Ian Book 2021 (QB New Orleans)

Dual threat QB from Notre Dame, similar profile to Taysom Hill.

Rush up the seam on a designed play. Importantly, he doesn't try to crash through the defense, but takes a calculated slide after the first down. I like it.

All receivers are closely covered and he takes it outside for a net loss. The play to watch here is the Louisville Mike linebacker who sees the play develop and knows early on what's going to happen (Monty Montgomery, on the watch list for 2022).

Another good rush (Book had more rushes than pass completions on the game) but he could also have thrown it to RB #23 Kyren Williams (Sophomore).

This obviously is what New Orleans must have in mind. He can threaten the pass, but has good running skills, and (eventually) gets the TD on athleticism.

Solid pass to Skowronek (#11).

Another thing the Saints must like: look at the block he sets ahead of the RB. Smart kid.

From the game Notre Dame - North Carolina:

Book has time but doesn't find a target, doesn't see the hole that seemed to open (or maybe it wasn't there), dances and gets sacked.
