 Everybody wants to know where Cowpich is. Well, let's talk about some of these Cowpichs that's in game that makes them special. He is in the slot. Now, he affects the game in so many ways, even when he does not have the football. Now, in this particular route, he's gonna do a good job of going vertical, and he's gonna run a little skinny post. Your mid bird's gonna come up here, he's gonna run an inside curl route, and now this is where the mid bird's gonna make a big time playing score touchdown. But it's all because of what happens on the inside with Cowpich. Now, what he does is he affects so many people on this plate. He affects this guy, he affects this guy, and he leaves a huge void for the mid bird right here when he catches this particular route. Let's watch how it ends up. Now, watch at the top of his route. He keeps his guy vertical. It's important to keep this guy vertical because now he keeps his feet flat. Now, watch this safety as we continue to run this plate. Boom, look at his safety's eyes. He's gonna ride a Cowpich. He's affecting two people right now with this inside route. Now, because of that, this safety should be here, but he's not, now you're gonna have a huge void to throw the football. And now, two guys, look at that. Two guys there, big catch by the mid bird, ultimately comes a touchdown because all the emphasis was on where's Cowpich, where's number eight, the mid bird gets the touchdown. Again, I keep talking about things that Cowpich does inside the route to make himself available to the quarterback. Here he is, he's gonna run a inside slant route on the outside. But the most important thing on this route is, you're gonna watch what he does at the snap. You're gonna get some play action up here, which could be a run, could be a throw, more of an RPL type thing. And Mario likes it. Look at all this grass he has out here to throw this little slant on the outside. But what he does at the top of this route, and beginning is right here, he kinda stalls it out. He kinda comes out like he's walking, and it kinda lulls this guy to sleep with his route. Watch him come out, and he's gonna lull him to sleep, and then he's gonna burst onto the scene here. Watch his route at the top right here. Watch him beginning here. Watch him lull him to sleep here. Now look at this guy, he's flat footed right now. Now he creates so much room in here to throw the football, lulling this guy to sleep, and then he's gonna explode in here on the slant here, and come out of it, boom. Now Big Body throw another big time catch here. Watch him from the beginning one more time. This is just incredible the things he's doing on the outside. Most receivers don't even do this, but he understands lull this guy to sleep, and then explode out of it another big time catch by Kyle Pitts. Thank you guys for joining me. I am DJ Shockley. This has been Falcon's Film Review, powered by Microsoft Surface. Let's talk about the details in which Kyle Pitts plays with. This is the touchdown pass to Kyle Pitts. He's gonna be right here off the edge. Now the number one thing here is that Falcon's gonna go hard play action here. Hard play action, and they're gonna get these backers to come up. But to sell it, Kyle has to come in here and has to initiate the block like he's blocking him. And the other best thing he does here, when he slips, he slips away from the defender who was here. Let's watch how this play unfolds. You get the hard play action here and watch what Kyle Pitts does at the top. Nice job of selling it. This looks like a block. This looks like he's trying to seal the edge and looking Mario. The nice job of showing the football and looks like run and watch these guys watch him. He's gonna end up coming up. But this is the guy that, that Mario and Kyle Pitts has to beat. This is, he's gonna come right here. But if he goes this way, this guy has a better chance of breaking his ball up. He stays flat and away from the defender. Now you get a touchdown. Nice job of the details for Kyle Pitts. Now here's another big time play here from Kyle Pitts. Now the foul is brought, tight end down in motion and it keeps outside leverage on this guy. This is supposed to be a skinny post right here that goes at this angle towards this safety. And you can hear him already talking about what's going on because of what Kyle Pitts out here by himself. And but the best thing he does on this right is, instead of going at this angle, he goes flat. Because if he goes at this angle, the safety will break it up and it'll be a nickel plate pass. Now watch at the top of this right here. Hard play action again, come up, boom. Now this is the angle that he should be going. The safety is already about to drive on this particular play. But if Kyle Pitts doesn't take this flat, he doesn't catch this football. He understands there's a safety here and he understands that he has to be available for the quarterback and watch him get flat here. Now look at this, this is flat. This angle is supposed to be here. Think about it, if he goes upfield this way, this safety breaks it up, it's an incomplete pass. But because he goes flat to the line of scrimmage, he gives the quarterback a big body throw here, ultimately ends up in a big time completion. Again, the details from Kyle Pitts and his route running allows him to catch that football. All right, I love this play here from Kyle Pitts. This just gives this quarterback an opportunity to throw the football to him where he can run after catch. You're gonna get an outside release, you're gonna get a post route. Now on the inside, Kyle's gonna run a good job of running a corner route, but he has a good job of kind of just selling in this little voided area right over here in the zone. It's gonna be a big voided area right here in the zone. Your back's gonna come out here in the flat to hold a flat defender, but watch what he does when he comes out of this route. Now look at all this room. This is being cleared out by the post. Now comes the corner route and instead of just coming out of this full speed running to the sideline, where he'll probably run out of bounds, he kind of throttles down in his zone right here, throttles down and gives this guy Mario the chance. Look at him throttle down right here. Now this creates so much room on the sideline for him to be able to turn it up. You got a flat defender, you got a deep third defender, good job, Mario, to read it out and watch him settle in the hole here. Now you got a chance for run after catch when he gets another 10 yards after the catch. Watching one more time. The subtleness coming out of this break and just sell it down. Now coming out of that full speed under control ultimately ends in more yards out of the catch. Any big time play again by Kyle Pitts. Now this last play is Kyle's gonna go on his orbit motion. Mario does a good job of climbing in the pocket and finding them. They're in what's called quarters covered. So this guy has a quarter of the field. This corner has a quarter of the field. The guy who should be in the flat out here is this linebacker. He should be right in the flat where Kyle Pitts is gonna end up catching his football. But he does such a good job of running, of field this way. He's trying to hold him off. So now you have a huge void over here where Kyle Pitts can end up. And it's just as simple what you like. Getting him the ball in space and let him do what he can do. Now here it is. Here's the quarters covers. Quarters, quarters. This guy is trying to hold him off but there's no need to because there's a safety here. He's gonna take number two. This guy should be in the flat but when they don't, you make them pay. And here's Kyle out here in the flat all by himself. Now watch these yards after catch. This is what you can do when you get him the ball in space. Catching the football. Now bricks a couple of tackles. Now you see that's less of them. This is what you like from Kyle Pitts. Getting him out of space and just let him do his thing. This is why Kyle Pitts has been so important to the Falcons when he doesn't have the ball but even more when he does. Well, thank you guys for joining me here on Falcons Freedom Review.
