Here is my latest film breakdown. 19 of Cousins' 25 passes were within 6 yards of the line of scrimmage. The use of the horizontal stretch passing game and the quick concept is exactly how the Redskins were able to attack the Saints' Cover 3 Defense.

The quick concept was developed by Bill Walsh back in the 49ers legendary era which was good against Cover 1 and Cover 3 defenses that were predominantly run back then. Let me know if you have any questions!

Good job on the breakdown... 

 

Morgan Moses is a BEAST!

The long pass to Jackson was just beautiful. It looked like Kirk just gave a quick glance over to the right side, which moved the safety on the left hash over to the right, then he put the pass right on the money. That is quarterbacking and it was a big play and got us out of some poor field position.

 

Thanks for sending these. Awesome videos.

I look forward to these threads every week! Thanks for putting in the time and hard work.

 

Kirk really did have an exceptional game, but the screen game & the run game (and the blocking for both) made things easy. 

 

Also, wow. Brandon Browner sucks.
