My Favorite Play From Russell Wilson To Beat The Browns (That No One Is Talking About)

[@pathutchison7688]

Not only will Warren throw his body between his QB and giant defenders blitzing at full speed (which he does, Every time), but his ability to diagnose who to pick up… he basically has almost 180 degrees of an arc to scan in half a second, then decide where the threat is, and then throw his body in the way of it. Watching him is amazing. I love having 2 quality RB’s, but Warren has to be the feature back next year. He’s just so talented with a high football IQ

[@EAZYSEESALL]

The injury slowed him down he picking it up perfectly for this hard part of tge schedule

[@NudlemanJones]

IF Warren became the feature back, I think he would lose a lot of his "pop."

[@pathutchison7688]

@ that’s a valid point. I’d still want another back to take the role he has now. I’m not thinking 25 carries a game. I’d like to see him get 15 touches.

[@NudlemanJones]

@pathutchison7688 I think Warren's role is great where it is, and why he thrives. If defenses played/keyed him like they have been playing/keying Harris for much if the season (i.e., stacking the box), I think you'd see a lot more of Warren getting tackle behind or right at the line of scrimmage. He is built for gap-running and screens, and excels as a change-of-pace back, but he isn't, in my silly opinion, a "feature" back.

Russ is a pro, plain and simple. All the little pre-snap stuff, the leadership on the sidelines, the knowledge that only comes from being a veteran and having started a LOT of games in the league…. We’ve been missing this stuff since Ben retired. It gives a measure of comfort to know your field general is gonna out everyone is position to succeed.

[@johnbaker1263]

RW is on 🔥, his experience and knowledge of the game and how he reads the defense is AMAZING.. .

[@HALEIWA7]

This is the benefit of having a veteran QB. There comes a point where you have been around, done all the things, seen all the things, and you kinda get savy to the game. Russ is that guy. Russ has that experience. So, while I don't know how he figured out these guys were all coming. He did, and I am thankful.

[@misterwirez7731]

Fields couldn't ask for a better QB to watch and learn from, than Russ. He is smart, smooth and deadly accurate.

[@pathutchison7688]

@@misterwirez7731 ye, but they gotta resign Russ if he keeps playing like this. 2 or 3 year deal. I don’t see how they keep fields too. But maybe they find a way to do it.

Russ has always been one of my favorite QB's. He's one of the greats of the game!

[@Burky33]

Choosing to go with Russ when many were saying not to, is why Tomlin gets compensated handsomely.

[@skeezix8156]

Wilson makes it look easy with the read and adjustments but just as important he’s tough. He knows every blink of an eye past 2 seconds he’ll be taking a shot from somebody and he just gets back up to call the huddle. Dudes been like this his whole career

[@MarvyG23]

Happy we have a QB who can read pre-snap defenses and make changes

[@Big-Slim1]

I have heard the one thing from them. This year that I want to hear from any team that I watch and that is they are having fun.That means they are going to win

[@rick.d]

These are my fav videos. HIGH level IQ by Russ and what a great catch by Miller! And Jaylen Warren is just SO valuable - he's an absolutely terrific blocker along with his running and pass catching - sign him. sign him fast. sign him now.

[@Alex_Kozora]

Thanks for watching! And agreed. Glad Warren is fully healthy.

Awesome Alex analysis. This play was great 👍 Aloha 🤙🏼

There would be a roughing the passer on that play if it were Patricia Mahoe!

[@georgewchilds]

Watch Jaylen Warren pick up the blitzer, but ready from every gap no matter where he came through. Just wow.

[@Stingerca]

The Steelers are playing the NFL, the way we play XBox Madden football with cheat codes.

[@infinity2z3r07]

To my simple mind the slot (Freiermuth here) should always break inside vs 0 blitz. Seems like easier completion with more YAC potential, but kudos to Russ and Scotty for making a tough connection

[@yakrider6402]

Great film work AK...

[@tr3x43]

2:50 Washington is so so great at slapping hands away from a rushing defensive player. It's just nasty.

[@CAM846]

Really like the breakdown of the why and what just don't like the low percentage success play on crucial 3 down as only option after snap.

[@Alex_Kozora]

Thanks! Yeah, fade was risky but Russ is always gonna throw that route.

