 Hey, what's up Falcons fans, I am DJ Shockley. I wanna thank you guys for joining me today. This is Falcons Film Review, powered by Microsoft Surface. Got a couple plays I wanna show you, gonna jump right into it right now and talk about the first play of the game that I thought was really creative from this Falcons offensive. And it starts with 22 personnel. When I say 22 personnel, I'm describing the formation. I'm describing some of the guys on the field and what's in it. This is the personnel here, two tight ends. Here's Kyle Pitts outside. He was hating hers at the tight end. And then you also have two backs in the backfield. So this is 22 personnel. Now to the defense, this looks like a heavy run formation. But the Falcons use it in a pass formation. You can use it multiple ways, but I love the creativity here early in the first play of the game. Also pay attention to this tight split down here by Calvin, really. Because he's in a tight split, it forces his corner back to playoff. Calvin's gonna run a little dig inside here. He's gonna sit down right here in the middle of his void. But there's gonna be play action off to the left. You're gonna get Kyle Pitts to come off and he's gonna seal the backside, which gives Matt some maximum protection here. You see the motion here? It's already got him kind of messed up. Linebackers on different side. Now you get Kyle Pitts here. He's gonna come across and he's gonna seal this backside. The Falcons are gonna go play action to the left and watch these linebackers once you start to play action. Play action here, Matt, look at it. Shoes on the ball, look at all these guys. Coming downhill, downhill. Eyes are even in the backfield for the corner. Now look at this. Because of that tight split, Calvin really has a free release right into this open void. Looks like run. Low hats by the offensive line. Boom, come around. Look, there's a good seal block on the outside by Kyle. Look at this pocket from the inside. Now look at all the room that Calvin has to work with. And even you have quarter of a pattern to come down here in the flat if you need them. Nice, easy decision. The ball is strong right in that window. Now I'm gonna show you on the back end just how good it looks on the backside as well. Good action, good two tight ends. Boom, set back. Now look at these guys. Now they're looking down here looking, okay, it's not run. Let's get back into our pass sets. And boom, look at it. Nice clear pocket, nice easy release and an easy completion. Love the way that it came out and used those different personnel sets. 22 personnel can do runner pass. It's a great way to open the ball game. Let's talk about jail and hurts. He had the ability to really make some plays. He knew he was an athletic guy, but they did a good job of scheming up run plays for him to have some success. Let's talk about the play here that was a big game for them. Then let's just second and 10. Here's what's gonna happen. They wanna run this little inside zone. It's like a little kind of zone rig time to play where he can even hand it off to this guy or he can pull it and come out the backside. But what they do here is a really good job by formation. They put this guy here in a tight split. Remember what I said about Calvin really? In a tight split forces this corner to back off. So now he's no threat in the run game. Here's your extra defender down in the box here who can take away the quarterback if he pulls it. But remember, this guy's in a tight split. He's gonna come down and he's gonna still block him on the edge. Once we have a guy on the back as well, which is Dion Jones, he's gonna have the back. So you think directly, we have this pretty much covered. We got a guy for the running back. We also have a guy for the quarterback. We have it all covered. But the wrinkle is this tight end on the backside here. This tight end becomes an extra blocker when he comes around the edge. Now he's a lead blocker for the quarterback around the edge. Here's the start of play. There's the zone read here. Dion Jones in position. Take away the run, nice job. Now you have Doron Harmer here, ready to take the quarterback in position. Really nice job. But here's one of the egos kind of out skimmed it. Here is the seal block. Here's the extra defender coming around for the extra block here for whoever's out on the outside. Now you get the edge, you get the corner. There's a seal block and you see a big second and 10 run turns into about a 15-yard run. Let's watch it from the backside here. Boom, got everything we want. Dion's for the running back, taking care of that. Here's the extra defender for the quarterback. Well, remember the tight split. Here's the seal block on the outside. And here comes your tired end around to be the extra blocker. Now you have an athletic quarterback on the edge and now you don't have enough guys to defend it. And the first guy who's closer to him is that defender who was playing off because of the tight split. Now, second and 10 becomes a first down and a really nice play by the Philadelphia Eagles. Skimmed it well and just something they had us out doing on that side. DJ Shockley, we want to thank you guys for joining me for Falcons Film Review, powered by Microsoft Surface. We'll see you next week.
