thehbrwhammer Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 In my latest video breakdown on YouTube, I took a look at Bashaud Breeland's development in his second season in the NFL with the Redskins. Breeland went from a hit-or-miss rookie season, capped off with a great performance midway through the year against the Cowboys, to a stud CB ranked #13 by PFF. Part I goes over his strengths and weaknesses in coverage, while Part II will go over some of his big plays and his run defense ability (which PFF ranked him as #1 for all CBs).

goskins10 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Good stuff as always! I am sure defs have seen now he can't cover someone who is just plain fast. I will assume the Skins will counter. Better Safety play will help there. I am also think having Norman will help. What are your thoughts about how they help protect him against getting beat on long straight routes like that?

thehbrwhammer Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 What are your thoughts about how they help protect him against getting beat on long straight routes like that? Thanks! A couple things you can do: Breeland can play press-man at the LOS to not give a free release. You can play Breeland in off-man to give him a cushion on a speed receiver (probably something you'll see more when we run our Cover 1 Man looks. Honestly, it was a great play call by the Bills at the right time. Usually a Cover 3 Cloud looks like Cover 2 to entice the corner route, but the go-route was the true weapon.

Conn Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I love that Breeland's run defense translated from college to the NFL. The first thing I remember seeing from him when we took him and I researched him was a tendency to absolutely lay the wood and how he relished getting his helmet dirty in the run game.

Koolblue13 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thank you. These are so good. Bash and Norman are going to have a great year me thinks. It'll be nice not to have opposing QBs be able to pick on Blackmon and Dunbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamyesme1111 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 This video gave me a lot more insight into Breeland and the way he covers than I had before. I appreciate you taking the time to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rook Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Fine work Sam. Really like the discussion about his knowledge of what is happening during the plays. The Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Great work (as usual) but watching Breeland's play I kinda have to wonder how often it was affected by insecurity about safety play. You don't get support where and when you need it and you want to force things. IF (and yes, that's a big if right now) we can get the safeties sorted out to be more consistent and let the kids just handle their duties we could see major improvement in the secondary. Personally I'm not convinced that Josh will be our best CB this year, I want to see BB rise to the challenge. Norman's good, damned good, but so is Bashaud, a "can you top this?" competition between the two could be very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
