Just wanted to share the video I uploaded on Brian Price of UCLA onto YouTube.
He's such an interesting player, because if you took just the first 23 plays of the clip and the final 11 plays of the clip and said this is just over a three game span, you'd be absolutely drooling.
Unfortunately, the 26 plays of him going to ground in the middle is a damning bit of film.
It leaves you wanting to re-evaluate the plays that he made, or came close to making. There are questions.
1. Can he learn to aggressively penetrate off the snap without running risk of going to ground?
2. If not, how many of those GOOD plays were due to his overaggressive and unbalanced penetration/burst to the football?
This is Brian's "Price Tag" as I'm calling it. He makes those gaudy plays, but there is a price. His burst to the football is highly unbalanced and it's too easy to get him on the ground. He is not a controlled football player. It makes you wonder if, in order to get a good look at the guy we'll actually see in the pro game, I should just eliminate all of those clips where he shows the best burst off the snap, or the best burst off the football, because his pro coaches will only ask him to go 80% if his 100% means he goes to ground as often as he does.
Enjoy.
