27 Brandon Burton

RB Dion Lewis
1st – 14:16 – Nice initial burst and acceleration through the hole
1st – 9:30 – Hits hole hard, nice speed and excellent vision … seems to go down easy
1st – 3:51 – Very quick and agile in tight space … changes directions on a dime My question is – can Lewis break tackles?????
1st – 1:47 – Shows ability to plant foot and drive forward
1st – 1:13 – Shows suddenness to running style
1st – 12:06 – PERFECT patience on this run, then when linemen get on their blocks he accelerates for TD … great instincts
Seems to go down easily on contact
Jonathan Baldwin
1st – 14:16 – Good run block … uses big frame
1st – 13:42 – Plucks football out of air away from body … good changing hanging on to ball after tackle
3rd – 2:54 – Doesn’t show great speed or burst on WR reverse
4th – 7:49 – Shows good football IQ on crossing route getting behind the zone … great hands, catches ball smoothly away from body, plucks out of air.
4th – 7:19 – TD catch, but poor coverage more than anything. Could have done a better job of bending knees, changing speeds, and giving more of a head fake in the double move. Disappointing route and gets TD because of bad defense.
4th – 7:19 (2-pt conversion) – Good job setting up CB in motion … Nice footwork.
4th – 0:51 – Bad football IQ – doesn’t get set before snap costs team penalty and potential TD
Jason Pinkston
1st – 12:59 – Excellent mobility and athleticism pulling on sweep … comfortable in space here and executes block efficiently
1st – 12:15 – Nice footwork and smooth athleticism
1st – 9:30 – Good job following through on play … shows some physicality on second level block
1st – 8:54 – Gets way too high … doesn’t bend at the knees and gets beat on run block
1st – 6:50 – Bends at waist a little too much … doesn’t bend at knees
1st – 6:44 – Horrendous footwork, poor technique gets schooled on spin move … would be sack had QB not gotten rid of ball
1st – 3:51 – Gets way too high immediately out of stance … obviously a poor technician and nothing is changing
1st – 1:13 – Very poor block here … leaves feet, bends at waist too much and gets thrown by DL
2nd – 14:10 – Nice drive block … shows some strength and tenacity here
3rd – 8:36 – Poor job of turning shoulders/body in pass pro as opposed to staying square and mirroring DL … gets easily turned around – vulnerable to counter moves
3rd – 8:11- WAY too high in stance, feet are too narrow together…collects false start penalty
4th 10:31 – Not light on his feet, but gets nice hand extension and shows some strength
Junior Tui’one
1st – 12:15 – Physical, nice stack and shed, makes tackle
2nd – 5:32 – Excellent sack … love his motor, great balance and body control, stays with play and makes athletic tackle on QB.
Greg Romeus
1st – 11:17 – Nice get-off after snap … shows strength in bull rush and physicality
1st – 10:50 – Shows bad instincts on zone read – qb keeper
1st – 10:29 – Excellent job taking on trap block from RG … stays low and maintains leverage. Shows strength and physicality to make tackle
1st – 5:49 – Excellent hand extension, shows some toughness and makes tackle. Terrific job with leverage and keeps low center of gravity which makes it difficult to block him.
1st – 4:45 – Nice instincts and PBU on screen play… does a good job of creating space with hands vs. LT
ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF BULL RUSH????
2nd – 1:48 – Nice hands on club move – very quick, but lacks speed to turn corner past LT
2nd – 6:19 – Doesn’t show an elite burst or speed on this play when he had the chance
4th – 8:53 – Stays low, sets edge…Romeus always does a great job of getting involved in run defense
Caleb Schlauderaff
1st – 9:50 – Head on swivel, shows good awareness to assist block on RDE
Brandon Burton
1st – 6:50 – Excellent coverage on WR Baldwin … shows good speed, positioning, and awareness on this play
3rd – 7:40 – Nice PBU vs. Baldwin … Times jump well and shows nice athleticism in air … shows some confidence and didn’t hesittate on play
4th – 7:20 – Not his fault TD was given up (blown coverage by safety), but gets hips flipped around too easily on double move vs. Baldwin
Jabaal Sheard
1st – 5:35 – Nice rip move to get to QB, but largely invisible thus far in game
2nd 4:29 – Good job taking on FB block … stays low, keeps feet pumping and makes play
Invisible throughout game … no impact from Sheard
