    It's simple. Run more play-action.

    It’s so interesting to see the stats and understand the whole perspective of balancing play action with the run game. Really helpful video!

    I think an important element to this is also the look of the offense formation and personnel wise pre-snap in that it's similar to previously ran run plays, pairing a series of plays together to not tip their hand. I get the argument for more play action, but I look at games like the Rams/Patriots superbowl, the Titans/Ravens in last year's playoffs, this year's first Jets/Patriots matchup, and others and wonder if the defensive adjustments to heavy play action teams done in those games will be applied more in the future to continue this "trends coming and going" cycle that has and always will be in football.

      This is how I became very good at Madden...all my pass plays were out of my run formations. It's a interesting chess match aspect to the game....I could be setting up a PA Go for 3 quarters and strike it.

    I remember the Bill Walsh 49ers used pap relentlessly.
    In the early years of Walsh's tenure, guys would be wide open. I kept hearing it was because of this play action pass philosophy.

    It really helps if the run game is on point, the Safeties will have to come closer to the line of scrimmage

    This may be a ridiculous question but, is the Yankee concept the same as the burner concept? Or are there some nuances that make them differ?

    • @WeeklySpiral
      @WeeklySpiral  3 роки тому +1

      I'd say Burner is a little closer to the Sail concept than Yankee, especially if the back does check to flats and create those three levels on one side of the field. Where burner has a burst corner or pylon route with that inside stem before breaking out, Yankee's signature is attacking the middle of the field and replacing the middle field safety. If you're staying in Shanahan's playbook, I'd say Heat is closer to his version of Yankee

    There are also three things that can happen when a team runs the ball. Two of those are bad too. 😉

    Imma big Staley fan but the whole physicality concept just feels like a bunch of vague coach speak… is the idea that if you pass with optimal ratios that your team will forget how to run block bc they are no longer “physical” bc they don’t run block as often? Is there no physicality on any given pass play as well? I think situationally there are instances where you should run the ball but this interpretation of physicality just feels like unquantifiable nonsense.

    Not so much in Madden, I get sacked every time running a play action and the defense never bites.

    Wow! Would you look at that... a complete waste of time! You really did not have to make this video.. but I guess more people watch football than think about it.
