So I figured I'd take a quick look at our new DE against our most hated divisional opponent. More specifically, I figured I'd take a look at his snaps on 3rd down. That is where we need our DE play to improve more than anywhere else.
I'm going to get a few of these up and then I may not be updating it for a week and change as I'll be out of town.
3RD & 2 AT PHI 21 |02:29
(2:29) (Shotgun) J.Stewart left guard to PHI 21 for no gain (J.Hicks; M.Kendricks). Penalty on CAR-M.Kalil, Illegal Formation, declined.
PLAY: Curry is at 3-tech but playing DE in a 43 w/ both OLB on the end of LoS and SS also on LoS. Caroline in balanced 12 Shotgun Singleback. Zone Option Read. Cam gives.
WHAT HAPPENED: Phily is Slanting left and Scraping the MLB off of Curry. They run a LOT of Slant and Scrape (a la Schiano). Personally, I'm a big fan of that scheme as it is a penetrating, LoS attacking scheme that gets LBs downhill. Anyway...
Curry is Slanting downhard on the RG who is trying to keep him out. Curry is explosive off the ball, plays violently here and crosses the face of the LG (which is what he is trying to do). Then the MLB scrapes off of him. Run stuff.
