Cosell’s Coaching Tape: 9/28/09 Notes

COACHING TAPE – WEEK 3

VIKINGS OFFENSE V. 49ERS DEFENSE

Vikings OL still struggled with stunts, This is a continuing problem for the Vikings
S Lewis aligned at LB in the 49ers dime package: Bly was the third corner, and Roman was the third safety; CB Brown also played as the 49ers 6th DB
LG Hutchinson had problems with the bull rush of Justin Smith
Rice 30 yd TD came out of “21” (2 backs and 1 TE) personnel, Straight “I” formation: 49ers blitzed S Lewis from Rice’s side and rolled the other S Goldshon over the top of Berrian, CB Clements played outside leverage versus Rice but he had no help with Goldshon rotated over the top of Berrian
Harvin very effective working the slot: Quick, explosive and powerful
49ers high percentage blitz out of their dime package, Made sense given weakness of Vikings OL in pass protection and Favre’s tendency to get the ball out quick
49ers not a conventional 3-4: The DL often aligned in gaps, and they did  [...]

  • 12-Team Mock Draft Review May 10, 2012
    I did another mock draft last night, this one for Lindys magazine, which will be on newsstands in roughly 6-8 weeks. I cannot post the whole draft, but I can quickly review my picks with some thoughts. As usual, I lost interest toward the end and stopped crossing guys off my list, but it was a pretty solid draft, nevertheless. This was a 12-team mock, non-PP […]

  • First Mock Draft of 2012 May 4, 2012
    I am participating in my first 2012 mock draft today (for Rotowire Magazine), so I figured I would share my picks for those interested on the blog, while I am making them. This is a 14-teamer, which kind of stinks because I was really curious to see how a 12-teammer would go, but this will have to do for now. I’m still developing my Draft Plan for this year, […]

However, SOS is still an element to consider, whic […]
