Episode notes
Seattle's 12-Personnel Play-Action Is Explosive
- Seattle's 12-personnel play-action is a huge weapon, averaging massive yards per play and creating single-high coverage vulnerabilities.
- Mina notes that play-action from 12 personnel yields explosive plays and forces defenses to present linebackers.
JSN's Gravity Opens The Offense
- Christian 'JSN' is a gravitational receiver who creates wide-open targets across the field, doubling open-rate over league average.
- Both hosts say shutting him down usually requires safety help or bracket schemes, which then frees other Seahawks options.
Use Quarters To Contain JSN Vertically
- Use quarters and two-man techniques to avoid chasing JSN across the formation while allowing safeties to provide help over the top.
- Ben suggests playing more two-man and high coverage to funnel plays to Seahawks' secondary options.
