WIth De’von Achane, Dolphins’ motion and misdirection could be trouble for Chiefs’ defense

The Dolphins are a much better offense when running back De’von Achane is on the field, and the Chiefs are about to find that out.

If there’s one thing you know about the Miami Dolphins’ run game, it’s that it’s packed with pre-snap motion. If there’s another thing you know about the Miami Dolphins’ run game, it’s that you’re going to see a ton of misdirection to put defenses on their heels, creating more explosive opportunities.

It’s important to remember that head coach Mike McDaniel was Kyle Shanahan’s run game coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers from 2017 through 2020 before becoming San Francisco’s offensive coordinator in 2021, and then getting the Dolphins job in 2022. So, there are a lot of similar concepts, and a lot of what the Dolphins run in their ground game could be said to be Shanahan’s stuff sped up about 20% because the Dolphins have such dynamic athletes on the field.

One of those dynamic athletes this season is rookie running back De’von Achane, the Olympic-level track star and Texas A&M alum who Miami took with the 85th pick in the third round of the 2023 draft. Achane ran a 4.32-40-yard dash at his scouting combine, and all of that speed has shown up on the field. This season, Achane has gained 804 yards and scored eight rushing touchdowns on just 102 carries, which gives him an insane 7.9 yards per carry average. Achane has 13 carries of 15 or more yards on the season, meaning that he’s good for a potential house call on more than one of every 10 carries.

Beyond the straight-line speed, Achane is also a real problem for defenses aligned in McDaniel’s motion and misdirection concepts. This was really true in Miami’s 21-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the 2023 regular-season finale. Achane had 10 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown in the game, and all three of his explosive plays came from a similar — and highly original — run scheme.

Each of these runs also featured pre-snap motion (of course), but the real tricky part was having Tua Tagovailoa taking the snap in the Pistol formation, and Achane right behind him. Advocates of the Pistol in the run game will tell you that putting smaller backs right behind the quarterback (Achane is 5-foot-8 and 188 pounds) makes it hard for a defense to get a clean run fit right off the snap, because the back is hard to see.

Now, we get into the misdirection fakes on each of those three plays. As seen below, Tagovailoa faked a handoff to his left to… well, nobody. The idea here was to get the same player on all three plays — Bills linebacker Tyrel Dodson — and it worked on runs of 11, 16, and 25 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will have to deal with all this stuff when Kansas City and Miami face off Saturday in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The Dolphins and Chiefs played each other in Week 9 over in Germany. Achane didn’t play in that game — he had a knee injury that put him on short-term injured reserve — but Spags is well aware that he’s scheming it up against a different offense now. He was asked Wednesday whether there’s an advantage to facing a team for the second time in a season.

“There may be some truth to that because we all say in this league it’s hard to beat a team twice, right? I think it helps the players in that they know the person that they line up directly against, but to both sides, there’s no advantage there either way. I’m sure they’ll change some things. We’ll have a couple of new wrinkles. It’ll be a whole different game, and it’ll be in a different country [laughter]. It’ll be a different game.”

It’ll also be below zero from a wind chill perspective in Kansas City for the game, which could have both teams leaning more on the run game.

The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell: Previewing Week 18’s biggest NFL matchups

In this week’s “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys preview the final week of the regular season with tape and metrics.

It’s time for Week 18 of the 2023 NFL campaign — the final week of the regular season — and Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group, are here to get you ready for the most important games, playoff scenarios, and interesting matchups:

Kansas City Chiefs-Los Angeles Chargers — Why the Chiefs wouldn’t even be a playoff team without Steve Spagnuolo, and how Kansas City’s defense got four sacks in five plays against the Bengals on Cincinnati’s final drive.

Philadelphia Eagles-New York Giants — The Eagles had best fix their leaky run defense before the playoffs, and the Giants could be a stern test in that regard.

Houston Texans- Indianapolis Colts — C.J. Stroud is back for the Texans, and he’ll face a Colts defense with a lot of underrated players. The winner takes the AFC South.

