yup. don't even care that he predicted the 49ers to win. it was smart, insightful, and got down into the meat and potatoes of football without any regional bias. great work

Re: Football Gameplan's Super Bowl XLVII Preview - Ravens vs Niners
That was great! I wish there was more analysis like that on ESPN, NFLN, etc. It reminds me of the old JFK line, "Senators and football coaches are both smart enough to know their games but dumb enough to think they're important." It takes real smarts to be able to design these schemes, work them into overall game plans and fit them to the personnel you have. A smart coach can work wonders -- just look at the turnaround Jim Harbaugh executed with the 49ers...

And he had a purple tie. :)
In all seriousness though, thanks for posting this Em! I felt like I legitimately learned something.
One question (for anyone). Is that unbalanced formation he shows around the 2:30 mark a legal formation? Wouldn't the LT be uncovered?

Good analysis, except his prediction was based off of the Redskins game and we had a weak line up for that game. We'll be better this week.

There are only 6 in his drawing. The second tight end is playing behind the line along with both WRs. So the formation is...
Code:T G C G T TEQB TE WR WR

Re: Football Gameplan's Super Bowl XLVII Preview - Ravens vs Niners
I agree - I usually like emDiggy's analysis, but yeah, this is not the same team that played the Redskins at all. Lots of guys out/injured in that game.
One thing that has really been overlooked IMO by the talking heads, are how the two defenses are trending over the last 8 games or so. The Ravens defense has progressively been getting better, and the Niners have been getting progressively worse. I'm not sure how much it's been mentioned, but Atlanta wasn't just passing big on them in the first half, they were running well too until Turner was injured.
There is ONE analyst that does his homework - and that is Ron Jaworski. Nobody looks at as much film as Jaws, and nobody understands the game better among the talking heads. What does Jaws say about it? "Ravens - lead pipe lock". When Hodge said "are you sure, I dunno?", he repeated "Ravens", with a big grin.
Jaws knows what's up. :)

As for the Unbalanced formation..its a legal formation as Kyle Cactus noted!

Re: Football Gameplan's Super Bowl XLVII Preview - Ravens vs Niners
Bullshit.
At 2:29 of the video, in the bottom right corner of the whiteboard, you have a TE, two WRs and the RB lined up behind the line of scrimmage on the right side of the line. That's 5 men in the backfield, with 6 on the LoS, and that gets you pushed back 5 yards every-freakin'-time.
Moreover, if one of the receivers steps up to the LoS, the TE who started out on the LoS is now covered & ineligible. And unless that receiver who steps up goes to the left side of the line, the LT remains uncovered & therefore eligible. If the receiver stepping up does go to the left end of the OL, then the formation is no longer unbalanced.
If you want to diagram an unbalanced formation that's legal, you'd need to flip the TE on the LoS with the LG, & then move one of the WRs on the right side to the LoS to cover the latter up. But you simply cannot put 4 receivers out to one side of the line with a QB and RB in the backfield--the numbers just don't work.Last edited by lobachevsky; 01-31-2013 at 12:05 AM.
