Hungary:

 

3WR - 60% - Out of this set we will be spreading out the ball to our litany of receiving threats. We will be utilizing Mixon and Hockenson a lot in the passing game this week. They will be utilized mainly in the mid to shallow areas of the field. We will look for single coverage WRs for most of the game. Additionally, we will be running some deep patterns and letting the receivers out run the secondary. This will help set up the running game with the playaction.

Out of this formation we will also be fairly balanced in the running game. Mixon and Robinson will share the load in the backfield. From time to time we will flex out Hockenson to spread out Seoul's defense and open more running lanes. 

4WR - 20% - Slayton comes on and we start testing Seoul’s depth at CB with Someone will have single coverage and this will be taken care of. Dak will be playing out of the shotgun to give him more time to find his receiver. The RB will be utilized in screens and dumpoffs in this formation. Looks for Floods and trips to one side of the field as well during this formation to cause confusion in the secondary. 

2 TE - 20% - We will look for single coverage on a linebacker. We will also be using Robinson as an additional target. One of these three will get open. Near the goal line we will deploy this look more often. The 2TE look will also help us with some power running especially off the edge where Seoul is weak against the run.

 

Defense:

Coverage:

Hayward - Cooks

Brown - 2WR

Bouye - Kelce

Parker - 3WR

Oruwariye - 4WR

Last week Russell Wilson looked like death rolled over. We still plan to respect his to presence as if he is healthy, but we are aware of his accuracy and look to take advantage if his finger ailments continue.

When facing Seoul, their main x-factor is their deep passing game. This week to combat it we will be utilizing a base front of a Cover-2 Shell. The C2S deploys both safeties deep and takes away the longball. It forces the opposing offense to be patient and look for the underneath routes. This opens up the pass rush with the front four now featuring Shelby Harris.

Kelce is one of the most prolific TEs in the NFL, but most recently has found his kryptonite - the NB. AJ Bouye will be jamming Kelce at the line to disrupt Wilsons timing with his TE underneath. This is what the Giants did against him a few weeks back and held him with his lowest output of the season.

Hayward will be jamming Cooks at the line to force an inside release.

Jones and Thompson will drop back into the middle of the field in the Cover 2 to take the middle of the field away. Thompson will take the seam route in case Pat tries to go vertical . Jones will be used to spy Wilson. They both have the freak athleticism to play the zone and rush up against Seoul's running game in Gibson (who has yet to break 90 yards all season).

We will keep our dline fresh with Lewis/Harris and Watts/Jones coming in to spell defenders.

 

 

 

 

Offensive Strategy

Formations:  3WR (40%), 4WR (40%), 5WR(20%) 

Scheme:  Pass(70%),  Run(30%)
Tempo:  Normal Tempo

Overall Gameplan

Spread out Hungary,  Give Wilson options on all levels.  Attack inside running lanes. 

Passing 

We’re coming out with spread formations this game and want to attack Hungary on all levels of the field.   Bateman, Watkins, and Cook will all rotate between inside and outside alignments.   Kelce will keep a 50/50 split between lining up inline and in the slot.  All four will work a full route tree and test Hungary’s linebackers and secondary all on levels.   Freiermuth will come in no 5 WR sets and we will work with Kelce and Freiermuth from tight sets.        

Rushing

Javonte gets the start for Seoul this week.   While he isn’t getting the full workload with Denver, what he has done fits our gameplan this week.     Williams and Gibson will have a 60/40 split, play calling won’t need to change depending on who’s back there.   We want attack Hungary with inside zones this week and challenge the interior and LB’s to stop the run, while also covering our spread attack.

Overall Gameplan

Limit big plays, make Dak and Co sustain long drives.   Attack off edges with Floyd and Judon.

Formation Schemes

We’re sticking to a basic 4-2-5 for the most part this game.  Will rotate to our normal 1-5-5, and 3-3-5 in some, but not all, 3^rd and Longs. 

Run Defense
Hungary has some capable backs,  and typically come out with a balanced game plan.   We still won’t put any extra emphasis on stopping the run, Fotukasi and Lawrence will plug up the gaps against Hungary’s IOL.

Pass Rush

Floyd and Judon get the start for Seoul this week.   We want to test Hungary’s ability to pass protect in this matchup with just a 4 man rush.   John Franklin-Myers will rotate inside with Fotukasi on 3^rd and long.   We think we can get pressure against this OL with just a 4 man rush.
 

Pass Defense

Hungary’s skill positions are no joke and can blow a game wide open.  We also don’t want to keep showing the same zone coverage to Dak all day long, we will go with a 60% Zone, 40% Man split for this matchup.    Match ups listed below.     Man coverages will be strict cover 2 with focus shifted towards both Metcalf and Lockett.    Zone coverages will be primarily Cover 3, with a shift towards mixing Cover 1/Cover 2 on 3^rd Down.

Matchups for man coverage; 

Chidobe Awuzie –  DK Metcalf  
Taron Johnson -  Adam Thielen
Cameron Sutton -  Tyler Lockett  
Joe Schobert -  RB
Isaiah Simmons -  TE

Wilson hasn't looked quite right since coming back and I don't think Seoul can keep up with the Hungary weapons.

[VigilantZombie]

Gotta go Hungary here. Seoul is very much a team with high potential.  However I feel strongly that Hungary has more established and ready to make plays type talent. I think Seouls defense will struggle in this one.

[Jlash]

Playing a dangerous game in cover 2 with a TE as good as Kelce, that seam is literally wide open all day, even if you have a CB on him at the line. But with Kelce bouncing between inside and outside I don't know if it matters all that much in the end.

This sums it up well for me.

Buddy, in a Cover 2 Shell the linebacker covers the seam route. With a CB covering Kelce, that keeps the LB still in position to do so. Cover 2 Shell with CB coverage is literally what has been making Kelce look pedestrian this season.

Hungary move the ball well against a Seoul D that doesn't match up very well against them, while Hungary's D does enough to slow down the Seoul offense which is a bit suspect on the OL and Wilson isn't performing well enough to cover the gap.

In a tampa 2, that's what the LB does.

Basic cover 2

Tampa 2

edit: I guess Thompsons role was to drop back, just didn't see that at first and read it as a standard cover 2.
