The confrontation between Billin' and another Seahawks YouTuber turned me off from Billin'. I didn't even like that other dude, lol, I don't remember his name but he was a Brit. living in PNW.
I just turn the sound off and watch the tape. This video in particular was really useful cause my two 7th graders are playing football and one is LG and the other is H back, so showing how Zabel and Bradford were getting their job done was awesome, the fundamentals of getting their head across the block and hands in the right place and the drive to the concession stand!! Then watching how the lanes were opening and the running back followed the blockers. It was a great learning momentTBilln is ok. He has a 'identity' he tries to curate as a media guy that gets in the way of some often insightful reviews. And then he ends up having to defend the character he has built against folks he gets into it with and does so 'in character'.
That aside, I watch his stuff alongside a handful of other armchair analysts and piece together a complete picture between the parts and pieces. He is better than a lot of others and not as good as others.
As to his excitement around this years offense... He was excited about Grubb too...
When you understand that his shtick is about the act of HOW he offers his take as much as it is the take itself, is ta easier to parse through. He gets too distracted by his need to 'color up' every replay with a catchy line. If he just said it straight without all the fluff, he would be easier to 'get'. But then he wouldn't be TOP Billin...
He's a smart football guy but man he's unbearable in the comments.I used to like watching his shit until he went sideways on me with roid rage.![]()
I got some good stuff off his film to show my kidsHe's entertaining and he does understand football, geez people.
