  Speaker 1: Lamar's a special guy, so he could run the ball,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: but he could also throw it. That's a basketball shot.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: That's Lebron just throwing it up easy. Steph Curry shooting
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: from half court like it ain't nothing. This is the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: blueprint presented by Microsoft Copollot, an official AI sparsor of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm gonna break down what makes scar players
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson's special, and I'm gonna give you a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: blueprint on how to stop them. Maybe. Let's see, I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be using co polt power technology like the pros
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: use every week. Let's see what these images got for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: us today. It breaks it down for you basically. Course
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: third quarter here, y'all's to go go go short second
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and one situation. Everything about this says run. If I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was on d SIS, but you have Lamar Jackson in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the backfield, it could be a run pass option. You
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry, you can hand the ball off, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: who knows. Second image pretty much see the same thing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Loaded box. You can see you have all these guys
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in the box here. Next image here it's a fake run.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Lamar has the ball. You can see likely already got
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this guy out Flint then you're gonna have this guy
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: probably going to the flats. Drew's coming across with a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Lamar looked like he the duct in there or gonna
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: roll out from the edge. Guy. These are the guys
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: right here responsible for the past. I played this guy
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: right here. We call them a Z corner anytime they
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was in a big set like this, he's responsible for
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the guy that was off the ball. Everything for me
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: would be playing the pass. But it looks like run.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Only thing you're thinking of is him either Lamar, should
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I say rolling out left to right with the ball. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you gotta cover your guys and have good eyes. Always
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: talk about good eyes. You can ask yourself it's this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: good eyes new It's tough when you got your guys
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in the backfield. When it's a special guy like this guy,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you gotta pick your poison right. He's either gonna cover
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: him or try to stop Lamar. That's the conflict that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you have as a defender. Am I gonna cover or
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: am I gonna go ahead get this guy? But now
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that we looked at the images, let's go to the film.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: What you see out the gate is the Ravens got
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: lined up. They're not quick snapping for nothing. Usually when
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a quick snap happens, you want to catch people off guard.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Usually they the aggressive defense. You want to slow them down,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: make them think, or just catch them off guard and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: let you guys run past them in Obviously the ravens
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that they homework and the work. Football is a game
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of inches. Look how much separation is in between these
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: two guys by him just looking in the backfield. Defenders,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: get your eyes out the backfield. Lamar's a special guy,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so he could run the ball, but he could also
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: throw it. That's a basketball shot. That's Lebron just throwing
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it up easy steph Curry shooting from half court like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it ain't nothing. Not many guys have so for me
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as a safety, because I was this guy, he shouldn't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: be that late, because he wasn't looking at this huddle,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: break the huddle, when they came out of the huddle.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: He should have had his eyes on him. But that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: so many things got to happen before the play for
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the defense. They got to get the call from the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: sideline and get lined up. That's the guy. He need
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to be knowing where he lined up at. But he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: late getting lined up. Guys got bad eyes and it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: an easy touchdown. Lamar's too special for you not to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: get lined up quick. So let's see what we got here.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: We have a thirty seconds before the half first down.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You want to get some points. You don't necessarily have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to score a touchdown, but you want to get some points.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So you want to see your offense better, get your
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback making smart decisions with the ball. You got a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: three point one set with Lamar. If you see a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: man running with a man, that's man. So they already
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: told Lamar what defense they were in. Right, they got
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a two shell and a safety drop. So now they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: go to single high. So right now, he know he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: got guys on the outside open, he got flats open,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he got the seams. He throws a dime. I mean
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: he threw it well, only his guy could get it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They got a great pocket. Right, let that pocket go.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You got one, two, three, four, five six seven in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: protection with a three man route. I like to call
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that concrete protection. They rushing four and they blocking with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: seven and releasing three guys. I hate to say it,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: but chargers come on man one, two, three, four, five,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: six seven guys versus three. I hate seeing this as
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a secondary guy, like, why can't we get this figured out?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: There's no reason seven guys shouldn't be able to cover three,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: but it happens. Let me put myself in the game
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: real quick, if y'all don't mind on blueprint, I'm gonna
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: be this guy right here. The first thing he should notice,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: like releasing the receivers. He's released inside already. He should
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: have already turned. He should have already turned backside his
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: main threats to these two receivers over here. This is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a tight end. He looks like he's about to go out,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but he's possibly blocking, and that guy should not be
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: turned this way. He should be square for one and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he could see all this. And if he saw that,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: either they're gonna shove like we saw earlier and he
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can come off, or he's over the top of this guy.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: There's no reason why he shouldn't be right here. Lamar
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: should be thrown to this guy, not this guy. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that schemed because he's actually going through what I like
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to take say is his progression reading him. Then he
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: goes back to this guy and he finds his spot.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's a quarterback dropping back on six o'clock looking at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: seven coming back to six, going back to five. You
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: got to be able to see the field as a safety.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I'm surveying it just as he is. I know he's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: got to go through that progression. These are the type
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of things when you say Lamar is a quarterback, he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: already knows he's about to let it go. Look at that,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he's loaded. He's already loaded. Bad business when you put
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all that science together and give you an interception or
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to put you in position to make a play. He's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. He could throw the football. But now let's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: look at it for what people know. He's special and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he could do, and that's run the football. And on
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: this play in the red zone, you already got a shift.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: That's a shift. Shift is different than the motion. A
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: shift is a re line. Motion is going to happen
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and the play can get snapped. Look at all this
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on the play, So it's misdirection, its motion and shift.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They want to shift you and man, all this is
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: just distractions. At the end of the day, all you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: need to worry about is the final formation. The final
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: formation of this, honestly would be this guy actually is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: over here and it'll be trips. This guy was off
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the ball, so you should always be alert to him
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: coming back that way. This is smoke screen, and he
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: could hand it to him, but it's all smoke screen,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: basically giving you the old wildcat because you can run
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that with Lamar. It is one of the hardest things
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to defend as a safety. My eyes are on Lamar.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I could see everything else side of my pariff, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm watching Lamar because in all actuality for me down here,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm responsible for him, because he's the extra guy. He's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: uncounted for. And that's why you get this, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: wildcat type of play. Usually you can't account for the quarterback.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: If you playing against Lamar, you know they're going to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: run the ball. Coaches to be foolish not to run
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it with him, so good luck. So now we're assessing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: another play from Lamar and Baltimore. As you can see,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: they already set up, Cleveland set up, got their defense
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: set and they are. They already got the middle clas
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: press cover one, condensed formation, trips, man and man over here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Lamar already know he is going backside. Most quarterbacks cover one,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: cover three if they get pressed one on one, that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: what you're looking for. You want that me as a safety.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I know that. I'm telling you that right now. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: know you want that guy. If I'm that safety, I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: gonna line up here. I'm gonna act like I'm going there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But when I get to the hash, I'm gonna turn
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: back around, and when you throw it, I'm gonna be
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: there for the interception. You might have seen that before.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Run the tape. He's looking right to where he's going
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and this safety is not fast enough to outrun Lamar's on.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Lamar knows that everything about this is pre snapped. They
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: gave him the touchdown. There's help over here, who helping?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And this guy he got all this space to cover
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: by himself. I played against one of the greats. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: played right here. I act like I was going there
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and whipped it around like you just got to know
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the science of the game. All right, man, it's another
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: episode of Blueprint. We talked about a special guy, man,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson Baltimore's own my guy, Love you, man, but
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: special special guy. Hard to stop it.
