So does "cut" in formation ID simply mean a reduced wide receiver split? And if so, what if the split is reduced on both ends?
@HowToLinebacker
@HowToLinebacker Күн бұрын
Great question. We read from left to right from whatever perspective we have. I tend to name it from a defensive perspective. So if the reduced split is on the left “cut” comes before the number of receivers. If it’s on the right, it Comes after. If there’s a cut on both sides then it’s designated before and after the numbers of eligibles on each side. For example, 2 receivers to each side of the formation would be 22. If both sides have reduced splits then it becomes cut 22 cut. The Formation Identification Numbering System (FINS) follows this format: Left Tag/Left # of eligibles/Right # of eligibles/Right Tag. I’ll make a video about this and identifying the backfield today.

It was....until Dean went out. It was his left knee. I didn't see anything that unusual that would cause such a severe injury as this one. Too bad.

⁠@@mjciavolaonly thing I saw was he was sorta pushed in the direction he was moving as he was decelerating. That could put extra stress on that tendon. But the tendon’s probably been worn down throughout the season and that was the last straw, so to speak.

I played against his father back in the early 2000s. Great pedigree and bright future.

Challenge accepted. Fist, the question must be asked, what is the criteria for MVP?? Is the best player(Saquan)?? The best stats(Burrow)?? The most accomplished(Chase)?? But let me make the case as to why I think JA17 is the MVP. 2 Questions. First, When Derrick Henry rushes for 150, 170, 190+yards, who's the MVP of the team in those weeks?? 2nd, At the beginning of the season, most ppl looked at the Raven's roster and said "This is a SB caliber team". At the same time, those exact same ppl looked at the Bills roster and said, "This is a re-build, re-tooling, re-whatever year for the Bills meaning that the Bills wouldn't even make the playoffs. Some even said "The Bill's window is CLOSED!!!" So my question is, and understand, this has nothing to do with the level of play from Lamar. He's fantastic, has played fantastically, and I'm not saying anything to diminish that in any way. However, If the Ravens had the better roster, Derrick Henry, 9 pro-bowlers, a pro-bowl WR, an all time franchise TD catching TE of a franchise that already has 2 HOF TEs, the better D-fense, AND a 2 time MVP who not only is the MVP, but is playing better than he did either of the other years he won the MVP.............How come they're not the 2 seed?????????????? Or the 1 seed? How come in week 18 they, not only have to play, but also have to WIN to secure their spot in the playoffs??? Because, in the meantime, JA17 and his band of NOBODIES are kicking back with their feet up in week 18. They're so far out in front of the rest of the conference, they basically made their own bye week. When you're talking about the MOST VALUE to a team in the league, There's no question. Without Josh Allen, the Bills are the Giants, and fact of the matter is Ryan Tannehill took a very similar team to the Ravens to the 1 seed about 5 years ago in Tennesse. They don't need MVP caliber QB play to be a 10 win team. I'm not saying Lamar didn't play at an MVP level, I'm just saying it's easier to be in the MVP conversation when the team around you is loaded. #JA17MVP #GOBILLS #NFLPerfectGame That last hashtag has nothing to do with it I just wanted to remind everybody. GO BILLS!!

It's always fun to hear different perspectives on the MVP award. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! My thoughts are these: 1. Derrick Henry’s success this season is in part due to the fact that Lamar is such a threat to keep and the ravens have enough designed QB runs that defenses have to dedicate an entire player to check Jackson on every handoff. 2. Josh Allen could be a similar threat but I don’t believe the Bills use him in designed runs as much. 3. Further, the Ravens run game concepts are far more sophisticated than anyone else in the league this year. I believe this is by virtue of having Jackson, a very legitimate run threat on any play. 4. On every pass down, defenders are forced to maintain pass rush lane integrity and assign someone off the ball to spy Jackson. Allen is absolutely a worthy recipient of the Award largely due to his similar although lesser ability to stress defenses with the constant threat of a run. 5. Statistically, Lamar was just better this year. Great analysis and conversation! Thanks!!!

@@HowToLinebacker "Statistically" you're right. But JA17 is the MVP for one reason, More with Less!! The Bills are the 2 seed. without Josh Allen, the Bills are the Giants. The Ravens would be a 10 win team with Daniel Jones. The Bills were still WAY out in front of them with a much less talented team. Statistically, yes you're right. But when it comes to overall VALUE to their team, there's NOBODY who brings more value than Josh Allen.

@@HowToLinebacker Oh and one more thing when it comes to the "Statistics". JA17 is not gonna have the stats that other QBs have partially because the Bills have 8 wins by 20 points or more. That's more than any other team. JA17 sat in the 4th quarter more than any other QB. Mitch Trabiski is the leagues LEAST leading rusher from taking so many kneel downs(fact). Plus he didn't have to play in week 18 where other QBs need to play AND win to solidify their spots in the playoffs. Just FYI
