“A mainstay of charts and graphs twitter” - MGo “Top-notch, safe, family-friendly heckler” - Benetti
Metcalf here tho is more concerning. He’s not in the fit and has to take all of 2 vertical and instead he’s watching the run fake. The play design + pressure means the deep safeties can help cover up the gaffe.

Kind of stuff we’ve seen from the vet safeties all year, unfortunately.

Two weeks in a row UM’s gotten beat badly in their Zeus call playing C2 to the field against a star WR at 1 bc the Nickel doesn’t do their job.

Last week Young’s technique wasn’t mature enough, something he’ll improve on.

Most aggravating non-Jordan Young division is this Creeper where Marshall (young but not Young) gets his assignment wrong.

Can see Iwunnah is on a contain rush path.

Hausmann is also way too occupied with Boston weak, he doesn’t have to match that. Between those 2, the route is prob covered.

This is the most Winkified version. 5-1-5 rush package. The coverage is just quarters but Metcalf drops the wrong way. Prob bc that’s where he’s used to dropping. Clear hole in the coverage to the Trey where he should be.

Could be that Barham is supposed to get there but that’s worse.

I guess people are wondering what’s up with this play. It’s clearly man, watch Ernest follow the back to 1 weak. After that it’s guess what the specific call is. If they’re supposed to be bracketing 2, Rod is lined up right

But maybe it’s 2 man but w 3 safeties? I dk.

Holy shit. On a whim I just watched their first play of the 2024 game.

This is funny for sure, dude gets absolutely rocked. I think he got knocked over 4 times this game?

But yeah maybe not the kind of guy you’d be worried if your Nickel had to take on his block?

There are so many different options here but I think this is my least favorite play so far.

Test yourself! What goes wrong on this play?

And here’s the 0 Double Rat (aka Train in the 2010 Jets playbook)

Conveniently Michigan ran these in back to back plays in ‘22 against PSU bc we were offside on the first 3rd down. Here’s the show 0 drop into Tampa.

Very next play, they’re subbing their DL to STAY in 3-4 and nobody is lined up. Hillman I think is thinking that 2 is under so he’s free to help on 1. Obviously that’s not the case.

Here’s a good example of our guys not being given answers in their calls.

This is 3-4 vs 12 on 1st down after the 3rd and 1 that SC got into 12 for, tho I think they could’ve subbed. It’s a 4-deep 2-under fire zone.
