 Here's Ryan on a bootleg back to his right. Matt gonna look, Pitts is wide open. Kyle the wide open catch 37, thrown down at the 34 and another Atlanta first down in Dallas territory. Hey there Falcons fans, welcome to Falcons Film Review. Powered by Microsoft Service, I'm DJ Shockley and I wanna break down a couple things that happen in that Dallas Cowboys game and show you why the Falcons office is starting to get to the level where you want them to be, but it has to be more consistent. But let's start with this good play here that we have with Kyle Pitts here on this over route. So here's where you start. You start in 12 personnel, which is two tight ends and one back. Here's your two tight ends here. You got Kyle Pitts, you got Hayden Hurch right here. She also got one back, which is Cordell Patterson here. You start in a five wide set. So now this is giving a look to the defense like this is automatic pass and then you don't know what's gonna happen next. On the snap here it is, they change now. So you go on from one entire completely formation to another complete formation here. Now you get into the bunch set. Here's Kyle on the backside. And now what you're gonna run here is the neck and boot leg here. You're gonna fake this outside zone and you're gonna release back this way from Matt Ryan. Now here's Kyle Pitts on the over route. Kyle Pitts is gonna come through here and run the over route this way. On the other side, what really works and why this helped is because you got this bunch set, the guy that really seals it is Hayden Hurch right here. He's gonna seal this defensive end which allows Matt to get around the corner and have free access and nobody in his face. And the routes are coming out here. You got a little flat route here by the inside guy. And on the top guide you're gonna have a corner route. And remember you have Kyle Pitts coming across here on an over route. Now as the play gets started I'm gonna show you exactly, boom, there's a seal. Heals, Hayden Hurch on the seal route. So usually this guy comes up feeling he gets in the face of the quarterback and he doesn't have time to throw or see what's going on down the field here. But because you have this seal because you put him in position right away because of the bunch set, now you can seal off the edge and now you got a chance to get around the corner. Now you get outside, now you see what Matt has. He has nothing in front of him. Nobody to give him pressure. Here's Kyle Pitts coming across on the over route. They couldn't get in position fast enough. This got the corner out the way. This got the other nickel guy out the way. Now you have free access for Matt to throw this football and a nice easy window and a big time completion there on second down to pick up a first down and also get the ball into one of your playmakers. Love the way started five wide, then came inside to the buzz set. Each guy did their job and now you have a big time completion to one of your playmakers. All right, let's jump on a defensive side of the ball. City Lamb had a big day, but I'm gonna tell you why he had a big day and what happened on some particular routes and concept that allowed him to have this kind of access. Now this is the route here. Here's City Lamb here in the slot. He's gonna run a corner route to this top side. Now we're in man coverage, but the only thing that hurts the Falcons and hurts us here is here's the guy who hasn't been man coverage. He's already an inside leverage because this guy Dion Jones is over the tight end, but Dion's actually gonna blitz and then they're gonna replace. This is the guy who's gonna replace the guy that's carrying him. He's gonna cut to whoever comes across on the shallow cross. So it could be this tight end or it could be lamb. It just depends on who goes inside first. Now you're gonna get a little outside route here that's gonna get the corner out of the way. Now you have nothing but field and grass to throw this football. Now here's the other thing to look at. This is a tight split. So because this is such a tight split in this burn set, it leaves so much room over here to throw the football on this corner route. And because we're in man, this guy has him and he's gonna be out of place and you get the corner out coming behind him versus inside leverage, which is not as good. This is the way you're supposed to play it because you have this leverage on this corner, but you see once the play gets started, City Lamb's gonna come out here. Boom, there's, now you see the leverage. The leverage is inside. Now if he was outside, he would fall him into this guy. But because of the coverage, this is the proper way to play it. You see, he's playing inside leverage as well because he has to cover all this and he has everything coming to the inside. You cannot get beat across your face. And that's why he's playing inside leverage. So this is just the perfect call for the Cowboys versus what the Falcons are playing in this corner route. And look how much room he had to throw this football and how much area he had to come down with. And it makes it an easy pitch and catch for the Cowboys. So just a well-designed play, a nice job of them putting that formation with all the room to work on the outside. And unfortunately for us, we was in inside leverage and not able to get a good play on the corner. Wanna thank you guys for joining me for Falcons Film Review powered by Microsoft Surface.
