Hey Ryan and other linebacking fans. I found an interesting discussion of technique between old greats, Jeremiah Trotter and Seth Joyner. Forward wind to 52:00 th-cam.com/video/QAzUHIGIe1I/w-d-xo.html
First….these guys are both legends and I have the highest respect for them. However, Seth Joyner’s comments are a little short sighted and simplistic. I’m sure he realizes that and is making interesting observations for people discuss as opposed to really being committed to these observations as facts. Trotter is a little more contemporary and obviously has stayed close the the game and (it seems) is being respectful of Joyners observations, even though they’re incomplete. At the risk of upsetting guys I have a ton of respect for, would you be interested in a short video discussing some of the nuances and counterpoints of Joyners “arguments”?
@@HowToLinebacker Yes...that would be terrific! It seemed like Joyner made a big deal over foot placement and staying in your backside gap in case of the cut back.
Right. I have a different perspective on the foot placement and the Edge players responsibility on jet sweep. To be fair, when Joyner played, zone reads and jet sweep reads etc were not a thing so he probably just hasn’t considered all the possibilities. I’ll make a video soon about it. Probably using the ravens or Washington as they do a lot of different types of QB reads
Do the Bills have the best GOALLINE defense?!

@ He even brought RPO/read plays into this discussion, which wasn't common in his era. Will look forward to your input.
Evidently, the Chiefs didn't find it so hard to score on the Bills defense.😄
They sure didn’t! Haha
