Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Baltimore defense didn't give them nothing. It was plain Jane.
- 0:02Speaker 1: If you just sit there against professionals, an elite quarterback
- 0:06Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, he's gonna pick you apart.
- 0:09Speaker 2: This is the.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Blueprint presented by Microsoft Copolot, an official AI sponsored of
- 0:15Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm gonna break down with make star players
- 0:18Speaker 1: like Josh Allen specially, and I'm gonna give you a
- 0:20Speaker 1: blueprint on how to stop them.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Maybe let's see get my surface here.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna be using co polt power technology like the
- 0:29Speaker 1: pros use every week, and we're gonna look at some
- 0:32Speaker 1: images of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. It's no
- 0:36Speaker 1: different than situational football. The copolict does it for you.
- 0:40Speaker 1: You go to touchdown scoring type, I'm gonna go to quarter.
- 0:44Speaker 1: First quarter is what we're looking for. That play we
- 0:47Speaker 1: have is already popped up. We get to the images
- 0:50Speaker 1: and we ready to roll. So you can see the
- 0:52Speaker 1: priests that read as a two shell, so it's either
- 0:55Speaker 1: four cover two. I would think with these corners off
- 0:58Speaker 1: the way they are type of four.
- 1:01Speaker 2: That is the pre snap read that I'm seeing.
- 1:03Speaker 1: You can see that they got a great pocket, which
- 1:05Speaker 1: makes all these guys et Laite. This is part reason
- 1:08Speaker 1: why he's a superstar. So for me, with running quarterbacks,
- 1:12Speaker 1: sometimes their mind won't allow them to set their feet
- 1:15Speaker 1: to make a quick throw that they should make, or
- 1:18Speaker 1: allow them to make plays with their feet. I used
- 1:21Speaker 1: to play a quarterbacks, so I know the conflict that
- 1:23Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
- 1:23Speaker 2: You can see guys make that decision.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So as we go to the film here, let's see
- 1:28Speaker 1: what Josh Allen actually go with this ball. So emotion,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the trips, the motion is to what see man see zone.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We're trying to get a pre snap read off the defense.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I don't think this defense gave him nothing on that motion.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So he's looking at these two safeties. Actually he's looking
- 1:47Speaker 1: through to this guy. These guys are also gonna read
- 1:52Speaker 1: those guys. It's all about that middle of the field
- 1:54Speaker 1: right now for them. He's telling you he's looking at
- 1:57Speaker 1: the middle of the field. He looks off to get
- 2:00Speaker 1: this safety away from this middle. Just that slight look
- 2:05Speaker 1: off by Josh Allen makes him eleap to me, cause
- 2:08Speaker 1: not every quarterback has the discipline to look one side
- 2:13Speaker 1: and actually come back to the other side.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Most of them get stuck.
- 2:16Speaker 1: He looks that guy off for a second, comes back
- 2:18Speaker 1: to the middle. All he needed him to do is
- 2:21Speaker 1: slide that far out. Let's look at this safety. See
- 2:25Speaker 1: he comes over, right, he's coming over. When Josh Allen
- 2:32Speaker 1: moves him slightly, you see that slight movement, get him
- 2:35Speaker 1: away from there. That's enough to get a touchdown.
- 2:39Speaker 2: It was plain Jane.
- 2:40Speaker 1: If you just sit there against professionals and elite quarterback
- 2:44Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, he's gonna pick your apart. You know,
- 2:47Speaker 1: he's gonna pick your apart. So move around, do something
- 2:50Speaker 1: different on defense. But good luck, because he's a star
- 2:54Speaker 1: quarterback in Buffalo. So this next film, we're gonna watch
- 2:57Speaker 1: Josh Allen on Blueprint.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Here is a thirty and eighth situation.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Josh Allen is already pointing and acknowledging who's the mic.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Usually they're telling the old line, who the block, who's
- 3:09Speaker 1: the middle of the defense, because it's looking like a
- 3:12Speaker 1: blitz situation. You know, you got all these guys in
- 3:16Speaker 1: the box here.
