Offseason All22 Film Study

Lots of snaps for QP in this game. He was mainly used at the 'X' WR position, but also lined up in the slot a few times. The X position is usually by himself on the weakside of the formation, also split wide. The X works by himself without the help of any route combination to compliment his route. Once Shareece Wright got a concussion and went out of the game, QP lined up across from Steve Willams a lot, who I guess is the backup CB.

Patton vs Shareece Wright; Sail concept vs Cover 1


If it's zone coverage, QP's route works to remove the deep 1/3 defender. It's man coverage so QP is asked to beat his man 1v1. QP swats away SW's hands but fails to get any separation on a Go/fade route.


Pass incomplete to the short flat (Ellington).

Kap looked like he panicked once he saw the blitz. Looked like he could have slid down to the right and hit Gore after he chopped down the linebacker.

the guy who was chopped would have been in Kaeps face, RT screws up the play

Looks like SD trying to play prevent defense lol. Not sure what's the situation. They are giving us too much respect to our downfield speed.

I included the down and distance in all these cut ups. It's in the screenshot (yellow text). Kap didn't do anything wrong here. He made a nice, short completion to Boldin on first down.

No, I didn't think Kaep did anything wrong either. More of an observation on the SD defense

Looking at that play in totality, it looks like at the top you have almost like a smash variation and on the bottom it looks like a sticks concept almost. I wonder if the back was suppose to check it up and act like how the TE acts in a sticks concept. Just seems weird to have two flat routes in the same area.

Yeah, somebody messed up on that. They don't usually drawn up plays with 2 out on the flat. There could be any combination for the TE and RB. I would have put the RB releasing like he did, but in front of the LBs on a crossing route towards the top. If Boldin some how gets covered. That RB would be right in line from where Kaep is looking to get a short gain underneath.

We ran the sticks concept a lot under harbs. I'm just wondering if they where trying something with the back running that traditional "Y or TE" route in that concepts. Problem from during it from the backfield is you don't get the needed vertical stretch from the Y receiver route and the flat route.


Looking at the bottom of the '14 play it kinda looks like the concept on the right side of this diagram.

If it is, then it looks like the 'y' guy didn't release far enough downfield. He went 3 yrds then heads to the flat

Yea, running the Y route from the backfield doesn't give enough of a vertical stretch if you keep the yards that route is usually run (6 or so yards). From the backfield, it ends up only being 1 yard past the LOS. The problem is if you adjust for the 5 yards the HB is behind the LOS and have him run the route at like 11 yards, nor you've screwed up the timing of the concept. I'm wondering if he back was suppose to shift up near the LOS and give an empty look.

The problem was Anthony Davis got beat.

Week 17
QP played 26 offensive snaps and had 1 target in this game. He was mainly matched up with Antonio Cromartie as the X WR.
Here's his target in the game.
Slide right (flood) versus cover3


Concept side, ARI plays it well. QP's route is beaten as the CB sees Kap roll right. This usually means the backside WR is also flowing play side.


QP breaks back to the sideline. Very uncommon for a WR to do this. The CB loses QP.


Because of Kap's strong arm, the entire field is in play.


Some production, but this was like 95% Kap.

QP Go/Fade versus ACromartie
3 verticals versus Cover1


QP wastes no time (no stutter steps) and takes an outside release. The CB mirrors and stays in QP's face.




Not much separation until QP comes back to help a scrambling Kap.

Looks like Boldin shook his man in the slotand had some space ahead of him. Kap had a throwing lane there to.

And wht the f**k was the AZ MLB who vacated that running space doing?

Slide right versus Cover3 with pattern match
QP running a deep cross


Maybe QP could have read the soft spot and slowed down in the middle of the field.

lol idk. Hmm spy Kap or cover a 49er RB in the flat? Good choice.
