Kellen Moore Ready for 'Dogs Defense?

   Bet Todd Grantham is breaking down some Boise State video right now. He's studying QB Kellen Moore, trying to uncover some info that will help the 'Dogs defense slow him down. Just got through watching some video of Kellen playing the game myself.  
   Later this year, you'll hear about scouts questioning Kellen Moore's ability to play QB in the NFL, because of his stature and arm strength. He enters his final season at Boise State with a 3rd or 4th round tag. More on that in a moment.
   Here is my scouting report: Kellen Moore has excellent recognition and anticipation skills. His accuracy and touch on the ball is outstanding. Can zing it into tight spots on the intermediate routes. Tremendous using play-action fake. Elusive in the pocket and effective throwing on the run. Impressive coming off primary target and checking down to secondary receivers. A master operating in the pocket. Cool, calm and collected. 
   Boise State's offense does a nice job of changing up personnel groups. They spread the field with 4-5 receivers, get Kellen in the 'gun and let him spread the ball around. They line up in the I-formation and play-action out of it. He'll get it to the RB in the passing game. And on 3rd down, the Bronco receivers always seem to get to the 1st down marker. That frustrates defenses.
   Kellen is listed at 6', 190 pounds. That's undersized according to pro standards. His arm strength is also questioned by NFL personnel guys. You will hear comparisons to Mark Brunell and Drew Brees. 
   I would imagine Grantham's plan will not be to outsmart Kellen Moore. That's not going to happen. The diversity of this attack has the typical defense checking in and out of different coverages and responsibilities. Bet Grantham simplifies the plan and will try to turn his guys loose. The only way to slow Moore down is to get in his face.
