there is weird sh*t in it, but its also a little unconventional which is why it throws defenses off

After watching a few games, I would play a 3-3 over, with a strong safety just outside the box on the open side. Always rushing 4 and have the CB play zone-spring (initial short zone then change to deeper zone).

The unbalanced line presents unusual problems and requires more LB on the field.

id definitely go all out to stop the run as thats the essence of this system

The big plays happen with a WR in motion who can become an additional blocker on the open side and a run heavy defence is too slow to stop a late back pass to an outside/inside runner.
I will stick with my 3-3 over zone, with a short SS open side. It might be death by 4yards a carry but at least, we might force a fumble or something.

death by a thousand blows is worse, your D will be exhausted sooner and stopping the run when its going off for them is the worst. this system relies on a mobile qb as he will run the ball a lot, these types of qbs arent very good passers generally speaking.

Bowen is on NFL match up Sunday nights on ESPN. That's just a 30min film breakdown show. They have overhauled the show the last few years and its better for it. Now all about breaking down plays and formations.

thats what i used to like about nfl shows, eg meryl hodge, but then they mostly got all click bait shouting and hollering at each other, all entertainment
 
Yeah I stopped watching matchup when it was Hodge and Dilfer. But found out last year they revamped the show.

I miss the days when nfl network had Playbook it became a shell of itself before it got canceled.

i guess there are far better resources out there now that do a deep dive into all the intricacies of schemes, terminology, etc.... like web articles, web series, youtube videos with high school/college coaches etc
 
Yeah I follow a few guys on twitter who do a bunch of play breakdown clips every game. But thats all just based off gamepass coaches film and so is kinda limited in what they can do with tracing routes and can't add spotlights like the shows do

its the terminology that does my head in sometimes, really need to like go to some football college course, have time to learn it all
 
Yeah some can go over the top. But most that I follow tend to keep it simple. But watching film is how I learned more about the game and continue to learn how teams bluff or just scheme ways to break coverages.

Its kinda like this


When you see a play develop before thr QB

i can see the D and O lineup pre snap, or post audible, and know what play its gonna be, whos gonna be targeted, if its a run or pass, which defensive player is gonna blow up the play etc. im cluey like that, but the terminology, play names, etc can take to sink in (especially when youre trying to learn other things in life like music theory, or engineering etc, gotta be like a fulltime football head

The reason offensive linemen talk about the love to run block is because pass blocking is incredibly painful and stressful.

When you’re down or in a pass first scheme it makes life incredibly difficult for the offensive linemen because every play the defenders are attacking different parts of your body to set up their next pass rush move.

They might go for your outside shoulder on one play to set up an inside rip on the other. Or go from speed to power with a bulrush and if you’re in a position where your opponent knows you’re passing, they’ll pin their ears back and keep attacking every down. It’s a brutal beating so when linemen get the chance to be the aggressor with a run first scheme they relish it.

Moreover if you’re pass blocking on any given pass play you don’t know if the QB threw the ball on time or held it to allow his WR to get open, meaning you’re blocking beyond the whistle even if the QB’s released the ball.

This is why you can’t abandon the run and how passing offenses that start off hot in the beginning of the year tend to breakdown as the season goes along. Those reps are essentially body blows and if you’re not helping the linemen by calling run plays they will get hurt.

A lot of people think stacking the box has to do with how much teams respect your QBs and RBs.

The reality is that stacking the box or not stacking the box has to do with what personnel and formations an offense runs.

If you are a team that likes to go heavy, like 22 personnel (2 RBs, 2 TEs), teams will most likely stack the box against that unless for whatever reason they split them all out wide and play empty. And if you are a team that has like 4 WRs out there then there is not much of a reason to stack the box even with a RB in the backfield

Two excellent in-depth articles explaining the Vic Fangio Defensive philosophy, how he beat up McVays Rams with it, how Belichick copied this plan in the Super Bowl versus the Rams, how Brandon Staley learned it from Fangio, and why those defeats opened McVays mind more, humbled him, and why he hired Staley....who is now a Charger anyway
