Beat me to it. Good breakdown by Shockley

Loved the response to the unblocked rusher. Kept his composure, didn't flinch and delivered the pass.

Big-time poise. Give him a little bit of time and he's going to be more than good enough to run this offense.

I saw some claiming he didn’t go through his progressions. They don’t understand that he was doing that presnap, he determined presnap what his primary target was going to be based on the coverage so it created the illusion that the receiver he hit was the primary target called in by AS from the sidelines.

The Saints we’re really throwing some squirrelly coverage packages at him to try and confuse him, but it really didn’t work. He saw what they were doing, amazing for his first game ever as a pro.

These few plays confirm what I have seen all season, many of our route combinations have multiple receivers ending up in the same areas. Doesn't this help defenders as they are already in position to make a play?

Yes, in zone coverage especially, but in man coverage sometimes it’s designed as a rub, to slow/block the defender off his man.

Beat me to it But good breakdown. He is a rookie and he didn’t play well but he showed us some stuff that looks promising. I am looking for growth and his poise and confidence is there.

Same as preseason, loved how nothing rattled him in preseason. Think the kid is going to ball out next year.

On that first play why don't he just rip a bullet pass to that receiver with nobody in front of him? You see Aaron Rodgers do that alot. 

Also on the 3rd play wouldn't that be two receivers runnng the same area/route making it easy on the defense?

I don't know the progression on that, but looks like to me he's reading the front half of the field first and then he'd get to that side. I'm sure he saw that pre-snap but as soon as the LB started to bail that way right in front of him then the easier throw becomes the one to London.

Nice to see a positive breakdown.

didn't even think about bailing. pretty soon he's gonna start hitting those throws and when he does, look out! nd to the comment earlier that said a lot of AS routes have multiple receivers in the same area, they do. but as Ridder gets comfortable he'll start getting a more diverse set of routes like he did with Matt, but Rook gotta crawl before he walk. I've seent enough from my guy to see that we have our QB of the future and he's gonna be fine

[rudy]

Well he looked good in pre-season  LOL

I think London runs the wrong route sometimes. He ran into Pitts vs Browns.

You can kill people with those compressed concepts. That's what McDaniels has been **** near abusing with Tua, it is great for giving a young Qb less of the field to have to worry about. Difference is the Dolphins prioritize speed and agility in their receivers and those short speedsters are a threat to house it every time.

Even with Flacco, I remember it being reported that during that 2012-2013 Superbowl run they reduced the number of reads he had to make and he responded with a legendary postseason.

A "flood" concept is a staple of west coast based offenses. The flood concept is so popular until you often hear other plays described as wanting to "spread the defense out."

Flood concepts are for busting zone coverages

It’s same with a bunch formation with 3 receivers crowded to one side, you either execute a rub in man or flood a zone.

But they shouldn’t be running around next to each other   deep down field. I believe a saw a couple of snaps where our receivers/TEs were within 2 yards of each other way down field. I don’t think that’s by design.

I don't know who our WR coach is, and maybe it's as simple as "London is still a rookie," but this has been a problem for two seasons.  Shanahan was exacting about route running.  He taught it to a micromanaging exhausting detail.  

I'm wondering if we need to re-think how we coach routes, or maybe get a new WRs coach.  It's the WRs coach's job to ensure everyone knows the gameplan.  They don't teach them how to run routes per se in terms of technique, but they do tell them where they're supposed to be, what depth to run the route, etc.
