• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Rams are vertical offense. Look how vertical they get
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: down the field in order for them to throw Stafford off.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You goat to do better than this right here. Look
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: at that. My grandma could throw the ball in there.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: She got no arm. This is the blueprint presented by
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Microsoft Coppolak, an official AI sponsor of the NFL. I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: am your host ed reed. On this episode, we'll be
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: breaking down the Rams, who had a nail bier of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a playoff win against the Path. Want to break down
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Matt Staffs's ability to throw the ball down the middle
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of the field and also make defenders stop in their tracks,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but also show you where they might be vulnerable in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the divisional round against the Bear. First, we hear from
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: sea safety Nick Emon Moorey. He knows first hand on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: how the Rams row.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They kind of got this weirdo like scheme where like
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the giant personnel and like thirteen personnel, all these tight
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ends in line. They run the ball, running the ball,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: run the ball, and then they hit you with that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: play action and hit you with a dagger concept or
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: like a deig concert right over the middle. It's kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of hard for like dudes and drop where they throwing
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: twenty yard twenty five yard digs and you got to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: check down run in the front of you too. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: everything looked the same. We got plays off of it. Offense,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: which is like kind of like harder the fan. You
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: gotta have like a really good front seven and back end.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: They do have play action. They through the motion and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the shifting and the verticals. Now, let's break some stuff
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: down with copilot, the AI power technology to pros use
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: on the sideline. Rams are a very explosive team. They're
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: very dangerous on third and long, not just third and short.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go to a play where we can see how
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they converted. We'll go to third, We're going to hit gain.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go to explosive plays and it pops right up.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Easy process for the sideline right here. And you need
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it to be quick on the sideline because you can
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have a quick turnover that might happen. I mean, offense
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: might go three and out, so you need things to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: happen quick. As we get started, you can see that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this is a three by one formation, and what I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: mean by that is this a receiver, one receiver, two receiver,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: third receiver on this side, and you have a receiver
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: over here, three rout one, So there's only so many
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: plays they're going to give you out of this formation.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: We got the back end read where you can see
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the old line with front end if we're on the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: defensive side, and then you get an image of when
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it first starts. You can see that the defense was
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in the cover too, and they had a pretty solid pocket.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You know, there's no pass rush as we look at
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: this play. If you're in the d line room and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you're drawing a smiley face like that, it's not good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So you gotta disrupt this line of scrimmage. He's got
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to be disrupted to some degree. Now that we looked
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: at the images, let's go to the videos and see
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: how that pans out for us. The rams are a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: vertical offense. The how vertical they get down the field.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And these guys on the other side too, like these
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: are deep routes. This is a bunch route, curls up.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: This guy takes it vertical. I mean, he could pick
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: whoever he wants to throw the ball. Dude. What allows
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: him to throw the ball vertical down the field? Here
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and in the middle of the field is a breakdown
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the defense of coverage, you know, and a lack
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: there of rush. Got a little motion. The motion is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to show you if this man is just a deep
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: zone play for the defense for two shell. And when
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we say two shell, that's two gods taking up half
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to feel you see this, they got to cover up
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: half the field this to cover two It is a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: third to fifteen situation. So the defense need to know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the situation to watch this defender right here, the down
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in distance is third and fifteen. That's the first down marker.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: There's no reason for him to jump this cheese. This
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is the cheese. The ragget cut by biting the cheese.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: If you bite that cheese, he's going to get the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: play behind you like he did. This window right here
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is closed until Stafford season now, because what did you do?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Bit the chief? So the blueprint is to do your
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: job and be where you're supposed to be. As we continue,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: we have the rams against the Seahawks. We're looking at
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you now. Nick. Let's see if he and the Seattle
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Seahawks can stop him. You got a two by two.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You got a two receives here, two resives here, two
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: resives here. Matt Stafford is one of the few quarterbacks
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in this league right now who can have pocket presence,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: go through his reads and make a hell of a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: throw and make it cost you. I'm gonna go back
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because I want to show you the linebacker that was
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: right here and what he's gonna do. He's gonna disappear.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So as a defender with blitzing, I gotta know the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: ball could possibly come out right now. I'm still remembering
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that it's a two x two formation and what they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: like to do out of two by two they like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to run inside stack. They sending pressure from this side.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: The ball don't come out right now. You can see
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Rams have a good pocket. So for what Nick
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was saying, and Nick's right, but Nick, you better talk
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: about that old line. That old line is the reason
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: why he can get that ball down the field. As
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we continue watching this play on the backside of this,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the pocket presence is not aligning that great Seattle defense
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of pass rush to get in there, you gotta win
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: your one on one, one on one right here. You know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one on one right here. That's a little crunched up
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in there. So but you expect one of these guys
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: right here to win their one on ones in order
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: for them to throw Stafford off, you goat to do
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: better than this right here. Look at that. My grandma
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: could throw the ball in there. She got no arm.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So in order for the Bears blueprint to you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be successful, somebody got to come with this. The head
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: lit on fire. They got to get some pass rushing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Now let's look at the Rams in the playoff round
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and she what got them to move on. As we
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: look at this red zone play, which is different than
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: up the field the end zone right here, So now
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you don't have a long feel anymore. You have a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: wider feel. And as you see this play, the Rams
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: are gonna check your eye. This is blueprint stuff that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you ain't getting from your coach. So watch the quick switch.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Watch his eye discipline, he stayed with him. Some coaches
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: know about this here quick switch off the ball. That
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: quick switch right here between these two guys can cause
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of confusion. So you're gonna watch this guy
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: right here. When that guy runs that route and look
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: back at the quarterback. He just wants that defender to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: look back one peak just to get a little space
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so he could make this catch. You can tell the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Rams that they homework not only do they shift, not
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: only do their motion, they do quick switches. You understand
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they got the shallows and all that. So you gotta
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: be disciplined on defense. And again in order to stop
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the rams, you better get the pass rush. If not,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the quarterback will be back there smiling all day. Is
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the reason why it looked like a smiley face. Stafford
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: would be smiling back there all day. And they'll be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: smiling because they just beat you. And that's it. To
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: summarize my blueprint on the rams for the Bears, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: would make sure this week I'm focusing on my discipline,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: my patience, my eye discipline, knowing what my help is at,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just communicating, you know, making sure I'm where I'm supposed
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to be. And that's the playoffs. You gotta be disciplined.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: The blueprint is simple, but you gotta execute it.
