I think he did a good job with his Clausen breakdown, except he refered to the offense as WCO as far as i know Weis comes from the Parcells tree and most of those guys run the Erdhart-Perkins.

The one thing I notice about McCoy (and clips of Bradford also) is that they are often throwing to wide open receivers, that won't happen at the next level near as often

Yeah, Bradford and McCoy were playing 'pitch and catch' on most of their throws. (Which makes me wonder about Golden Tate for such a highly touted WR he doesn't seem to get that much seperation especially compared to a dude like Shipley.)

*I wish they were all throwing at the combine it would answer so many question to see them throw in the same settings. But, i think McCoy is gonna throw.

Good stuff on the breakdown, I had to mute the speaker while watching the clip....the background music was killing me. LOL

Yeah, that music was weird classical-rock mix horrible...
I should have marked the passes i thought were a good indication of 'NFL' ability: 6 (2:01), 7 (2:18), 8 (2:25), 9 (3:25), 11 (4:35), 13 (5:14), 15 (6:37)

This is for the "weak QB class people." Per John Clayton:

Overall, it's an interesting class of quarterbacks. As many as nine could go in the first four rounds. Jevan Snead of Mississippi could use a good throwing performance to change perceptions that he made a mistake by turning pro too early. Accuracy was a problem in his final season in college.