Los Angeles Rams-San Francisco 49ers — The 49ers have wrapped up the NFC’s one-seed, so they won’t play many of their starters, but it’s time to recognize a Rams defense defined by two rookies, and more underrated players.

Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins — Two up-and-down teams are fighting for control of the AFC East, and it could come down to which unit figures itself out: Buffalo’s offense, or Miami’s defense.

Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers — The Bears won’t make the playoffs, but they have a fascinating decision to make about Justin Fields’ future. Meanwhile, Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been as good as anyone at his position in the second half of the season.

The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell: Previewing Week 17’s biggest NFL matchups

In this week’s “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys get into Week 17’s biggest NFL matchups with tape and advanced metrics.

It’s time for Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season, and Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group, are here to get you ready for the most important games and interesting matchups:

Cleveland Browns-New York Jets: Joe Flacco is killing defenses with shot plays out of play-action, and as good as the Jets’ defense has been all season long, that’s a vulnerability on their side.

Detroit Lions-Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys have played more man defense than any other team this season, but all 10 of Jared Goff’s interceptions this season have come against zone coverage. Dallas played more zone against the Miami Dolphins last week; that trend might continue.

Los Angeles Rams-New York Giants: It’s time to check in on Matthew Stafford and what he’s dialing up in Sean McVay’s shape-shifting offense.

Miami Dolphins-Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens just came off a great game in which they beat the San Francisco 49ers on both sides of the ball, and Mike McDaniel’s Dolphins present similar challenges.

Cincinnati Bengals-Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs’ offense is circling the drain, and it’s everybody’s fault. Can they turn it around in time for the playoffs?

Jordan Love is beating the blitz, and he’ll need that ability against the Giants

Packers QB Jordan Love has become much better against the blitz in 2023, and he’ll need that against Wink Martindale’s Giants defense.

One of the most positive aspects of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love’s development in the 2023 season is how he’s performed against the blitz. Against five or more pass-rushers this season, Love had completed 80 of 130 passes for 859 yards, 479 air yards, six touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 93.1. Against the Kansas City Chiefs in Green Bay’s 27-19 Week 13, Love had 15 dropbacks against the blitz, and 11 completions on 15 attempts for 91 yards, 39 air yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 128.1.

This will serve him very well when the Packers play the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and Love has to deal with Wink Martindale’s pressure concepts.

Only the Vikings have a higher blitz rate this season (47.6%) than the Giants’ 41.0%. But while the Vikings have allowed 10 touchdowns to two interceptions and an opponent passer rating of 114.5 when sending five or more rushers, the Giants have allowed just two touchdowns to one interception and an opponent passer rating of 72.9 when sending six or more pass rushers. When sending five or more pass-rushers, the Giants have five interceptions, and they’ve allowed three touchdowns.

Now, two of those five picks came against the New England Patriots in Week 12, when Mac Jones threw a cross-body pick that Bailey Zappe later replicated, and a disasterbacle of a Jones throw to linebacker Bobby Okereke. Another was a Sam Howell WTF throw in Week 11 in the fourth quarter against the Washington Commanders. So, this is another case, as always, where you have to watch the interceptions. 

Still, it will be fascinating to see how Love deals with the Giants’ aggressive tendencies, because he’s not only playing well against extra rushers; he’s doing it against all kinds of pressure concepts. 

“With this defense, you never know when they’re going to bring it,” Love said post-game of Steve Spagnuolo’s Chiefs squad. “They do a really good job disguising their stuff, so you kind of always have to be alert for it, try to pick up on the little tells, little keys. On that one to Christian they did end up bringing it, we got to a protection that picked it up, was able to give me enough time to kind of buy some time and let Christian work. I put it up for him and he went up there and made a great play.”

Love was talking about his second touchdown pass of the game to receiver Christian Watson, which came with 5:38 left in the third quarter from the Kansas City 12-yard line. The Chiefs brought a seven-man pressure look with six rushers and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. dropping into coverage in a Cover-0 blitz look. Love had pressure from end George Karlaftis from his front side, so he had to abbreviate it throwing motion, and he still made a great throw to Watson over the head of cornerback Joshua Williams.

