Chase Daniel Arch Manning Film Breakdown on YT

[Michelle Lynn]

Great video from Chase breaking down Arch’s game against Vandy. Chase was great on the call of one of our earlier games this season.

Very intrigued to see how he holds up against georgia because i highly doubt our offensive line will be as successful against them in pass pro 

[ArizonaLonghorn]

Thanks!

Really liked the breakdown beginning at the 9:10 mark where Arch goes to his 4th read (and Wisner makes a terrific block on pass protect).  Totally different QB play than earlier in the season.

Hope he has that much time against Georgia.

Their pass rush is not what it was last year.  I’d say Vandy and Florida have better pass rushes than Georgia this year. Be interesting to see if Georgia’s safeties are at full strength when we play them.  I think if we play like we did this week, we will put up a helluva fight—just like Ole Miss did.

Looked it up and Georgia is last in the SEC with 8 sacks all year.

Underestimating gerogia isn’t smart at all, But you do you. I’m sure a lot of people on this board said the dam about kentucky and we see how that went.

I find these pretty interesting in a different way than most.  I thought for dang sure Daniel was critical in his earlier review about the double hitch but was singing the praises here.

The play discussing the 4th option.  Livingstone had 6.  This may be a good example of reading the defense.  The Film Guy versus OSU wasn’t overly critical but highlighted a missed open receiver when Downs was playing games.  You have to read quick so sometimes you will miss because once you move off that route you’re likely not coming back to it.  Then he finishes the throw with less than stellar footwork but that’s ok cause it was on target.

Believe this is the second critique of being antsy in the pocket.  I have vague references about that being a critique of Payton.  It may tie into the hitch too so a bit curious if that’s intentional.

It doesn’t really matter whether I underestimate them or overestimate them—I don’t play the game.  I am just pointing out that Georgia’s pass rush is not what it was last year when we played them.  If we play like we played against Vandy, it shouldnt be a problem.  That is up to our Oline though— not you or me.   Hook em

yup. geo defense aint what it used to be. hope steve doesnt read this tho yo

That does not bode well for us. We have made teams with little to no sacks/pass rush look amazing this season see Florida, Kentucky, and MSU. We’ve played better against great defenses OU and OSU, so we better go in thinking this UGA team is as like the Ray Lewis Ravens lol. 

[Hookem72]

Connor Stroh and Nick Brooks had something to do with this.  Hopefully they continue to develop, but they were glaring weak spots on the oline except for Brooks at OU.

Their pass rush wasn’t great last year either but something like a 1/3 to 1/2 their sacks last year came from the 2 games vs us.

Out of the two games we played them, they had 13 sacks total, I think.

I Iike the film reviews because they do show that sometimes initial assessments are wrong.
 

 The film guy, brooks austin, would be really critical on first watch/on twitter, but then when he would actually break it down he’d usually be like “ohhhhh” and have more nuance. I feel the same with Chase.

I havent ever been big on watching these style videos in past seasons but have enjoyed it this year. I wonder if the antsy feet is also bc he isn’t used to having time and is still working on the trust??? It can take time to break bad tendencies.

The most offensive success we’ve seen this year is when sark goes away from his traditional offense to more spread concept 11 personnel style. It’s no coincidence that OU, Vandy, and 4th quarters vs Florida/Miss St have been our best games outside of playing SHSU. Sark needs to continue to stay with what has worked in those instances. Reverting back to his traditional offense would be a bad coaching decision. Going to the new look we have used spreads defenses out, disallows them to blitz like they have, and makes it easier for Arch to read the defense.

Amen! 🤘🤘👏👏👏

Limiting mistakes and turnovers will be the key to our success. This and staying healthy.

There’s nothing wrong with them generally speaking.  In my view, they were hypercritical given the circumstances.  I don’t go looking for them, it seemed the number for Arch relative to other guys was more.  Even Jesse Palmer in game 2 was feeding off the prior.  There were 3 plays that he was pretty critical and basically full of it.

I have recorded and rewatched games for going on 30 years.  There’s always tons of stuff you see on a 2nd and 3rd viewing and sometimes you pause it to see it.  Completely different than in real time.

Angles matter.  Including the tv view versus the end zone view.  I suspect the live viewing versus the end zone or all 22 may take some tweets from a live perspective to a more balanced view.  There’s often a disregard for throwing lanes.  Really there’s tons of nuance that gets forgotten.

Regarding the feet.  It could be a number of things.  Maybe the rush.  Maybe inexperience.  Maybe that’s a bit of who he is. There may be some because of timing too.  He’s made very good throws when less than perfect footwork was in play.  He’s not a guy that has to live in the pocket so by nature I’d expect him to vary his mechanics more than some.  Playmakers won’t always follow traditional teachings.

Yes, hitching is intentional. It is a built-in timing mechanism that quarterbacks are taught from the ground up.

Each hitch typically aligns with the rhythm of the passing concept. Some throws are released immediately at the top of the drop, while others are delivered after one or two controlled hitches.

For some play calls, each hitch generally represents a progression in the read sequence. The quarterback resets his base and eyes with each hitch to stay in phase with route timing and the defensive coverage shell.

When executed correctly, a hitch keeps the quarterback in rhythm and maximizes accuracy, efficient delivery, power, and even decision speed.

This was an awesome watch, I need to start watching more of these. Cool to see Chase break down the routes by progression against what the defense is trying to do. And highlighting how in rhythm Arch is compared to earlier in the year.

Here is an article about Peyton and his action in the pocket.  Not sure how much of this thought Arch incorporates into his game.

So funny reading how much Peyton hated playing off schedule, and meanwhile one of Arch’s greatest strengths is his ability to play off schedule 😂 Thanks for sharing this article!

Yeah.  We all have strengths and weaknesses and they don’t all translate equally within the family.

But watch how Arch walks and jogs on the field.  He does look quite a bit like Peyton.

[Deep in the heart]

Tre Wisner looks fantastic at pass pro. I don't remember him being that good at it last season. Chad Scott is earning his check!
