Film Room: How the Rams shut down the Seahawks' Offense... It wasn't Russell Wilson's fault

This was probably the most painful game of the weekend. It was a defensive game from start to finish and two costly turnovers by the Seahawks helped the Rams win this one. The storyline from this game wasn’t about a single play or single moment. What really stood out to me was the utter and complete collapse of the Seahawks offense. Was it on Russell Wilson? Was the Rams’ defense just that good? What about Brian Schottenheimer? Was his offense just that easy to defend? In this video, I discussed this game and I gave my answers to the following questions. First, the Rams’ defense, with their pass rushers like Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd and having a guy like Jalen Ramsey really does make them good. They can create pressure from a four-man rush while playing sound technique in coverage. The other thing the Rams’ defense did well was that they game-planned to eliminate the Seahawks’ main formation: Shotgun trips to the field side. This completely eliminated certain players like D.K. Metcalf and on plays when they didn’t bracket cover him, Ramsey would shadow him one-on-one. The final thing I’ll say is that Russell Wilson was also to blame for this loss, but it wasn’t entirely on him. Anybody that says that is 100% wrong. He was given little time, his wide receivers couldn’t separate, his tight ends dropped passes, and he was under pressure on more than 50% of his pass attempts. This is a ridiculous percentage. Without some of his big plays, the Seahawks would have been shut out. Overall, the person I blame the most is Brian Schottenheimer. I think his game plan was awful. No tempo. No half time adjustments. And the constant use of that shotgun trips formation that the Rams completely figured out. It was painful to watch. He never adjusted to what the Rams did and this showed up all over the second half of the season. This video is over 12 minutes long. I hope you (begrudingly) enjoy it!

Film Room: How Carlton Davis and the Bucs shut out Michael Thomas in the playoffs
In what promised to be one of the best quarterback duels of the postseason, the Saints-Bucs game in the divisional round of the playoffs was a complete defensive match. Both teams have top tier defenses so this isn’t exactly shocking, but in the modern NFL we have come to expect more from our quarterbacks. Neither Tom Brady nor Drew Brees passed for more than 200 yards in this game. The main storyline I saw from this week was how well the Bucs defense played. They were lights out creating multiple turnovers. Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting completely erased Michael Thomas from the field. He ended this match catching 0 passes on his four targets. Now this isn’t a small feat considering that he’s objectively a Top 3 receiver, so in this video, I wanted to focus on how exactly did the Bucs do that. Was it poor throws by Drew Brees? Was it bad routes by Thomas? Or was it just classic good coverage by the defense? In this video I started by looking at his targets first. Then I went over some of my other observations from Michael Thomas' game after tracking all of his routes and the coverages that the Bucs' defense played. For as bad as people think Drew Brees was in this game, Thomas had a pretty bad game too. He barely created any separation on his own. Carlton Davis straight up dominated him all over the field. He was extremely impressive in this one. The thing is that the Saints actually did try to get him the ball. They moved him around a bunch. They sent him on motions. They gave him reduced splits to get easier leverage. They put him in the slot to get match-ups against linebackers and zone droppers. They put on the sides of bunches to give him free releases. And frankly speaking, they pretty much did everything they could but the Bucs simply had his number. On his underneath routes, Davis and the other cornerbacks were patient waiting for his release and any time he ran anything deeper than eight yards down the field, the Bucs were ready and they clamped down on his routes. His backside routes also had no real opportunities either. Just simply put, the Bucs shut him out in this one. Now I do understand that Michael Thomas was injured, but he recently had good performances against the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, and Atlanta Falcons. To say that the injury was the sole reason why he had a poor performance would be a discredit to the game that Carlton Davis played.
