They have been doing it for years. It is always a very technical discussion, half of which I don't understand, but is very interesting.

It is unbelievable how well these players knew their assignments.
yea I've gone back and watched the game several times and it's clear the team is incredibly well coached and has worked hard

Did it last year on OTB. In fact they used that film study to really demonstrate how inept the offense really was last year, missing basic reads etc...

I like their show. You should move to NOLA and listen to the sports talk there. It will give you an appreciation for BR sports talk radio

I watch the film guy on YouTube. He is kind of douchey, but his breakdowns are very good. He had an excellent breakdown of LSU Clemson.

For instance, on the underneath throw to Watkins, Flynn suggests that maybe it is man coverage and that the wide receivers need to hold their blocks until the ball is caught. The other guy pointed out that we definitely knew it was man coverage because we sent the running back out wide and the defender followed him. Leavitt, canned the play and the wide receivers all shifted in inward so that they could hit their mesh routes faster. They were also able to start blocking immediately because Watkins intentionally caught the ball behind the line scrimmage. Therefore, there was no risk of offensive PI.

This just validatd what I kept saying the last few yrs with BK and staff. The OL woes were not personnel. It was piss poor coaching and scheme combined. 3 of 5 starting OL were on team last season. Seaton is a game changer but everybody was cooridinated on pass blocking and run blocking.

I kept telling myself that these guys did not get to this level and not know how to block. Fault to Davis/Sloan/BK for that shitshow of the last few yrs.

They've never done this to my knowledge, but it was great to hear play breakdowns from these guys, along with them having access to more tape than we have. 

Yes, this is a new segment. It's becoming popular throughout the country. Helps fans to understand more about the game. Wish they had hand held devices that they could draw on the screen while explaining.
There's a guy, I think it's "The film guy" that has that. It helps tremendously. His analysis of about 10-12 plays in that game are excellent.
I love listening to Off the Bench. I think this will lead to for fan knowledge and enjoyment.

Good feature on TJ Dottery.
I think it would be better with the film being full-screen. Although something like the angle they're using might be good for guests and roundtable discussions. There are possibly some interesting directions to take it with guests.
I heard Houston Nutt on a show with Peyton Hillis a few weeks ago. It was nostalgic and got me fired up for the season. That would make for some interesting shows to have retired/inactive coaches and players on to look at some old film. That might be more of an offseason or preseason idea if they're going to do reviews of each game during the season.
Cole Cubelic also does film on his show sometimes. He'd be a good guest if he's in the area for a game. Maybe a preview version of the show instead of a review for those types of circumstances.
