  Speaker 1: This guy is not even looking at Christian McCaffrey. He
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: actually turned his back to the best player on the field.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What's up, good people, I'm Ed Reed, Hall of Famer.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: This is the Blueprint presented by Microsoft Copilot, an official.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: AI sponsor of the NFL.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're looking at a team that could have been number
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: one in the NFC, San Francisco forty nine ers, but
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: now they gotta go to Philly.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Philly's looking for the blueprint. That's what we're here for.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to see how we can stop Christian McCaffrey
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in at forty nine ers offense. I got Jesse Bates
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: here who played against San Francisco forty nine ers. Give
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: us some points here on blueprint, So let's see what
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you gotta say.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers has always been, you know, another scheme
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: oriented type of team that is just on a whole
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: other level. You know, they have a very good feel
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: for coverages as a defense and how you can create
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: matchup problems with Christian McCaffrey.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Really good backs.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You always just think about them running the football and
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: being the fastest guys getting on the edge with this
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: guy similar to a guy that I know, b John
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Robinson just as a dynamic out of the backfield as
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a receiver.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That makes your job ten.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Times you know harder as a linebacker. You're trying to
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: stop him in the run game, and then next thing
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: you know, he's running the option rout on you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So he's one of.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: The best and making guys miss and having a full
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: understanding of how defenses are trying to contain them.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Talk about their scheme. There's so many things you could
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: do with Christian McCaffrey. So let's see how we can
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: decipher this. Let's go to the copolot Ai power technology
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that the pros use on the sideline. I'm gonna show
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you how the pros go through this. And if I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was playing, I wanted to look at certain plays like
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: clutch moments. We're gonna go to four quarter yards to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: go mid play, pop right in there. Like you see
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the navigation through this thing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It's real easy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: These images are key to the sideline and what professionals
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: do you know?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: During the game, this is what they see.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: As you can see, this is a condensed formation, right.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: All receivers are inside the numbers here and they already
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: got emotion. This is an empty set, so there's no
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: body in the backfield there in some type of cover.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: One man the man thing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Because this guy is moving with him. You get to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: see what the quarterback is seeing from his side. You
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: know what the front seven is seeing the old line
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: those guys.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That's what we can see pre snap. Reed.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Remember these are just images that's giving us something before
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the snap, and as I swipe up, it gives you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that first couple of steps of those guys releasing off
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the ball. This is Christian McCaffrey. You know, he's not
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: being contacted. There's no collision for these guys that are
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: free runners. So it looked like these guys could possibly
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: clear out for him. We got a third and five situation,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you know, where he's not being contacted. I wouldn't think
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Christian would be the deep ball in this. He's probably
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the option guy. You know, these guys are clearing out.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, like how you let Christian McCaffery.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Be a free runner.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But you know that's what a condensed formation would do
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to you being at these guys in bunches. We just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: seen the images here on blueprint with the co pilot.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now let's go to the videos where we could see
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: how this play plays out. So as you see, first
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you got Sat Fraan motioning a receiver across the ball,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and as you see, they come out, get some spacing
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and the guys just able to run a little option
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: route right there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: So it's a thirty five situation. So I'll be looking
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: at this from a Philly standpoint.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Anytime you get condensed formations, it's one of two things.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: They gonna explode the offense, meaning they're gonna go either
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: outside run seven routes or crossing routs, pick routes, that's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, or either take a shot something
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Right, You're gonna see.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: These guys run a game here, but all the work
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is over here. When this guy comes in motion, this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: guy gonna run a little stutter and run a little
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: option route and comes open. But this game right here
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for me on defense, you got to you gotta have contained,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You gotta be disciplined come playoffs. So stay in your
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: rush lanes, keep the quarterback in the pocket, push the pocket.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: If I'm Philly defense playing this week, you know to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: try to give myself a chance.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Now, this is the backup quarterback and Kyle Shanahan is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: just fitting guys in, which is great for their offense,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you know, but that'll be brock perdyt you know. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you gotta be careful on what you're doing. A guy
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: like Christian McCaffrey, you gotta.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Have four eyes on him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He's a motor in the offense, so you want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: know where he's at all at all time. Christian McCaffrey
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is in the slot right there, right looking like a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: tight end. Basically, just put him in a bunch like
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a receiver because you got your tight.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: End right here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He's just the back staying in the backfield. If McCaffrey
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was here and they had to tight end on this side,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it'll be the same route combination. So basically they'll give
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you the same route too. I'm saying that to say this,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this play would come back in the game a different formation,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So you got to know this. I'm pretty sure they
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: ran this countless amounts of time. So that's how you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: still plays. That's how you make plays. They're going to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: give you the same play, just out of different formation.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: To summarize this play on the defensive side, just play recognition.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: These are the things that you do on a play
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is to go through your checklist. You know, it's like
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a plane taking off. What is your checklist before a play?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Go through that checklist, make sure you know where everybody's at,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: recognize the formation, and good luck. So let's go to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the next play here as we have it all right,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and we're.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Gonna go with Christian McCaffrey.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It's an empty set, but he's technically still in the backfield,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but it's empty because he's not in the tackle box.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: No dB could come up here and press him or
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: anything like that. So just so you know, a little
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: small stuff like that on why coaches are doing certain
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: things and they want to get Christian McCaffrey in space
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: by himself and as a defender. If this is your guy,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: if you're covering Christian, you better make sure you know
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: where your help is at. If this guy's covering, know
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: where your help is at.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So these guys should be using each other unless it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: just cover zero. Seems like all the help is inside.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Let's see what they got here. We got shotgun red
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: zone and we're just running verticals. If y'all watching this
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: play on blueprint, like y'all can break it down yourselves,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like what do I need to tell you, they just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: letting them run the right corner. He's the only person
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: up here putting his hands on these receivers. He's actually
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: up there and didn't even touch him. That's a problem.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But they just free runners in the red zone. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: again this is Christian McCaffrey with nobody covering him. These
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: two guys are playing this drop zone where they just
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: reading the quarterback people.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I told you I hate drop zone.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: All you defensive coordinators over there, thank y'all running the defense.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Even though it works, Sometimes that defense suck.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: This is why people lose their jobs. You got to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: first have the right amount of people on the field.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So the blueprint is to make sure you got everybody
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on the field. Coaching ain't easy, playing ain't easy, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: professionals need to be on point. So the blueprint is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to make sure you got eleven people in the field.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You can't defend.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: San Francisco and Christian McCaffrey with ten people, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: it's impossible.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That's why I just look like a drop zone.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They should have a detackle right here, Russian in this
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: lane right here. Then these guys can kind of drop
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: on the guys that they supposed to drop on but it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Looked like a drop zone because who's he reading? Man.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: This type of stuff that make you mad, Like, I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: giving you the blueprint, but this guy right here not
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: bringing his eyes to one of the best players in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the world, Like you don't need a blueprint for that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: This guy is not even looking at Christian McCaffrey. He
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: actually turned his back to the best player on the field.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And if he's looking at the quarterback, look what a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback is looking, y'all, and he's looking at this guy.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So in summary to this, you gotta have eleven people
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: on the field, and I give you the blueprint. As
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you see these plays that San Francisco has done, Philly,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I will watch film. They're gonna do different formations but
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: give you the same plays. So just be mindful of that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Look for a little small, small tips, you know, my
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: blue press. Just make sure you study your tape, but
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: know where the best player that is on the field.
