I can't believe it wasn't a TD as well.

Buccaneers running a 2-Roll NTT (Tampa) vs. the 49ers for an interception.

Another example of a "trap" CB & coverage disguise giving Mac Jones trouble vs. Tampa Bay.

Buccaneers running a Mike simulated pressure with 2-Roll coverage (NTT) vs. the 49ers.

One central element within the Bucs' game plan was the use of "trap" coverages against Mac Jones.

The QB struggled all game, seeing the coverage disguise & the CBs playing hard in the flats.

Punch the pocket!!!

This was an insane play from the past weekend.

Maybe the most well-timed Peanut Punch I've seen... 💥

His ball side elbow is too high.

The ball needs to be at a 45 & he needs the other arm on top, making an X.

There is a greater emphasis on teaching ball disruption.

One of the good things analytics has given us.

Teach the skills to get the ball back...

Giants running an Inverted 2 (Tampa/NTT) with a Tex Stunt by Burns (0) for a sack vs. the Eagles.

👉 Tex = T-E or DT 1st (COP) / DE 2nd (loop)

One evolution within the Broncos defense over the past few weeks has been Joseph's use of Hufanga as a blitzer.

Just got the sack on Fields & has disrupted a few runs as a blitzer..
