Seattle Seahawks week 11 coaches film analysis

The 49ers do call 7 step timing drops, but it is always off play action with additional protection (6 or 7 blockers). Like the deep bomb to Ellington.

These though are what I think of when I'm thinking of a 7 step no playaction in a WCO


Razor


Dagger

I believe we missed a dagger vs ATL. Can't remember if it was a straight drop or had play action.

Gabble gabble. He had a good game. Good decisions. Not a lot of mistakes. Non glaring. I thought he forced the throw to Boldin that was almost INT in the last drive of the game, instead of going to Draughn on dump off to the right, that could've gotten a 1st down, but it was already 29-13. Other than that, he had a nice game. I think he's capable of a much better game though.

Best part of Gabbert against Seattle, we know he can function very well with good decisions against a top defense.

I thought the same thing before watching the film - he made the right read, the underneath defender made a good adjustment. Seattle was in a cover 4 and we ran a streak on the outside with an inside curl to Boldin, the udnerneath defender initially dropped down to Draughn but then backed out to Boldin. From the all-22 Boldin looks open, but the defender jumped into the passing lane late.

They went to the well too often. Defender smelled it out

no I didnt

Sorry for the jumlbed looking play-art, it's a deep crossing concept, sort of, lol.


We run PA out of a "13" personnel. This draws the LB's up and it looks like a slide concept out of the gates.


Gabbert turns his head and keeps his head down the middle of the field. This is really important because it's what's going to draw all the defenders to that side of the field.


As Gabbert looks downfield you see the defenders react to that side. On the backside, our RB turns to receive a pass, this occupies the underneath flat defender on that side. With the corner trailing the TE it's going to open up that side of the field for Celek who's been hiding out.


With a defender running full speed at him, Gabbert delivers the ball downfield to Celek.


It's a completion for 33 yards. Gabbert did a really good job of waiting to look to that side until he had moved the defense with his head. That's something that we've needed against Seattle's zone defense.

you need to do what thl does and give each route it's own color lol

this is a great thread, thank you.

Thank you guys. Look forward to this thread every week. Felt Gabs made mostly good plays, other than the couple miscues with the WRs

To me Gabbert has looked like he can be a solid qb a team can win games with. He just turned 26 so he's still young and he is signed through next year. He's got a really quick release and above average arm strength, he's also a solid athlete who can run for a few first downs a game. Depending on what pick we have I think we let Gabbert start next year as well while we develop a young guy.

His pocket presence is light years better than what it was when he was in Jax. We've only given up 2 sacks in 2 games he's been the starter. I think if we build up our O-line for next year we can re establish our run game with Hyde and add another playmaker at TE or WR. I just don't see any rookie qb this draft that would come in and perform better than Gabbert has, so let's roll with Gabby for the next year and a half and see what we got. Hopefully we can add a really good offense coach like Hue Jackson whose created offense will only make our team better.
Thanks Johnny and THL for the cut ups, I love seeing how Blaine is willing to stand in the pocket and is willing to take the hit while completing the throw.

I wasn't a fan of the QB change but Gabs is getting the ball out fast and ontime... something Kap struggled with.

Gabs is also athletic enough to make plays with his legs. Kinda reminds me of Alex Smith.

More bad run defense because that really was the main point of failure.

The two previous plays show Brooks very uninterested. "Took me a while to get up and get going in this game," Brooks, a 10th-year veteran said.
SEA will run Power again to Brooks' side of the line. LG (red) pulls for the kickout block on Brooks.


On the previous cut up, Brooks side stepped the block and that opened up a huge lane.
The player to watch, though, is Wilhoite. As the Ted LB (strongside ILB), Wilhoite needs to be aggressive in stepping up and meeting the lead block (88) in the hole. As soon as Wlhoite sees the playside guard fire upfield to double team Purcell, it should give Wilhoite a 'run' read. Wilhoite can't be hesitant and wait for the lead block to arrive. Step up and engage to lessen the run lane.


Brooks meets the LG head on, so that's good. But because Wilhoite did not step up to meet the lead block, there is a lane for the RB - the gap between 88 and the LG.


The RB takes the lane that is there, but has to run parallel to the LoS, which is good for the defense. Now it's up to the other defenders to get into their run fits (Ward, Brock).


The real breakdown on this play occurs when Brock gets too far inside and the RB breaks containment.


+20 yards

Almost looks like Brock doesn't realize it is a run play. He pretty heavily commits to following the "slanting" receiver.

Tartt reacted quickly. Reid and Brock were both very slow.

Just one more chunk run play to mention even though there were more.

It looks like some sort of Counter play, maybe a dressed up split zone versus 3-4 base.


The OL steps to the right, even the RB takes a counter step, but this play is designed to go left. Dial does a good job taking on two blockers which leaves Bow free to roam and sniff out the play.


Bow hits the hole to meet the RB.


Rawls breaking ankles.


+17 yards

sad. pre-injury, Bow makes that play 100% of the time.

This is on the second FG drive, the deep throw to McDonald.
3 Verticals vs Cover3 (1v1 man coverage on the backside)


Gabbert looks and pump fakes to the backside - Torrey vs Sherman. I don't know if Gabbert had any real intention of ever targeting Torrey, or if the pump fake was done to draw ET (red) towards that side of the field. Either way, with Sherman playing over the top, Torrey's Go route is defeated.


Both Go routes on the strongside are run at the blue deep1/3 defender (Cary Wiliams) to get a horizontal stretch on him. With blue shading towards Celek, the correct throw is to Vance.


+36 yards. Cary Williams needs to be aware that he has help to the inside (ET). So he should be shading towards Vance.

Of all his throws in the game, I appreciate this one the most. Look off to one side went across and hit McD, pretty much in stride without overthrown or out of bound.

I've rarely seen Alex Smith or Kaep attempted this and actually make a connection. It's usually resulted in the later.

This is the near INT to Draughn.

Quick reference to Celek's 2nd TD catch against ATL, run against Cover3.


To Gabbert's left is a man coverage buster. The two In routes attack outside leverage and draw any man coverage defenders forward for the Corner route (89) to attack inside leverage and the open area in the corner of the end zone.
To Gabbert's right is a zone coverage buster that is identical to how Celek scored his 2nd TD vs ATL.
vs Cover3


Gabbert takes the snap and looks to his right towards the zone buster. Same idea as how Celek scored against ATL. Draughn's route draws forward the blue defender to buy a passing lane to Celek. But here, orange is in a good position to defend Celek's route.


So Gabbert targets Draughn on what he thinks is a circle route, but Draughn is pivoting his route back to the outside.


Draughn points to where the pass should have gone.
