I'd bring willing to bet we've seen this play out of the guy.

what program did you use to edit?

yeah, I'd like to know as well. I used to use paint on Mac when I was using a mac which put automatic arrows in there but now I'm using microsoft paint and I have to manually make my little arrows. Which is annoying.

JD, could you do something on this play in the 3rd quarter?

1-10-WAS 30 (11:17) (No Huddle) 3-C.Beathard sacked at WAS 41 for -11 yards (91-R.Kerrigan).

When I re-watched it, it looked like Garcon had his man beaten badly, and the deep safety committed hard to the other side of the field. If Beathard would've looked that way, could have been an easy TD. We ended up settling for a FG.

Yeah, it's what happened, we talked about that play a little bit yesterday in the Bethard thread but it probably got buried. It's hard to tell what he's been coached to do in that situation because of the run action and the 3 receiver side. He had made it to his 3rd progression on the play and they had moved the launch point to that side of the field so he may not be given anything more than 3 progressions on the play and Garcon may just be a route to hold the safety(which it didn't). So it may have been a case where his biggest mistake wasn't throwing it away.

yes this is such awesome execution! You can see him read the weakside FS to determine which side of the field to work, once he sees him drift back straight he knows right away he is working the vertical stretch to the 3 receiver side... really like how he stares down the safety to the last possible second until the pop up in his drop, sees the void and delivers the ball without hesitation to #1

Also, after a challenge by the away team and further review - WAS was in cover 6 zone.....which, like you said, highlights the necessity of CJ to hold the safety with his eyes because he won't widen out as much like on a cover 2 zone.

This film analysis is so awesome, it shows that CJ is legit and really knows what he is doing... he made some excellent decisions in this game and delivered the ball on time in some tight windows... I don't think Cam can make some of these reads/throws LOL

How about this one in the 4th?

3-4-SF 41 (8:40) (Shotgun) 3-C.Beathard pass incomplete deep left to 19-A.Robinson.

I believe he gets one of the interior linemen pushed back into him or he moves up/over too far and has no room to follow through. He has either Kittle or Taylor (can't remember) open for a first down, but never looks that way. I think mostly due to the pressure.

We end up punting away, then giving up the big play to VD that leads to the Cousins TD.

I jumped out of order a little bit because I really, really, really wanted to touch on this play. It's was his best throw of the day, IMO and shows what he can be.



It was in a 2 minute drill and he'd just completed a nice 19 yard gain to Goodwin. Here, we're going to run 3 concepts. We'll have an "ohio" up top with the streak and flat route. Then, we'll have a dual concept of a "dagger+sucker". I love the "dagger+sucker" combo. It's a great vertical stretch of the defense as well as taking advantage of the horizontal stretching ability. WAS runs a cover 2 zone.

At the snap CJ has to see if the safeties widen out or stay inside. This will show whether it's cover 2, cover 6 or cover 4. The throw will be different depending on those coverage's. Here, with the safeties widening you can clearly see the cover 2 zone with 2 deep safeties and 5 underneath zones.

The key on this play will be the "mike" as if they're in a tampa-2 zone he'll drop with the deepest guy down the middle of the field. If he drops, it'll be a hi/lo read on the 3 receiver side hook defender.

The "Mike" doesn't drop, indicating cover 2 zone and it opens up a hole between the safeties as the safety has to widen out for Garcon on the outside.

While this looks like an easy throw, you have to remember that CJ is going to have to get it over the LB and split the safeties. Takes touch, velocity and accuracy.

He drops an absolute dime. Gets it over the LB and places it perfectly so Kittle isn't led into one of the closing safeties and is able to protect himself and actually get about 8 yards or so after the catch.

his footwork here was MUCH better. He had his front foot out farther, which I like, and it helped him put enough on the ball and kept it from coming up short.

That's just awesome to watch.

Agreed that throw to Kittle was his best throw of the day and it came during hurry up mode. Here's the nice Goodwin catch, which I thought was his second best throw, that came on the play prior to Kittle's catch. This was already posted in the CJ thread.
49ers are running mirrored high-low reads vs Cover3.


CJ drops back and looks to his right. Kittle and Taylor show in the flats to draw the curl/flat defenders. Garcon, running a double move, gets the CB's hands all over him.


