Its a great scheme being executed at its highest level by great qb play. Two things being true at the same time.
it's a PA route combo every team has in their playbook, its not some special wicked mojo Kyle dreamed up and unveiled on Sunday.... the team and Brock executed it to perfection... the play is concept is based on what is called a horizontal stretch of the deep coverage, since the field is compressed it's stressing the playside safety to make a choice, cover Deebo and ignore BA behind (which he is not aware of yet) or just sit there and do nothing... you saw the result, Brocky looked at Deebo first (which is how inside breaking routes are progressed, from inside first to outside) and let the safety run with the bobber before setting the hook to turn back and sling it to the wide open BA.... Brocky was compeletely toying with the safety and fully owned him, and held him there until he was ready to turn back and hit BA
Exactly this. People acting like Kyle is some crazy mastermind who is coming up with plays no one has ever seen before. Lol it's ridiculous. He's a great playcaller and good at antipating what the other coach is going to do. He finds mismatches. But he NEEDS a QB who can execute his offense.
There are some pass plays that Kyle dials up that seem unique to me, but for the most part, his pass play designs aren't innovative where no team has ever ran them before. Kyle's talent as a playcaller are the sequencing of his plays (setting up a defense) and the ability to anticipate what the DC is about to call. imo.
Here's that play. On this particular play, Brock looking to Deebo first, then Aiyuk, is the natural progression of the reads. Like stated above it's a horizontal stretch and most horizontal stretch plays are read inside-out (Deebo to Aiyuk).
With that outside to inside release, it sure looks to me like Deebo's route is designed to clear out that safety. But that doesn't mean he isn't the first read. Ideally, you'd use Deebo to get Brandon open, but you look at Deebo anyway, and if it's there, you throw it. If not, you're looking off the safety and linebackers naturally, leaving a gaping hole for Aiyuk.
