tiamat63 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 On 12/16/2022 at 7:44 PM, Kvoethe said: Wtf kevin does this mean?? Let me try to tackle this one while I look over some of the spreads for the upcoming games. Under Stef, from Minnesota to CLE, he is a coach versed deeply in the intricacies and philosophy of the outside zone running game. The largest little caveat to that, is focusing on a running game that begins from under center. With the advent of the RPO and pre-snap sight adjustments in the NFL, I mentioned Watson's ability brings another foundational type piece that this team AND coaching staff is going to take finding their call percentage and tendency with - the split zone RPO game from the gun. But those designs are almost exclusively based on the vertical zone running game. So it's taking a coach, who has tailored his offense and personnel one way, and giving him a QB who has a great amount of production in a young and short career, but with the strongest part of his game being a bit different than what Stef has done for so long. It's a bit of a 'learning process', for lack of a better phrase, for both of them. Stef has already incorporated those types of calls, we saw it several times last night with Deshaun on the read and I think one RPO? But also this means Deshaun is going to have to, for his benefit and the benefit of the offense as a whole whether he realizes it or not, learn how to efficiently work from under center in a wide zone running scheme and the natural passing designs built off of that foundation. So we have a coaching staff who has been forced to call and design games a certain way the last 2 & 1/2 years, but now have a weapon where they won't have to be as limited or 'structured' in their vertical passing game, with more time for a proper development and deployment. Stef isn't the most articulate, and there's a lot to unpack from that type of quote. So don't completely take it at face value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" "Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (left) as Hannah McNair (center) looks elsewhere on the field on Dec. 4, 2022.Twitter/Charles Robinson Hannah stood on the field wearing a purple dress and matching shoes, which included the logos of the Houston Area Women’s Center — a facility serving local victims of sexual and domestic violence — as part of the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats campaign." "In addition to Hannah, Watson received an icy reception from Houston fans, who showered their former quarterback with boos as the Browns defeated the Texans, 27-14." ***************************************************** Regardless, watson is a high caliber athlete - if he wins games wit the Browns, I'm happy for the players.

tiamat63 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 While I'm not the disciple of RAS like some are, that doesn't mean I ignore them entirely. Pre-draft, I was asked about Kyle Hamilton. While there were parts to his game that I really liked, I saw him less as the next Harrison Smith and more of a laterally limited Weakside/walkout type backer. Fun enough, that's almost exactly how the Ravens have used him this season. A use that was pretty glaring when I went back to watch the Browns v Ravens coaches film. @Unsympathetic I'm going to tag you in this because you posted his RAS which lead us to the conclusion that his short area burst, specifically sideline to sideline, was a real problem. Good on you for posting that first, because this is what that weakness looks like played out on an NFL field. There are only two real critiques I have with the following play. 1 - Chemistry and lack of time with Deshaun in this offense. Which, really is what it is. 2 - DPJ reading DB's leverage wrong. He should have snapped this off a bit sooner and over his inside shoulder which would have lead him away from Humphrey. That would have made him a viable option and net an 'explosive' passing play (12+? yards) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd play..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These two plays highlight some things. - Credit to the coaching staff, and the assistants who run these sorts of things up the ladder to the offensive staff. The quality assistants and the unsung heroes. They knew how the Ravens would deploy Kyle in their base and nickel sets. They also had ideas on how to attack him. In this case - as mentioned above, either by putting him in assign conflict like I showed in the first play was, or taking advantage of his lack of short area burst by making him cover your primary in the passing game evidence by the 2nd play. A big 3rd down conversion to Coop. - This also shows a focus on matchup and weakness tendency by the coaching staff in their weekly preparation. This is why the "fire stef" crowd needs to slow their role. Him and his group do a fantastic job, most of the time, with their opening scripts and 1st half designs. I will admit though, his deficiency as a coach which needs improvement are the adjustments before the counter has been delivered. You don't need to have the deepest bag, but if you hit your 4i once or twice correctly but it's gone to shit on the back 9, then you need to drop to that 5iron and climb on that instead. Golf analogy and I'm dealing with winter, sue me. - Goes to show why elite short area burst is so vital in the NFL. From defensive line, to receivers to DB's. As coach Billichek said, this game isn't played in a straight line. Hamilton gives the Ravens some nice abilities and tools to work with, but with those tools comes disadvantages they'll have to overcome as a coaching staff and he'll have to work to minimize as a player. Sadly we don't play the Ravens again this season, so you're going to have to file this away for next year. But if Baltimore chooses to expand Kyle's role this offseason, despite being exploited in his limited deployment his rookie year, then they're going to end up with a DB situation similar to what we saw with Grant Delpit for the better part of 2022. And with the advent of a gun based RPO going to be more heavily featured in Cleveland starting next training camp, the Browns coaches are going to go back to the film well, see Kyle and say "that's where we'll start drawing things up with" yet again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
