Nice, love it. I can write volumes, but the frames show it all.
FWIW:
The coverage shell read, from the QB, some would call that kind of set a quarters set, or a middle field open look, which would have the QB looking for an open route in the middle of the field, of which two are built into the play. The shift to the single DB deep in the middle, some would call a middle field closed look, or could be a 1/3's set, or even a half set depending on what's underneath, which would have the QB looking for an open route ouside the hashes toward the sideline, of which we have two possible built into the play call.
This play - is a great example, of offense being built to make use of the natural advantage that offense has - in that unless you're the Patriots - the defense doesn't know the actual play call and where the ball is going to go prior to snap, and if everybody does their job right, the QB just needs to find the open receiver the D gives you.
Nice. I just read something from St. Louis that described Verducci's offense as 'plodding' in nature. Nice word choice. There is nothing wrong with a slow paced offense, if it's being called and executed in the manner in which this single play reflects. It leaves a lot of room for creating havoc for defenses, if you're capable of speeding it up though. I guess we're 200 course level offense this year?
