00:00 What is up ladies and gentlemen, happy Thursday to you here on the Film Guide Network.
00:06 We got a saying around here, last shows, best shows.
00:10 All right, it is Thursday.
00:11 We have done eight hours of content, nine hours of content if you include film study,
00:16 nine hours of content already to date this week on this channel and the best two hours
00:21 are coming right here right now from eight to 10 to close out your fine week of content
00:26 here on the Film Guide Network.
00:28 We don't do this every week.
00:30 I think we probably should start to do this every week.
00:32 Moving forward, the rest of these football games are going to be breakdown worthy, Brooks
00:38 spent hours on the film study type of looking at the opponent type of evaluations.
00:44 We've been doing film study over on the Film Guide Network, okay, patreon.com/brooksawson
00:48 this week, looking into Missouri.
00:50 I took another deep dive into them by myself on the walking pad this morning.
00:54 Okay, took a good about 90 minutes, took a stroll down Missouri Lane, if you will, watching
01:00 that offense and watching that defense.
01:02 And I got a couple of keys to the matchup that I want to open tonight's show with.
01:06 So I know you're here, you watched the title, you looked at the title, you said, "Oh, I'm
01:09 fitting to go find out."
01:10 That's right, you ain't got to wait very long.
01:12 We're going to hit you right off the top with it right here tonight.
01:15 Starting with the defensive side of the football, I think you already know this.
01:18 All right, but it's really, really evident if you watch this football team on tape, you
01:22 have got to find number three.
01:24 You have got to find number three and they make it really, really hard to identify and
01:28 locate where Luther Burden is on this offense, down in and down out.
01:33 I've seen him at H-back behind the offensive tackles.
01:35 I've seen him in the slot.
01:37 I've seen him at running back.
01:38 I've seen him bunched and hidden in trips, bunched in twins, bunched in all kinds of
01:42 bunch duos.
01:43 They do a great job, okay?
01:44 I've seen him thrown in motion, okay, down in and down out on a down in to down out basis.
01:49 They're going to make it extremely hard to identify where Luther Burden is and he's the
01:54 key to this offense.
01:55 You're going to have to find him, all right?
01:57 And again, they do a tremendous job of hiding him.
02:00 I haven't studied a football team that does a good enough job or a better job of hiding
02:05 their best player since probably Trelon Burks, okay, at Arkansas under our guy, what?
02:12 - Briles.
02:13 - Under our guy Briles, under our guy Kendall Briles, right?
02:17 They did a great job with Trelon Burks, hiding him all over the field.
02:19 This is a very, very similar game plan here for Luther Burden, all right?
02:23 So the key is to find him, identify where he is.
02:25 It'll help you out with what they're doing.
02:28 Most of their reverse game, most of their, all right, we're going to get it into wide
02:31 receivers hands right quick.
02:33 Most of that's done with Luther.
02:34 So if you keep your eyes on three, it will probably take you to the football more often
02:38 than not.
02:39 And it'll at least protect you from explosives.
02:41 We got to identify him first and foremost as soon as they quote unquote, break the huddle
02:45 or attack the line of scrimmage.
02:46 The other thing I got for you, it's obvious, all right, but it is, it is clear.
02:50 Make them one dimensional.
02:51 This team consistently runs the football, all right, but it's a facade.
02:55 They don't want to, they want to be explosive.
02:57 They want to throw the football, okay.
03:00 They're just doing it to take a bit of their own medicine.
03:02 In my opinion, when I watched them on tape, they want to be fun, tricky, passy, explosive.
03:07 That's what they want to do.
03:08 They run the football and they have established the running game over the last couple of weeks
03:12 as an addition to their passing game.
03:15 It has not been run to pass.
03:16 It is very much so been passed to run.
03:19 All right.
03:20 It is a hard offense to stop in the run game.
03:22 All right.
03:23 In the sense that it's different, it's new.
03:25 You haven't seen a wide zone football team like this this year.
03:28 Okay.
