Alright, we’re on to our second film breakdown, this time with Derrick Clark. Scroll down if you want to see Kane Bradford’s film breakdown.
Link is below to follow along http://www.hudl.com/video/3/7467937/5ba5be2fdfd8c5099cb0c5dc 0:04 - Quarterback does not do a good job of disguising a zone read, Clark reads the run and shoots to the edge. Once he hits the line of scrimmage he squares up and goes for the hit stick. I’d prefer a clean wrap up as that’s been a problem but with Arizona but can’t blame a high high school kid for wanting the highlight tape 0:13 - Looks like they’re trying to send a fake blitz, maybe trying to get the QB to panic a little, but I like this play because he gets lateral and then closes the inside off knowing another defender has the outside closed too. 0:21 - Comes in over the tackle, gets a good push, gets his eyes into the backfield and beats the tackle with the hesitation to blindside the quarterback after feeling the pressure. Nice pursuit there. 0:31 - Here we see him drop into coverage, feels where the QB’s eyes are going, quarterback stops creeping up and we see some speed to close in at the line of scrimmage. 0:43 - Drops into coverage again, gets to the ball after three teammates collide and can’t come down with a pick. Clark grabs the deflection and takes a return. 1:00 - This is a good play where he immediately recognizes what’s happening and flies to the screen on his side. Especially at the high school level where kids are greedy to have a clear shot at the quarterback, he knew exactly where the play was going after he went untouched off the edge. 1:10 - Reads the handoff, finds the gap and fills it. Pretty textbook play. 1:20 - This poor right tackle gets beat again. Pocket collapses from all sides and Clark comes from behind for the tackle. 1:33 - Nothing crazy here. Just following the flow of the play which is Clark is very good at. 1:41 - The Red Sea literally parts for him to have a clean shot. Forced the QB to hand it off as the end also had a clear shot too. Clark moves in on the tackle. 2:30 - I skip here because there wasn’t too much in between. I really like this play. Just sums up what you’re getting with Clark. Smart and gets to the ball. Clark might be undersized, I’ll guess he’s at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, so he’ll need his skills to really make up for that. Smart, productive player in high school that I’m interested to see develop.
