Deep Dive: How the Rams use motion to confuse defenses | Wind the Clock |

The Sean McVay Rams offense is back to lighting it up, so they deserve an even bigger deep dive into how they are confusing defenses around the league on a weekly basis. On this WIND THE CLOCk, Nate breaks down the all 22 film to show how they use DUO and ZONE to keep opponents on their toes.

Great stuff, Nate. I think the hiring of Mike LaFleur was a strong indication of McVay’s desire to overhaul the run game.

[@bloomylicious]

As an English Rams fan who is relatively new to the NFL this breakdown was amazing! Really helped me understand why we're having some success on offense lately. I'm so glad we have a decent run game.

Welcome to the ramily dude🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Do watch any local teams in or near your area.

[@bloomylicious]

@@counterfeitclone Cheers! Nope I can't say I do, the closest team would probably be from the University of Birmingham I reckon

@@bloomylicious birmingham bulls? Also tamworth aswell. Not too familiar with the whole midlands teams.

[@bloomylicious]

@@counterfeitclone didn't even know they existed but I'm actually pretty close to them!

[@counterfeitclone]

@@bloomylicious there's the national league which is british american football association (BAFA) theres a list of all the teams on the BAFA wikipedia. Most uni's now also have teams which compete against each other. Season starts in april.

The Rams must be a nightmare to see on the schedule for next week. Thanks Nate!!

[@aaronbutler9373]

Not if you the Ravens. There are 0 nightmares to Ravens. The Ravens are the Nightmare to the NFL. Ravens Defense is Dominant and Suffocating.

[@matushka78]

Very innovative by the Rams, very good explanations by Nate. Thank you guys.

[@juanluevano1494]

For a while, it seemed McVeigh stopped using those misdirection plays like they used to help Goff out. I'm glad they went back to it to help Stafford and the running game. This is when This team is at its best. GO RAMS!

[@KorbynDubois]

Nate thank you! I love how you break these down for us. 🙏🏼

[@TheAthleticNFL]

My pleasure!

[@PlaySA]

Was watching the game and Nacua's speed on that jet sweep really surprised me. His pro day 40 time of nearly 4.6 does not do him justice, and looking into it he did exceed 21 mph this season. The man can really run.

[@elitster]

Incredible! GO RAMS! (Love the misdirection pitches vs the Browns... motion in one direction to the heavy side... pitch back to the weak side

[@77relayer]

Thanks for breaking this down. Now i finally understand all this "marry the run with the pass" stuff on a very different level. I kept thinking damn Puka must run 5 miles a game!

[@rockerlkj]

These videos are so kickass. Keep up the good work, guys

[@Chanman55]

Great video Nate 🙏🏼 You have an incredible way of explaining and teaching everything being done. Keep em coming !

[@matteospinso4569]

wow great stuff Nate! Thank you, videos like this are helping me understand the game in a very deep way!

[@J-C0916]

Love it, Nate! Very knowledgeable about ball. Just earned a new fan

Great stuff, Nate, We gave a shout out to your channel, and this video in particular, on our Monday night (E.317) podcast.

Nice explanations, very helpful!

[@d20doc60]

Amazing break down!

[@harry0042]

Excellent break-down on the Rams Offense

[@princenhliz93]

Ravens fan here. The Rams offense pushed my Ravens to the limit. Will be a team yo eatch out for if they make it to the post season.

[@BOTzerker]

Would have liked to see you comparing Pukas 74 yard TD play to when the Browns had the same defense formation earlier in the game. Stafford recognized the defense and called an audible; changing the play.

[@kirkscott3050]

This was fire!!!

[@brandondurand8096]

I loved this video! Wish it was even longer, selfishly

[@MichaelKim-zn4cw]

This was a great video

[@aznxfactor]

Texans probably studied the Rams vs Browns for this game Saturday. I saw some duo last week when Texans played the Colts with Fullback Andrew Beck motioning. LFG TEXANS!!! WE GONNA BEAT THE DOGS.

[@lastnightsshift]

Thanks for the info

[@IanMcGrath70]

awesome discussion, really appreciated the breakdown. oh and we say emphases (empha-seize ;-) as playso says below

[@ardakkumerian8088]

Kyren Williams and Cooper Kupp are on my fantasy team. I drafted Williams right after the traded their #1 RB to the Vikings.

[@attila_szabo]

Nice sweater, Nate!

[@hbdude155]

need more Skarsgard fullback action in this offense lol

[@Leo-ii8nb]

I am quite excited about the game against the ravens. The Rams do play pretty well at the moment, but the last 3 wins were against an injured geno smith, the cards and the Steelers with many injuries

[@WallabytheThumper]

Yeah this week is the true test for the Rams

[@choosecarefully408]

_Dayyum_ this was a great breakdown. Now I *really want* to push for Nacua gettin' OROTY seeing how he blocks, runs & also _doesn't tip off the defense as to what he's about to do_ before doing it. Does anyone know what the Rams' actual OC actually _does?_ Anyone?

[@tylernormand1056]

As a rams fan i have no clue. Im pretty sure he just helps mcvay pretty up the offense

That hat! So cool. Anyone know the brand?

[@PlaySA]

I'm gonna guess 'emphases'

[@dr.pakadoc717]

Except for when they run Ben Showronek on the jet sweet fake. The defense is unconcerned. Nacua is a stud.

[@YouvebenHAD]

I love how you explain our Ramily Rams team. Much love bruh 😎 😏I respect how you look at our team brother and I support what you state about the rams and I stand by your side on your opinions of the rams and how they use certain plays and play action with a motion to see who is manning up against the rams . But I do believe our team LA Rams are going deep into the playoffs this year and I already called it earlier this year we just needed to wait a little bit for the chemistry of the team to build in which it has and they are going to win out majority of the rest of the games and I believe they will upset the ravens by pulling off a 4 game win street

[@justicestyles]

Breakdown was awesome …. S/O to the George Lucas skit

Problem is 99% of Rams fans will hate on Puka. Because he is morman. Cc a Utah resident. Shame on you all

[@user-ft2dq1dt8n]

Stop it they've used motion all season. Why don't you look into why out of the bunch formation but had Higbee run the streak and the other two faster recievers ran effing curls over thrown, Stop it.

[@artistamisto]

oh stop it, crybaby. 😭Stop it!! 🤣🤡

[@counterfeitclone]

Everyone doubted the rams going into this season and even tho we hope to get into the playoffs and further we might not. But the point is everyone wrote us off as bust. Going 6-6 with 2 games we should of defo won and the other games being competitive we've proved a piont. Horns up, go rams🟦🟨🐏🏡
