Andy Benoit on Seattle game

This is from twitter so you start at the end at work to the top.

————-

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Brockers game-sealing run stop he uplifted and shed RT Gilliam.

Film: #Seahawks interior OL of Britt, Nowak, Sweezy not a particularly athletic group.

Film: Wilson never climbs pocket, he can’t see. That naturally adds to sack total. (Sims sack great ex.) A cost #Seahawks have to live with.

#Seahawks Film: Wilson got a feel for #Rams Cover 3 concepts in fourth quarter. Rams also played looser coverage down that stretch.

Film: #Seahawks had no downfield passing game. Wilson had to extend plays, was kept in the pocket, or throw underneath.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Graham did beat McDonald for TD on out route, Cover 0 blitz tight red zone on 3rd-7. Wilson good poise on play.

#Rams Film: CB Roberson stood out in coverage. Sturdy, somewhat lanky frame, understood body angles.

#Rams Film: SS McDonald did a very nice job in solo coverage against TE’s.

Film: Graham’s biggest impact was on “Y stick” and other inside sitting routes. Get sense #Seahawks will be feeling him out as they go.

cont….and on that play LB Ogletree abandoned hole thinking he had QB responsibility.

#Seahawks #Rams Film: Lynch 24 yds was first Seahawks run that was productive within confines of design…..

fILM: #Rams less pressure and disguise tactics in second half, more straight zone looks. Realizing they’re the more talented unit?

#Seahawks #Rams Film: Okung struggled to get his base against speed/quickness of Quinn. Too often off balance.

#Seahawks Film: #Rams used spy on Wilson on 3rd down. On Donald sack, slot CB Joyner spied in zone – unusual, great way to match QB’s speed.

#Seahawks Film: #Rams did a great job keeping eyes on Wilson with second level defenders. Mainly zone.

#Seahawks Film: Wilson and Bevell effectively responded to #Rams torrid pressure concepts with quick-timing pass game.

cont….Athleticism with Ogletree and Barron big plus there. (And Laurinaitis to some extent)

Film: #Rams a ton of 7-man pressure looks in obvious pass situations. Droppers and blitzers….

#Seahawks #Rams Film: Kearse 23 yds D disguise led to confusion between Joyner/McDonald, Wilson recognized it.

Film: #Rams unbelievable speed when considering they’ll rush DB’s in addition to having dynamic DL. That Barron/Joyner sack an example.

Film: #Rams use NT alignment in sub-packages to dictate matchups. Ex. Barron/Joyner double edge blitz sack.

Film: Ayers played LB, only 9 snaps. #Rams in nickel or big nickel (Barron) most of game, perhaps in response to TE Graham.

Film: i’m at mid 2nd qtr, #Rams DL utterly dominating #Seahawks OL, run and pass. Simply no matchup athletically.

cont…on Johnson INT, Ogletree in clean off good disguise, Wilson panicked.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: T.Johnson INT really bad by Wilson. Threw under duress w/ zero definition to a “plus split” Lynch vs. off-coverage CB.

Film: #Rams foundation was 3-over and 3-or-4 under concept, often reached by a post-snap rotation.

Film: Collective speed of #Rams D very apparent.

Film: #Rams a lot of movement with safeties, pre and post snap.

#Rams Film: Aaron Donald initial movement outstanding, touch player to zone block against, he’s quick enough to go under those blocks.

firing up film on #Seahawks O vs. #Rams D.

#Rams Film: Foles did a good job with eyes to control FS Thomas all game.

#Rams Film: Stedman Bailey 22 yds in OT vs. Sherman in slot was big time fade throw by Foles.

Film: with Chancellor you get element of disguise, post-snap rotation and impact plays. With Bailey #Seahawks were static.

#Seahawks Film: besides Kendricks TD and a missed tackle early on same drive, SS Bailey did not have a bad game. He’s no Chancellor though.

cont…Bailey stood still for entire first second of the play, allowed Kendricks to press on and by him. Terrible job.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Kendricks game-tying 42-yd TD with 0:59 left as X-iso vs. Bailey man coverage….

#Rams Film: Foles slightly below average arm strength by NFL standards.

#Rams Film: Foles got more accurate as game progressed. Made just enough of the throws he needed to make.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Britt 21 yds on 3rd-15 he beat Shead at top of route with deep hook and then on improvisation off of that.

Film: huge Question for Seahawks moving forward: will Sherman remain in slot in nickel? Leaves Williams and Shead as outside CB’s, major drop-off.

cont…Great tactical adjustment to Rams PA game, the blitz can double as a run-stopping mechanism, too.

#Seahawks #Rams Film: Cary Williams sack-fumble and TD recovery was a CB blitz from closed backside of formation….

Film: #Rams play calling and designs helped Foles through 1st down PA and some defined short-intermediate reads on 3rd down.

#Rams Film: Cunningham 42 yd screen was Seahawks first meaningful snap of man-to-man. Wagner had him, failed to make the play.

#Seahawks Film: Mebane disruptive vs. zone run game, able to force action a yard into the backfield.

Film: #Rams success with 1st down pass concepts (including PA) that specifically exploited #Seahawks base Cover 3. Great ex. Cook 30 yds.

cont…. Shead needed to pass off WR to S and settle into zone to play crosser. No awareness of that.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Bailey 29 yds a halftime play call specifically aimed at exploiting Shead in Cover 3….

#Seahawks film: Mebane aligns and plays with a very aggressive tilt. Offense must be aware of that when scheming run game.

#Seahawks Film: Shead was the nickel back. Sherman and Williams the only CB’s who played.

Film: #Seahawks less base disguise with Bailey at SS. He just lined up and played, did not rotate post-snap like Chancellor does.

Film: #Rams very concerted effort to get Austin the ball on misdirection concepts, run and pass game.

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Austin 16 yd TD a designed wind-back from I alignment. TE Cook defeated DE Irvin at POA. Austin speed, great design.

#Rams Film: Cook 20 yds should have been easy TD. Foles poor ball location, and again too much air.

#Seahawks #Rams Film: Cook 20 yds off motion to wheel. CB Williams was playing SS vs. the 1 WR formation and had no idea of responsibilities

#Rams #Seahawks Film: Austin beat Sherman for would-be 50-yd TD on 1st-10 PA from tight split but Foles too much air under ball+off target.

#Seahawks Film: Bennett flashed right away. Lateral quickness, hand usage and explosiveness off blocks.
