Peggy be a asking the right question tho Cam get's annoyed like we supposed to know this..😆😆 thanks for the knowledge Killa Cam"
The curse of knowledge is real
I think it’s just his passion… when I speak of something I love and did at a high level I get the same way,
REAL TALK SHAWTY
@@UriyahMcCrayyou ain’t done nothing at all high level 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mburdsometimes a cow flies because the chicken crossed the road
Peggy asks great follow-up questions. He and Cam are an incredible duo.
I was thinking the same. Peggy asks the questions that the normal fan wants to know answers to.
@10akee Peggy knows he has to get Cam to break down his comments. Cam, like most professionals, speaks in professional terminology. He is a professor. Peggy turns him into a textbook
Whats his name? Lol
BIG FACTS
Cam giving off “if Johnny had 2 apples….?”😂😂😂
LMAO😭
"and he gave one DAMN apple away...."
I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭
Listening to Cam breakdown ball is like poetry. We miss you big dawg
Yet he damn near ALWAYS threw the late pick to lose the game. Either physically you didn't have it, or mentally it wasn't there. Pick one, but dont act like he's elite. For all intents and purposes he could not get it done. Cam was my QB for years but let's be honest here, there's levels to this stuff.
@@chaseezell5929Would you rather have Joe Burrow or prime Cam?
@@BK-xd7gq Honestly, Prime Cam wouldn't go after the fumble, so I'd pick Joe.
@ that’s all true. Even if he wasn’t that guy he still has a great football IQ and hearing those guys breakdown football is always dope. I’m a bigger college ball fan and Cam is a legend in that arena.
I’m good
Need MORE content like this, Cam! These breakdowns for us mortals are excellent
Yeah, this is awesome because the NFL QB is reading everything from the secondary to the LBs to the DEs to the DL& blocking assignments on OL. You got to figure this out before you snap the ball. So you got roughly 10 seconds to check all this adjustments. A QB needs the off season and training camp to learn a brand new offense, if you got a good play caller of a coach
I don't even watch football and I'm fascinated by the way Cam explains things
I guess the black QBs are really super highly intelligent players. Funny how that goes and none of us can do what they do.
@thedangerruss5879 That goes for black coaches too
@@Coolmike19Don’t tell Aaron Rodgers this.. he might go on another retreat during camp
No cap, Cam be helping me murk dudes in Madden. I used to be so trash, but now even if I’m down I know what look for.
Cap
@@goldenchild3265no Cap lol. Cam Newton and Kurt Benkurt really put football 101 back into Madden. John himself would be proud.
@@deongedeonhow did they put it back in the game? Watch actual football and learn yourself
@@stephbetter3806bc most players don’t play football when playing Madden, They Are playing Madden, Its a difference. Game Is based around Cheese End What You Can and cant get away with. These 2 Actually put Some of the Skill of actual football back into Madden
madden is fake, what nfl team will fake punt from their own 2 yard line and need 20 yards to get a first down.. lol only in madden, its unpredictable and sometimes too predictable when someone runs the same play over and over, cams iq in football is great for coaching not a video game
This is the cam we didn't get in the media. Much respect is gained.
More of this. Football 101 could be its own podcast.
Love when yall/ u break it down like that. Some times ppl forget it’s a job to yall but to us it’s entertainment. More content like this cam. KEEP POUNDING
Pause
@ lol
I freaking love this channel - never played football except in my Aunt's backyard 10 zillion years ago. Our play calling - "Mike, run towards the tree; Carol Go out to your right".... That's as complicated as we could make it. 😂😂🤣🤣
Back when they would draw the route on the ball 😂
You were supposed to run a dig carol, come on!! 😂😂😂😂😂
This episode needs to be broadcasted on every single pregame show so people and reporters can have a better appreciation for the position.
