And If there is something we needed against the redskins' pistol offense last sunday and Manning's offense this week, it sure is a play recognition master, I think Ray does that pretty well.
I chose two plays I wanted to share with you from last sunday where our Inside Linebackers were very late which led to the defense giving up some big plays (On 280 yards passing, we gave up 150 down the middle, usually between our inside LB's and our safeties where the space I thought was too big) Hopefully they'll do a better job this week against Peyton Manning who I think has the best play action fake in the game.
1st play
Looked like we were lining up in a sort of cover 4 with our Nickel back Graham in man to man with the slot receiver Santana Moss, Ayanbadejo and McClain at ILB's
As the play goes and RG3 executes his play action, the two LB's are attacking the run which is understandable but watch Corey Graham looking at the ball, at this moment, Moss knows he's going to take advantage since the three of them are going to leave the middle of the field opened.
Now Graham knows its PASS, so do Jameel and Brendon who are trying to get back to their middle zone pass reads, Graham is going give up this play because he paid too much attention the play action.