CJ then looks to his left and starts his windup to target Goodwin. Timing in the routes set this up, from the Digs to the check release of Hyde as he shows himself to the Hook defenders just as CJ is looking over the middle to target one of the Dig routes. This freezes the Hook defenders and stops them from gaining depth. Can't tell if the pass had to be that high from the angle, or if Goodwin is just short.


slow mo to see his head turn as he red lights Garcon and moves to Goodwin.


+19

Take your pick. He and Kilgore might as well be siamese twins.

So it appears as though teams will be targeting the ILBs unless Foster comes back and gets Coyle off the field. RB Chris Thompson caught 4 passes on the day for 105 yards. Three of those catches were on screens including a 49 yarder. Here was the first screen.

The 49ers in Cover1 blitz. The blue lines show the assigned man coverage assignments. Tartt is the extra rusher, Ward is deep. The player to key is Coyle.


Snap occurs and Coyle sees the RB move across the face of Cousins. Coyle must think the RB is going to blitz pickup because he abandons the RB as his man coverage assignment, opting to wall off the TE being covered by Eli.


At this point Coyle has realized it's a screen pass but the wall of OL has already formed in front.


+23 yards

This is a real good example of how he needs to work on his footwork! This is just a quick 3 step drop, requires one reach step, a gather step, then plant back foot and hang on the back foot while you read/throw... he falls back as he delivers and the ball sails a little on him and he got away with it... he should be able to sit on the back foot and drive the ball off it as he transfers power from his back foot to forward foot and unwinds his core...

it's not exactly a timing route though being RPO. there's a better example of his footwork from earlier regarding the play-action passing play; his 2nd throw of the game

oh my god, i did the other day with some stuff in the Alex smith thread and it's annoying as s**t. 3 lines for the arrow and if I dont click a different shape or w/e it just bends the line and curves it instead

Here's the second screen to Thompson. Well designed play with window dressing. 49ers are in Cover3 so with all the defenders watching the backfield, the dressing will be captivating to watch for zone defenders.
There's some familiarity in playbook from when Kyle was OC with McVay on board, then McVay staying on board as OC when Gruden came on as HC. We've seen the 49ers use similar motion and hit Goodwin on a long bomb (MIN preseason). WAS does the same thing here with orbit motion, then playaction.


The orbit motion draws the attention of Coyle, way more than it should.


Coyle's eyes are fixated on the WR as if he has a chance to even defend it. He should be worrying about what's in front of him, like the 4 OL setting up the screen.


+20 yards. No awareness from XCooper and DJJones, the 2 interior DL. If you're a bad pass rusher and you blow by the OL in front of you, think screen pass.

Here's another play from CJ that I thought was pretty good - just didn't execute as a team.



This was later in the drive after the big play to Kittle. We run a screen pass to Hyde for 12 yards and sets us up here. We're going to send Breida out wide and the CB moves out on him. This indicates zone coverage. WAS gives a cover 4 look, though they play it odd with the outside corner at the bottom playing in a man-coverage situation. What I like here is CJ's decisiveness and identifying where his concept will beat the coverage. We have an "Ohio" concept up top with Breida and Kittle. Kittle's route isn't a straight out-route but an in-out route. So, CJ, seeing the cover 4 on that side of the field will know the streak from Breida will clear out the 2 deep defenders and leave Kittle isolated in space on an underneath zone defender. Knowing that, he chooses that concept to work and it's the right choice.



With the other 2 underneath defenders occupied on the other side of the field you have Kittle in space against a LB, that's a win for the offense. He does a good job of moving the defender to the inside to open up an area to run to. CJ does a really good job here of keeping his head down the middle of the field to hold the safety and give Kittle more space to work with.



You see CJ picked the right side to work as WAS had our sucker into levels concept beat.

Kittles has won his matchup and breaks open.



CJ puts the ball on target, Kittle just has another drop......boo hiss.....



We still end up scoring a TD on the series though. But, good stuff to see from your young QB.

And the third screen pass to Thompson. 49ers are in Cover 1 Robber (robber is Coyle).


Better awareness from the interior DL. At least they stop in their tracks. RayRay sees this the whole way, should drive and splatter the RB. Hit him RayRay! The ball is mid air in this pic.


RayRay stops in his tracks to try and breakdown the RB. The worst possible thing happens and the RB is able to break outside contain. I don't know who that Right Guard is but the 49ers need someone like him - throwing a lunging block on a FS 15 yards downfield.


+49 yards