And they can shut the hell up with their criticism because most of them never played the game
Love how you explaned the adjusments at the snap of ball when play is live! Literally at qb you have your pre read snaps at 3 levels,(oline/dline,linebacker,secondary). Then at snap because defenses now show 1 and go another at snap, ALL 3 LEVELS, or at least 2 change! So now both the wr and the qb both have to have made the same change mentally live and make a play with a defense thats changed! A coachs job now in my eyes is to get all 11 guys thinking on one accord pre snap and live at the same speed!! 😮
Everything Cam explained is why those that think Brock Purdy is a "game manager" in a negative sense have to give him credit. It's not about physical talent ... you have to know what you're doing. If it was about physical talent then Jamarcus Russell would be the greatest football player ever to play the game.
Lmao
What? Lmao
well in SF they don’t let the qb do everything for example they don’t let them change pass protections
Horrible 😂anyone but Bust Russ😢
This was a horrible comment …I hate the internet 🤦🏽♂️
Every show should be like this
Real talk!
yes, the NFL is really that fast.
This let's u know how great flamboyant and polarizing Cam was when u have retired nfl players on espn an fox sports one network saying that Cam can get the patriots to playoffs in his first year and they all knowing that Cam got to the patriots in a short span period with the organization and Cam not knowing the patriots playbook in the beginning when he got with the team but by Cam being a past MVP player and also playing in the Superbowl held a lot of weight in those retired nfl players who was commentators at da time pick the patriots to win there division go deep in the playoffs and also could even make it to the Superbowl because of one man name Cam
I’ve grown to really like this show. Cam and Peggy are a great duo. I also love how Cam talks about / teaches the game of football to the viewers.
QB is the coach's mindset on the field. This is why you can never argue with their pay, good stuff Cam.
More of this, please! Cam needs a session like this on ESPN. No shade to Dan Orlowski, but he ain't Cam Newton. I want to hear and see Cam talking quarterback play.
Cam and Dan might be a hit tho
Cam is trippin...Curls and hooks are great against Cover 2...
@@analyticalinsight I think I’ll roll with Cam on this one. I’m not saying you're wrong because I don’t know. Maybe there's some nuance because he’s talking about the NFL. I don't know-but, I’m going to take the opinion of the MVP NFL quarterback every time. Now if you balled out in the NFL, I’m all ears. Otherwise, I’m out on any opinions that aren't coming from someone who matches that man's resume.
@tramayneyoung297 I've called in high school, semi pro and coached and tutored...Hooks and Curls work from the slot very well against Cover 2....Right in between the 2 linebackers down the middle.....WR has to see the sight adjustment like the QB.....crossing routes don't work, 9 routes work and corner routes can work but the wr has to take more of the 45°.....
@tramayneyoung297 Not sure if Cam was the greatest at reading coverages from the pocket....great runner, scrambler throws on broken down plays, and was good at certain concepts but not that nuanced....When his athletic ability fell off, he fell off a lot
And that’s why QB is the hardest position
Qb the hardest postion mental wise
But
Corner back the hardest position
Playing wise
It's just so much. As a former lineman, I know about identifying the Mike, adjusting our blocking assignment, identifying the blitz, etc. But the quarterback is looking at that with about 10 more things all at the same time
@@OmgLeekreacts🎯
i love these breakdowns; they let us fans see the game from the perspective of a QB. it's really interesting
Years ago, I clicked on a video called "LSU Zone Clinic" & it scratched my itch for wanting to how coaches handle "adjustments" & assignments for each player...football is a beautiful game, truly.
9:27 I love the shot out to Coach JB! 😂😂😂
This seems to really highlight the importance of training camps not just being there for conditioning and getting in shape... this. gives some insight on what it really means to "get on the same page", and what communication really means and how long this takes. Just knowing principles isn't enough but this helps understand why guys really talk about getting in the reps even if they have been doing it for awhile. I hope there is more of this coming from Cam.
Cam reminds me of Shannon before espn/ nightcap, cam is a great dude
He’s too real for mainstream media. He str8 outta ATL 🫡✊🏾
shannon is a joke lol
💯 QBs and WRs need to know all of this. That’s all the difference between career/season ending injuries or successful plays.
Peggy = the fans. Some of us was asking those questions at home lol
it feels like Cam is annoyed answering the extremely relevant, great follow-up questions from Peggy, like "how you dont know this stuff" - but i don't think he actually is. i think he's so fired up talking ball that he sounds pissed off when he actually just really interested.