Love on the blitz overall:

“I think me personally, it’s just being able to see the stuff. I’ve got more reps, I’m more comfortable, understanding where I need to go with the ball. I think the O-line is doing a great job just being able to pick this stuff up. It’s not easy when they’re bringing all-outs, some of these blitzes, things like that, but they’ve been doing a great job giving me time and then receivers obviously, they’re having awareness of when they need to be open and how long I’ve got and then just going out there and making plays. It’s definitely something we as a team practice. We know some teams are going to bring it and we’ve got to be able to execute and go out there and make sure they don’t do it again.”

Love’s 27-yard throw to receiver Dontayvion Wicks with 13:41 left in the first half was another example of how he dissects those extra rushers. Pre-snap, the Chiefs had a four-man front with linebackers Willie Gay and Jack Cochrane showing off-ball pressure looks. Cochrane dropped and Gay blitzed, which made it four-on-four to Love’s front side. The Packers picked it up well, left tackle Rasheed Walker kept George Karlaftis at bay, and Love hit Wicks on a deep over route against Cover-3.

“There’s a lot,” Love concluded, when asked how he’s grown as a quarterback in the last two seasons. “Two years ago, we weren’t able to pick up the blitz and execute, myself included. I wasn’t playing great. I wasn’t able to capitalize on those moments and now I think we are. I think just from an execution standpoint we played a lot better tonight. We were able to put up a lot of points, which is great, which is something we weren’t able to do the last game. But overall, it was a great win.”

In this week’s “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys got deeper into Love’s success against the blitz of late, and how it’s turned the Packers’ offense around.

Twitter reacts to Titans DL Jeffery Simmons’ TD catch vs. Jags

How Twitter reacted to Titans DL Jeffery Simmons scoring a touchdown in Week 11.

Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons scored his first career touchdown during the Week 11 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

It didn’t end up mattering, as the Titans got blown out by the Jaguars in a 34-14 loss, but it was still fun to see Simmons find pay dirt in the losing effort.

With Tennessee down 34-7 in the fourth quarter, quarterback Will Levis dialed up a pass to the defensive lineman, who secured the catch for the touchdown.

We’ve seen the Titans use Simmons as a blocker this season and he has been hoping to get the ball at some point. The Titans checked that box for him on Sunday.

With the way the Titans’ offense is playing, maybe they should be giving Simmons more looks at wide receiver.

As you’d expect, Titans fans and media weren’t as excited as they would’ve been had the team actually shown up in Week 11. Here’s the reaction:

Ken Adamson, member of Broncos’ inaugural team, dies at 85

Ken Adamson, who played guard for the inaugural Broncos squad and earned AFL All-Star honors in the early 1960s, has died at 85.

A member of the first Denver Broncos team has passed away.

Offensive lineman Ken Adamson died peacefully at his home in California on Tuesday, the Broncos announced. He was 85 years old.

After playing college football at Notre Dame, Adamson was on the inaugural Denver team that helped launch the AFL in 1960. He started 14 games (of a 14-game schedule) in 1960, 12 games in 1961 and four games in 1962 before retiring from pro football.

Adamson’s best year came in 1961 when he earned All-AFL honors from the Associated Press. Adamson was part of an offensive line that blocked for running back Gene Mingo, a two-time AFL All-Star and a member of the Broncos’ Ring of Fame.

Denver went 4-9-1 in its inaugural season, most notably winning the first game in American Football League history 13-10 against the then-Boston Patriots.

The former guard is survived by his wife, Joyce Adamson; brother, David Adamson; three daughters, Kelley, Seanne and Colleen; sons-in-law, Matt and Charlie; and five grandchildren, Sean, Kenny, Clare, Elizabeth and Emily.

Broncos Wire sends condolences to Adamson’s family and friends.
