That's basically what the article said. The defense credited him with the overall domination of the rams offense.
Interesting read, especially this quote..
"Having played in that offense, they don't have an answer for all-out pressure," Hoyer told Breer. "Their answer is for the quarterback to make a play."
This is painfully obvious when watching the 49ers. Beathard and Mullens both get destroyed under pressure and you can see Jimmy G has to improvise.
Looks like Shannys offense has been exposed.
I was running out of quality podcasts to listen to but via SchemeCast, they were talking about how Hoyer, while acting as the scout team QB gave the defensive secondary a tip on their tendencies and how Goff would launch a pass under an all out blitz. It lead to the Pats playing off and watching the QB...for the easy pick.
Another was Hoyer went back to his Amazon Prime account to watch the All or Nothing series on the Rams. Hoyer recognized all the signals, plays, routes and audibles and gave them to Flores. If they say/signal X, they will do Y.
Said they played a lot of 6-7 man boxes (like Alabama) to blow up the OZ runs while playing man to cover (varied coverages). It was so effective it sat Gurley for most of the game (OZ runner) and lead to Anderson running more inside. This is what BB does...takes away your best player and finds your tendencies and exploits your weakness. Anything for an advantage.
Hoyer also saw a Peyton Manning ESPN+ thing on Goff. "The offense is the same." Rams tape confirmed it. Then Hoyer went back to Amazon footage of OTA's.
Studied the Lions tape against the Rams to see how Patricia game planned against them.
