  Speaker 1: Baker has the ball, the rush is already going. You
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: see how the defense wins there. That's how you combat
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: against a quarterback with a strong arm, and that's accurate.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: What's up, good people. We're back on Blueprint presented by
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Microsoft Coppolot, an official AI sponsor of the NFL, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Baker Mayfield, some of his toughness,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: some of his accuracy, and some of the things that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the defense did to stop some of the great abilities.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from some of the NFL superstars
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: talking about Baker Mayfield. Let's go to Bayern Young talking
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about his arm string here on the Blue Press. Let's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: see what he got to say, people.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Bigger man like he the arm sprint is insane. We
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: knew come into the game that we had to get
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: really good pressure on him because we knew that if
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: we just give him time back there to throw like
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: he would dot you of all game like he was
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: head tapping you. So we just knew that we had
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a good pressure on him. Man Like if he rolled
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: out the pocket, that's when he's at his best, like
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: he's he's just gonna let it up. So we just
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: knew the type of accurate quarterback he is that you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you got to make him really young comfortbook. If you don't,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: he'll make you pay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty much a good assessment. Baker will
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: make you pay. They will make you pay. But you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: can't just have armstream. You gotta have the accuracy. As
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he talked about, let's go to the copolot and the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: AI technology that is used on the sideline with all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the coaches and players. I'm gonna use it right here
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and show you how simple it is. I'm going to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: go to turnovers and the images that we need for
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the sideline that the pros use is right here. This
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is the final image before the snap starts that you,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: as a defender wanna be breaking down. And right now
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we have this third down situation here, and you could
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: see just from the start of this that Detroit was
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: already putting pressure on Tampa Bank. Look at this one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: nine ten. When defenses press guys on the line like this,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they are trying to throw the timing off. You know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that gives the defensive line a chance to get to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the quarterback too. That helps you in the rush. You know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: if you could throw that timing off. So let's go
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to the next image and see how it looks from
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this side. That's what Baker sees. You know that go
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: your safety in the post who've been making plays, got
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to know where he's at. As you can see guys
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: coming off. This receiver's being hit. He's still not even
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: up the field and Baker has the ball in his hand.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: This guy's being hit, he's not really in his route yet,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he haven't made a move and Baker has the ball.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: The rush is already going. You see how the defense
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: wins there. That's how you combat against a quarterback with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a strong arm, and that's accurate pressing moving around. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: gotta do different things. So let's go to the video
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: so I can show you what happens to play starts.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The defensive line casts some havoc back there. They closed
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: pocket enough as that pressure gets there and that's forcing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the ball. That's a terrible throw by a good quarterback.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Having armstrength can get a quarterback in trouble. He's not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: setting his feet and just relying on your arm strength.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Have you throwing some erratic balls at times? Right here,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you see there is a loaded box safety in the postal.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, is man single high some type of thing
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: right there, and this guy's just reading the quarterback. I mean,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: look at that. He is directly where Baker Mayfield is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: With all this chaos going on, Baker lost. How you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: not know where the safeties are? I mean, that's a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: hell of a play by Detroit. You gotta get hats
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: off to that player making that play there, hiding in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the hole, not being seen into that D line, getting
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: pressure in his face to where he can see him.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Watch Baker Mayfield feet. He never really gets set. You
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: can see he's not comfortable in the pocket. Detroit must
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have had him shook. When these guys are pressed, these
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: guys tend to get pretty coming off the ball, wasting
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: time right Receivers got to get open, and they got
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to get open right now. This is a third down situation.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They're pressing them. They're not even off the ball. Look
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at that the receiver at the bottom of the screen
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not even five yards up the field. They got one
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: guy five yards up the field. D line is already
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the full rush and no receivers in their route.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And when the D line could rush like that, that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: means coverage could be good. Forcing Baker Mayfield to throw
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the ball when he don't want to and we get
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the interception. It works hand in hand. I ain't got
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: plenty interceptions from my d line rushing the quarterback the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: blueprint on this. Sometimes it's just about execution. You know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: when guys are playing together, eleven guys on the same accord,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: understanding where your help is at, that's what you get.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You get turnovers. I'm about to to man nephew, Mario Davis.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I've been mentoring for some time now, so it's a treat.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: A lot of times people see Baker Mayfield and they
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: may see him make a dynamic play and just see
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a general highlight and be like, oh, that was impressive.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: But what separates his play from the next guy. Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I think number one is his unique mobility inside and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: outside the pocket to keep plays alive because he has
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a fearlessness inside the pocket. And what you see with
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield is he kind of turns into a running back,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: like he makes it hard for the guy that's trying
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to sack him to give them and then once he
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: does that, now he's outside the pocket, and then he
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: just turns back into a poised quarterback. And he throws
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the ball down the field. And the fact that he
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: does that all the time, it just so happens shows
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: up in those clutch moments as well, like he doesn't
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: change in those big moments.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: There's so much true to what the Mario just said
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about how the play gets extended and now it's another
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: play going on. You know it go back to sandlot football.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I've been saying this for the longest. Every play becomes
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: sandlot after three to four seconds. I got that man,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You got that man. But on this blueprint we're talking
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: about Baker. So you know he has the strength to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: throw one of the best balls in the league and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: fit it in there. But he can also extend to play,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and do that with his legs. That makes
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for a difficult quarterback. Now I'm gonna go to my copolt.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go to quarter, We're gonna go the second quarter,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna go to play four. It's just that simple.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And as you see the images here, you got another
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: condensed formations for Tampa Bay. It's a clutch time. You know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you gotta have your mental toughness up and guys gotta
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: make plays. We got a bunch of people in the box. One, two, three,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: four down Linemen. I believe this guy's going to jam
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this tight end. He's pressing him. I got this guy,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he got this second, this guy right here, he has
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that guy right. All these guys are working together. Then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: man and man look like zero. Honestly, snapper the ball,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: he has protection. You got a five man rush coming
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: at him. So they got a little pressure coming. That
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: ball should get out of his hand right now, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the film here. Now we already
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: know that they condensed the formation, so there was a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: shift in the beginning, all right, So now we're gonna
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: get to the final formation. And here we go. They
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: rushed five, so Baker should be thinking to get this
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: ball out of his hand, right. It's actually a pretty
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: decent throw from Baker. They sent five people at you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: When we rush five against five five oh line five
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: D line. What we saying is that one of those
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: guys needs to win the man on man. As you see,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Philly did that and put pressure on Baker, forcing him
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: out of the pocket. That's where you see his arm
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: strength running out of the pocket and still being able
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to make that throw while going back I mean he's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: holding the receiver or receiver Sield should have caught that ball.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: But honestly, this guy right here should be getting the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: ball right now. I study quarterbacks all my life. Baker
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: should throw this ball right now, and he catches that ball. Now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's got a great chance to make that play. Not now,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that ball had been gone. Don't say now
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: because of all this right here, the ball had been
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: gone back here in the person situation, just take the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: easy throw, as we say, take what they give me.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I played twelve years in the league. Take the deposits.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You'll never go broke. That's for the quarterback, in for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: your pocket. That's the blue player.
