#Redskins Xs + Os: Breaking down RG3's TD pass vs. #Colts 'Cover 0" pressure. http://bit.ly/NWaKg2

Let’s take a look at Griffin’s TD pass vs. the Colts and break down some coaching points...

Colts vs. Redskins

Personnel: Posse (3WR-1TE-1RB)

Formation: Doubles Wing

Route: (Sprint) Curl-Flat

Defensive Scheme: Nickel Cover 0

REDSKINS9.png

- Two route combinations you will get down inside of the 10-yard line with sprint action: Curl-Flat and Flat-7 (corner). Here, the Redskins have the ball on the far hash with Moss in a reduced split in order to create room for the Flat (out).

- In Cover 0, there is no safety help in the middle of the field. Play with inside leverage and drive to the upfield shoulder on any outside breaking cut. You are on your own in coverage to play with an inside shade and "flat foot" read from an off-man position.

- The Colts are rushing six (Nickel and FS pressure) with both LBs (Mike and Sam) using a “green dog” technique (blitz to coverage) to create an 8-Man pressure scheme vs. Griffin.

- Why are the Colts in trouble here? Look at the pre-snap alignment of the FS (highlighted in red). He will walk down over the slot WR (Moss) and replace the blitzing Nickel CB in coverage. However, in this situation (field position, ball on the far hash, reduced split), you can’t hold the disguise. The ball comes out quickly in the red zone and you can’t afford to give up a big “cushion” (distance between WR and DB). Shorten your initial depth and play for an outside breaking route.

[...]Again, we are talking about a QB that gives you multiple options as a play caller—and this is just one example.

Veteran WR Dezmon Briscoe explains what must happen tonight for him to make the #Redskins final roster: http://wtim.es/NwUvpC

Once Briscoe got comfortable with the Redskins' playbook and started playing faster, his route-running ability, good hands and wide catching radius have been clear assets.

He hasn’t played special teams in a game, though, and he knows that has to change tonight if he is to make the roster on Friday.

“They’ve got starters,” Briscoe said this week. “The situation I’m in, I can’t just not play special teams at all. I have to try to contribute on special teams to increase my chances of making the team.”

Briscoe played on the Cincinnati Bengals’ kickoff return, punt coverage and punt protection units when he first joined the league as a sixth-round pick in 2010.

Coach Mike Shanahan said after Saturday’s win over Indianapolis that Briscoe should expect to play special teams in the preseason finale. Briscoe has practiced on teams with the Redskins this summer. He expects to be the off return man on kickoffs, a gunner on the punt coverage team and rush the punter on that return unit.

“I’m looking forward to it,” he said.

Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins)

Because the bright socks he often wears are just a small piece, albeit a loud one, of a wardrobe that's executed well enough for us to (perhaps prematurely) deem RGIII style rookie of the year.

Raheem Morris wishes the Bucs would have spent when he was there http://wp.me/p14QSB-4QSO

Raheem Morris was never afraid to speak his mind as the Buccaneers head coach.

Now that he’s a Redskins assistant, that hasn’t changed.

While Morris was generally pleasant on the topic of tonight’s preseason reunion, it’s obvious he feels scapegoated for the Bucs struggles last year. After winning 10 games in 2010, they lost 10 straight to close 2011, and he was fired. Then when they brought in his replacement, Greg Schiano, they talked about his organization and discipline.

That message wasn’t lost on Morris.

“We were getting fitted for coach of the year rings [in 2010],” Morris told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “A year later, we weren’t disciplined enough.”

There’s reason for Morris to feel bitter if he wanted to, as the moment he walked out the door the Bucs started spending serious cash on veteran free agents. On the day they dropped $140 million worth of contracts on Vincent Jackson, Carl Nicks and Eric Wright, Morris sent a text to Bucs GM Mark Dominik.

“I gave him some nice choice words,” Morris said. “But he was great about it. He laughed. He said he knew he was going to get this phone message. …

“They gave them to those coaches and let those guys have an opportunity to go out there and do it. I’ve got no ill will toward anybody for not signing a free agent or signing one. It’s a timing thing. I wasn’t my time. We didn’t go out and get the free agents. We wanted to build through the draft.”

Captured! haha. I think the first time they really made me cry was the Eagles game when we fumbled it inside the 10... my uncle got arrested at that game and they let him go because my dad was too drunk to drive and I was with them, hahaha. Oye... 20 something years later that story is funny as hell, but my mom didn't let me go to games for years after that.