Cam, This podcast is the very top of the Line!!
ESPN needs to give u more days per week & an upgraded Contract & pay u more for more Days!
I am so glad u finally got a tv Contract, even if it’s only 1 day.
I can’t wait for your shows! 🙏💕❤️💕👍🔥
Sundays is just the end result of lots of practice and reps through the week.
Dope breakdown of what it takes to be in the NFL mentally 🙌🏽
I hated how Cam got the raw deal in NE. Him not knowing the playbook was so logical, being that he had just got there. Wish he would've had more time to watch him succeed.
Damn! The game of football ain’t as easy as I thought it was. Thanks for the knowledge Cam
The middle linebacker is designated "Mike" (or "Mac") and two outside linebackers are designated "Sam" and "Will" according to how they line up against the offensive formation. If there is a strong call, the linebacker on the strongside is called "Sam", while the linebacker on the weakside is called "Will"
“Where’s the Mike?”
@ 😂😂😂
Everything you saying was explained to me in highschool. The QB and the receiver has to be on the same page. If talked about it in practice if you see a certain defensive you know to go to a certain route
Love this bro. As a former qb it is fun to talk ball and educate others that this stuff ain’t just lineup and play
8:20 I remember when my coach said that if the defense had an extra guy on the line, the O-line would call it out by saying "Texas" so that we can pick it up and not screw the play up. Some coaches urge you to call out the alignment of the opposite side in order to change the play or adjust.
Speaking truth Cam, just ask Geno Smith, is DK Metcalf running the routes he is supposed to run. Sometimes not. Interception makes Geno look like a fool when it is really DK not having route discipline.
Cam got me wanting to put on some pads SO BAD 😂 About to make my son run some routes in the backyard 🏈😂🔥
I'm listening to this and thinking of Caleb Williams. People hate on him but have no idea what he's going through. Still broke the Bears passing record.
He's a bust get over it
Cam and Peggy are doing great!
This gives such a great introspect into the New England and second time Carolina years with Cam. I would have loved to see Cam get a full offseason with New England and what could have been.
Love the breakdown. The content is elite. Wealth of wisdom Cam!
This is one of the BEST videos on UA-cam!
Great clip. I never knew this level of detail about the Mike from the offensive side of the ball. This is a case study for the value of practice and film study as a unit, to be on the same page and prepared to respond to adjustments. If guys miss mini-camps, OTAs, and preseason, they are behind the 8 ball. This also explains why to be a great Defensive Coordinator, you need to know offensive tactics.
Shoutout to Cam for this. First thing you do out the huddle is find that safety. Also I can’t remember which year, but there was a game mode called Longshot in one of those Maddens and they teach you how to understand a play from the QB perspective. Pretty dope
On a side note : adjusting my playbooks, Rosters/personnel on Madden while listening to Cam & Peggy in the background , 🔥
I need an 8 part Netflix series narrated by Cam on why he didn’t jump on that fumble.
As a football fan who's never played anything beyond flag football, i find all of this extremely fascinating. Subbed!
To add to Cam's great insight, the player the offense designates as the Mike on that play is the reference point so the linemen know who they should block. This is esp important in half slide protections where part of the OL blocks in one direction and the other part in the opposite direction. Typically the strong side blocks man while weak side blocks by zone rules
Cam be spitting
Its amazing how many people never played football that dont know these simple technical aspects of the game. Keep it up Cam coach the people up.
I am Loving This Show man. Play ya games homie!
Cam and Peggy can ya'll please get this message out to the world that Jason Whitlock owes coach prime and the buffs a visit to the Alamo bowl because he promised that if the buffaloes made to a bowl game he would be there with his family in full colorado buffaloes gear!!!!!!!!!!
People been on him about it. I think he will show up. Keep spamming his youtube channel and Twitter to remind him
PROFESSIONAL QB
Thank you Cam! My son and I needed this
I knew the receivers had to read the defense but I didn't know the entire route changed based on what they see AFTER the snap. I thought it was maybe the depth of the route that changed. Makes a lot of sense when receivers and QBs are not on the same page. The receiver read one thing and the QB read something else. Great video!
