It isn't how we are built. You win by doing what you are built to do not trying to outdo the other teams strength. And yes I will be there. How about you?

It's not how we're built but I think our defense will hold their offense to less passing yards than their defense will hold ours to. 

Gonna watch this one with my girlfriend and family since I've been to every other game this season and will be going to the Nashville game next week.

These previews are hilarious....nothing says legit like some dude video taping himself sitting in his basement talking about games.  I just hope Em is good at his day job.

This is his job, that and the website. Guys on the site are authors, coaches, beat reporter for the Ravens ..ext

Thanks Gang! What I always find interesting is that some would rather 'picks' instead of 'analysis' and reason but that's why you don't see shows like NFL Matchup or Playbook have the success. People say they want meat, but not really.  

The good part is that those that do, appreciate and those that don't, don't.  I always tend toward the positive and more people do appreciate which has lead to a bunch of Football Gameplan opportunities like books and color-commentary opps like this: http://footballgameplan.com/tv-network/

I'll also be doing the color for the Georgetown/Fordham game on Nov. 14th and all 6 of the ECAC NCAA D3 FB Championships from Nov 20-22 ( http://www.ecacsports.com/ECACD3FBFEST/PACK_NETWORK_BROADCAST ).

And yes, been working hard at this since 2007. From just a website in '07, to adding videos in '09, to podcasting in '11, to finally getting credentialed to CFB, NFL, CFL, AFL in '12, to having a syndicated college football show on ESPN Montana & CBS Sports Radio Network in '13, to book publishing in 14, to color-commentating college football games in '15...

Which is kinda cool for a guy that's "just filming videos in his basement" :)

He and a few buddies started a website and video him talking about games.  He is not an expert.....

What makes an 'expert'? Playing & Coaching experience? Because...

No disrespect to Emory...he seems to take this seriously.  But, he is nothing but an average dude sitting in front of s video camera in his basement giving his opinion.  Jeremy is probably more of an expert than this guy.

you guys act like he has inside info and expert analysis.  He just doesn't.

anybody can start a website and post themselves on video.

Not that I care, but being completely wrong is being wrong. Three are members of the FWAA or PFWA, one of them is a Beat reporter, all have playing experience, most have college playing experience, and one of them is a former college coach...... so that's pretty knowledgeable group football wise. 

 

Don't have to agree with the prediction or video, but saying the other things is silly.

There are guys on here with playing and coaching experience....I would not call them experts either.

I find Emory's opinions interesting and the guy definitely puts a bunch of effort..I just don't see him as anything more than an avg guy stating his opinion.  To each his own.

Expert is short for Expertise. Which means experience on a certain subject. Never once said I had 'inside info' and I don't think having 'inside info' is a necessity for analyzing and breaking down football games.  That makes you a reporter. I'm not a reporter. I'm a football analyst. Yes anybody can start a website and make a video. That's exactly what we did. The difference is that we all have CFB experience and coaching experience which gives us a different perspective on the 'hows' and 'whys' of the game...which you don't get from a majority of sites. So, I don't know Jeremy or his background, but if he fits that description of having that unique experience, then kudos to him that makes him unique.  

What you're losing sight of is that I'd be willing to put our content and analysis up against any network and feel real good about what we as 'guys in moms basement' are doing.  And a lot of positive feedback is coming not just from fans on message boards, but from Networks as well...which is why we've seen our exposure grow and respect level grow. Which is why we are able to get access to things like college all-22, access to coaches for strategy and gameplans, etc...

Did the average guy have analysis on a Ryan Delaire like this as soon as he was signed by the Panthers? http://footballgameplan.com/fbgps-film-session-with-the-czar-de-ryan-delaire-towson/

No disrespect Emory, but if all that were true you would not be having to come onto message boards and post your videos.  I don't see any of the other successful analysts and draft/analysis sites having to do that.

just a difference in what I call an expert....but, to each his own.  That is just my opinion and each person has their own.

You seem to really want to make a career out of this and I do wish you good luck in that endeavor.

Because you have to 'create the market' first before the 'majors' want you. Unless you have friends and family that can just put you on. My goal was to never 'work' for a major...unless it's in a contract role. I love independence and that's why we are where we are. I've had opportunities to go and work for 2 networks and a NFL Scouting gig but would've had to 1. stop doing football gameplan and 2. trim my analysis to a more 'broader' audience and not get to, as they put it, 'X-y and O-y'. I refuse to dumb down my content and I'll remain independent until the right deal comes along.

Also, what's your definition of an 'expert'?
