Inspired by @NickiJhabvala, I wanted to go through and highlight some of the reads these backs are making and hopefully highlight how smooth they were in their protection. Good coaching in the position room. They’ll be running a lot of 2/3 Jet pass concepts that need this. https://t.co/fxo445AWVj pic.twitter.com/RW75xcUhDg

One thing I’ve loved so far from Bieniemy is that all of the Man/Zone read concepts have little indicators built in to give the QB context clues, which streamlines the post-snap process. Whether it’s by bunch, alignments, Shacking, or motion, it makes life easier for all 11. https://t.co/c2GFFynHli

It’s not just being lazy and trying to just rely on basic motions for man/zone clues that aren’t dependable nowadays. It’s using subtle tools that provide clearer alignment reads to tell a much better story about coverage intent. All of which allows the QB to have efficient eyes.

Ravens pass off the HB Rail to negate the friction intended to beat M/M and, as a result, they cover Piano perfectly. This concept and Maestro are likely going to be staples for Washington as they develop a young QB. They’re simple Progression + Alert reads with inside triangles. https://t.co/JELLaGqzuE pic.twitter.com/roNIvwvklC

For anyone interested in the finer details of this offense and some of the coaching points of it for the QB, I compiled my diagrams relative to it in this folder. https://t.co/vC9NodWhkQ

At the end of the Commanders’ practice at Joint Base Andrews, they had a young fan join to score the last TD. Players went nuts and did the Griddy with the boy afterward.
Eric Bieniemy said he didn’t even need to tell the boy to “finish” his run.
“Didn’t have to. He already… pic.twitter.com/7yve6c6CBX

49ers’ GM John Lynch on trading QB Trey Lance to the Cowboys: pic.twitter.com/t6IL07FC55

It’s official. The 49ers decision to give up 3 first round picks to move up and draft Trey Lance is THE WORST DRAFT DAY MOVE OF ALL TIME. Only reason Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch aren’t fired is they hit on the last pick of last year’s draft in Brock Purdy. Now Trey has been…

The #49ers famously gave up three 1st round picks and a third to the Dolphins as part of the Trey Lance trade.
The Dolphins turned those picks into Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb and Channing Tindall.https://t.co/XrkyAPbg8Ohttps://t.co/L3bDFpbCE2 pic.twitter.com/UcZxxuT57X

Ultimately the #49ers paid $27.85 million and three 1st round and one 3rd round picks for Lances’ 4 starts and a 4th round pick from Dallas. Woof….

It’s not what you think it is.
Especially in relation to @Dak.
