- 0:00Speaker 1: Quarterbacks, selling the fake Sean Payton, staying on the details
- 0:04Speaker 1: throughout the week, and it pays off on Sunday.
- 0:07Speaker 2: This is the Blueprint.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Presented by Microsoft Coppolak, an official AI sponsor of the NFL.
- 0:13Speaker 1: I am your host ed reed today. I want to
- 0:16Speaker 1: take a look at the Broncos offense. They like to
- 0:18Speaker 1: put the defense in the buying. They like to overload
- 0:21Speaker 1: one side the field and they can take some shots
- 0:24Speaker 1: down the field. But after the big win against the
- 0:26Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in the Division A Round, we want to
- 0:29Speaker 1: take a look and see if I can give you
- 0:30Speaker 1: the blueprint on what it takes to beat these guys
- 0:33Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship. Before we dive in, let's hear
- 0:36Speaker 1: from Washingtons Deroan Payne.
- 0:38Speaker 2: He has a beat on these Bronco.
- 0:39Speaker 3: They're doing the play action pass. They send it up
- 0:41Speaker 3: with their running games, so they're pounding, pounding teams and
- 0:44Speaker 3: then getting to where they can take shots in the
- 0:47Speaker 3: middle of the field and they're converting deep. So it's
- 0:51Speaker 3: good where you can set things up with a nice
- 0:53Speaker 3: running game because it has the defenders like moving up
- 0:56Speaker 3: to try to stop the run, and then you get
- 0:58Speaker 3: them on their toes and just hit them over.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I like what Deron said.
- 1:02Speaker 1: As much as you talk about the run and the passes,
- 1:04Speaker 1: certain runs and certain passes, you know that he's hitting
- 1:06Speaker 1: you with with that play action. But one thing they
- 1:09Speaker 1: not mentioned is sean fake. That's the other side to
- 1:11Speaker 1: this thing. It's a schematic thing. Now, let's go to
- 1:14Speaker 1: Microsoft copolot, the AI power technology the pros use on
- 1:18Speaker 1: the sideline. The Broncos could be a very explosive team
- 1:21Speaker 1: with play action. Let's go to the first down and
- 1:24Speaker 1: see how they utilize that play action is.
- 1:27Speaker 2: So we're gonna go to the first down.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Games go go to explosives, and we got the Broncos
- 1:33Speaker 1: here on first play. Here, the game is fast. Things
- 1:36Speaker 1: are happening quick. You need to make in game adjustments.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Easy process for the sideline right here. So this is
- 1:42Speaker 1: the pre snap images the pros use on the sideline.
- 1:45Speaker 1: As you see in this first image, that guy's in motion.
- 1:49Speaker 1: You got a motion guy, so they already are looking
- 1:53Speaker 1: to see if you're in man the man. What else
- 1:55Speaker 1: do you see? Well, everybody is in a condensed form
- 1:58Speaker 1: as image. You could get a pretty decent view on
- 2:03Speaker 1: the backside of their backs. Flat backs should I tell
- 2:08Speaker 1: you not the quarterback back, but flat backs usually mean run.
- 2:11Speaker 1: If that back is up, it usually means that it's
- 2:14Speaker 1: gonna pass. If you know the coordinator in the tree
- 2:18Speaker 1: he comes from, you know what type of play action
- 2:20Speaker 1: stuff they.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Like to do. They like to sell the run, give
- 2:24Speaker 2: you a little contact, but also absorb that in the past.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So now you go to the third image, as we
- 2:29Speaker 1: could see big pocket, you're about to get a play action.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Why do I say play action?
- 2:35Speaker 1: Whereas you're seeing this image, none of these o'd linemen
- 2:38Speaker 1: is where down the field receiver releasing, release and releasing.
- 2:44Speaker 1: All these guys are head high blocking. With the head
- 2:48Speaker 1: high blocking, that say play action, play action because the
- 2:51Speaker 1: quarterback has already turned his back to us. Now that
- 2:55Speaker 1: we've done looking at the images they see on the sideline,
- 2:58Speaker 1: let's go to the videos and see how that padded
- 3:01Speaker 1: out for us. He can't tell me this ain't schematic stuff.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Sean Payton is a smart coach. They gonna motion the guide.
- 3:08Speaker 1: See if they see if the defense shift, see if
- 3:12Speaker 1: they man the man. Nobody moves, so they're in the zone.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I would tell you one thing about the zone and
- 3:17Speaker 1: play action. It works first and tense situation too, So
- 3:22Speaker 1: you expect to run. All you gotta do is do
- 3:24Speaker 1: your job, concentrate on your job. But when you don't
- 3:26Speaker 1: concentrate on your job, you do what this safety does.
- 3:32Speaker 1: This guy right here, you're responsible for deep. Why are
- 3:37Speaker 1: you moving up. There's no reason for that guy to
- 3:41Speaker 1: go up. He's not going to stop the play. I
- 3:44Speaker 1: can see your linebackers going up, but that's why you
- 3:47Speaker 1: lose coverage in this zone because of those linebackers. But
- 3:51Speaker 1: as a safety, there's no reason for him to come up.
