Whicker Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Seoul Dragons Offense Target Rome LBs and safeties. Travis Kelce, if on single coverage, will see a ton of targets this week as he’s huge mismatch for everyone Rome has on roster. We expect Rome to double team in which case we’ll make him run on areas opposite to our called play so we can eliminate 2 Rome defenders. We think we can also beat Rome safeties deep, especially if Hawaii runs a zone coverage, cover 2 or cover 3. Hilton, Wiliams, Kelce and Everett when he’s on the field will frequently run deep routes and if we can get a WR vs a S matchup there, Matt Ryan will launch it. Last year, Rome beat us in the Bizz Bowl by doubling Green and Kelce and putting Jackson in coverage on Hilton, a matchup we decided to avoid. We will not make the same mistake this year as we are confident in our skill players. Expect a lot of 2TE sets as we’re more and more confident in Everett, who we think can beat Rome 3rdLB (Anzalone most likely). Expect a lot of pass in the middle of the field for Amendola and Coutee (who we will involve a lot, either as a 4thWR or in the slot if Williams/Amendola are out). Expect some 2RB sets too with Drake on wheel routes. Screen and trick plays.Like last week, we want to get our WR screen game going, with Hilton mainly. We will use Antonio Callaway blocking skills to maximize our chances there. We will also have a couple of trick plays, one flea flicker with Jordan Howard, a couple of end arounds with Hilton and Amendola, and fake end around that will end up being a pass by Amendola to Williams/Callaway deep if we can catch Hawaii defense off guard. Balanced offense.Contrary to the last weeks, we want to bring a more balanced approach on offense this week. Part of it Is injuries. AJ Green is out, Amendola and Williams are questionable so we have to rely more on our running game this week. Part of it is the matchup. Rome DL is not very good. Takk and Fowler are pass rushers only, so is Ionnadis inside, and Brockers hasn’t been his usual self this year. The only good run defender Rome has is Dunlap, and he will face a solid run blocking tackle, wherever he lines up. So we think we can get Howard to the second level, which is enough to give us manageable 3rddown situations. Howard gets the majority of carries (70%) with Drake and Ware splitting the rest of it evenly. Protect Matty Ice. We decided to bench Schraeder this week and bring Saffold to the right side, where he played earlier his career. We don’t think we’ll miss a bit inside with Person, but we expect Saffold to have to adjust a bit to his old position, so if needed, and especially against Dunlap, we will shift protection towards the right. If needed Jordan Howard will stay in pass pro. Defense Heavy DL.This week we are running a heavy defensive front, hoping to stop Gurley from getting it going on the ground and to battle Rome strong OL pound for pound. We love our 4 corners against Rome WRs so we will trust them to hold the fort in pass coverage. McLendon will man up the middle of the line and give everything he can handle to Russell Bodine, while freeing McCoy and Atkins who will have 1vs1 matchups, especially Atkins vs Braden Smith which is a matchup we think he can win. We will implement some rotation inside and outside. We expect Ingram and Chubb to play 65% of the snaps, McCoy 75%, Geno 85% and McLendon around 65%. A premium has been put on sealing the edges, to both our OLBs but also to Bradham and Hightower. Off man cover 0.We will rely on our back 6 to hold on while we bring the heat on Brees. Slay gets Juju if he plays outside, or Cooper. Desir gets the other outside wideout. Fuller gets Juju if he plays inside, or Edelman. In 4WR sets, Taron Johnson comes in for Bradham and gets the other inside receiver. They will all play off man coverage to keep everything in front of them, as we will offer no safety help whatsoever. Justin Reid and Nigel Bradham have the over/under coverage on Gurley, who will be double teamed in most cases. Thompson gets Reed. Rome Eternals Offense This week we welcome in Seoul and their excellent defensive line. However we feel we have one of the best blocking units in bdl so it'd be a fun match up to see We will generally open up the formation with three wr and bring Edelman in motion to the wide side of the field. This motion will let us know when Seoul is in man as we like the majority of our match-ups and will attack Desir and hicks relentlessly in man if they don't have help. Up front we recognize the need for possible help and if we see zone Gurley will often read for a blitz before going out on his route chipping an edge on his way. Seoul 's strength is their edge rushers but the best tackle tandem in bdl is in Rome to help neutralize that threat. Without a blitz that will allow us to have three on two in the interior If Seoul does something stupid like play five DL expect Gurley to get sent out in motion as we can get easy wheel and slant routes against a lb /safety Gurley is gonna get about 20 touches between the passing and running game. We are gonna use a fair amount of draw plays to slow down the edge rushers and get the lbs moving backwards first. We also are going to incorporate more screens (especially to the right athletic side of the line) as an extension of the running game against zones We will rotate in mack on early downs and Lindsay on third downs occasionally to give Gurley a break. We even have a short yardage package with two te and a fb We will also throw out a five WR look on our first drive to see if Seoul brought a fifth corner with them. If not, expect us to run five wide about 20% of the time to get some mismatches Tl/Dr. Attack the secondary. Motion to gauge coverage, trip formations to beat zones. Screens and draws with Gurley to get him in space Defense Seoul comes in a little battered and bruises on the offensive side of the football and a once formidable offense gets a little easier to defend without their big number one in AJ Green On the outside we have Marlon Humphrey on Williams and Amukamara on Hilton. Nrc gets Almendola in the slot and should shut him down. Jackson is the fourth corner with Jenkins available for five wide Seoul likes to force feed the ball to Travis kelce. Luckily we have two of the best cover backers in the league and they will receive help in the form of a double team each play. Whichever side Kelce lines up on will get that sides lb and S while the other lb gets drake/Howard. Other safety will have cf shading towards the Hilton side Up front we will have Ebukan in on early downs with Fowler in on passing downs on one edge while Dunlap gets the other. On passing downs, we are gonna slide our d line towards the offense left as that side of the Seoul line has a traditionally solid Stanley who unfortunately is banged up and if he doesn't go, Seoul is gonna be in trouble. Tomlinson provides the beef while ioannidis provides interior pressure rotating with Brockers when we need more beef. Alualu and Takk will provide quality depth. We will mix in some zones and blitzes with zone to keep Matty ice guessing but mostly will roll with man. Luckily Seoul is a little predictable in their run game. When Howard is in they normally run up the middle with drake running outside so we will adjust our line and lb accordingly to who is in Tl/dr Don't let kelce beat us. Trust the talent . Bend don't break, they can't keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't think I have 5 active corners on roster right now, and I forgot to put something in my gameplan (which is stupid given I knew bcb was coming with that) so Marcus Williams gets WR5 in man. Not like I'm super worried about James Washington anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Cooper against better corners this weeks than desir 8 for 180.2 td Which is better than all three of your starting wide outs combined with their 8 for 138 In fact Rome starting three 25 catches 453 yards and four scores.... against off man coverage with zero help? Like what's their point of rushing five all game if your gonna give us slants and runs all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
