Nico Iamaleava is the BEST Tennessee QB since Matt Simms? 😳 (📍‪@ModeloUSA‬) | The CFB Show

well it's time now for the Playbook presented by Modello and Maddie last year was the year of the quarterback but let's not pretend that there aren't talented quarterbacks going into this year right we start in Knoxville with a youngster taking over the Reigns and Nico IAM malava it's going to take a while to get that name down but I think we got it there what what impressed you about him today yeah well he he's like blade man he just needs one name Nico hey he's a baller this dude is phenomenal I and I was so impressed with what I saw from him today the composure the accuracy down the field was absolutely phenomenal I mean it it's next level and I am just so pumped being a former all yeah I'm being a little Homer this clip here I know it's just Chattanooga and all that but I don't care they asked for three plays and I threw my boy in there because I was just so impressed so we have a 4x1 formation by Tennessee right here and Chattanooga is trying to make sure that they flood this side of the field to stop this four receiver side and this is what crazy about what hyp does offensively you're going to get an offensive play here where we're going to pull the guard to block this end we're going to fake inside Zone and then these two guys are going to jog all the football and do absolutely nothing and you know what Dante Johnson who is off the screen here because they try to spread out the field as much as possible he's just going to run a simple go route one-on-one against the corner but what we're really highlighting here right pass protection great this Young quarterback oh my Lord oh oh oh my God what a throw right there by the young man he threw it so good he didn't even know how to catch it right and the other thing too is just now with this threat of spreading the field throwing it down the field vertically like this the pass protection the formation right and just the beautiful touch right by this quarterback so impressive and and this is something that was lacking a year ago which now Tennessee's offense has again this is just one of the displays of talent Nico showed I think that was probably one of the biggest questions coming in we all know n Nico had a ton of talent but you just kind of needed to see it and 22 for 28 for 313 in 1 half I think that that probably is says everything you need to know about the youngster so so Nico is just getting started in his career Carson Beck has been doing his thing in Athens for a long time they were in Atlanta today and Carson looked like the same old Carson yeah and again this is why he's one of my Heisman hopeful and we saw a few other quarterback performances this past weekend too right that really makes me think that there's going to be a few others there chasing it as well but Mike Bobo what he has done offensively again to build off of what they did last year so we had a 2 by two set here stacked position we're going to motion this receiver over into a bunch set and Clemson at this point in the game's like we got to start taking risk we got to start pressuring the quarterback and we are going to get a fiveman pressure with the four down lineman and this backer adding in this backer is going to drop in zone and they're going to play zone behind this area the problem is they're going to leave the entire middle of the field wide open and that's an issue because that's a area of the field that Carson Beck and this offense like to attack the concept that they run really cool high corner here we got a shallow Cross by transfer London Humphrey and then we have a little Trail rout by the receiver here on the bottom so it's a really easy read for him right it's just shallow cross to the trail and with this pressure as soon as it happens at the snap he knows there's no defender in the middle of the field so what is he doing I'm going to be patient with my read by time and just make sure I see out in front for my receiver he sees no danger throws a nice soft touch pass to him on the move he hits that front Peck and when he hits that front Peck he can just take off and run and do the rest and get yards out of the catch and I love this attitude right there at the end with the strong finish this throw looks easy he makes it look easy but can you talk about the timing aspect of how much practice probably goes into a play like this well a lot of it is right it's the preparation right but then also too it's the composure when the play actually happens they see that pressure but he knows that he's protected and you see him just kind of hang on that back step just buying time for his guy and that's also the ability too of just being a big tall guy like Carson back is and being able to stand in the pocket strong like that but you see right here like we have a safety trying to cover all the way across from the opposite side of the field from this Bunch formation so this is Mike bobo just out scheming Clemson's defense and really just a nice little pick there by the by the Empire as well but just out scheming the Clemson defense throughout the second half yeah and this one we're going to go right here to Quinn yers um George's got some company at the top of the SEC now with Texas coming over yers obviously LED them to the playoff last year and he's back at it again and it's still so weird for you to like say that like you were Texas in the SEC it's just so strange to me but again another 4 by one formation this is kind of like a new trend in football too it's just trying to overload one side of the football field and and then what do you do you leave one-on-one matchups on the backside with typically your better player back there and who is that now for Texas it's the Alabama transfer Isaiah Bond and he really showed his worth for this offense today Texas has like a normal high low concept here to the field so they just got a corner route a little sit and this tight end's actually coming out to block for the halfback if ERS decides to throw to the halfback there but you know what he makes it very simple for himself why re three different when I could just say My Guy versus your guy here in the bottom Isaiah bond does a phenomenal job releasing inside actually gets hands to the face adjusts his helmet halfway through this rep and Quin ERS throws a beautiful throw into the back corner for a touchdown really easy execution but it all again goes to the preparation and the execution by the players on the field very good MD is back home back here on the touch he feels excellent listen thing that is that is the very very first edition of The Playbook presented by Modell so these we wait hold on though we got one more play here we got one more right great play Here by Texas yeah we added one late I'm just getting word here confirmation oh here it is here it is talk about this is my boy Sam ravit over here all right the country club man himself right I don't know what is this a a uranium golf ball the blow up golf ball yeah all right he's playing golf at night it doesn't matter he doesn't need the sun you see you see the wind up now check out the delivering the force from one side to the other you know this is the only time that you have hips but I know what you're saying okay all right and just an absolute rocket down the middle of the Fairway there unbelievable shot I love this love this guy dedication hour how far did that go that that was a good 270 look at that good 270 but what are you using that of BG that that is a driver hit well on the glowup ball it is um that golf what you didn't see is it actually ended up in the rough but we don't have fun don't wor we not it looks straight okay not the first time we a golf way better than what he does not the first time we get a golf all right we got to move it along we got to a lot counting down the good times staring down the clock throw some Hallelujah [Music]
