  Speaker 1: You can't do it any better than that from a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: disguised standpoint, wait till the last minute, and with a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: guy like Jonathan Taylor in the backfield, that's how you
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: get stop to run. This is the Blueprins presented by
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Microsoft copolot An official AI spots of the NFL. We're
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be talking Jonathan Taylor and that offensive line of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the coach. We're gonna be talking explosiveness that Jonathan Taylor
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: has in that vision, but we're really going to talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: about how to slow that down possibly with the defensive side.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from some of the NFL superstars, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we got Tennessee's Titan Jeffrey Simmons here, who plays against
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: them twice. Because there's the vision opposers. So let's see
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: what you got to say about Jonathan Taylor.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Every time you step on the field, every time you
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: watch JAP, you like this o line worked very well together.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: This old line is the reason why Jonathan Taylor get going.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: They communicate very well up front. One thing, like I said,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: they do very well as their double teams. They end
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: up getting a good double team on you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Good luck.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You have to speed and vision and the patient in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the backfield that if you're not gaps the gaps down,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: they'll make you play as a whole team.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So then as a player, retired player, I am, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I hear a lot of key points in there and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: what he's saying, like, guy's gotta be what they're supposed
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to be, you know, on defense. But that offensive line
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is the reason why Johnathan Taylor goes again. Football is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the ultimate team sport. Let's take a look at the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: images here. This Microsoft co pilot and this AI technology
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that they're using on the sideline, so easy too, man,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: hit all you go to second down and we already
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: got to play. It is like that why they didn't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: have this ten to fifteen years ago instead of sixty
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: four interceptions eighty four who knows. Let's see how we
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: could put some pressure on this offensive lineman on here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: See what the Dolphins do to do that, and as
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you can see quickly, they already got eight in the box.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: As you look at the images here, I think this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: guy's disguising a little bit right here, just because of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: his body language tells you things. He his body language
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: right there, he's leaning in. Everybody else kind of look different.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He looked like he's communicating and telling him something. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: everybody looks different. From a defensive side, I'll be looking
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: at these guys like his head is high right here,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: his head high, head high. I'm thinking pass like I'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be thinking past right here. Because just so what they're showing,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I would love to know if this offensive coordinator had
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it them where this quarterback and read this and throw
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: this ball out outside because look at that, it looks
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like a run. This guy is pulling. He's pulling to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get this guy. He shall have him sealed. He got
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: him reached, they got them reached. He'd come off and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: get this guy. That's the run you want his back
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is turned, or you want to throw that ball right here,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: let him block him. That's his guy. One on one tackle.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: That's a hell of a play design because it's a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: power coming from the same side too. That's tough. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you also got this blitzing off the edge. That's a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: long play. So he probably made the tackle. But that's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, so it might be tough. Let's get to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the video. What I would tell you, guys, and this
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is me talking to the offense when they're disguising on defense.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You gotta know people are this guy is the safety.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The safety is going to be aware here. So if
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they're blitzing, they're probably gonna blitz this guy right in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: which they did. Go in a situation where you got
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a guy like Dick Lebo and Troy Polomoalo, they can
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: move him around, so you gotta be careful. Know that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: guy's ability. You gotta know your opponent. This is a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: long developing play. You gotta pull this guy. This guy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: got a hinge and you running the power back to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the strong side. It took too long. Now back to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that old line, right, Jonathan Taylor has great vision, great abilities.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He's explosive, but when this guy comes and do this,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: everybody's mediocre. If he make that block right there, we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: might see Jonathan Taylor explode through here and that tackle.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Need to push that guy out, make the play so
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: we could see that explosiveness and division of Jonathan Taylor.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Because that's why we're watching this, but we're also watching
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it on how to defend them. So stack the box,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: disguising defense, don't let him know what you're in defense,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: no offense, and that's how you slow him down. That's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the blueprint. Let's take a look at Nick Benito talking
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor's abilities.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: He's definitely probably one of the better backs in the league.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: The way he's able to find a gap and literally
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: explode through it and be able to finish runs. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like when he hits the second level, that's
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: what really separates them from other backs, is being able
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to get to that second level and they separate from
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: DB's linebackers and just making.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: A home run run. So I feel like that's kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of what makes him special. Johnathan Taylor definitely is a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: special running back without a doubt. He's got plenty runs
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and you can see the explosiveness everything. He got, the vision,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he got, the stability, ability to take a hit and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: still be up. You know, get those rackyards, you know
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So now let's go to the images
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and see how the defenses could stop or slow down
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: John at the tailor and those coach offense, we're going
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to go to no gains. Sometimes it's attack the loss,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: no gain on here, baby, And we got the images
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: right now that's showing like the Steelers are clearly leaning
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: here towards the right, and that safety's walking down. They
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: gotta be thinking run. You got two tight ends and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the back is at home. When I say at home,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he's right behind the quarterback. This is the home spot.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: If he's in shotgun, that'd be like a side card
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: type of thing. It's different. But you can see what
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: John at the tailor see is from a defensive side.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: If I'm him and I'm looking at this play from
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: half line where you want to run the ball, you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: not really thinking this guy is coming down, but he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: could see it. And that's one guy to beat. You
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: want a running back on the dB all day, the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: safety came down, they pressed the pocket the way we did.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: They didn't pull anybody from offensive side, and I mean
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that's what you want from an offensive perspective. But defense
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: did exactly right. Because this guy is fighting hard to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: keep that tackle or that guard occupied on him, to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: free him up, and to free him up the guard
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in the center, one of them guys got to come
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: off and right now he can't because he's fighting so hard.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think the gap integrity of the Steelers defense on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: this is what helps them. We got to go to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the video. Let's go watch this baby. From the images,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we knew that the Steelers was showing the two ships right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and we know that's what the quarterbacks see in this situation.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You can't do it any better than that from a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: disguised standpoint. Wait till the last minute on a quarterback
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to drop in there, he never make the check. They
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: run the ball right to the safety dropping in, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: now that confuses the offensive line. That make the offensive
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: line delayed for a second to let a guy like
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Watt come around and d make a play.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So holding your disguised defensive backs linebackers, it helps, It
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: helps you d line. It makes your quarterback the offense think,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know. And with a guy like Jonathan Taylor in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the backfield, you want to get in in the box
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: sometime probably majority of the time when you play him.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So like the Steelers did, hold it come down late,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the receivers not able to block you in the back.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's how you can stop to run. On this blueprint,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: we were able to see Jonathan Taylor gets slowed down
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a bit. We watched the defense hold at the sky
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and also the offensive line kind of missed some blocks,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, which we know this is a team sport.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is not as explosive and can't show his
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: vision and his qualities without that offensive line. But you
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: got to give hats off to the defense for making
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: their plays and being where they're supposed to be. If
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you're asking me, that's kind of the blueprint to stop them,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but it's all about execution, So good job on both sides.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That was a blueprint for the day. A
