Tight Ten: Ladd and Quentin Johnston Film Review, Kaelon Black Buzz, Michael Mayer Magic | Aug 28

This is the first play of the game for Justin Herbert.

You know, we've got Ladd McConkey flanked over here to the left.

Quinton Johnson over here to the right.

And then, you know, you've got your tight ends in here as well.

We've got Charlie Kolar over here.

David Njoku right here.

One of these is Alec Engold.

I can't tell if it's this one or that one off the top of my head.

And then we've got Omarion Hampton in the backfield.

They passed the ball in the first play.

I believe it was the second play run play and then two pass plays after that.

So good to know.

Good to see.

Yep, that's angled coming around.

A little bit of play action.

So what we get here is with the play action, you know, you see that the linebackers kind of take a small step forward because they think, hey, you know, maybe run.

These guys take their angles.

It pauses the linebackers a little bit.

It's a good way to get information on what the scheme is going to look like.

Even though they were in shotgun, I believe, you know, we got a chance to see how this operation is going to run.

We're getting two slants, basically, from both sides.

Now, the thing that sucks is these guys didn't take enough steps forward, so they didn't really fall for the play action very much.

They paused, but they didn't go all the way up.

So that doesn't really open up too much right here behind them.

Herbert's going to wait.
