Leave Manscape outta this!

Absolutely great video as always! Amazing we did that damage in just 3 quarters overall & just drained the clock almost the full 4th quarter. Keep up the great work!

Great job as always. So fun to watch these with Brock as the QB.

Just finished watching.... I still can't tell if Jonny believes in Brock. Maybe it will take another game.

Can't tell if serious or not, LOL. YES I wholeheartedly believe in Brock.

Here's a review of the defense from this week. Athletic freaks all over the field and the talent level is insane.

Wonderful, Jonny. I especially liked the play with Bosa besting three blockers and still making the tackle. Thanks.

I like how Johnny pointed out Fred Warner clogged 2 crossing receivers and still sacked Dak.

Thanks Jonny!

Question... JTO's channel has questioned one of our play/formation designs the last two weeks. Could you shed a little light on what's going on?

IIRC, situationally, it's 3rd down and 4. It's when CMC motions out wide into the slot, but is maybe 5 yards off the LOS and then runs a choice route. The problem JTO points out is that, in order to convert the first down, CMC has to run 9 yards on a play that is probably a quicker route concept. He just found CMC's distance from the LOS to be kinda weird.

The only I can think of is that, maybe they're hoping to show a screen look to the defense? Or give CMC a little more space from prospective defenders, so he can make a man miss in the open field?

What do you think?

Same. I saw a tweet on X today which completely copied Johnny on this.

My only issue with JT is that he watches from a pure QB point of view. I've noticed there's times he's not thinking of scheme on scheme but through the QB helmet, not the OC helmet. There's pros and cons to that.

That motion like that makes it to that CMC is an equal threat of a bubble screen/screen pass. It's also a quick motion that changes defensive rules for a player in the backfield vs flexed and they're hoping to prevent a check so it's a quick shuffle and get the ball snapped. Teams will often check their defense vs empty or not.

Ahhhh, that makes sense.

Yeah, a lot of the things he says makes sense, but given how many analyses he quickly pumps out... I figured he's also looking at plays in isolation and not within game context.

I do think JTO has a point on this formation, but i am waiting to see what the plan is for it. It could just be seeing how teams are choosing to treat it.

I can see a stretch off of it from just out side the tackle across the whole line.
A roll out PA to pair with the stretch.
Maybe a QB keeper off of those 2.
Then off that maybe a screen back into the pocket.

Then throw in a type of jet motion, but staying at RB depth.

Gonna get back at it tonight. Spending a couple hours with my kids before diving in for 8 more hours of editing

Hell yeah, jd. A couple of hours with the kids, 8 hours for football film. Priorities are in order.
Nice video as always. It's gotta be fun breaking down Purdy film. I always found plays easier to understand when execution of the play/reads is correct.

LOL. Work, man. I got the film at 1:15 P.M. my time yesterday and was working on it with minimal breaks til 11. Then got up at 5 and got to work by 5:15 after getting a cup of coffee until I got my kids ready and took them to school at 7. Got into the office by 8:30 and got back at it and finished up and published the video at noon. Got after my actual job for a few hours then off to pick the kids up, eat supper, spend a couple hours with the kiddos and I'm back in my office working on the defensive film for a similar schedule as yesterday/today.

Not complaining, just explaining why things are the way they are during the season. People always ask why I don't put out more content - that's why. Wed-Fri are makeup days at work for the time spent on the channel. That's actually why I agreed with someone to put my patreon advert at the front of my videos now. I would really like to build a dedicated office/studio space to produce the channel content but that's a pretty penny.

I hope you succeed in turning your passion into something that will give you great financial and other abundance! Nothing like going to play instead of work! specially when your family is not too far away from where you work, and the commuting time is much shorter.

Great job and great work! You are fantastic!
