Hey guys, as some of you know, I'm from France and don't have access to US channels, so I started to buy the nfl gamepass last year and wanted to share with you all the "coach film" section of the gamepass on our miraculous play of this week for those who couldn't see it well or just saw it one time.

As you can see, there are 3 wrs lined up + Pitta in a two points position all going for streaks except Pitta who's going for a deep crossing route.


As Rice catches the football, there are 6 defenders potentially able to make the play before he reaches the mark.


As Ray reaches the 50 he decides to cut back to the other side. No other options (smart)


After the cut, looks like the 5 defenders in red are loosing their balance and are going to miss him, the only potential tackler suddenly becomes free safety Eric Weddle in blue.


At this point, looks like Eric Weddle took a great angle and that Cason in closing the outside which is going to stop us a couple of yards short. But here comes Q.

[Slim]

Weddle taken out, Cason now has to re attack inside to make a play, but it will the linebacker first on Rice. Torrey is waiting on his coffee up there. :-)



On this angle, we can see that Boldin's block actually took away two chargers defenders



I just wanted to share this with you guys in case some wanted to see it again or missed it or just wanted to see from thos angle.. If any of you would like to see some more plays like this, feel free to let me know.

Great post! Thank you.

" Torrey is waiting on his coffee up there." Haha. Good stuff. Torrey even admitted he didn't block anyone when interviewed.

[CorvusCorax]

Welcome! Great Post! Hopefully Torry will step up his blocking.

Awesome post, Boldin is such a complete WR......We need to clone Boldin somehow, physical and smart football player....

Excellent post. Nice to see pictures as the play progresses.

It still looks to me, that if Jacoby was able to lay a block on #20, and Rice cut further to the outside, he likely would have been able to got for a touchdown.

Of course, whether or not Jacoby would have been able to perform a legal block (or even whether he was actually in a position to block) is up in the air, and hard to tell.

It really was a hell of a block by Q!! Talk about heads up... Without it, no first down and that's the rap with only 1 TO remaining.

But here's a question.... I thought once they move the chains, the play can't be reviewed, because the have to go back and reset. I don't ever remember this happening in my 18 years of watching football. It ended up being a mood point, but what if they didn't get the chains right and ended up not giving the first down? We wouldn't have been able to review it a second time.

If they didn't get the chains right and we didn't convert, the game would be over. It was within 2 minutes, so there's no possible coach's challenge and the booth won't review the same play 2 times.

Yeah, well done and nicely illustrated!

[Dfence4champs2052]

Welcome! Great Post! Hopefully Torry will step up his blocking.

LMAO...he had no choice but to admit during the post game press conference he was hanging out. Jacoby was whistlin' too.

[SirPainsalot]

How about showing the coverage by the defenders to show why Joe Flacco checked it? Would be interesting

[i82much]

Curious if anyone has any conclusive evidence on whether he got the 1st down or not. I am still unsure.

[Slim]

Thank you, everyone, for the warm answers. I usually watch multiple plays with these angles, especially plays when Joe takes time to throw and take a sack, it's usually because the Wrs are covered so I don't blame him. And some other big plays as well.

The guy behind Rice actually could have gotten him but slowed up when he saw everyone coming down.

[K-Dog]

love the breakdown thank you.

Why is it that Jacoby seems to be Wide Open? Rice is more reliable though, but we would have won if we threw it to Jacoby and we caught it.
