Inside the Film Room @Alabama w/Jarran Reed

This is a nice, long article with 14 short film clips on the Alabama DLine, and Jarran Reed's play. I get the impression that this kid is really football smart, and will likely be in the Pro-Bowl in 2018, if not this year.

Next play.

We as defensive linemen “are taught to read the formation,” Reed says. “Our main thing is tight ends and the depth of the running back and the quarterback.

See like right here, we’ll look at the depth of the tight end back there. See the tight end, he’s stacked away from the tackle.

This is [more of a] pass situation, but we know they’re a heavy run team from film. So, from that point on, we already know it’s a run because the quarterback is under center. We already know what he’s about to do.”

He's the kind of guy that will be forgot about like a Mebane but from day one he's been a real good football player and very important piece to our defense.
