GB runs Duo against the Bucs 60 front.The LG shows high hat on first step before engaging the Nose on a BS double, causing the Mike to think pass.Since the SS is rarely in the box,he makes no indicator read,keeps his eyes in the backfield,and gets blocked out by the inserting F.

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

The Vikings dial up a Crunch concept. The Mike reads through the Triangle and sees the guard pull, filling like it’s Trap. The Sam makes an indicator fit read, and believes it’s Wham.Both backers over pursue,allowing the Center and Tackle to cut them off and open a lane for the H

The Bills line up in a Penny front, leaving a single LB with a lot of stress on his triangle read. Josh McDaniels false pulls away from the pitch, getting the LB a step behind and allowing the fast RB to hit the edge.The frontside cut is perfect against a defender holding force.

The sameside handoff causes a PS scrape exchange for Zone Read,allowing the RT to block the Will. BS,Mike sees F insert to force, fits it like Duo w/ his indicator read,washing him out. W/ LBs reading Triangle through Guards or an Indicator fit, pulling the tackle makes them late

The EMOL surfs the LOS, keying, Allen for Bluff read, but the Bills use a same-side handoff to get Cook a step on the lineman.The bunch creates redzone eye candy with the threat of pick routes. The OL sells Zone, pulling backers down, opening the outside with no one scraping over

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

Young executes this PRO extremely well.

Pre-snap/motion he reads CB leverage+man/zone:

CB widens=Settle Seam;CB stays or Safety spins down = Rail if he likes it

If neither is there, read the PS EMOL: crash=Slide;if he peels/contains=handoff

LB folds to Slide=Young keeps it

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

This one was too good not to highlight. Detroit uses the trending Shuffle Motion to create a Double Stack. Williams’ speed clears the near Safety, isolating Gibbs on the Nickel for the Nod

Goff reads the PS Safety: Flat-footed on hash=Nod to Gibbs

Move to MOF = Drift to Brown

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

Tennessee shuffles the H out to create Quads vs Quarters Poach+BS MEG, with the H underneath holding the Apex from gaining depth.

Poach takes the Crosser + Quarters S takes the Corner Post = Dagger opens.

BS CB takes the Crosser + Poach takes Dagger = Corner Post to Flat opens

In 2022 when Brian Fleury (SEA OC) was the TE coach at SF, the Niners used this exact play to score at Seattle. Full Circle Moment!

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

Seattle uses JSN’s backfield motion and a Guard pull to widen the BSB and hold the frontside Backer and Nickel.This opens the middle for Barner on the Release Seam. P.A and false pulls are great ways to manipulate the middle Hook/Curl defender vs Cover 6&8 and has become a trend

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

The Colts motion Warren out for a man/zone check. Once they confirm zone, Jones reads the Mike Push and throws the screen opposite—Lead Swing or Tunnel. Great job using his eyes to widen the Nickel blitzing and create the window to get backside.

Nasty Stuff from Klint Kubiak!

Good pull from @AndrewMerino25!

Shanahan ran this vs. Sean Payton in 2019

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

Love this play design from Wisconsin!

Counter Solid look with a Double Bluff and the TE Wheel 👌

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

The Vikings use a Cup pick on the Center to get home. Commonly with picks, the pick player is the one who gets loose. On the back end, they have the EMOL Bang-to-H/C while rolling to Tampa 2, with the SS matching anything across on the playside. Such a hard play to defend!

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

On a crucial 4th down, the Raiders run a “Glitch” blitz to seal the game. The Bang-to-Rat by the N and T keeps them in the run fit, while the $ blitzes with an alert to Peel. The SS has eyes on the Y and RB crossing, with the green light to add pressure if they both block.

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

With 2-Roll on the backside, the Bills craft up a Wrap Stunt to get Rousseau a clean lane. The Nose and Tackle slant outside, opening a lane for him to loop back inside. The Tackle’s jab-step rush makes the play and is excellent against a Guard who sets laterally.

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

The Browns ran the most Man Rodgers had seen since 18' and it showed why.They run the Mike in the A on a “Mars,” allowing the Tackle and Jack to loop inside.The Bang-to-Rat from the Edge takes away any quick crossers, while the SS uses a cheat technique to help take any crossers.

[Andrew Merino @AndrewMerino25]

Latu submarines the kicking TE, muddying the read for the pulling Guard. The Mike folds over and boxes the puller, while the Will tip-picks the Right Tackle, allowing the 3-Tech to get free and find his way to the back. The backside 4i is able to float over and fit as well.