- 3:17Speaker 2: You know.
- 3:18Speaker 1: So he points right at him, right, they already know
- 3:21Speaker 1: it's the middle of the defense. The pre snat Reeve
- 3:24Speaker 1: was already in press. I'm pretty sure he saw this
- 3:26Speaker 1: the week ahead of time that if these guys got
- 3:29Speaker 1: in got in Cover one press, he's already in the post.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Middle is closed, and if they not gonna spy the quarterback.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Josh Allen knows this in his head. He's played in
- 3:41Speaker 1: the backyard on Thansgiving with the family and the boys before.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Like what makes you me leap is those seven inches
- 3:49Speaker 1: between his ears. As you can see, he can read
- 3:52Speaker 1: the rush. He knows the mic. He's telling you who's
- 3:54Speaker 1: the mic. He knows his man. He motioned his guy.
- 3:58Speaker 1: He drops back. He he's looking at his guys, but
- 4:01Speaker 1: he's also seeing and feeling the rush. The pocket collapses,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and when the pocket collapse on a running quarterback, he's
- 4:09Speaker 1: going to take off. Josh Allen just sees the hole.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Like I said, he has that running back type of skill.
- 4:17Speaker 1: He sees it smart quarterback. That's a jump and then
- 4:21Speaker 1: a cut like a running back.
- 4:24Speaker 2: The man's a super athlete.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Good luck running cover one against a quarterback like that
- 4:28Speaker 1: who can run. He's going to expose you. He's not
- 4:30Speaker 1: gonna make a shoe string tackle on Josh Allen. So
- 4:32Speaker 1: my blueprint is not going cover one against an elite
- 4:37Speaker 1: star quarterback like Josh Allen and turning your back not
- 4:41Speaker 1: having a spy on him.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's tough sledging for anybody.
- 4:45Speaker 1: As we get into this next film, you already see
- 4:47Speaker 1: it preaching that read the formation is condensed down. I mean,
- 4:52Speaker 1: the receivers are tight to the offensive line. There's so
- 4:56Speaker 1: many things from an offensive perspective you could be doing
- 4:59Speaker 1: because Gosh, honestly could throw that ball right now, and
- 5:05Speaker 1: remember what I told you about running quarterbacks in their mind.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I think the coaches of Buffalo know this too. I
- 5:12Speaker 1: think they called this route in hope or knowing that
- 5:15Speaker 1: Josh would extended because look at the pocket, great pocket.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Why is he running? There's no need for him to
- 5:22Speaker 1: leave the pocket right now? He could get the ball
- 5:25Speaker 1: to this guy, that guy right now, maybe not this
- 5:29Speaker 1: guy at the top, but that's Josh Allen. He's extending
- 5:32Speaker 1: the play, acting like he's running.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And what happens.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Safety comes up, Guys start to get out of that
- 5:39Speaker 1: passing coverage, and that's all it takes.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He's beat now.
- 5:43Speaker 1: It's easier for safety to go forward than it is
- 5:47Speaker 1: for you to go backwards. And that's all it takes.
- 5:50Speaker 1: We're gonna call or play just for the sticks. This
- 5:54Speaker 1: play is not really meant to go deep. They don't
- 5:58Speaker 1: want this over here. It's cover too, but when you
- 6:01Speaker 1: extend to play, that's what makes it hard to plaster.
- 6:06Speaker 1: This guy is not going to come and tackle Josh
- 6:10Speaker 1: Allen before he gets past the line of scrimmage. There's
- 6:14Speaker 1: no need to, so he should wait and Josh Allen
- 6:18Speaker 1: is not gonna miss that. Sometimes defenders make even more elite.
- 6:23Speaker 1: If you're the secondary, stay in coverage, stay on your
- 6:27Speaker 1: man plaster, if use a safety, stay deep. It's easier
- 6:31Speaker 1: to come forward than it is to go backwards, as
- 6:34Speaker 1: we in this To stop elage players, you gotta have
- 6:37Speaker 1: an elite mind on this episode, the blueprint take that
