Imagine seeing the Ravens doing all that as a rookie. Brutal. Really informative breakdown!

That pre-snap disguise used by the Ravens is wild, considering the eventual defense that they wind up in. A player lined up on the ball becoming the post safety? Wow.

I learn a lot from watching your content! Also, what website/tool are you using to see NFL and college teams blitz rates?

At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgFECnsRvrw&t=60">1:00</a>, that’s such a cool play to break down, it got me thinking about a lot. (I’m going to watch that game later today).<br><br>What I’m thinking about vs trips alignment-<br>QB’s (most of the time) will either throw hot to the trips or throw it quick to the solo WR. What Cat&Mouse play calls take both of those throws away (Fire Zone, Sim pressure) while at the same time making it look like the same traditional strong side fire blitz.

Could you also run that Seahawks blitz as a 4 man, also dropping the cop DE? Particularly against a guy like Stafford who’s not the biggest threat to extend the play with athleticism outside the pocket. Being able to send 4 and get a free blitzer against 6 man protection could create some interesting advantages Just wondering, great vid 🙌🏾

if a wr that is on ball isolated were to pull, would that trigger the safety (post) to now fit due to the numbers or would the corner have to fit and essentially scrape over how would that work?<br> thank for any reposes in advance

Hey Cody, when numbering receivers post snap, what’s it mean when guys say <br>“2 became the new 3” or “1 became the new 3” and <br>Is that a post snap numbering system for receivers based off routes ? <br><br>And I’m you got videos on this can you point me to them
