I have had these seats since the old place and honestly the new one is not the same, and I know how that sounds three days later. Different noise. It comes down from somewhere instead of across. Anyway. We lost.

u/paperweight_ted1 point3d

Thursday football is the worst product this league puts out and I watched every second man.

I coach at a small college and I have friends who have given twenty five years to this and are still position coaches, and every one of them watched a man with no professional experience of any kind win by forty today. I understand this is a joke to everybody in here. It is not a joke in a coaching office and, I think I would ask people to sit with that for a minute before the next one.

u/Marled_Sedge_212Colts3 points16h

Two weeks ago I would have bet my house. Now slightly less of it.

u/harker_lowell121 points15h

Going to do this once and then leave it alone. So on both first quarter touchdowns Cleveland is in single high with the corner outside on an island, no help inside, and Tampa runs basically the same release both times. From the second quarter on they are almost entirely two high, the corner is playing off with his eyes in the backfield, and the pressure is coming from the linebacker level instead of the edge.

Tampa never solved it. That is where the 0 for 11 comes from and, kind of it is where the four interceptions come from as well. It is not complicated and I am not saying it was clever. I mean somebody looked at a scoreboard that said 14-0 and changed a thing that was not working, which is a lower bar than people are pretending, and Tampa still could not clear it.

u/Cornice_Shadow_9Rams96 points15h

This is going to end up at about four hundred points under a blocked extra point.

u/Corked_Bottle_512Eagles8 points15h

Good post.

u/Cypress_Yard_5Buccaneers3 points15h

We had no answer for two high all afternoon man.

u/harker_lowell3 points15h

To be clear I am not saying it was genius, just that it happened

u/Riven_Ashcroft_88Cowboys100 points16h

u/Larchmont_SlopeRavens12 points16h

u/Riven_Compass_400NFL10 points16h

Cleveland won first downs 26 to 12 and yards 477 to 292 and held the ball most of the second half without ever running it well once. That is, I mean a very strange shape for a forty point win.

u/Larchmont_SlopeRavens3 points16h

6.8 a play with 2.9 a carry means it all came through the air.

u/Odd_Pelican_4407Buccaneers10 points16h

Being honest about our half of it because there is going to be a lot of noise about Cleveland tonight. We were 14-0 up and then did not get a first down for twenty five minutes.

After a while it stopped being scheme and turned into eleven men who had stopped believing the call was going to work. Five years of watching this defence, man, and I have not seen one look like that.

u/Balsam_Quay_31Saints9 points16h

New to this so be patient with me. When people say coverage bust do they mean one player ran to the wrong place, or that the plan was wrong. The commentary said bust on the 87 and then said bad coverage and I think those are two different things.

u/chagrin_falls_chipBrowns4 points16h

Been doing this since 1993 and, I mean it is not the winning that has thrown me, it is that both fourth quarters have been boring. Nobody prepared me for a boring fourth quarter.

Honest question from someone who only watches the big games. Is 328 yards a lot for a quarterback now, because the commentary made it sound normal.

u/orpington_kell158 points14h

The thing on this clip that is worth watching twice is not the catch. Watch him at the snap. He opens to the field, takes three steps like he is carrying the back out of the backfield, and then just stops dead and drives on a throw that has not left the quarterback's hand yet.

He is not reading the receiver. He is reading the guard, who has already told him it is a quick game concept, and once you have that you can leave early. He did it four times today. Right, that is a young player who has been given permission to guess and has earned it.

u/Salted_Gutter_1188Patriots134 points15h

Mayfield threw two of the four at him and the second one he was already standing there.

Serious discussion: Tampa Bay went 0-for-11 on third down and never reached the red zone. What actually changed after the first quarter?Discussion

I would like to keep this off the head coach if anybody can manage it. Tampa scored on two of their first four snaps from scrimmage and then did not get past midfield again until the fourth quarter. Cleveland changed the coverage shell and the pressure structure inside the first quarter and Tampa never adjusted to either. Interested in what people saw, particularly from anybody who follows Tampa week to week.

u/Copper_Fitting_212Patriots122 points6h

The short version is that they basically went from single high with the corners on islands to two high with the corner playing off, and Tampa's whole passing game last week and this week is built on winning outside on one on one looks. Take the one on ones away and Zac Robinson does not have a second thing.

u/Sandpiper_Lane_7Vikings2 points6h

The other half is the pressure moved. Two sacks is nothing, 15 for loss is a lot.

u/orpington_kell88 points6h

People are going to want this to be a story about a head coach and I think the honest answer is that it is a story about a coordinator with a good week. Rutenberg has run this exact adjustment before, in Baltimore, in a game nobody remembers.

The interesting question is not whether the change was clever. It is who was allowed to make it at 14-0 in the first quarter, because plenty of buildings just do not let that happen until halftime.

u/Corked_Bottle_512Eagles2 points6h

This is the most useful thing anybody has written about that game and it is at 88 points

u/harker_lowell2 points6h

Agreed on all of it. The 0 for 11 is not a Tampa problem alone and it is not a Cleveland triumph alone, and, I mean there is no version of the internet that is going to hold both of those at once.

u/harker_lowell59 points6h

Watch whether the two high look holds against a team that can actually run.

u/Nolan_PetrosyanPackers29 points6h

One thing nobody has raised. They ran it 29 times for 84 and kept going back to it. At 44-14 they were still handing it into a wall, so either they were burning clock or they wanted the tape.

u/Bitter_Almond_66Falcons41 points6h

Both, and, you know you do not want to be the team that cannot run in December.

u/Marled_Sedge_212Colts20 points6h

u/Copper_Fitting_212Patriots10 points6h

u/Stipple_Harbor_31Commanders5 points6h

Cleveland's interior line is the actual story and nobody wants it. Vea had six for loss. Six.

u/seven_hills_samBrowns4 points6h

From the Cleveland side the thing I would want people to look at is the fourth downs. Four for four, and three of those were the sort of call that gets a coach roasted for a week if one of them fails. It is a decision pattern and it is two weeks old and it is just going to break somewhere

u/Halyard_Point_77Ravens3 points6h

Zero red zone trips shouldbe the headline. Not the 54. A home team never reaching the twenty is rarer than a blowout.

u/Sheer_Anchor_1990Giants2 points6h

Nobody is going to read a word of this and everybody is going to read a four word comment about a blocked extra point, which I upvoted myself, so
