Week 12 Gameplan

Motivation: 

 

Offensive Formations: Our dominant formation this week will be 3WR/1TE/1RB (34%) 4 WR/1RB (33%), 2WR/1TE/2RB (33%)

Tempo: Playing a traditional tempo with lots of motion before the snap to help Tua see formations and reads. 

Designed Playcall Distribution: 50% pass, 50% run 

Running: Barkley and Ingram will power our running game this week.   We want Barkley to push the edges on outside runs to use his athleticism and speed to break to the second and third levels.  We will also use zone blocking schemes to help give Barkley some cutback lanes that can be to his advantage and skill level..  Ingram will take the counters, traps and power runs.  In our 2 back sets we want to use the power game to the strong side with the TE.   Our beef up front and extra blockers should open up lanes to the second level and beyond.  Smash mouth football is coming back to Antarctica.  In the second half is where we will start bringing out the RPO, options and QB sweeps.   

Passing: Kmet is gonna be a big part of our game plan this week.  We want to give easy passes early and often for Tua.  We want to do this by getting the ball into our playmakers hands with space to run via slants, crosses, check downs etc.  Once we establish these, the middle of the field should open up for Kmet and the RB's.  To keep the D honest and not jumping those routes we will use a number of back shoulder throws and go routes on the outside.  Playaction will also get the middle of the field open for Kmet and company.  

First series of the game:  Pass, run, pass, run, playaction.  We want to set the tone early that we will be unpredictable with our play calling.

Defense Base Formation: 4-2-5 (Cover 3 Zone)

 
Passing Defense: we want to take away the deep ball by playing our 4-2-5 Cover 3 Zone.  We want to play tight between the hashes, leaving only the outside flats open.  This will clog the middle and take away the TE and any crosses, slants, or posts coming into the middle, This will force Brady to make throws that he has been horrible making this year (outside) hopefully leading to a number of quick 3 and outs or turnovers when he inevitably tries to force sole passes over the clogged up middle.  This will also play into our running defense as well.  We will play almost exclusively zone coverages but mix them up throughout the game.  As for pressure, we will be coming at Brady with multiple exotic stunts, twists, and delayed moves to keep their o-line off balanced.  We will be focusing a lot on the edges.  We feel that is their weak point and want to break it by attacking it throughout the game. 

Run defense: We will be bringing Adderly down into the box a lot to beef up the numbers.  Our D-line stunts and twists should keep IC's O-line from getting to the second level often and squash the run game up the middle.  Having an extra DB will also provide us more speed to help against the outside runs.

Singapore Sentinels
Motivation - Injuries have been an issue all season long but we have had an injection of talent on both sides of the ball come back just in time for the playoff push. 

Offensive Strategy
Formations:  3 WR (55%)/ 4 WR (20%) / 2 TE (25%)

Our primary formation heading into the game will contain a single back, three receivers, and a tight end. Our secondary formation will be  4 WR personnel with Mooney and Davis getting a little action to roast the depleted Antarctic secondary.
Scheme:  Pass (60%) vs Run (40%)

Passing  
Brady will have his trio of receivers to start the game - Kenny Golladay, Kendrick Bourne and Keenan Allen. Allen will be the main focus this week of the passing game as we think the Beasts will try to put most of their coverage assets on Golladay.

We are going to line up Allen all over the field though and allow Brady to pick his matchups. This is going to allow our other receivers open space in the middle on crossing routes and slants. Brady will use his processing speed to dissect the Beasts secondary. 

Rushing
Hunt will get the start because he is our best RB in all honesty. Hunt and CEH will get the majority of the carries this week with Gaskins spelling them.

We will use outside zone runs to stretch the Antarctic DL out and set up the pass for Brady with some play action. Both Gaskins and Hunt are excellent receiving options for Brady as well and will act as safety valves to deflate the Beasts Pass Rush.

Defensive Strategy
Formations:  4-2-5 Nickel / 4-3 Under 

Run Defense
We are going to control the line and keep Barkley bottled up. We have the LBs needed to fill the gaps and limit his ability to get first downs. Bentley will spy on Barkley to limit his impact on Run Options/RPO. JOK is healthy again and gets the start as he is the future at LB. 
Donald and Cox will plug the middle and collapse the pocket on Tua to not give him time to freelance.

Pass Rush 
Reddick (10.5 Sacks) and Golden (10 Sacks) bring pressure as good as any tandem in the BDL. The rotation off the bench of rookie sensation Oweh and Ingram will make sure that our guys stay primed all day to keep that pressure on.  This should force Tua into some errant throws into max coverage and not give his receivers time to develop their routes.

Stopping Donald, Cox, Golden and Reddick will be a task this week for Antarctica. Oweh continues his campaign for Defensive Rookie of the Year and has proven both effective at stopping the run and creating havoc in the backfield with forcing turnovers..

Pass Defense
Formation - Cover 2 Man 

We want Tua to try and beat us with his arm as we think we have the on field speed to stop him. So we are going into a Cover 2 Man look this week with both Johnson and Poyer deep to not give up the big plays to the Beast's receivers.

Bryce Hall, Tevaughn Campbell, and Desmond King II will be responsible for the underneath routes. Adrian Phillips is our Dime S this week and will cover their 4th WR. We think by limiting their big play opportunities and focusing on stopping Tua we can keep it close enough  for TB12 to win the day.

Coverage Assignments:
·         Stefon Diggs / Bryce Hall - CB
          Chris Godwin  / Tevaughn Campbell - CB
·         Ceedee Lamb  / Desmond King II - CB 
         Cole Kmet / JOK - LB

Joe Haden did not play against the Ravens Sunday.

[VigilantZombie]

Despite the fact Joe Haden is out, the Antartica offensive weapons in the passing game are miles better than that of Tom Bradys weapons in Singaopre and the catch 22 is that if we are going to praise Brady, then we have to praise Godwin, his favorite target. Antartica also finally got the QB position right this week. I think its a close game but Antartica comes out on top. 

17-14.

Haden out on one side 

Darrisaw out on other

I was hoping we wouldn't see the exact same game plan C+P from Antarctica for like the 5th week in a row, but they couldn't even remember to take other teams completely out of this game plan.

You have two people available each week to do a write up and can't even put half effort in.

1. It wasn't and hasn't been a straight copy/paste so don't push that. 

2. We don't 2 owners, we have me the only owner 

3. The gameplan is great imo, I haven't seen anyone really beat it yet.  Just mostly a player issue for me right now.

You can go back like 4 or 5 weeks and it's almost identical. You still have IC as your opponent in part of the write up that you forgot to change. That's a copy and paste. I get re-using sections of game plans when they fit. I was hoping at some point in the last few weeks it wouldn't be identical.

Singapore based on HFA. Otherwise I think it's a tossup.
