January 29, 2022 2022 Championship Sunday - Current Pick: Rams Bengals .. will it change again?
It took some time, but Stafford is finally in sync with McVay's Gillman Pro PS and the talent in the system.
---Stafford with Caldwell at Detroit - who coached under Tom Moore's Gillman Pass Spread.
---How can I pick against Shanahan 3 games in a row. If I do, I deserve 0-3!
KC Letdown could be real - best team doesn't always win, but...
---Burrow is NOT good with too much pressure - slow to read defenses.
------Spagnuolo may bring the heat.
------Will KC DBs be able to keep on those WRs?
------Need to run Mixon - Power + Spread!
Hard to pick against KC, but I still am for now. Leaning towards the Rams now. Either way I expect 2 more whacky games. Or at least close games.

January 28, 2022 2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Review - Chiefs over Bills: 3rd Quarter
3RD QUARTER NOTES

DRIVE 1
1ST DRIVE 13 Plays 8 minutes - FOR ONLY A FG! KC would still be driving for a TD if not for Holding Penalty.
Reid starts out with an Aggressive mix of Power and Misdirection/PlayAction Spread.

Bills have a good Coverage mix but still not bringing much blitz or mix up front.

Take a break...

REST OF QUARTER
BILLS OFFENSE - A little conservative 1st Drive, but big time set up for 75 yd TD Pass! Daboll masterful calling a game.

KC OFFENSE - Got a bit a way from the Power + Spread. Mahomes in Dropback mode too often. Partially because of Bills conservative D and Cover 1 Man Under. Still, they had 2 more RPOs + a Reverse and some Power. MORE!

PLAYERS NEED A PLAN
BILLS DEFENSE - Bills are now bringing down a Safety - moving from Cover 2 to Cover 1 w/ a Robber. More aggressive and continued coverage mix confusing Mahomes, but only 1 AGap LB blitz. Again, not enough mix up front and PLEASE...GET A SPY ON MAHOMES!

KC DEFENSE - Spagnuolo also bringing down a safety. Mixing in the back, but not as effectively as the Bills with their MU Zone and incredible technique.

PLAYERS NEED TO PLAY - ATTITUDE TALENT PREPARATION
DLineman - #55 Hughes and Clark + Oliver and Bill's DBs/LBs in Pass Coverage playing fantastic. The RBs are running hard. KC WRs executing in an intricate scheme. Mahomes and Allen = Dynamic PS QBs.

MOVE BY HARDMAN ON TD ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!

ONE ISSUE
Mahomes still having some confusion on the Bills Coverage Mix, but runs well to make up for it. Mahomes still better at Improvisation than pocket passing!

           Spags - Where's the Beef??

            KC a little conservative to start.

January 28, 2022 2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Review - Chiefs over Bills: 2nd Quarter
One more long TD Drive Chiefs. 1 2m Drive each. Chiefs missed FG. Bills TD to tie 14-14 at Half.
Defenses a little more aggressive. Each did a Full House Cover 0 Blitz near Goaline, but too little too late.
KC Offense picked it up w/ more aggression this Quarter! Incredible Misdirection - Play Action. Personnel Packages.
Bills Daboll backed off a bit for a series or two, but setting up for more aggression late this Quarter and in 2nd Half.

January 25, 2022 2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Review - Bengals over Titans : Halftime Report
DEFENSE!
Bengals not supposed to stop run - adjustments!
Titans not supposed to blitz - adjustments!
      -Mix Back AND Front both Defenses!
              -Called it about Anarumo’s Flexibility.
             -Didn’t call Vrabel for aggression!
      Said the bengals would need to go vertical -
      I didn’t realize how agg the D would play

OFFENSE?
Need to keep Power PA/MD mix-
Tannehill not Pass Spread guy
      -Use Henry as Decoy..?
      -Mix Spread Runs - Tannehill’s legs + WRs
      -Run Hilliard?
Keep taking Deep Shots if Bengals keying on run
      -Short passes to set it up
      -Screen passes set up packaged plays
Burrow - needs power to help his Spread
      Verts + Short. Forget Midrange to start.
      Get off Primary and/or get rid of ball

Not Easy on Young QB or in the case of Tannehill - a limited QB.

Most Aggressive use of Safeties in the NFL..?
GAMEPLAN FLEXIBILITY - Did it all year (Lamar Jackson and the Ravens). Finally a team using a power heavy alignment vs Henry! 6-2/5-3 Defense hearkening back to the days of yore.

TENNESSEE PUNTER BRET KERN'S KNUCKLEBALL PUNTS

TITANS OFFENSE
Need Henry to Set up PlayAction + Misdirection along with Tannehill’s legs and arm. Tannehill is not a pure pass spread guy.

BENGALS OFFENSE
Burrow slow reads = Sacks. Not enough Power Mix.

TITANS DEFENSE
AGGRESSIVE MIX! SURPRISED!
Bowen's background. Vrabel being aggressive!
