Shawn Conway Video from Friday Night [Updated]
I've finally given up fighting with youtube, and realized that the only way I'm going to get Conway's video from Friday night up is by uploading it in poor quality, sans HD. You can find it here:

UPDATE!: I think I've won the HD battle, finally. The video in full quality should be available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBoKQjzmo4
And I'll also link it in next week's Friday Night lights post for those who don't find it from this thread. For future weeks, I'm scrambling to find a way to get Youtube working with our replacement HD equipment, so please try to bear with me.

Thanks Tim. I am no expert, but his QB seems to be not so great. I thought some of his throws were punts at first. Also, looked like ASU Sun Devils really roughed them up.
October 20th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
My thoughts exactly on both counts. Also, I like that he isn't afraid to play physical... and he looked good on Special Teams (Really the only times you see him attempting to evade defenders with the ball.) Looks like a steal to me.

He looked pretty good. He has some moves, but I wonder how fast he really is. The body type reminded me of Dez Bryant, maybe it was just the number.

As Tim mentions below, I think his ankle was tweaked... but he still looks pretty fast... almost seems to glide rather than being quick.

played a lot press bracket coverage. Whenever Conway comes on a drag route, Ferndale LBs has to re-route Conway in order to give a CB a chance. There were a few plays where Conway was open but the QB either didn't see him or overthrew him by a mile.

As my Friday Night Lights posts have said over the course of the year, Seaholm's QB situation was very sketchy this year (and they've even had this guys backup in at times - I assure you, he's no better). If he has a legit slinger getting him the ball, Shawn could have put up insane stats this season.
An ankle injury a few games back has hampered him as well. I didn't put in any shots of it, but he was often limping in between plays.

I have some inside word that Shawn Conway is going to have a tough time qualifying. On a more positive note it seems that Michigan is in a good spot for a big Junior OL out of Seaholm Daniel Gibbs. Here is some home cooking fluff on Dan:

Conway playing corner brought back nightmare visions of David Terrell lining up to cover Plaxico Burress in the 1999 MSU game

UPDATE: I think a full-quality video is now live on Youtube. I think I've won this battle. See original post for the link.

I played against Ferndale in high school and they do not typically field good football teams. That QB is pretty terrible.

This is the first film I have seen on Conway. It seems to me like he runs lazy routs (0:50), gives up too early on plays (0:55), does not have great hands (1:18), blocks like a pansy (1:22), is afraid to take a hit over the middle (1:30) and lacks elite speed (2:12).

So you like him.

on Conway played with and against some poor quality teams. But his ball skills are amazing, you have to teach some kids in college to catch with their hands this guy does it really well at t young age. Not a burner route running is mediocre but he'll come down with ball in a battle with most DBs.
