Hells Yeah!!!
Just finished watching it on youtube... Nice watch. Though I think some of the plays he calls RPOs in there were definitely play/run action passes... As neither Tua or the RB's action look like they expect a run out of this.
JT is awesome, excellent communicator! Love when he gets excited, thanks for the easy share bro!!
I enjoyed the video and the breaking down of the great work by Tua and his weapons. Interesting how these former scrubber backup QBs (Chris Simms, Dan Orlovsky, JT O'Sullivan) have successfully transitioned into the media as brilliant QB analysts.

Chris Simms? He's one of the worst.
He gets the ratings and has nice blond hair.
Simms works with Florio. What else can you expect? He's for sure one of the worst.
JT and Orlovsky are both great. They may have been "scrubbers" in the NFL, but they obviously know the game at an extremely high level. You don't get to the show unless you do, particularly when you aren't known for your overwhelming physical characteristics.
You beat me to it. I just can’t listen to Simms. He only has a job because of his father and he really is a terrible judge of QB talent.
19:27 in JT's video. He's talking about Waddle's route running (which is incredible) but I keep re-watching Armstead's block.
#72 a bad man. What a signing he was.

At first I thought JT was reacting to Armstead’s block rather than Waddle’s crazy moves.
I got flamed for this by one of our finheaven experts for making a comment somewhat similiar, told i was clueless about football and the RPO
"I know its hard to fathom with our elite coaching staff we had, what if our RPO's werent true RPO's just play designed to look like it. Say Tua never even had the option post snap to make the decision on handoff or pass. The play is still ran to look similiar to an actual RPO, but pass or handoff is called presnap, you just go thru the motions of it being an option to try to freeze the LB's or End somewhat. so in theory they were really running playaction out of shotgun, or halfback dive out of shotgun, not true RPO and Tua wasnt really even getting to read or make the decision." (this was in regards to RPO's last season, i still think that some are decided pre-snap, but that Tua gets a bigger say so in the call now)
So I'm with you, i think that some of the plays he's calling RPO's arent true RPO's but by design they are set up to look like it to keep the D guessing

I think ya both nailed it then. McDaniel is king for getting his weapons open and in space to make plays. He was the run game specialist for dem 49ers and knows how a defense will react to certain looks in the play action.
It's a beautiful sight to see a well coached offense, and a well designed offense flourish with a elite QB at the helm. Never thought I'd see the day in south beach... exciting times.

Watching this gives me a very strong feeling that players who have athletic gifts but never play to their potential have issues beyond the athletic portion of the game. There is a LOT to process for these guys, and unfortunately THAT part of the gig somehow eludes them.
