Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When you're defending against CD Lamb, you should be looking
- 0:03Speaker 1: at his hips, not his whole body.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Look at them. Hips can't go nowhere without their hips.
- 0:10Speaker 2: What's up, good people.
- 0:11Speaker 1: We're back on Blueprint, presented by Microsoft Coppolant, an official
- 0:16Speaker 1: AI sponsor of the NFL. We're gonna talk to current
- 0:19Speaker 1: players about CD Lamb, how he can get in and
- 0:22Speaker 1: out of routes, the separation he gets on routes, the
- 0:26Speaker 1: quickness he have and the smoothness and his abilities right,
- 0:29Speaker 1: So let's check it out and see if we can
- 0:31Speaker 1: stop him.
- 0:32Speaker 2: More defense too.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Blueprint starts, so let's talk to another NFL playmaker, Dyon Hindy.
- 0:39Speaker 2: See what he got to say about it.
- 0:41Speaker 3: The best thing that he has in his arsenal from
- 0:43Speaker 3: that was not looking at him. He's very, very shifty
- 0:46Speaker 3: his top of the route. When he breaks in or out,
- 0:49Speaker 3: you never know which way's gonna be.
- 0:50Speaker 2: So I feel like that's.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Something that he has in his advatge. So cde Lamb
- 0:54Speaker 3: is one of those guys where not only is he
- 0:56Speaker 3: a fast receiver, he's physical shorthands.
- 1:00Speaker 2: On the top of the route. It's always executed pretty good.
- 1:02Speaker 1: They aren't talking about CD making plays not just with
- 1:05Speaker 1: his hands, but with his feet too, you know, getting separation.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Those things matter for a receiver, especially for your quarterback. Now,
- 1:13Speaker 1: let's go get my cole polych this AI power technology
- 1:17Speaker 1: that we use on the sideline down distance, second down play,
- 1:23Speaker 1: pops up and get any better than that.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Okay, what we got here?
- 1:27Speaker 1: We got a two by two formation shotgun two box
- 1:30Speaker 1: two formation with the Dallas Cowboys versus the Pittsburgh Stellers.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Look like they got some type of middle clothes, meaning
- 1:37Speaker 1: that they have a safety in the middle. Right close, middle,
- 1:42Speaker 1: you got a potential for verts. So all these guys
- 1:45Speaker 1: could be carrying it. I believe CD Lamb is out here,
- 1:50Speaker 1: so middle close, right now, right. These guys are responsible
- 1:53Speaker 1: deep though. So there's holes in the defense. You can
- 1:56Speaker 1: almost see it. You really want to teach your guys something.
- 2:00Speaker 1: You drop the coverage and you're ask him where the
- 2:02Speaker 1: holes are? Where are the holes in the defense. You know,
- 2:05Speaker 1: you got to throw it over his head. You got
- 2:07Speaker 1: the flats right here. You got the flats. You got
- 2:10Speaker 1: to throw it over his head over here. But the
- 2:12Speaker 1: seams too. See that hole right there, all right, there'll
- 2:18Speaker 1: be a hole behind him in between this guy right
- 2:22Speaker 1: and in the middle.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Know where your hole's at in the defense.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So as we look at the other images here with
- 2:29Speaker 1: she with Dak sees and now what we get.
- 2:31Speaker 2: We got verticals come on people, but they're well defended.
- 2:36Speaker 1: On this side. You got a guy with the top.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Guy with the top got a decent pocket. Seemed like
- 2:41Speaker 1: that's forming. That's no problem there. See he look like
- 2:44Speaker 1: he's covered on the top. Look like Dak is already
- 2:47Speaker 1: looking over there. If I'm this guy looking at that guy,
- 2:51Speaker 1: if he's looking that way, I'm leaning that way. I
- 2:55Speaker 1: didn't say I'm going that way. If he's looking that way,
- 2:59Speaker 1: I'm lean in that way. I'm not going you figure
- 3:03Speaker 1: out what that means for you. Let's go to the
- 3:05Speaker 1: video so I can show you what Dak did on
- 3:08Speaker 1: this and with CD there, the quarterback got to get
- 3:10Speaker 1: him the ball and oh mind, it's almost like he
- 3:13Speaker 1: don't think this ball.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Is supposed to go to CD lamb.
- 3:16Speaker 1: When you pause this play right here, everything about this
- 3:19Speaker 1: play tells you the ball should go to this guy
- 3:22Speaker 1: right in this hole. He's on top of him. You know,
- 3:29Speaker 1: there's a guy on top of him. Guy on top
- 3:31Speaker 1: of him. This guy is going underneath CD Lamb because
- 3:34Speaker 1: he's such a threat. This is when you know CD
- 3:39Speaker 1: calls for two people to be over there. He's thinking
- 3:41Speaker 1: about CD Lamb and that's not his responsibility. And for
- 3:45Speaker 1: this play, I mean the blueprint is sometimes your best
- 3:49Speaker 1: guy ceede Lamb would be a dcourt.
- 3:51Speaker 2: That's my thing. This is a teaching point for Dallas.
