[QUOTE="stylee, post: 27358, member: 882"] Thanks for that video, gt13. Watching that, you have to get excited about Justin's running ability. I like his footwork on roll out passes - he gets to his spot and plants and turns his shoulders, while keeping his eyes downfield. His straight dropbacks from under center start off nicely, with a good drop to get him some depth, but he drifts backwards a little bit after his initial plant. While he might need that to see better, it does make it a little more difficult to get the extra yards on the passes. It also screws with timing a little. I'm not wild about how he looks in the pistol passing game. Vad was much better at getting that initial drop - you still need that because you're not in the true shotgun, and it helps with timing. Justin appears to just catch it and hop around, stationary. He steps into his throws more consistently than Vad. He's also much more confident about his ability to get the ball in tight spaces. No idea how well he reads secondaries at this point. Most of his completions in the video came off of really simple reads and/or "throw to X"-type looks. I remember the pick he threw against Miami was off of Smash and was more of a case of him not seeing the OLB sprinting to the flat than not making the right read on the cornerback. He's got to pick up on stuff like that too, though. He attacks on his pistol runs a lot better than Vad. I think the pistol/diamond stuff is more viable with him for that reason. Vad made it tough to run the read play because of his reluctance to get upfield if he pulled the ball. He was really in some bad spots this year, thrown in near the goalline and running QB draws a lot. [/QUOTE]
