to come out errantly.
I haven't seen it yet. Maybe it's in someone's breakdowns where they're not just showing highlights.

Trevor Lawrence Scouting Report​

Negatives: Passes sail over the intended target’s head on occasion. Shows a hitch in his throwing motion.

O'Sullivan and Warner both have good breakdowns where they also go over bad plays. O'Sullivan has like over two hours of video breaking down different games so he covers it all

 

[Toast88]

I am not watching something 20 minutes long that’s called “study ball.” Only a former HyVee employee could come up with a name like that.

Cliff notes?

Fields is good at reading defenses and finding the open guy, but needs to be more consistent.

More on Lawrence

WEAKNESSES​

• Could improve his anticipation.
• Has a tendency to get lazy in some moments.
• Usually operates out of read 1 options and could benefit from an extended playbook.
• Won’t be the speediest of QBs but can get the job done in the run game if needed.
• Can have tunnel vision when going through defensive reads.

There aren’t too many flaws in Trevor Lawrence’s game but there are some things he will want to clean up this season.


The first being that he can lock on to 1 particular receiver for too long. Instead of going through his reads, he occasionally waits for a receiver to become open inviting unnecessary pressure. This can then cause him to force throws that aren’t there leading to interceptions.


Secondly, on some plays he fails to set his feet correctly in the pocket. This then leads to passes going too high or too low rendering them uncatchable. He also has passes batted down at the line of scrimmage with is unusual for a quarterback of his size.
