McDermott on very interesting NFL Films video on goal line fades

[Roundybout]

 

I was surprised to see McD appear in this NFL Films video on the “death” of the goal line fade. It also has a nice clip of Coleman’s touchdown against the Seahawks last season. 
 

Very interesting stuff.

Can’t think of a lower parentage play to try there.

Dont like it.

 

Edit: lol, should have watched the video first. They actually mention that, statistically, fades work less often than BROKEN PLAYS do.

Never been a fan of the play unless you got a player that really excels at it.

In those clips of successful fades, you see a lot of WR push-offs. So, I think that the increase in OPI calls has negated the fade to a degree.

[T.E.]

"Since 2018 in goal-to-go situations, fade routes rank below broken plays in positive play percentage."

 

Wild stat.

I took 2 things from this - 

 

1. Kellen Moore is smiling, so it had to be shot before the season started

2. I have no clue who the Jags coach is or where he came from

Liam Cohen? He was Mayfield's OC in Tampa Bay the last 2 years I believe.

I think the Bills are trying too hard to force balls to Coleman in these situations. OPI is called tighter than when Moss and Megatron played. It’s just harder when you can’t push off.
