OFFENSE

DEFENSE

SPECIAL TEAMS

Offense- tries to use option in 1st q will abandon if not working works the middle passing game mostly,will hot route alot depending on where your CB is.

Defense- Man. Blitz maybe twice.


Special Teams- Nothing to note

Offense

Stuck with the read option though it wasn't working much. All plays out of shotgun I think. Burned me a few times on deep balls to the far WR on the left, my CBs were getting torched deep. Looked over the middle to the slot a few times. Two curl routes on the outside I think

Defense

First half a lot of zone, cover 3 it looked like. Doesn't blitz much. Had success running the read option and if I had time finding guys deep in the zones. Press coverage in man or backs 10 yards off

ST

nothing

OFFENSE
Braxton Miller is a scrambling beast if you don't spy him. Offensive line mostly gave him a lot of time to pass opening up big scrambling attempts. Not afraid to throw it down the sideline when you show single-high safety coverage (Coverage 1, Coverage 2, Show Blitz looks) and has the stud WR's to be dangerous deep. Read option was held in check. Tight End will be a major part of the gameplan normally. Quick hitters out of the back field when flexed, or flag routes when trips coverage on the opposite side.

DEFENSE
Users the MLB in the middle of the field to take that away. Sound in coverage, you can't really lure him away from your intended target.  Not afraid to run blitz to try and blow the play up. When facing 4 wide, it's mostly Dollar 3-2-6 looks, perhaps opening up the run game. You can use misdirection running away from the heavy side. More man than zone.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Kicker has a boot. Nothing to note on return game.