Great segment fellas keep it up
Some chick at work today was talking about how she hates her boyfriend watching football all the time. I referenced the video on this channel talking about Cam's cadence, and how something as small as the hand movement by one guy could be the difference in whether or not the play works, and that there are multiple chess games happening at different levels on the field. Cam, your content is so critical for people that don't understand football, or know the rules of football but not what goes into being a professional.
As someone who loves watching football, but doesn’t fully understand the inner workings of a play, this was great to watch
Cam, we need more of this good brother!
I miss the pre-snap era
I don't see it like i use too
This is why I dislike fans hating on Cams accomplishments. These people have no idea how difficult it is to play QB at the NfL level. The QB has to process so much information in mere seconds. Cam’s NFL career is Hall of Fame worthy. Combine that with his college career and you’ll understand that he’s a generational talent.
A few years ago a person on social media made a comment about a NFL football player that the player was stupid and needed to go flip hamburgers because that's about all the player could do other than play football. I called the person a racist because she obviously did not know about all of the learning that is required to play college and NFL games. Cam's explanations just describe SOME of the stuff that players have to know to compete successfully in the games.
Really enjoying this new content gents!
A certain person on ESPN said Cam is crazy and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sounds like bro knows his stuff to me. Gotta know your stuff to win MVP. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I love the way Cam broke everything down and I love the questions Peggy asked
Do they have a award for co host of the year !?! Peggy got it! 💯🚨🕶️🏆
This is the breakdown most fans need to see in my opinion.
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN CAM AND PEGGY!!! PPLEASE!!!!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Excellent break down on football 101. Too many knowledge from one the best QB this game. Thank you guys
BROKEN DOWN!!!
This the type of dialogue I like, break the game down for us!
This is great football info. keep it up!!!
Cam should get credit for his football IQ, not that he doesn't but it seems like not enough because the more I watch him talk about reading defenses, it's obviously he studied and prepared, on top of being great as an athlete and teammate anyways.
This video was very informative.
6:34 😂😂😂 I felt that
We need more cam, that was good
Bruh Cam really giving us crazy insight on how shit really is in the NFL. I remember wanting to be in the league 😂 they got that
Learned a lot!
Thanks for breaking in down for the slower members of your audience,me included. Great job.
Its crazy cus if you play madden you know exactly what Cam talking about 😂😂
I have no idea why Cam isn't in the NFL anymore. Too much knowledge and physical talent to be out of football.
More of this!! SUPERMAN BREAKS DOWN COMPLICATED QUARTERBACK TERMINOLOGY.... AND CAM TAKES US THE BEHIND THE SCENES AT NEW ENGLAND
“Oh you been watching film huh?
That’s cool, watch this”
This a a great video, especially for the average fan to see the ins/outs
Cam a real one for that drinking & driving PSA.
Would love to hear your take on Caleb’s season given all the coach firings in a rookie year
Peggy is a great co-host.. he knows how to set up the questions for cam to atk he is very intelligent
Peggy said “man hell nah” 😂😂😂
More segments like this please.
i need someone to take the time to put all these football 101s in a playlist
8:06 aye this so tough to watch as a college athlete what cam is calling the mike we say that’s the point man
Btw I’m not a qb I’m a receiver but I take pride in knowing that
Anybody paying attention like is going to be a pop quiz at the end lol
This was great!
It's amazing to think how much Peyton Manning knew after hearing this
I think the word answer is a better fit than adjustment in the terms of which he’s using. Example being if a WR runs a curl and the corner is there in the flats with him, the defense might be in cover 2. So the offensive play has a built in (answer) for that in the sense of a route combination/ concept. It’s up to the QB to process what’s happening and get to the right answer or make the right decision as they say in the sport. A audible is exactly what cam says which is going to a completely different play.
Love the honesty cam, ppl need to hear that perspective
Yeah man! Teach!
this was incredible
