Struggled, you know, by his own standards, you know, it wasn't
what he expected. Why did he struggle particularly against
the blitz? Why do you think Baltimore had issues
dealing with the blitz at Pittsburgh? You can see in
the Dropbox?
No Blitz, 28 times against the blitz 19 times and just you
seem to have an issue
with the pressure. It's
it's we talked about this. I think the
Bengals game. Remember at home earlier this year. Iran,
believe it was you with me the Bangles game? Of course, we
talked. We've talked about the Dolphins, Thursday night game,
right? They don't have a great understanding of how
to beat the blitz
one. I don't think their plan to beat it. Is that great
offensively. And to, you know, Lamar at times. I don't know if
he's doing necessarily the right thing either. So, it's
a little bit of like, two
things. Meaning it ahead
to, wow. I mean, that's
shouldn't be having some of these negative plays that they
have against the blitz. I think team see that so they can go
into it. They keep going. You know, I don't know if Lamar
knows what he's doing or if you just relying on his legs to get
them out of
trouble and I'm not sure necessarily of Greg. Roman has
a lot of answers either. So nobody scared to kind of, you
know, push the envelope a little bit on these bullets has
certainly didn't have an answer for TJ W. No, no, no,
a lot of people haven't know, they leave the league in sacks.
Nominal, you had a day that and then the fact of like, you
know, blitzing and Lamar's got nobody open or not knowing
where everything runs or holds the ball too long,
and he fell into TJ W lap. I
Think two different times until happened more than yeah, so so
but yes, it just was an underwhelming effort by Lamar
and the offense. I put it on both.
I look at Lamar in this game and go
there. We're going to show some plays where he missed it there.
One. I wanted to show some other place to go also like,
see the offense isn't great either. They don't always
deliver for them. When you say the offense around them. Are
you talking about the other? Ten guys out there? Are you
talking about the plan? The plan itself and the other ten
guys out there, you know, their offensive
lines. Not a Strength there. They got backup running backs.
They got third, and fourth string running backs. Playing
starting running back to them, and that's been kind
of the theme all see. That's the thing. It's not new, you
know, they don't, they never can consistently, run the ball
throughout a game. They read their the most misleading top
five running team in the history of football because
Lamar cause Alomar exactly right. A few game
plan designed runs by him and a Scramble for 40 yards and
you've rushed for 100 yards in a game and you go. Oh, they're
a great running team and I want to go now when they hand them
off to the running back.
I mean again, they fall Apart. After the first drive,
the first 15 where they have a few little, you know, wrinkles or
the defense is getting used to how to play the Ravens and
after that, it becomes non-existent. So I think all of
it kind of plays together
and yeah, Lamar did not play his best but like I said their
offense and there was a few plays I wanted to show here but
we didn't have great angles of the coverage on like the TV
cuts and stuff to go, like look here. He's trying
to throw this guy, but they got four guys around it and that's
not helping, let alone. He's not helping himself. To which
we do have a number of plays, I think for yeah, let's start out
halfway through the first quarter third down and
six, I think Lamar is going to get picked here. Well, let me
know again, maybe the biggest play of the game. Really? When
you look back at it.
It's an all-out Blitz. Look,
you know, it's five on five and six
Five Guys. Cover in five guys,
and you got six pass rushers against five blockers.
That's all it is.
And, you know, again, this is
reared, its ugly head in Baltimore a lot. Lat.
And what I don't understand here and, you know, and
basically what we're going to do here is you're going to have
Andrews, running the post down the middle,
and Hollywood Brown on the shallow cross.
Okay, against this blitz
and you're going to see
first off. I don't know, why is eyes go over there. You can see
in. I mean that would like what what's over here that's going
to be the answer. He's running if you throw
the ball to him. He's going to get hit
right, you know, the A route up top,
you know again, you can see the route at the top of the screen.
He's playing inside leverage. It's an all-out blitz. So if he
stops or do anything, he's going to be ready to jump it.
He's thinking the balls, got to come out quick. Okay,
so there's really no answers. I don't understand why he's
looking over there. Here comes TJ W. I understand that. But
what I really want to show everybody is like here.
This is why this guy is running this route.
It's for this right here,
you know, on this specific play.
Hey post. In the middle are good against all out Blitz, but
not the way they switch release this. It doesn't work out quite
the same and this play shallow. Crossroads all-out Blitz.
I can guarantee you since training camp. They told hey
you get hot. Look for your shallow cross, get the ball out
of your hand. All right,
for some reason.
He'd ever really gets his eyes to Hollywood Brown
now. He sees TJ W bearing down on them
and he tries to make a miss
and
Yeah, it's just makes a horrible decision. Horrible.
Yeah. Horrible.
And you know, and in games like this, just threw it up for
grabs and mean, it's scoreless in the first quarter. This
the first drive of the game. If you ground, it, you kick a field
goal, kick a field goal
against the team that we know is struggling at offense,
you know, threw a hail Mary Rose. I just threw a hail Mary
exactly, right? So, you know that, that of course was a
chance for Baltimore to get up. Get some momentum,
you know, add a few more points on the board
and just a really bad play by Lou.
