dawg just watch jeffery simmons lmfao

single-handedly blows this play up

The Texans have allowed the most unblocked pressures in the NFL this season (63). I suppose one of the reasons for this is how much they use these bunch sets. Bunch sets allow you to be more creative as a passing offense but it also opens you up to unexpected quick pressure like this.

drake maye getting depth on a boot to give himself space against the free rusher who he's blind to, and changing his arm angle to hit the sit in the space vacated by the apex defender

Braden Fiske is a little undersized and can get washed out against the run but boy is he a weapon on these stunts. So explosive.

the accuracy isn't always 100% for Maye but the ball placement is good. Love how he puts this on the right shoulder of Henry away from Darious Williams driving on it to get some extra YAC and protect him from a hit.

something so impressive about Drake Maye has been the way he handles pressure in college and now in the league. This delayed blitz would confuse a lot of rookies, but Maye hangs in and knows he just needs to buy enough time to allow Pop to clear Hoecht as the hook dropper.

The Rams have been using receivers like Puka, Robert Woods, Skorwronek, etc. on plays like this for years now. Pseudo-full backs who release between the tackles like a lead blocker and then get into good matchups with linebackers in open space.
