SirA1 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Ivory Coast Black Rhinos Gameplan: OffensePrimary Formation: 2 Wide "21" Personnel- We're going to come out this week with our 2 wide personnel as the primary formation, looking at a little over half the time. We do plan on implementing some 3 and 4 wide sets as well. Running Game Focus- We're going to focus on our running game here. We know that the Jazz have a formidable defense top to bottom, and we want to limit how much the defensive line tees off on Matt Ryan during pass plays. We'll use a lot of pulls and counters in order to take advantage of defensive aggressiveness. Nick Chubb will once again be the bell cow, but Ekeler will get his share as well. Passing Game Focus- We're going to use a lot of rub routes and crossing patterns to try and free up our receivers on passing plays. We will allow our running game to set up the pass, and utilize some deep play action shots to keep the secondary honest. We'll have some 3 and 4 wide sets, and run bunches out of those, to allow our receivers to get some space between themselves and the defenders. The running back will primarily stay in to help pass protect, but we'll also have a few screens, both to the backs as well as receivers. X-Factor on Offense: Don't Let the DL Free Rush Ryan- We're going to lean on our running game to establish the time of possession, and limit the opportunities that the Jazz defensive line will just freely rush the passer. We will run plays to take advantage of aggressiveness and have additional protection with the backs. DefenseDefensive Formation: 4-2-5 Defense- If the Jazz come out 3 wide we'll utilize the 4-2-5 look. If we need to have a heavier set, Butler will come off the field and Bobby Okereke will come on. When we use dime, White will come off and we'll add Cockrell. Secondary Coverage: Zone Heavy- For this game we're going to run a lot of different zone coverages. We want to confuse Josh Allen and force him into making a mistake, so we'll limit the man coverage plays (outside of obvious situations, in which case we'll have help over the top). Combining with the zone looks will be blitzes from the linebackers and secondary, to create chaos for Allen. Defensive Box- Our interior defensive linemen will be two gapping, while our edge rushers will contain and squeeze the pocket. We won't give Allen any room to scramble, and we're typically going to send a 5th (and sometimes 6th) blitzer to bring Allen down. We also don't want to give Elliot any running room. X-Factor on Defense: Confuse Josh Allen- Throwing a lot of variety of zone coverages at Allen, sprinkling some blitzes, and never let Allen get comfortable in the pocket. New Orleans Jazz Offense: The name of the game here is going to be possession football. Although we come out in our usual 3 WR set, we’ll often be subbing out Samuel for either Vannett to accept as our 2nd TE or Jawaan Taylor in jumbo packages where we aim to run the ball down IC’s throat. Elliott figures to get around 25-30 carries, with Johnson getting around 5-10 and Allen around 5-10 designed runs either being QB draws or option keepers. We know this is going to be a tough game given the strength of both defenses, but we still feel confident given the strength of our offensive line to establish the run and keep the chains moving and clock ticking. If this means running the ball 50 times, we’re more than happy to do so. The passing game will also be pretty low risk today. While Lockett will work on the outside and primarily be our deep route runner, Allen’s instructions will be to only throw it in single coverage and avoid double coverage at all costs. Ertz and Thomas will run their usual variety of routes, with Allen looking to strike quickly once they get separation. Samuel will be worked into the game plan largely on screens and slants, with the plan to get the ball in his hands and let his YAC ability shine through. Defense: The usual cover 1 man in New Orleans here, with the match-ups as below: Gilmore – Jeffery Fuller – McLaurin Harris – WR3/Slot Hyde – Chubb Trevathan – Cook In looks where Sherman is on the field, we’ll have Alexander Johnson rotate in and either Fuller or Harris out. Our base formation listed is what we’ll generally use on early downs/versus the run, with Richardson often rotating in for Bosa and Hankins playing around 30% of the snaps in place of Campbell/Atkins to both keep them fresher for rushing the passer and beefing up the DL. On passing downs, Campbell will kick inside with either Allen sliding down to DE and Johnson coming in at LB, or Vernon Coming in at DE with Allen serving as a 5th pass rusher/blitzer. However, for the most part we’ll be rushing 4 given the weakness of the IC OL, especially considering their left tackle likely won’t play any snaps this week and their left guard might be the worst in the league at the moment.

Scoundrel Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Lukic you started the wrong QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It's a discussion for next week but he looks good Shame about the mono but I can see him really kicking on to end the season. Come to think of it, he actually had a pretty good game vs. the Bills considering the illness and strength of their D. Also Ruskie you need to fix up that OL situation. The left side of your line are both IRL backups... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 In terms of quality of Offenses, tbh I think they're about equal. In terms of defenses they're both good. I think this game is low scoring and much closer than people would expect but I also think the secondary or NO gives ICBR fits . I like Jazz by a slim margin 13-10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Again, two teams that game planned to attack each other the same way. Keep away ball. Problem for IC is, New Orleans is built to play keep away from just about anyone, and their defensive focus seemed more worried about Josh Allen than Elliott. I think IC is one of the few teams who has a scarier defensive front than NO, but as I just said NO's offensive line is built to wear people down, and I think both teams slow playing each other, NO will have more big plays today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Will be back for this one, looks like the closest game this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I’m going with the Jazz here. One thing I do respect about Lukic, as I’ve said before, he is realistic about who he has behind center. Ball control by both teams as Jlash mentioned is going to open up a few big play opportunities for either team here. I think for IC Scary Terry gets a TD against Fuller. However I see Michael Thomas and Zeke both going for scores. 17-10 for me in this one in favor of the Jazz. A defensive struggle on both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedLavie Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Another game with two similar gameplans. Close one but I feel the Jizz have a slightly better OL and can open more running lanes than IC + a slight advantage on defense as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcb1213 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 So I don't know how either team really is gonna score much here Both lines have major flaws (left side IC, tackles for new Orleans) IC seems to be exploiting this by rushing five while new Orleans is rushing four and IC keeping a back in to help In the end Allen probably gets a little more done against the zone. New Orleans 10-6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Happy to admit Reiff is the weak link on my OL but I think calling Whitworth a major flaw is a bit far. The problem with the Rams OL has been everyone else but him. He's not elite anymore but he's still one of the better LTs going around.

Pickle Rick Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Control the time of possession and score is what I think NO can do. Not enough weapons for IC to keep up. NO win 17-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of of trouble getting outside quick enough these days to super athletic ends which well IC has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orca Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The Jazz use the flute this week to lull IC to sleep and walk past them when on offense. Not enough to keep up on ICs end New Orleans 28- 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
