Correct. It was a total defensive collapse.

Oof that’s a bad breakdown. They 100% were not slanting the front.

Oliver is a tilted 1 tech and is responsible for the weakside A gap. He CAN NOT under any circumstances "stack" and allow himself to get reached. He wasn't the only one on the line that this happened to by the way. See my previous post breaking down all the failures.

What technique? He got reached.

This is what the fits should have looked like.

If he stays in the Middle then he gets reached by the guard who climbs to the second level untouched and we're not gapped out. We were in Base not Nickel.

Bad fits all around. Wallace can't get widened he needs to replace straight downhill when he see's the crack by the WR. Epenesa can't run himself upfield and instead fight pressure with pressure so he doesn't get washed. Oliver, Phillips, and Rousseau all get reached which allows the guards to work directly up to Termaine and Milano untouched. Dotson needs to work more downhill with his attack steps and meet the FB at the LoS tight off of the WRs butt and actually leverage him. Tremaine and Milano can't get kicked when defeating their blocks (that cut back right into where Milano should be. Ultimately it comes down to Hyde over-running the play though. He's the last line of defense in single high coverages. A perfect storm of nearly everyone not executing their responsibility.

You guys are wild. Defenses have personnel packages - not formations. The offense dictates how you align regardless of the personnel you have on the field so it ultimately would put a lesser athlete in space the majority of the time. Leave the coaching to the coaches fellas.

High Schools and Colleges have been running this for years - it's funny to me that this is being played off in the NFL as something "new" and "innovative".

He's a great gap scheme guard. We are a zone run team. Need guys who can move, work up to a second level, and block in the open field.

Was referring more to our guard spots.

Size is nice, but athleticism on the interior of our OL (or lack there of) is what cost us a trip to the Superbowl. An investment into some dominant edge rushers is much needed as well.

Dude was 100% on his fits in those three clips.

Also the reason why the pass rush wasn't there. Buffalo usually allows their DL to penetrate on any given down. There was a more concerted effort, from what i saw, to keep those guys home this week in order to prevent gaps from widening. I think it came at a cost though.

Does it matter if none of those years were spent calling plays? There's nothing out there that simulates calling a game, therefore you need game experience to become accustomed to it and to hone in on what works and what doesn't in different situations. Like anything, becoming better at your craft takes time and experience. As far as the scheme being the issue - people need to realize this is the same scheme Atlanta had last year that set scoring records. The scheme is not the issue.

The scheme is not the issue. Play calling could have been better at times, but that's how you learn. People need to keep in mind this was Dennison's first year calling an offense. It should improve with experience. The OL and a ultra-conservative QB were the issues with this offense.

No one here seems to understand how RPO's work...

You do realize stretch is a zone blocking run concept, correct?

Put down the bottle buddy... it'll all be okay.

If he's playing Sam it won't be anywhere close to that. It's not. Mario Addision (who he referred to in his post) played as a hand in the dirt DE all year long.

My problem with Mahomes, and many other college QBs coming out, is they come from a "Check with Me" offense. In most instances it takes the responsibility of reading the defense out of the QBs hand. It's why it's so hard for a lot of these QBs coming into the NFL now to be successful - they've simply never been asked to read a defense. If they plan on taking him at some point in the draft they better make sure they get him on the board and in the film room to see how much he really knows and is able to recognize.
