1ST HALF
The play in which Trubisky injured himself on reminded me a lot of the play in the playoff game I highlighted where Trubisky had Braunecker coming open deep but couldn’t pull the trigger. The difference is that this current play was much easier, as the playoff game play would have made Trubisky take a pretty big hit to make the play...
WILDCARD FILM REVIEW PART 1: OFFENSE
In this particular play, there was no impending hit coming, the pocket was still in relatively good shape. He’s got Miller who is aboot to come open over the top, and the deep safety Smith is out of position...
But Trubisky didn’t pull the trigger for whatever reason. Instead, he bailed out of the pocket and right into pressure...
Sometimes on these power running plays you just have to pick a lane and hit it hard. Dancing around will turn a 3-4 yard gain into a 0-1 yard gain...
On this play, Chase Daniel identifies Harrison Smith barreling downhill and knows he can’t throw this ball out in front of Shaheen, rather right at him. But Shaheen doesn’t stop the route, so the ball arrives well behind him. Just an incredible adjustment by Shaheen...
Really nice play design here. Daniel pump fakes to Cohen on the screen, which carries the CB and the S to him and leaving Arob open...
I loved what Daniel did in the pocket. Danielle Hunter beats Massie immediately and badly on this play. Massie can’t even slow Hunter down much. But Daniel buys time by sliding to his left as he waits for Arob’s route to develop. That is the difference between a strip sack and a big time 25 yard play...
Cohen is such a weapon in the passing game because of how quickly he can get into his route from the backfield...
In the Washington game there were a number of plays where a WR was rather obviously open but the Bears pass rush (combined with bad QB) bailed out the secondary. The same was the case in this game. First Vikings offensive play has Eddie Jackson getting caught too close to the LOS, leaving the TE open on the post route in the middle of the field...
But Kirk Cousins is a very bad qb. He goes through 1 progression before getting completely spooked by a falling Goldman 2 yards in front of him and dropping his eyes...
This is a play I would expect from the Bears offense. The TE motion across the field and trips the LT right into Cook’s path...
Blocking Goldman 1 on 1 in the run game is not a good idea...
This is a 3 step drop and pressure still gets to Cousins...
Nick Williams lays out to clog the hole...
Thielen beats Fuller deep but Cousins overthrows him. I’m not sure what HHCD was doing on this play. The Bears had 3 safeties out there on this play and still got beat deep...
Montgomery looks like a guy who needs defenders around him to bounce off of. When he has open space, it’s as though he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Rather just hitting the hole here, he’s still running side to side...
Harrison Smith comes in on the blitz, and Daniel simply throws into it...
Nice poise in the pocket shown by Daniel here. He has to hold this ball for a long time, but he doesn’t panic. Finally gets off an accurate pass with Hunter in his face...
Everson Griffen beats Leno on this play. Again, Daniel subtly slides away from the pressure and releases on time...
This is just a brutal miss by Daniel on third down...
It almost looks like Trevathan baits Dalvin Cook on this play...
Fuller probably saves a big gainer here. Dalvin Cook’s fluidity and burst are pretty remarkable...
RRH made this look way too easy. This was a synchronized move between Goldman and RRH. Goldman threatened to the right initially to keep the center from helping the LG with RRH...
Nick Williams takes on a double team here and dude never stops working. Meanwhile, Dalvin Cook weaves around both Eddie Jackson and Trevathan only to be brought down by, you guessed it, Nick Williams...
Kwiatkowski was out there dropping people, just laying waste to the Vikings offense...
Here Nick Williams just throws the center out of his way...
Chase Daniel had Anthony Miller open here in the middle of the field but chose to dump it off. But it’s probably for the best that he doesn’t attack the deep middle with his arm strength...
Daniel kind of locks up on this play. If you’re going to hit Arob here, you gotta throw it to him at the break in his route...
Daniel misses the window, but he continues staring down Arob determined to fit it in there somewhere. He completes the pass, but only after Massie saves his life at the very last moment...
This was such a crucial 3rd down. You convert and you are almost within field goal range and can kill the clock into the half. You don’t, and the Vikings get it back with plenty of time before the half.
This play was made on the back of great pass protection. This was 3rd and long, so every rusher had 1 thing in mind. Yet Daniel was able to hold this ball for over 4 seconds, until Montgomery crossed his vision. It kinda looks like Whitehair gets knocked out cold at the end of the play there, lol...
