Inside the Tape Post/Cross Combo (Drew Brees & Sean Payton)

Anatomy Of A Play, Throwing “Hot” even when it looks covered

We take a look at a play from the Titans game where Gabbert pulls back on his “Hot” read due to not trusting his ability to throw with touch. For all that Gabbert is and is not, throwing with touch is not a refined aspect to his game. We all know about Gabbert’s inherent athleticism, quick release and even sheer arm strength. However, he is not a quarterback who seems to have the innate ability to process intuitively and trust his ability to throw with touch.

Arizona comes out in essentially 12 personnel with Larry Fitzgerald acting as a hybrid WR/Wing. The Titans show a stunt look pre snap but the left side of their Offensive Line should be able to slide left and keep Gabbert clean. Fitzgerald instantly becomes the “Hot” receiver versus pressure due to Man coverage on the (X) WR.

All-22 Snapshot, Sean McVay & Jared Goff

The Rams have always had a great defense but with the addition of Sean McVay as a HC their offense has gone from worst to best in the league. McVay is an excellent play designer and has a knack for timing with his play calling. We take a look at a play from the Texans game where the Rams were inside their own five yard line and McVay took the opportunity to pull the trigger on a beautifully crafted shot play versus quarters coverage out of 20 personel

Note – Notice how (X) WR Sammy Watkins tight split and lazy route impact the Quarters FS as Watkins Lulls the defenders to him while Cooper Kupp & Robert Woods are in the process of executing a quarters beater on the other side of field.

As the Bucs elect to play quarters coverage, Matt Moore sets up against a four man rush. He places his eyes down the MOF to give the illusion that he may be looking that way. Simultaneously, Kenny Stills is using deception to turn the SS Hips

As the play develops, we see Stills who now is running a corner route while the two outside receivers are occupied by their respective defenders as they run underneath routes against man coverage leaving a huge void to the deep outside. Moore displays anticipation and trust as he is already releasing the football
