Even though the Eagles recovered the fumble and scored later in this drive, we need to recognize just how nice of a rep this was by Clelin Ferrell

He wins the outside rush with some nice handiwork to disengage and makes a well-timed diving effort to strip the ball from Pickett

Somewhat similar concept right here, but Nick Allegretti (#67) trips up as he goes up to the next level so it is far less successful
December 23, 2024 at 10:23 PM
Tomfoolery.

3rd and 7. The Commanders have an empty backfield. Philly, obviously, is expecting a pass.

Draw plays with a pulling guard might sound counterintuitive, but the situation already called for the defense to be over aggressive towards the pass, leading to over pursuit from Philly

Shane Steichen called a Guard H-back fold here

Quenton Nelson seems to work a swim move on the 1 tech, passing him off to the H-back, before going to the linebacker

A unique blocking concept like this + one of the NFL's best O lines + JT carrying the ball = 65 yard TD

This is a fourth and one. Everyone in the stadium knows that the panthers are going to run it. Despite this, The Panthers offensive line is able to completely dominate at the point of attack.

This O line needs a lot more recognition for how well they've been playing

Penix was on point in his first start

He turns his back to the defense but remains poised and progresses through his reads the second he turns back around

He sees that the right third defender gave up his outside leverage and throws a beautiful pass to Mooney, lofting it over the flat defender
December 23, 2024 at 7:44 PM
Against a team like Baltimore, linebackers have no choice but to follow their keys because of how often they pull linemen

Todd Monken is so effective because he knows how to exploit this

On this play, Queen's key is the fullback who takes him away from the play leaving no one to make the tackle

The Chiefs tackles are so bad this is the stuff Andy Reid has them doing
December 23, 2024 at 6:54 AM
Every offensive coordinator who plays against the Chiefs should rule out screen passes on McDuffie's side of the field

Route running masterclass by Nico Collins here

He attacks the corner's leverage with his release then uses handiwork to get enough space to go vertical and then he quickly redirects outward at the top of the route

Hate to see a good double move go to waste
December 20, 2024 at 10:38 PM
In the NFL, nearly every team has a player that is truly electrifying when they get the ball in space

Not all of them get a chance to show it though, and that is because of uncreative play designers

Sean Payton is far from uncreative
December 20, 2024 at 9:55 PM
Estime learning how to navigate traffic like this is VERY scary for the rest of the league

This is an absolute wrecking ball of an individual and he is now starting to develop a little bit of Le'Veon Bell in his game

Drafted to be a short yardage guy, but he may be much more than that
December 20, 2024 at 9:37 PM
When a fullback can force the edge defender to lose contain like Matlock did here on this counter concept, big runs are inevitable
December 20, 2024 at 9:28 PM
In the modern NFL, you can't always expect the safeties to be where they were pre-snap

Pre-snap diagnostics don't get the job done anymore, too many teams rotate the safeties post-snap now

I understand the quick pressure causing discomfort, but its 2nd and ten, work the short game
December 17, 2024 at 9:03 PM
Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson is fighting for his life to avoid taking a sack
December 17, 2024 at 8:32 PM
This is probably the smoothest spin move of the season
December 17, 2024 at 7:34 PM
Denico Autry pushes the pocket with a dominant "long-arm" against Liam Eichenberg

This causes Tua to take a lot more depth, creating an easier rush for Will Anderson who forces the fumble

The Texans don't like to blitz, but their front 4 gets the job done more often than not
December 17, 2024 at 7:28 PM
Lavonte David has been such an effective blitzing linebacker throughout his whole career, watching him split a double team like this almost feels normal

Almost...
December 17, 2024 at 7:17 AM
It is reps like this that remind me that Christain Gonzalez is the best cornerback in the NFL

He is in, fellow generational prospect, Marvin Harrison Jr's left pocket for the entirety of this double move
December 17, 2024 at 6:25 AM
When you have an arm like Lamar's you can just build an entire passing attack outside of the hashes
December 17, 2024 at 5:54 AM
Interesting stunt up front drawn up by Joe Woods with both Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis knifing inside and Bryan Bresee looping over their rush to get the pressure

Impressive work by Daniels, throwing with a different arm angle and getting the ball out quickly on 3rd and 3
December 17, 2024 at 5:48 AM
After the post-snap rotation to a two high shell, the right half defender overplays the post, allowing Daniels to hit a wide-open McLaurin down the sideline, despite pressure from the middle

McLaurin had a great day but this drop was BRUTAL

Joseph missed a FG later this drive
