Not willing to put themselves out there for ridicule by actually assessing players and their technique or their play in different assignments of different defensive looks. Mostly, b/c they don't know anything about the defense, the players responsibility, or desired technique.

Good follows are @TheFilmRoom or @Jacobs71.

Cordell(@TheFilmRoom or formerdb on message boards) really has a wealth of knowledge to share. Very good follow, problem being he hasn't made training camp much save about a week.

Nick Jacobs(@Jacobs71 with Metro Sports) isn't as knowledgeable as Cordell, but still light years better than most. He may not be as knowledgeable as Cordell, but is better than most and willing to put himself out there. Even though he likes Stanzi, he's a lot less biased than most, pointing out his terrible mistakes as well as good plays.

One night when Cordell was unable to attend, he asked Jason Madison what coverage the QB's were throwing against in 7 on 7 in the redzone, which was a TDfest, Madison made excuse after excuse why he couldn't answer the question. I left the area, ten minutes later, still reporting on 7 on 7 happenings, Cordell asks again, "I can't get a good look from where I'm at". All this while the defense typically works on the same coverage through all three teams so they can all get reps and the coaches can evaluate a player's play in said coverage. The guy had tons of opportunities to figure out the coverage, but didn't know how and was afraid to put himself out there for ridicule. @Jacobs71 later answered Cordell question for him.

Those two guys are about the only guys I trust for player evaluation. The majority of the rest don't know what they're looking at and are only good for updates on what's happening.

Jason La Canfora is supposed to be at camp today I believe. Don't know if he's any good at player evaluation, or just a reporter like most of the rest. Still be cool to hear his takes though.

Here's how you can tell if a guy is good at player evaluation according to aturnis & BossChief


If they suck off Stanzi they know what there talking about.


If they don't then they don't know what there talking about.