Jackson definitely is worst play of the day
for sure and it came early and
would be costly later on. Yeah, or how about that? Not Alomar
interception, but Alomar incompletion
third quarter. Now, halfway through
third down and four and once again
in Pittsburgh, I, you know, inside the Pittsburgh 20-yard
line. Yeah. I mean, again, here we go.
We got
quarters coverage. All right, it's quarters as third and
four, Boum, Boum, Boum Boum. Okay.
It's going to be over here.
Or I let me just make sure I want to make sure they don't.
All right, so it's just like quarters and it's quarters
carry. All right, sorry,
so
he's going to carry him up. The seam
this guy is going to carry the receiver up the seam But
ultimately what this play is the exact call for this defense
is exactly what you wanted. So with all that I just talked
about hitch,
hitch,
go, go clear. That guy out.
These guys can get in the way
you're going to create a one-on-one
with Devin Bush
and your number one part passing Target and Mark
Andrews. It's they're going to run a jerk route. This is,
I mean, this is what you want. This is why you call the play.
All right. And here you go.
I mean, here we are now, say, so you got a good feel for
everything. We got, right? It's quarters across the board.
There's nothing, he's carrying this guy just in case he could
tries to run a beater. They're not going to let you run
the little
Well, you know, seem vertical beater and cross the face of
the, the safeties and give an issue there. So, here you go.
You got one on one.
It's going to run a little stutter
and then come across. He runs a jerk wrap, the called a jerk
rap because you're supposed to make this guy look like a jerk.
All right, and it's because you can do
sit down and curl up. You can fake that way and break back
out, you can fake out and go back across. He gives a little
stutter and
He's open. I mean again, this is the NFL that's open. It's
a first down. Throw it on them. Didn't even look at him though.
Thank you.
That's exactly what I don't understand. Like
he looks at him like, right. I may be I don't know if he looks
at them there or not. I don't know what he's looking at here.
It almost looks like he was looking at this guy thinking
I might get that down the middle of the field. If he really was
looking at Andrews. He would have liked what he saw.
I realize. Yes, right. I don't know why. You're exactly right.
So there
he is eyes here. Never gives
A chance. All right, and
boom
throws it out here to a guy who has nothing to worry about as
far as a killer Witherspoon
other than this guy because this guy is basically doubled.
So he's not worried about him at all. Not at all. It's him
and watch when he throws. I want everybody to watch to. So
this is just if you want to throw this ball, you take get
the ball, set hut,
take a drop, and you go right to it,
right? You don't go. Let me look somewhere else and then go
late over in the flat to my running back versus a corner.
That's not that's a recipe for disaster.
But what I want everybody to watch here
is watch.
Watch. I love Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews his body language
here
because he's going way, this ball is coming to me. I'm gonna
get the first down. Everybody watch him right here in
the middle of the screen, and when the ball doesn't go his way
watch put Cesaro. I've got gives you the old head. I wish
you could continue to see it
on the Watch this film. And if you put me back on camera,
I mean the ball goes incomplete, he turns around and he's like,
it's like
this is why they pay. This is why I'm one of the highest-paid
times in football, but he on Devin Bush and I did my job.
I did his job open.
And again leaves an opportunity for them to get the first down,
maybe score a touchdown, and put a not good, Pittsburgh
offense. And at uncomfortable position.
Let's go later. Third quarter, one minute left. Its now
Ravens up 10 3. This is third down and ten third down and
ten.
I'm all right. It's a little bit similar to what we talked
about on the first play. All right, it's all out. Once
again, all out again, and what we've learned from all out. The
last few weeks, right? When you start to see this look
as a quarterback right there,
the old picket fence,
you know, like wait, something's up, something's up.
And of course you see. Here's the other seven, guys. At
the line of scrimmage all coming. They're all coming. And you
know, sometimes when you do these seven guys, like we
talked about before guys end up,
In the same Gap to where, even though
there's only six blockers,
they kind of eat each other up
and
you'll see here.
He's got great pass protection. He's got great pass protection.
And within that, this is how they're covering. This is. It's
also a
good disguise, but you should know. This is a quarterback.
What this means right here, but what they're really doing here.
Let me just make sure I got it right. It's man there,
minkos man here on Mark Andrews and Edmonds is actually
covering this guy.
All right? Yes, so there's a little knowledge of them
obviously going wait. I think they're going to come across
the
Field. All right one,
he's 20 yards away. He's 20 yards away.
But his eyes if you can see them, they're right over there
and it's hard to really see on this cut again,
but you can see he's going over there.
All right? You, did you see him in the cover? The corner of
your eye, right? He's going over there, and he's going to
end up going down on
on little bit or over towards him, to cut him off in
the shallow cross. Now. There's two things here,
one.
like,
Why are we leaving the pocket? That's the first thing I want
to say Pockets. Good like you want to fade away a little bit
or do something like that. Sure,
but why out? And why run out to the right?