- 3:56Speaker 1: You CD as a d court, throw the ball to
- 4:00Speaker 1: your inside guy. I'm pretty sure with CD being a decoy,
- 4:05Speaker 1: whoever's in that second spot, it's gonna make a lot
- 4:08Speaker 1: of plays, right, you got pickings over there making plays.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Use CD as a decoy. That's your blueprint.
- 4:17Speaker 1: You know you're a bad boy on blueprint when we
- 4:20Speaker 1: gotta go to the DMS to get the message for you. Man.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So we got with Treyvon Day Smooth, quick and manipulate
- 4:26Speaker 1: his stems and run great routes. Makes him hard to guard.
- 4:30Speaker 1: He does weird body movements. That's something you gotta watch
- 4:33Speaker 1: because you live, guys. Defenders are looking at you right
- 4:36Speaker 1: really just watching your hips, not your whole body. So
- 4:39Speaker 1: Trayvon started watching the whole body. Man, watch the hips.
- 4:42Speaker 1: He's smoothing quick out of his breaks and stuff, and
- 4:45Speaker 1: like Trayvon said, that makes him hard, you know, that
- 4:48Speaker 1: makes him hard to cover. Maybe we can stop him,
- 4:50Speaker 1: maybe we can't. But I'm gonna see if I can
- 4:52Speaker 1: give you a blueprint to get.
- 4:54Speaker 2: The thing done. And we're gonna go take it straight
- 4:56Speaker 2: to the images.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Here, we're already on the turnover side and this Microsoft
- 5:01Speaker 1: AI technology that we have. Look, it's simple quarter, all right,
- 5:06Speaker 1: got turnovers.
- 5:07Speaker 2: We're gonna go to your third quarter and it simplifies
- 5:11Speaker 2: it for you.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Break it down to one image and we can go
- 5:16Speaker 1: straight to it. We got a condensed formation down Philly
- 5:20Speaker 1: and cowboys condensed it down to get Philly to show
- 5:26Speaker 1: their face. You can see it from this side. Dak
- 5:29Speaker 1: is pretty aware on what guys are doing. He's looking
- 5:33Speaker 1: at you can see his head checking something out. So
- 5:36Speaker 1: to those young quarterbacks, make sure you're looking around prea
- 5:40Speaker 1: sing that read.
- 5:42Speaker 2: You already know you got play action.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Got these guys to come up, those linebackers to come
- 5:48Speaker 1: up a little bitch, freeze up the middle of the field.
- 5:51Speaker 1: And when you do that, that put pressure on this
- 5:54Speaker 1: cornerback to get even closer to him, just in case
- 5:58Speaker 1: he runs across the field.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And now Dak got his eyes down the field.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys put cdee Lamb and their offense
- 6:06Speaker 1: in the best possibosition so Cidy could be at his best,
- 6:09Speaker 1: so nobody can get their hands on him.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Condence the formation down. They can't get his hands on him, and.
- 6:15Speaker 1: He could display his best attributes, his quickness, his feet,
- 6:19Speaker 1: you know, and his ability to separate from guys. He
- 6:22Speaker 1: gets lined up, they know if these guys moved a bit,
- 6:26Speaker 1: all that does is let Seed know he's outside inside?
- 6:32Speaker 2: Is he playing man? Is his zone? Pretty sure he
- 6:36Speaker 2: see man right here.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So let's go to the video and see how this
- 6:40Speaker 1: play plays out. They got a good pocket. Receivers are
- 6:43Speaker 1: office one on one. You see this play action here.
- 6:47Speaker 1: They should stay outside of these receivers. He should stay
- 6:51Speaker 1: on outside of him right here, he should stay out
- 6:54Speaker 1: here taking him to the post guy. They're taught to
- 7:00Speaker 1: to his feet to get separation. Run up on his feet.
- 7:03Speaker 1: If you can get close enough to run up on
- 7:04Speaker 1: his feet, you can go anywhere. And that's just what happened.
- 7:07Speaker 1: When you see him get to the top of his
- 7:09Speaker 1: route number eighth on know if he's going inside and outside,
- 7:12Speaker 1: he's really beat already because he's inside. Trayvon talked about
- 7:18Speaker 1: that body movement that gets you. That's because the cornerback
- 7:22Speaker 1: is not looking at his hips. You should be looking
- 7:26Speaker 1: at his hips, not his whole body. Look at them.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Hips can't go nowhere without their hips. All right, you're
- 7:34Speaker 1: defending against CD Lamb or anybody know your help is
- 7:39Speaker 1: a on the defensive side.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Try to disguise it.
- 7:41Speaker 1: But again CD great route, getting to the top of it,
- 7:47Speaker 1: giving them something.
- 7:50Speaker 2: And making a great catch.
- 7:51Speaker 1: We talked about his hands, you see that, We talked
- 7:54Speaker 1: about his feet. You got that now when everybody don't
- 7:58Speaker 1: want to cord, you get plays like that. And that's
- 8:00Speaker 1: a rap of our blueprint on this episode talking about c.
- 8:03Speaker 2: D Lamb.
- 8:04Speaker 1: The blueprint don't always work, but execution does get the
- 8:09Speaker 1: job done. Blueprint we out right