[@selaxlife7621]

00:51 good throw from Pickens? 😅😂😅

[@Alex_Kozora]

ha had him on the brain after watching Hard Knocks.

[@steelermike5219]

Great breakdown like always Alex. Pickens was hyped up on the sideline after that catch lol nice to see that to

[@Alex_Kozora]

Thank you!

[@kingkrow420]

Lost in this is Arthur Smith. I really hope we don’t lose him and he stays and learns from Tomlin for a handful of years. This specific play is basically 100% Wilson, but it really helps that the offense has been able to be tailored towards him, and that says a lot about Smith. I think the dude is a really smart Xs and Os coach, and if he picks up a fraction of Tomlins leadership, he is going to shine as a head coach

[@masonlabanna6615]

If he saw the blitz and cover 0 coming, why not switch Muth or Miller to an in-breaking route? We don't do enough crossing routes and right here would have been a perfect look for one. Thanks Alex

[@MikeMcKee-v8j]

You have to remember Russ' height, he's gotta have an alley and the appropriate window both in order for an accurate throw. I too was extremely annoyed by the middle of the field usage. Brees, IMO the best sub 6'ft modern era passer, everything was designed. And he had a good O-line most years he had the most success. They built in passing windows. I don't think that's something this line could do right now and I don't think it's Russ' style. My evidence to support this, last year Sean Payton, and the entire fan base was pissed about all the check downs, he seemed to check down or run around and get sacked. Just my opinion though. Sure, more traditional higher percentage throws on third downs. What with Russ' moon ball, this might be higher percentage than a 12 yard inn. What if they rush the A gap, double rush it? And last game he didn't have that timing he has with Pickens and still hooked up on that big one.

[@jeffbendoski8364]

Good work, Kozora.

[@Alex_Kozora]

Thanks Jeff!

[@MichaelZamperini]

Watch the punch by Zach Frazier. Completely knocks the LB off balance.

[@Basslevels]

That was a full on blitz Perry cool how hew read it

[@mikefrank115]

Great analysis Alex. Thanks! Not related, but it seems to me that Russ is looking for (or at least finding) Pat whenever he needs to scramble. Do you thing they are starting to develop a Big Ben/heath Miller type of connection, or is Pat just really good at getting into open space on a scramble drill?

[@pathutchison7688]

Let’s talk about it…

[@Standgedicht]

Finally someone talks about this snap... The highlight clips from the NFL was a complete joke. They showed some failed moonballs but no Scotty Miller or the option from Russ. Terrible like ever...

[@dennislavelle6909]

I'm wondering if Wilson was expecting Warren to help Moore with Garrett and that was the reason he moved Warren from right to the left side?

[@greggorsag9787]

QBs are often made better by their limitations. Wilson had to learn to read defenses well because he is too short to be effective in today’s NFL otherwise. That’s why the red zone plays need to get him out of the pocket; he can take advantage of his judgment and scrambling abilities instead of trying to see open targets and throw the ball through a forest. Smith may be figuring this out (one successful play last week), but they’ll need all possible advantages at Philly on Sunday with Pickens out.

[@kevinthompson2112]

Warren is fearless!!! He’s definitely one of the top 3 best running backs in the league. Najee is gone next year.

[@amberreed4443]

Alex, it’s probably a look he saw on film. Russ is a film junky.

[@Alex_Kozora]

Agreed.

[@robocop581]

Kurt Warner disagrees!

[@wv4776]

Unrelated to the video but wondering what the thoughts are about Pickens future? I can’t imagine things going smoothly with him once contract talks get going. I think he’s much too limited as a player to get top receiver money like I’m sure he expects and then ofc there’s the “Pickens factor”

[@Alex_Kozora]

Contract will be a big story starting this summer. Not sure how it'll play out.

[@MC-hr1py]

This team always needs an Elandon Roberts on Defense and a JAylen Warren on offense. Guys that will punch you in the mouth.

Warren - serving up pancakes, like usual.

[@PaulBuccigrossi]

You have to remember, the only reason Russ is a career 100 rated passer is because of the Legion of Doom. Russ is a master. Warren should be on the field 80% of snaps.