03:29 If you've been watching Georgia play this year, you've been seeing a lot of counter
03:31 from teams.
03:32 You've been seeing a lot of traditional inside zone, split zone duo type stuff.
03:36 Okay.
03:37 Pin pull every once in a while, but you have not seen a team that runs this much wide zone
03:41 like Missouri does this weekend.
03:43 So you have to be prepared for that.
03:44 All right.
03:45 But if you take them away, if you can put them in a box, um, offensively, we talked
03:50 about it last night.
03:51 Kansas state did a really, really good job of limiting them in the run game.
03:54 All right.
03:55 If you can make them one dimensional and you can get them off script and shut them down
03:59 when they're actually taking their medicine and turning them into minus twos, you can
04:02 get them behind the sticks.
04:04 And if that's the only way you're going to be able to get after the quarterback in this
04:07 football game.
04:08 All right.
04:09 If you're in third and fives, I'm here to tell you the ball is going to be out before
04:12 Jalen Walker can get a sack.
04:13 All right.
04:14 If you're in third and fours, the ball is going to be out before Damon Wilson, Michael
04:18 Williams can get a sack.
04:19 This football game of Georgia is going to be disruptive on third and seven plus or third
04:23 down is going to have to be a third and seven plus.
04:26 You're going to have to be able to get after the quarterback on third and long.
04:29 All right.
04:30 Cannot be third and medium, but that's basic football.
04:32 Everyone knows that, but against this football team in particular, they can, they can be
04:37 an explosive passing game.
04:38 One two ball out all day long.
04:40 All right.
04:41 So he gave us a stat this week.
04:42 This football team is getting rid of the ball.
04:44 This quarterback is getting the rid of the ball in 2.62 seconds.
04:47 I believe is what he told us this week.
04:49 So they're getting rid of it.
04:50 All right.
04:51 So if you're going to be able to make him hold it, you're going to have to be able to
04:53 make them have to actually drive down the field to convert sticks.
04:57 Let's flip over to the other side of the football.
04:59 Um, actually let's finish the offense.
05:03 Watch the right tackle today.
05:04 He's a sophomore.
05:05 I, he caught my eye, um, just because of some of the twitchy stuff that he was doing.
05:09 I tweeted out some links today, guys, this football program under drink, they've done
05:14 a really, really good job of recruiting the state of Missouri.
05:17 That's obvious, but St. Louis in particular, it's got really, really great football.
05:20 It's very similar to Birmingham.
05:22 It's very similar to some, uh, Metro, uh, portions of Atlanta.
05:26 Some of these like Metro hotbeds around the country, they produce tremendous, tremendous
05:31 football players.
05:32 St. Louis being one of those, he's done a great job kind of, uh, you know, bordering
05:36 up that, uh, that, that city, if you will, that region, if you will, and getting the
05:40 best talent to stay home, like we talked about a couple of weeks ago.
05:43 So it was why it was so surprising to watch Ryan Wingo go to Texas.
05:47 Um, cause drink has done a tremendous job.
05:49 Even Williams when I went area, I don't know why I struggle so bad with that, but right.
05:53 That's, that's a, that area, that region type of football player.
05:56 Um, it was shocking to see him lose that type of football player, Ryan Wingo.
06:00 Um, but this offensive line has improved from an athletic standpoint.
06:04 All right.
06:05 So they could do a little bit more, uh, in terms of being able to protect against high
06:09 end pass rushers and also be able to actually open up holes, uh, you know, in the run game
06:15 and whatnot.
06:16 Let's flip over on the other side of the football.
06:17 Like I promised, uh, dude, anyone with a pulse, um, has run the football against this football
06:22 team.
06:23 All right.
06:24 Any power five football team with a pulse has been able to produce on the ground.
06:28 A case.
06:29 They had 138 yards on the ground for 5.5 yards per carry.
06:33 MSU had 274 on the ground for almost six and a half yards per carry.
06:39 Um, Kentucky, 181 yards in a blowout.
