That's an interesting view. It appears Myles Jack was moving to cover the TE. It also appears that Josh Allen moved toward the TE. Ronnie Harrison and Quincy Williams both moved forward and to their right, leaving at least one of them out of position. When Campbell and Darius both failed to make the play, it's clear sailing for McCaffrey.

It makes you wonder, what are the assignments on this play? If everyone is playing their assignment, it's on the coaches.

Jack was covering the TE, Josh Allen had Contain to that side (the TE just happened to be there, his responsibility was to keep the run from getting outside), Quincy had McCaffrey .. he overpursued thinking it was outside zone (this play is middle zone, the play the Panthers said they called a record number of times bc we couldn't stop it) Quincy gets out of his gap (starting to understand his benching last sunday, he's FAST but his overzealousness as a rookie was clearly targeted and punished by the Panthers all day) and McCaffrey cuts back into that gap and runs to daylight.

The thing that's most concerning is the safeties ... it's obvious what they're doing every play; Wilson had the deep right half to prevent us being beaten over the top, and Harrison was brought down to the line of scrimmage to help with the run and cover the flat if they went pass.

Also of concern in Calais lining up inside as a 3-technique on 2nd and 10; like I love Calais, he's an absolute ANIMAL, but besides a 3rd down/obvious passing situation he's a little underweight at 290-300 to be scrapping with guards, also becaue of his height (which is a huge advantage on the edge) he's at a disadvantage leverage wise playing inside. & on a down when the run is still an option .. it can be punished. I think he's kicked inside bc Allen has been playing SO WELL that they're just trying to find a way to get him on the field.

If Jake Ryan returns I think we should run a 3-4 ... Hear me out: Calais-Dareus-Bryan as a LDE-NT-RDE; Josh Allen-Jake Ryan-Myles Jack-Ngakoue as LOLB-LILB-RILB-ROLB ... we have some wrinkles of this but it's honestly the best base set that gets our best players on the field, utilizes all of our talent in the front 7, and doesn't put any player in a spot where they're "out of position" and can be punished (with Capers in the building who's a 3-4 expert, I think some of the growing pains can be mitigated) & for Nickel we can switch to a 4-2-5 that we're running now with Jack & Quincy at LB and Ngakoue & Allen just go back to having their hand in the dirt.

Final Note: I want to see a version of Caper's "Pyscho Defense" from the Packers SB year: 1-5-5 essentially. Calais on the line, Allen-Jake Ryan-Myles Jack-Quincy-Ngakoue for the LB's that are shifting around in the "Pyscho fashion" and Ramsey-Bouye-Hayden-Wilson-Harrison as the DB's ... I think it would be incredibly effective with the athleticism & speed we have on this defense.

Championship Formula:

1) Draft Trevor Lawrence!
2) Play good physical Defense!
3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy!
4) ???
5) Blank #2
6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