- 3:54Speaker 1: That safety in the middle of the field going flat.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Watch his angle from here. If I'm gonna say, y'all
- 4:00Speaker 1: need to go back, his angle is here. That's flat.
- 4:04Speaker 1: This guy shouldn't go here. He should come back here.
- 4:07Speaker 1: His responsibility is deep. But his angle gonna hurt him,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and this guy coming up gonna hurt him. That's just
- 4:15Speaker 1: giving it up. This is just wide open. That's just
- 4:18Speaker 1: giving it up. That ball is actually designed to go
- 4:21Speaker 1: right here. Now, you gotta be like, Okay, they playing
- 4:24Speaker 1: against Kansas City. Kansas City struggled on the run, so
- 4:28Speaker 1: that's why they secondary might be a little aggressive coming
- 4:30Speaker 1: in on the run. We're gonna use this against you,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you know, but third quarter they definitely scheming you. Now
- 4:37Speaker 1: they know this play can work. That's the blueprint, you know.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I mean, do your homework on the team you playing against.
- 4:43Speaker 1: But if you ain't got the players in the spot
- 4:46Speaker 1: stop him, it's gonna make for a long day, especially
- 4:48Speaker 1: if they play action in the running the ball. That's
- 4:51Speaker 1: a long day of football, my friend. So as we
- 4:54Speaker 1: go over to the next video of Denver and these
- 4:56Speaker 1: throwback uniforms, and you got Dallas bunch formations on this
- 5:00Speaker 1: side of the field. This guy is potentially in the bunch,
- 5:04Speaker 1: all right, but you got a possible bunch situation over here,
- 5:08Speaker 1: which causes different issues. Now you got That's what I'm
- 5:11Speaker 1: talking about. You gotta know the coach that you're playing
- 5:14Speaker 1: against as well as the players. Sean Payton giving you
- 5:18Speaker 1: bunch situations, which forces the defense to line a line
- 5:23Speaker 1: right now, and it forces the defense to communicate. You
- 5:27Speaker 1: got to be on point when you're playing against coordinators
- 5:29Speaker 1: like soap. Everybody eyes on the quarterback, not on that guy.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Look at his eyes. He's looking at his guy. Where's
- 5:37Speaker 1: he looking? He see this guy coming? But that's not
- 5:41Speaker 1: his responsibility. His responsibility is here. This guy and this
- 5:47Speaker 1: guy should have been running under here, but he's looking
- 5:50Speaker 1: in the backfield. It's a flood situation. This guy going vertical,
- 5:55Speaker 1: this guy coming here. It's street levels as you see it,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you know, which helps your quarterback. When your quarterback sets
- 6:05Speaker 1: up to throw the ball. Look at what he sees.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Everything is on this side of the field. And then
- 6:12Speaker 1: you bringing this guy late dragon, so his window is here.
- 6:17Speaker 1: He could throw it here, He could throw it to
- 6:19Speaker 1: this guy and then he got the deep ball. If
- 6:21Speaker 1: you want to schematic stuff, coach helping a young quarterback,
- 6:26Speaker 1: put guys all in the same area, get his quarterback
- 6:30Speaker 1: on a run to move the pocket against a good
- 6:33Speaker 1: pass rush in the running back. Even on the play
- 6:36Speaker 1: action play that we showed earlier, you could see the
- 6:40Speaker 1: running back giving you a huge pocket to make these
- 6:44Speaker 1: guys think they're running the ball. Quarterback selling the fake,
- 6:49Speaker 1: making you think that it's a run, and these guys
- 6:52Speaker 1: falling for the offensive line right here.
- 6:57Speaker 2: See that. Look at this parade.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Everybody look the same, don't they smarty guard time. I
- 7:06Speaker 1: gotta give it to you. Anytime you get something like that,
- 7:08Speaker 1: you gotta know boot play actions, something like that they
- 7:12Speaker 1: give you. If they were coming down the field, they'd
- 7:16Speaker 1: be like this Sean Payton, staying on the details throughout
- 7:19Speaker 1: the week and it pays off on Sunday. Just a
- 7:22Speaker 1: good schematic play from a defensive side. I mean, you
- 7:25Speaker 1: just got to communicate and play with better. I if
- 7:29Speaker 1: I was a team going against them in the AFC
- 7:31Speaker 1: Championship game, for me, I'm gonna put my hands on
- 7:34Speaker 1: the receivers. I'm gonna be close to receivers in you
- 7:37Speaker 1: gotta shut down one part of the offense, either run
- 7:39Speaker 1: game or the past game.
- 7:40Speaker 2: We know that you can't let them do it all.
- 7:43Speaker 1: This Brocos team definitely have a chance to be in
- 7:45Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and possibly win it.
- 7:47Speaker 2: And their defense is a shutdown defense.
- 7:50Speaker 1: A little inconsistent, but now they starting to get it
- 7:52Speaker 1: rolling at the time when you need it rolling, you know.
- 7:54Speaker 1: So we'll see in the next couple weeks win that
- 7:57Speaker 1: big dance
- 8:00Speaker 3: T
