 It's time to bring in Coach Dave McGinnis as we go beneath the surface powered by Microsoft. The Bengals are one in two after knocking off the rims on Monday Night Football 19-16. You know Joe Burrow the quarterback. You know the three receivers, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Coach Mack, let's take a look at another weapon who certainly has been a weapon early in this season and I'm talking about running back Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon, the second round pick in 2017, is a very good contact balance runner. What I say when I mean that is he's a powerful runner. He's 220 pounds, very strong in the lowers. He's a nice runner and has got some jump cut ability to him but he also is an excellent receiver. We're going to see that in this first play here. This is a this is a red set and what I mean by red set is you've got a back here, you've got a back here. It's a split back set out of this formation and what you're looking at of the split backs as a defense it presents a problem. You don't know which back is going to be the lead back, which back is going to be over the top back, which back might be the blocker, who's in protection. So what they're going to do is going to take him and they're going to run him this way as the quarterback, as the quarterback reverses out. He's going to fake reverse out and come this way and then throw it to him right down here. So we've got all this. Let's take a look at it and just let it run here and let's take a look. Red set, fake, roll, boot. Watch him run up and down the sideline. Let's stop this a minute here. Now see where the linebackers have started this way. You've got the linebackers moving here, the linebackers moving here. This linebacker here has already started to take a step to the left. He's got to retrace to come back with this back that's a free-releaser. Joe Mixon right up the sideline. Let's take a look at it. They were clearly worried about Jamar Chase being in the backfield. Well, absolutely they were. Okay, that's a red set and normally that's two backs back there. So now let's look at this right here. Now with the motion, watch him move their front. They're running across with this motion. As they run across with this motion, they're going to hand the ball back away from where the motion went. They're handing the ball back away from where the motion went. And again, this is all for eye deception for the linebackers. As a linebacker, this linebacker that is sitting right here looking at this, whether this guy's going to get it frontside, whether he's going to protect this gap, or whether he's going to get it back side and go this way. Once they move the front, they go away from motion. So here we go. Now let's watch Mixon go to work. Jump cut, jump cut, very strong in the lowers, still not down, still not down, still not down. That's Joe Mixon. Run and pass. He's a problem. All right. Cincinnati's defense is outstanding. We know they've got a great pass rusher and Trey Hendrickson. We know that Logan Wilson is an outstanding linebacker. We know DJ Reader at Defensive Tackle is a great run stuffer. The guy who is developing for them, who is becoming a star, is Jermaine Pratt. Jermaine Pratt. Jermaine Pratt in the 2019 draft was a third round draft pick out of North Carolina State, and he has developed as a linebacker from his time in the league. Here he is right here. Now watch him. Watch him. He moves the front. Now when he moves the front, he's going to shift these two people right here. He's going to shift this guy, and he's also going to shift this player over here. Watch him shift it. Here we go. Here we go. Move. Now he goes from a three to a one, from a one to a three. And now here he comes, eat up both of these blockers here, and now he's got a free run to the quarterback. He's a big strong player. Watch him when he gets back there. He sheds off of the chip block, and then he makes a sack. So this guy is an all-around football player for them, and he really, really has developed a lot, a lot, a lot in his three years in the league. All right. First of all, let's talk a little bit about his alignment. He has stacked the shade. We call this stacking the shade where he is, where he is right here. He has stacked. This is his shade. He has stacked this shade. Now watch when he gets the read, he comes across the formation, comes across the formation, and watch his extension when he gets to the blocker. Okay. He's extended here. He's not letting the offensive lineman grab a hold of it. And that's their left tackle, Jedrick Wiltz. Absolutely. He's not letting him grab a hold of him, but he's got extension. He's shedding. This is shock and shed. That's what you do when you're teaching linebackers. So watch him shock and shed, watch him get off, pull the ball out, fumble, bingles ball. Good, complete football player. This guy is a very complete football player, Mike. Good, complete run down on a couple of this since any bingles stars, Coach Dave McGinnis. Thank you, Mike. All right. If I did bad, you'd tell me too, wouldn't you? No, absolutely not. I'd like to.