And the other thing is
like he has inside leverage on Minka Fitzpatrick
with this safety who comes down and you know, you just got to
trust me or go watch coaches film on NFL Game Pass. Trust
me. He's here. He's going to break across minka's face on
the post route. And if you just Fades away like we talked about
or just stays
on his back foot you could just throw
Ball up and you're going to get a big play
and instead he leaves the pocket too early. You know, now
he's trying to make something happen. He actually almost gets
a completion here. Unbelievably. Oh, but here we
go. I forgot we had this angle.
All right. So now you don't have to believe me. You can
just see it for yourself. Here we go.
Look see what I mean. He's here
pocket still clean.
Just hang in there
and you're going to be able to throw this. Look, you don't
have to worry about him because his bright lights are all over
that guy. Just
Does he open II know
says I mean look and this is what this routes for.
Again. I've been coached by too many people, whether it's Josh,
McDaniels or Jon Gruden. Whoever
this is what that route is there for.
You want to be able to
okay, the pockets good cut to me on camera if you can
Pockets good. All right. I know they're coming. It's an all-out
Blitz.
Boom. Just throw it up by that's all you gotta do. Yes,
all you gotta do, you know what item is that? Feeling is
a quarterback.
They're bringing 7.
Sure. I'm going to have to run away from it. Right? I think
so, I think you just at times. Yeah, you get that and you
predetermined and think they're not going to be able to protect
me here,
you know, but
he looks at the rush
and looks like he has like, he sees like nobody's there.
I mean, I don't know. I just I'm surprised he left so early but
you're right. He is so open. He being Andrews.
You could back up and flick it 50 yards and just you know,
get it out there because
it doesn't have to be a perfect.
It passed. Yes. It just has to be thrown. It's right. It's
like it's a Derek. Carr. Did it. The Ravens week one.
I think two different times. Yes, the same type of thing. Yeah.
On this field. Yeah. It was,
no, it was at home in Vegas.
But Derek Carr. Derrick, Carter. He did it through
a deep post against the Steelers shoe. You're right, but it
wasn't against all out. Okay, you're right, but we did, we
talked about that play.
Yeah. Memory by you for a 50 year old.
But yeah, but this, this to me, they're going to continue to
see this because they just seem to screw it up every week
especially if that's the response, exactly, right?
Yeah, well, people are going to go wait. I don't know about
their answers and I don't know if Lamar really recognizes
what's going on and I think we have that the, the final play
of the game. The
two-point conversion. It's 22:19. Yeah, there it is.
10:19. It was a great call. Almost,
almost went with the
Ravens would break, all great call and to add to it.
Hey, of course, TJ W makes things. He did ugly and tough
here, right? It's going to be 1 2 3, 4 5.
Six coming. All right.
It's
Man,
man,
man.
Now Pittsburgh smart, they're not going to do like what
Seattle does. The Jamal Adams and always put their guys in
like just an unwinnable position, right?
So within this right, he's going to give it a little run,
fake.
All right. Andrews is going to come out the back door here.
Like this, right? Well, Pittsburgh's
to well-coached on defense to go.
That's real. Stick to ask this guy to go over there and cover
them because of course if they run anything like this, right?
He's going to get picked and it's going to be a slam dunk
completion.
So what they do is they have a call
and it ends up being
if this guy crosses the formation
Devin bush is the one that's going to be responsible for
getting him. Now he messes up. He doesn't get it and that's
why you're going to see Mark Andrews wide open.
All right, but you'll see the reaction after
to show you, you know, yeah, he's worried about the run. You
get that
right? So Bo Umm,
and that this is, I mean, of course this is the guy that
makes the play because he didn't bite on the Run fake at
all at all. And he knows he doesn't have to because he's
probably knows we got the blitz front side.
I'm just going to let those guys run after the running back.
I'm going to take Lamar unless they do some quarterback
quarterback play or quarterback run
and that pressure,
of course. Look. I mean Lamar's not expecting is like, oh my
gosh, gets the ball.
Just misses the throw. I mean, just misses it and Here, we got
Devon Bush running. Right?
And I want to, I want I want, I hope we can see it on here
because admins, turns around and bushes, like, oh my gosh,
because there and they talk like, dude you. Yeah. That was
you.
Yeah, and you know, Devin bush is a little bit like thank you
for saving my ass. Holy crap. I almost became the bad guy. But
yes, you know all in all it was his job to
see this guy come across and he's got to be in the flat
because again, you can't realistically ask him to cover
across the field. Like Like that and
missed Opportunity by the Ravens, you know, again
and
a big win for the Steelers. I think want had had three and
a half sacks that tangible part of what he did.
He didn't pick up any numbers there, but he altered that
throw just a night with Roost, at sitting at those two points,
right? Yes. Yes. That's the playoffs at right. There you
go.
That's what that is.
You know,
the way he's the reason the ball was off Target. Amar had
to get it off quicker than he wanted to. So great job by him.
