Great video.

I'm not a professional in video editing but I did grow up in music and have in been in ensembles from small bands to orchestras throughout my teens and twenties. The biggest thing that stands out to me is that you build and build and build to a pinnacle that turns to discussing doubt....which should leap into the stratosphere in terms of video clips or music. So the only thing missing to me is that peak of excitement. Between Bayless, and Cam speaking about the Lombardi could've been huge, but I kind of felt that let down as opposed to a peak. Often in music, as you flow to the high notes, you will crescendo and hit that top note at the loudest point. In emotional music (this is an emotional video), the build starts at the beginning of the piece, and the loudest point is usually halfway to 3/4 of the way through.

Side note: For anyone doubting the teams focus, or Cam's (which should permeate throughout), the end of the video where Cam is speaking says it all.

Appreciate the feedback. I may come back to you for some audio/music tips or questions in the near future

As I said, there isn't much I know about video editing, but to me. To take this video to, what I would consider, a professional level, the pinnacle needs to happen, either close to the end, the end, or the middle of the video depending on the length. 

I think for this video, in spirit of the hype attempting to be generated, more highlights from the Hawks game would've been appropriate. But that's just me. Still much much better than anything I could put together as whole.

I've thought about getting into this but i'm unsure of the software to use or the way to extract music and video from however many hours of game and other footage.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Nice.  Allar is intriguing.  He's a medical red flag.  I'm not sure when he would be available.  However, we aren't moving off Bryce at least until '27, so he'd have time.  I'd be shocked if Young is not our starting QB next year.The OL needs some reinforcement, I agree . Moton's contract is a beast as well as the guards we signed in FA.  Corbett is hurt all the time and BC is nice depth, but a mediocre starter.  Defense is a must.  You hit some critical areas--Edge, LB, CB.  I would like to see another safety as well.

      The tide finally turns... Even Bryce nut huggers at PFF finally admit the obvious.

      I don’t know how people could not see it. I am no draft scout and never claimed to be.  It is a situation where when you look at him, what does he have physically that is better than NFL average? Nothing that I could see.  Not foot speed. Not arm strength.  Then you look at his size and it is well below all but Murray in my memory for the modern NFL era.  Murray has the plus athleticism/quickness and a plus  arm. I still wouldn’t want him because of his size.   But Bryce had none of that to offset his size.  So okay now that I have assessed Bryce I don’t want him. It was a simple checklist. Except I see all this talk that they might take him. So now I decide I need to look at him closer.  Pro day video… I see what I called a skip step. A little extra move on the deep pass. I look at the velocity of his throws, NFL average is being kind. I look at that footwork and it is big time wonky.  So there you are, lower ball velocity in my opinion   That adds time in a league where guys are timed down to the 100th of a second. Not a plus. It is questionable. Then the extra move on the deep balls which is time, in the face of pressure, and space, also in the face of pressure…  it is a stack of negatives and the guy had nothing athletically to offset it. And it is the 1.1 of the NFL draft where there has  never been a successful player with his attributes at his position, in the modern era.  In his case you don’t have to be a super scout. You just had to look and think about him in relationship to the NFL game.    I never watched him in college and think that prevented me from rationalizing things. I had no bias in that regard and I believe others might have.    Combine that with a personal opinion that the SEC is not the NFL and there was no automatic approval  because of the level of competition level he faced….    On that front I feel there are single digit examples of guys who truly could be in the NFL in their final year of college. The freaks. The rest of them… take what they were their fist NFL camp and give the a season in the league and an offseason with the resources and standards of NFL conditioning and strength programs and compare them to a year before… you will see a difference. And they aren’t finished growing either so that plays into it.  It is was a bunch of factors that just equaled do not do this. It gets a lot harder if he had the size to measure up to these normal prospects with the prototypical physiques, and the cannon arm, etc. I never could claim to be good at eyeballing comparisons between two players like that.   Bryce was such a unique situation. Anyway that was the process.   Looking at guys that people compared him to was also informative, since Brees was the big one. And if you honestly look at Brees and his size, people comparing the two like they are 1 to 1, it was smoke. I am always suspicious of smoke blowing, when I find it.  Saying I was not special I just used my brain and eyes and they are not special either. So I had a very hard time understanding what people were thinking.
