Watch: Matt Waldman breaks down WR Quintez Cephus game film

Watch as the Rookie Scouting Portfolio’s Matt Waldman breaks down Detroit Lions’ new wide receiver Quintez Cephus game film.

The Rookie Scouting Portfolio’s Matt Waldman is one of the more respected film analysts in the NFL draft community. He routinely breaks down college film and highlights players he believes have special traits that will allow them to make an impact in the league.

In this video, Waldman breaks down Detroit Lions’ fifth-round pick Quintez Cephus’ game film and shares his thoughts on how the young wide receiver can be successful at the next level.

“Regardless of how quick, fast, and strong Cephus might be, the threads of his game vital to receiver play offer a glimpse into his promise as future NFL contributor,” Waldman said of Cephus. “Whether it’s his hand usage at the break-point, his skill to track difficult targets with his back to the ball, or his willingness to mix it up, the underlying theme of Cephus’s game is an unabashed approach to hitting and being hit.”

Waldman suggests that Cephus has the potential to have a career resembling Joe Horn or Roddy White, two well-respected possession receivers who had long NFL careers.

Check out the video below for Waldman’s breakdown of Cephus’ game:

Seahawks OC Brian Schottenheimer catching up on game film

Stuck at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is using the time catching up on game film.

Most of America is stuck in their homes right now due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that isn’t stopping Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer from getting work done ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

Schottenheimer was a guest on KJR’s Chuck and Buck Show recently and gave a glimpse into the life of a professional football coach who is not able to work at the facility.

“The days are stacked with a lot of game film for sure,” Schottenheimer said. “We’ve been having some really productive meetings—it’s amazing this Zoom technology that we’re able to get on. We meet almost every day during the course of the week. We’re working through cut-ups, watching the run game, the pass protection, the pass concepts. Yesterday we had a great red-zone segment that we worked through looking at all our red zone stuff, where we need to improve, where we can get better, just tying things together.”

But Schottenheimer’s only focus isn’t on football during these difficult days, he finds time to spend with his family as well.

“But in the evening time with the kids, there’s been a little bit of binge watching TV, trying to find the next thing to watch,” Schottenheimer admitted. “That’s one of those things I didn’t think I’d be doing this time of year, but it’s fun to sit down and watch this stuff with your family from time to time.”

Schottenheimer and the rest of the Seahawks staff will be busy over the next few weeks, however, as the team ramps up for the 2020 NFL Draft, which will take place virtually April 23-25 as originally scheduled.