06:42 I mean, they were, they were down in that football game most of the time for 5.8 yards
06:46 per carry.
06:47 Now they were two and one in those football games.
06:49 Um, you know, but the run game will be there at home Saturday for Georgia.
06:54 So that brings me to my next key.
06:56 If you're running the football successfully, if I believe you're going to be able to run
07:00 the football successfully, I would imagine there's going to be some opportunities for
07:04 you to take some shots down the field on Saturday for Georgia.
07:07 You got to hit them.
07:08 I know it's the last infinity stone.
07:10 If Georgia starts hitting deep shots on this offense, that's it.
07:14 Like y'all are going to be able to score with anybody at like at will, um, the rest of the
07:18 season.
07:19 This is going to be, I believe a good weekend to kind of get loose.
07:22 All right.
07:23 They, they do a lot of mixed fronts.
07:25 All right.
07:26 They, they, they show a lot of different pressures in the box.
07:28 They bring a lot of pressures in the box.
07:30 Um, from what I noticed about studying them on third and long, they're a super simulated
07:35 pressure man blitz team.
07:36 Okay.
07:37 They're going to send at least five on most snaps.
07:39 All right.
07:40 So they are a 17th in the country right now in sacks.
07:44 And majority of that is because of confusion.
07:47 When I watched Missouri on tape over the years, they look like they have so many bodies nearest
07:52 or near the box.
07:53 Um, and it makes it really, really tough for young offensive lines to figure out who's
07:57 coming, figure out who the threat might be, right?
08:00 That's not the case with this Georgia offense.
08:02 All right.
08:03 Everything that I have learned about these two football teams, um, so far and watching
08:08 them on film guys tells me that this is going to be a really, really explosive football
08:13 game.
08:14 I think Georgia puts up a bunch of explosives.
08:16 I think Missouri finds ways to, to win six or seven of these matchups that they're ultimately
08:22 going to design.
08:23 Although I don't think Missouri has enough, uh, consistent play on tape right now to let
08:29 me to believe they're going to come out and win this explosive nature battle.
08:32 I got Georgia in like a, uh, I will say, I'll go ahead and give it to me.
08:36 I haven't done a final prediction yet.
08:38 I haven't done a score prediction.
08:40 I want to dump it out right now based off what I just rattled off.
08:43 I think it's like a 4531 football game.
08:46 I think that's what we got.
08:47 I think, I think it's a lot of points.
08:49 Um, unless there's some type of defensive change, which might lead, uh, us.
08:54 I mean, we can talk about it a little bit tonight.
08:56 I think there's going to be some type of altering, not a total identity change, but I think Georgia
09:01 might have to throw a little mix up here because Luther burden really is special.
09:05 All right.
09:06 And, and I think he's so special that maybe, maybe just maybe you take a guy like Taiki
09:11 Smith who has safety experience and you put them back at safety and you say, Hey, our
09:15 best guy that's going to cover in the slot right now is Malachi Starks.
09:20 Here you go.
09:21 Just deal with this for four quarters and let's see how that happens or deal with it.
09:24 However long you have to deal with it.
09:25 But I think there might be a change up coming, um, or, or, you know, I would develop it into
09:30 the game plan if I were Georgia.
09:31 Cause I do think that, that, that matchup in the slot is something that concerns me.
09:35 Now, granted they've played nobody, nobody defensively.
09:39 Um, and I get that I do, but this is a super confident offense right now with a good coordinator
09:45 who I think will move the ball.
09:46 They'll move the ball Saturday in my opinion.
09:49 So welcome in boys.
09:50 That, that, that's what I got.
09:52 I wanted to say 42 28, but I think that 42 21 or 45 20 or 31 is kind of where I'm settling.
09:58 Um, I think you control it the whole time.
10:00 Don't get me wrong.
10:01 I think you control this football game for four quarters.
10:03 Um, if you're a Georgia fan, don't, don't, don't freak out.
10:06 Um, but I, I do think Missouri is going to be able to score the football on Saturday.
