• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So Drake May is a very accurate quarterback.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: And if you're looking at this play before the snap,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: you're like, man, this has got to.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Be a completion.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: What's up, good people, We're back on Blueprint presented by
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Microsoft copolot, an official AI sponsor of the NFL. We're
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: going to be talking about Drake May. We're gonna be
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: talking about his mobility, his accuracy. We're gonna have some
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: current NFL guys come in and give us some quotes
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: about him.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you about how to defend it,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: maybe how to stop him. Let's go right here, we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: got Jeffrey Simmons. Let's see, let's go.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: When you play against a quarterback like Drake May, quarterback
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: that's not only kid throw the ball.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Downfield and get the ball to receivers, but also extend
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: plays and run if you need to. We need to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: be on the same page up front.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: We need to make sure that we keep a quarterback
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: in the well for equals one.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's one quarterback. We're all trying to get out to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the quarterback.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: But if we're not on the same page, everyone just
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: doing what they want to do.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: A guy like Drake May, he will make you pay
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: As he's saying four to one, those four guys gotta
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: be on the same page. The whole defense really gotta
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: be on the same page when you're playing against.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Your running quarterback.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the copolygy so we could use this
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: AI power technology that the pros us.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: On the sideline. And again I'm gonna show you how
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: easy it is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go to quarter here, We're gonna hit four
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: quarter all right, turnovers, go to fumble, and it takes
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: us right where we need to be. This is the image,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the final image before the snap starts that you, as
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a defender want to be breaking down.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You can see the raiders.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Are lined up in the zone defense two shell probably
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: concerned about his mobility, you know, don't really want to blitzing,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but also don't want to give up too much.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: In the past. This is a shot zone.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We like to call it between the forties, right, They
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like to throw the ball towards the end zone. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: line up in two shell, take all that away, hopefully,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: keep some eyes on him, keep him in the pocket,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: keep him from scrambling. So now that we see that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: there's a great pocket here, we looked at those pre
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: snap images. Let's go to the video and see exactly
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: what happened in these plays and put my co polltt down.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the video.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's only four four man rush, so he got time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He actually got that U shape, a little smile you
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: can see. But these guys are playing coverage. That's a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: win situation. Anytime a defense can rush for and play
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: coverage behind it. You're not able to see Drake Maye's
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: mobility here. You're not able to see how accurate he
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: would be because the Raiders did a great job by
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: just rushing in their lanes as nobody's open. That's why
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you didn't see the checkdown so late because everybody else's coverage.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: The checkdown is your last result, and by that time
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you could see the rush that got there.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I think this route was built for just this dagger.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We call this we call this route combination the dagger
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: where he runs and he comes in. But these guys,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: he's not even running the route. And these guys are
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: in this way right here, in this window where's you're
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: gonna go with the ball.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: There's no way he's throwing this ball. That's an interception.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But the rush beat you there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: As a quarterback, you gotta be able to come up
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: off of quicker. Notice what the coverage is, Recognize the coverage,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and come up off it. To summarize this playing, to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: give you the blueprint simple. Anytime you can rush for
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: four guys and drop seven against the guy and win,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that's what you do. But when you can contain them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: keep them in the pocket, rush the lanes and make plays.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Guys win their one on one battles. That's how you win.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And this guy coming up, my nephew, come on now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the Mario Davis, Yes, do it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The rookies they really either go to their first read
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and then start to scramble, or they may go first
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: lead to their second lead and then scramble or take
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a sack or throw the ball away. A guy like
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Drake May is very comfortable in going to his first
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: read that may be on the middle of the field
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on the front side, and then he'll come back to
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: his backside and then he'll go to this checkdown and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: he'll get the ball out quick. And so to take
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: away a lethal quarterback like that, now you have to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: get the safeties involved. Now, when you get the safety
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: is involved, what does that do. It opens up the
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: big play and by the time you realize it, ball
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: is gone and if it's on time, it's touchdown. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: know it's a big play. And that's what he's able
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: For Drake may to be able to go through his progression,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that's huge in itself. Now, we couldn't get everybody on video,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: but James White, he got so much respect for Drake
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: may Man he even sent us a DM. So he's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: playing decisive, getting the ball lout his hands quickly when
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he has the opportunity to make plays down the field.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He's extremely accurate.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Josh mcdania has done a great job of taking this
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: game to the next level. I mean, you're just talking
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: about coaches that are in position to make guys good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So Drake may is a very accurate quarterback. But now
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we're gonna look at it from how we're defending this
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the blueprint. I gotta give you the blueprint on how
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to defend this thing, you know. So we're just gonna
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: go to all We're gonna here first quarter, we're going
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to games hit no games, and we're gonna go to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: play five here.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And it's just that simple on how.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You run it on the sideline. We got a condensed
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: formation by the Patriots and Drake May and those guys
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Carolina has. These guys press already to draw off that time.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They want to discourage this guy's accuracy. It's looking like
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a thirty three situation. So you can expect either the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: ball to come out quick on the offensive side, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: you can expect some pressure from the defense. Let's see
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: what the next image look like for Drake May. Here
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: on the back end side of that, you'll see what
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: he sees pre snap. Read he's inside on his this
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: guy pressure coming, you know. It don't look like any
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of these guys are blitzen to him, but maybe they
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: disguising it good. We look at the next image here,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you can see nobody came and they Patriots actually chipped
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that defensive end up there. And if you're looking at
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: this play before the snap, you're like, man, this is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: got to be a completion. You rushing forward, We're gonna
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: chip you that way we can get receivers down the field,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you know, and slow that rush up. In the next
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: image we have here, you can see Drake as a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: nice little pocket. Let's go to the video and see
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: exactly what happened in these players look like the Carolina
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Patricks and man, which I love. This guy got this guy,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: he got him. That little slight motion is to see
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: what to see. If Caroline's in man, they see that,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they switch off and.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They're not in man. They're in a zone.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So right now you already know they disguising to confuse
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Drake May he's looking at the safety right down the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: middle of the field, jump his receiver. If he's seeing
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that safety leave the middle of the field, I'm sure
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: his coach told him to throw that ball over here
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: versus to him. So now we're just gonna look at
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the defense. Like you said, they're in the cover three here,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: this guy got this third, He got that third, He
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: got that third. Now in the cover three situation, this
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: guy got deep third.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He should not be jumping us.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's why I say, from an offensive side, if Drake
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: may see this happening, all this is open now with
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a little late release, and that cornerback makes a hell
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of a play. But as he vacates the field, if
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you're looking at that safety, that ball comes here and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: not behind the receiver. So as accurate as Drake has
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: been on this particular play, he wasn't because the.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Disguise got him.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I think so in order to stop those type of things,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the blueprint against it is be a hell of a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: disguising team.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna wrap this up talking about Drake May.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: We had a bunch of NFL stars come through, Jeffrey
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Simmons to Mario Davis, and James White even gave us
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a DM so we could talk about his mobility.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And his accuracy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We didn't get to see it all on his blueprint,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: but you could see the ability is there. But the defenders,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: they're doing their homework and they're doing it well.
