SirA1 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Lancaster Werewolves Lancaster Offensive Strategy: This week we want to use a balanced offensive approach to attack a Cancun defense with a few weak spots. We specifically want to target his LBs as a weak point in both the passing game and running game. We’re going to pass early to spread out the defense and hopefully put some points on the board early before switching to a more balanced offensive attack and doing some clock control as we utilize the running game more often. In the passing game we’re going to do a lot of splitting out George Kittle and Miles Sanders wide to find mismatches on LBs. When Wilson sees those we want him to target those guys. That’s where we think we’ll see the most success. We also want to use players like Diontae Johnson and Sanders on screen passes so we can get blockers out in front of them and give them room to make plays. As for our WRs, we’re going to mostly have them operate in the short and intermediate parts of the field. We’ll take a couple of deep shots during the game to keep Cancun honest but mostly keep it underneath and allow our guys to operate on slants and out routes and things of that nature. Ultimately we want to spread the ball around as we think all of our guys can have wins in the passing game and nobody is going to really get shut down. In the running game we want to attack the outside and test the sideline-to-sideline ability of their linebackers. We’re going to do tosses and sweeps to the outside, get blockers like Quenton Nelson pulling for our RBs. Early in the game we’re going to use Miles Sanders more because of his ability to be used in the passing attack, but when we switch to a more balanced offensive approach later in the game and start running more, we’re going to be mixing in Fournette more and even get Dillon a couple of snaps. We’ll be doing more inside runs when those two are in. Lancaster Defensive Strategy: To be frank, we aren’t really worried at all about the Cancun running game and plan to key in on the pass this week. While we don’t think their collection of RBs will perform as poorly this weekend as last weekend, we ultimately think we can minimize the effectiveness of their ground game with minimal scheming. In coverage, Jalen Ramsey will cover Courtland Sutton, Jaire Alexander will cover Sterling Shepherd, and Kindle Vildor will cover Elijah Moore or whoever the third WR starter is. Fred Warner will cover Hooper or Schultz and Wagner will cover their RB when they come out of the backfield. Abram will be playing in the box and acting as a QB spy, ready to be all over Mahomes when he starts scrambling. We’ll be using Taylor Rapp in a variety of roles depending on the situation. If we think the offense is going deep they’ll be playing a deep zone, if we think they’re going short he’ll be play a shallow middle zone and things of that nature. Finally we think the biggest key matchup for us on defense will be our defensive line going against their OL. We’re not sure who Cancun is starting at LT this week (we’re assuming Leatherwood?) but either way our pass rushers will get theirs. We expect to get plenty of pressure on Mahomes from the outside but also from the inside, particularly if Kinlaw is able to play, which it looks like he will. We think this matchup will be the big difference in both the passing and running game as we think we’ll have lots of success against them. Cancun Kaiju Offense: This week, we’re lining up in four and five WR sets heavily to take advantage of a weak safety group and a lack of depth at the cornerback position. Kindle Vildor and Kevin King are matchups we can definitely exploit in coverage, especially if Lancaster decides to bracket someone over the top of Jaire Alexander again. We’ll mix this up with a power running game utilizing a fullback and three tight end sets. Although the starting lineup of Lancaster is quite stout, the edge depth is totally nonexistent, so if we can run the ball heavily to the outside, we will wear down those pass rushers and make things easier on our tackles for the rest of the game. Taysom Hill and David Njoku will mix in as the third TE on these sets and we’ll throw in some PA and run-pass options out of the three TE looks to try to catch the defense napping and prevent us from getting too predictable. When we do go with a more traditional 3WR/1TE/1RB set, it’ll be with Hill or Juszczyk at back and utilize motion to give us an idea of the coverage scheme. We want to know whether we’re facing man or zone coverage on these plays, and Mahomes will have a run-pass audible based on what he sees. Defense: Going up against Lancaster this week, we expect them to come in and spread us out with Russell Wilson, Mike Evans, Pittman Jr., Diontae Johnson, and George Kittle. Miles Sanders and Leonard Fournette don't add much of a punch offensively, but we expect that they'll try to exploit our linebackers a bit with Fournette running the ball on early downs. We were able to execute last week's gameplan very well, and plan on sticking in our Nickel/Big Nickel personnel for most of the game. We expect them to try to get Kittle up the seam in the playaction game, while utilizing him as a plus blocker on early run downs. We love our matchups on the outside with White and Jones in man/press man situations (as well as Quarters with 4 wide if they split Kittle out), while mixing in Cover 2 and Cover 4 to keep Russell Honest. Man/Press Man/Quarter Check: COVER 2: COVER 4: Notice, you cannot see any real discernable difference pre-snap in the base alignment, allowing us a lot of creativity in coverage allowing us to be opportunistic on forcing turnovers and making Russell go through his progressions, eliminating presnap flood route checks and audibles. We will utilize a lot of the same blitz looks that we typically do, while occasionally sending some heat from the single WR side, specifically RW's throwing side as well as stunting the DE to maintain containment: http://a.espncdn.com/NFL/17-2.16- Ravens Zone Blitz.jpg and http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rxIoHgU2BB4/TR4_y6n29FI/AAAAAAAAAYw/pToiS6Kcqjc/s1600/pyscho+3.gif and If they plan on utilizing the running game from Russ, we will be fitting like this, giving us a +1 on the edge Note, we will be able to neutralize a lot of boot action passes and playcalls altogether by doing some of the above.

bcb1213 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 In principle, I think Cancun had the right idea trying to run a lot. But they have one RB on the roster and he's Carlos Hyde. Also not at very least sliding the line to the help Leatherwood against the those pass rushers. Yikes. I like the defensive gameplanned even though the wr screens against the cover four look are gonna world well the rest of the time. shouldn't be too bad. I think Lancaster just has too much here Lancaster 27-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slide your line to his side so he has help from a guard. Admittedly leaving o Neil one on one isn't awesome either. Or even chip the edge with the RB/leave him in entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you sliding the line to help the tackle giving everyone else one on ones. I have to assume the former unless you tell me different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's unfortunate for Cancun who I think has an overall very good team, but their decision to run a lot, it doesn't pay off here. Lancasters Defense is plenty good enough to limit Cancuns offense in this one. 28-14 Lancaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think the plan to run a lot to wear down the Lancaster defense is a good one, but as pointed out Cancun only has 1 RB, and I think in the end he's going to end up wearing his back out before he wears out an entire defensive line. I like the concept Blue is going to use to bottle up Russ, I enjoy defenses that can use interchangeable pieces at a joker spot. I think in the end the lancaster defensive line is going to control this entire game. And while Sutton went off this week, he wasn't matched up with Ramsey.

SirA1 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Cancun wears out by halftime. Going with Lancaster and the missing man formation on defensive bench. 21 - 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
