Staff Writer for Noles247. Interested in all things Florida State and all things strategy. I love diving into film and I love teaching. Hopefully, I can do both for this channel.
And here we are for another ride. Let's go for another great season. In X's and Noles, and especially Kevin, we trust. We know FSU watches these to help Norvel scout for upcoming games!
Georgia Tech is not gonna be a slouch this year. Their coach has them on an upward trajectory, and I think they give us plenty of trouble. I think somehow, our linebackers are still gonna end up chasing King around; at least until the second half.
next time just put it on .5 speed and jump forward when needed rather than playing full speed and trying to skip back to replay a 1 second play. no one wants to try and follow the plays in all 22 when its full speed and its just annoying to watch. slow it down.
What is the record prediction this year Kevin? Also it's a good sign when Xs and Noles is uploading content again. I am really worried about the WR Corp so we need DJU to ball out hard.
According to F+ the offense was worse this past season compared to 2022. I'm not t trying to be snarky just genuinely curious. Why do you think that was?
@@XsandNoles Our offense this past season is irrelevant to my claims about DJU as an individual. DJ wasn't good last year either. As far as Clemson's offensive regression last season there is a myriad of factors, OL and OL coaching was very poor, played with a hodgepodge of OLineman due to injuries, no real dynamic threat at WR especially with Cole Turner and Antonio Williams out nearly the whole year as well as Stellato and Brown playing injured. Cade did not protect the football and played similarly to DJ, slow, panicky, indecisive, he is young and definitely has far more upside than DJ does now however that doesnt matter for FSUs sake. DJ is a good dude so I wish him the best I just don't see a way he improves much, if any. This is his 5th year and he has not gotten better, everyone can't be great.
Receiver Error was a major factor that brought down JT's ratings. While DJU and JT have very different skill sets but arguably bring similar value, hopefully our receivers will be more consistent catching the ball b/c we wont have the luxury of having Jordan's ability to keep plays alive through his scrambling and running skill. I definately have confidence in him, this team and most of all our coaching Staff! GO NOLES!!!!
Love the content Kevin. The biggest concern that I have come away with is not with stats, but if he can put the team on his back when needed and make the offense go. If we get down by 10 to 14 points, like we did a handful of times last year, can he bring us back? Can he take over a game? If he can do that, then we are in the playoffs.
So in other words, we are still going to see 12 and 13 personnel but I feel we should spread them out in 11 or empty but I guess it will be 12 because we are going to have to run the ball
Man this guy is the best in the business. we are lucky he is a nole fan. Can't wait until he can do these type of videos consistently again. THanks so much
Good analysis. It seems FSU is also utilizing a more west coast scheme with the RBs to leverage his game. Another attacking component will be the play action I feel. If FSU are run heavy, they'll have to respect it, and that will open it up more. I think FSU is going to send a message Saturday. Buckle up boys and girls, it's almost here.
Would we consider Norvell’s offense a pro-style offense? DJ seemed to thrive in a lot of those under center/pistol formations and concepts - with an emphasis on the run game and PA passing - in Oregon State.
It resembles a pro style more and more every year imo. I think they technically would be a "power spread" team in years past but it's really splitting hairs. If they run more under center this year than it will seem very pro style
Love this content, thank you. Fingers crossed you’re making a video in 3 months “DJU has improved his completion percentage dramatically… but how did he do it? Let’s break it down”
Always dig how you wrap up the videos! From what you presented, I think our OL should give him plenty of time in 9 of the games. When he doesn’t have an OL advantage, do you think FSU’s personal still are a good fit to keep him working his strengths rather than exposing weaknesses?
Kev- you have no idea how much happiness and excitement your videos bring me. Thanks so much for being so incredible at your craft. Have the best week!
