Ben Johnson and Josh McDaniels could not treat 2nd downs more differently.
2nd and 1-2:
Ben is the *pass* heaviest coach this century, likely in league history. Treats it as a 50/50 situation.
McDaniels is 88% run here.
2nd and 7-10:
Johnson is the *run* heaviest in the league. 53% run this year and hovering around 50 percent for his career. Again treats it as a 50/50 coin flip.
McDaniels is 79% pass.
Two totally opposite approaches.
How do defenses determine how many men to put in the box? How much of it is about the opponent run game vs the opponent's RBs?
"More people doesn't equal better run defense."
Really interesting answer from Mike Macdonald
DC Nick Rallisのdisguiseがハマったプレー。
この特徴的なセットを見てもStaffordがプレーを変えてないので、おそらくmanと予想していたはず。パスコンセント的にもmanにはセパレートできそう。ただ、実際はCover 3。
欲を言えばFSが下側の#2 をmanするセットだとCover 0をさらに装うことができる。
This is sick: #Ravens OC Declan Doyle lined up TE Josh Cuevas at LG, then released him into a route for a 29-yard gain.
Because Cuevas was off the line of scrimmage, he was eligible to go downfield.
This is brilliant.
