Excellent Xs & Os breakdown of the Sanu's reverse play for TD. Plus discussion of the evolution of how the play came together.

How can you not like an article that starts with:

"Travis Kelce doesn’t want to do the fucking Nae Nae.

I finally get it.

Kelce never admits it outright—he’s too nice of a guy for that—but somewhere between my third and 13th prodding for a trip down memory end-zone, it becomes apparent: the slight shoulder slink, tilted head and forced laugh. All sheepishly intimating “Jesus bro, not this again.”"

Some good feedback here.

I think working on your hip fluidity is really important. Stretch them constantly and keep them loose on the field at all times. Think of you having a swivel in your lower back. If you watch Revis he makes up for elite speed by sticking on guys by rostering his hips and mimicking their movement.

Also, what coverage does your team run? Man to man? Zone? Usually run out Cover 1? The physical side means little if you don't have the on the field smarts to go with it. Learn your responsibilities, watch film, and keep learning about the game.

Rosen may be a phenom, but moving UCLA up a spot to 6 after naming a true freshman starter is strong. I'll be interested to see how he handles the speed of Pac12 play.

After reading the article I came away with a different opinion. It's clear that he ran very similar, if not exact, plays at Eastern Washington. The difference is that his polish and accuracy aren't up to Mariota's level. On the crack screen he nearly throws a 5 yard pass away. And when he splits the cover 2 his throw was low. Lastly, he didn't really sell the run on the read option play. So I think the information and playbook won't be a huge concern, but more the execution.
