the analytical framework structured around the primary film tendencies and structural issues from that matchup:
Play Frequency by Field Zone & Hash (85-Snap Model)
| Field Zone | Left Hash | Middle of Field | Right Hash | Total Snaps | Run / Pass Split | Primary Focus / Look |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Backed Up (Own 1–20) | 4 | 7 | 3 | 14 | 71% Run / 29% Pass | Heavy base personnel, interior runs, off-tackle leverage |
| Open Field (Own 21 – Opp 40) | 16 | 13 | 18 | 47 | 55% Run / 45% Pass | Boundary run concepts, quick-game perimeter screens, zone reads |
| Plus Territory (Opp 39 – Opp 20) | 5 | 4 | 6 | 15 | 47% Run / 53% Pass | Play-action shots, short-yardage power, rollout concepts |
| Red Zone & Goal-to-Go (Opp 19–In) | 3 | 4 | 2 | 9 | 67% Run / 33% Pass | Compressed alignments, goal-line fronts, quick flat reads |
| Totals | 28 | 24 | 33 | 85 | 59% Run / 41% Pass | — |
Three Defensive Vulnerabilities Left Unexploited
- Over-Aggressive Boundary Edge Pursuits (Lack of Cutback & Bootleg Counters): Defensive ends and outside linebackers frequently pinned their ears back to crash inside on boundary-side off-tackle flow. Rather than punishing this downhill aggression with backside bootlegs, naked keepers, or weak-side misdirection counters, repeated runs were fed directly into collapsed boundary gaps.
- Vacated Intermediate Seams Behind Aggressive Run-Fit Linebackers: The second-level linebackers consistently triggered downhill on initial mesh and play-action fakes between the 20s. The space vacated at 10–14 yards over the middle of the field remained largely unthreatened; quick seam routes, glance routes, and deep digs behind the crashing linebackers were rarely dialed up to exploit the single-high safety void.
- Soft Cushion on Wide-Side / Field Flats Against Condensed Sets: When aligned on either the left or right hash, perimeter defensive backs gave deep cushion to the wide field side to prevent vertical fades. Quick perimeter access—specifically boundary-to-field quick out-breaking routes, bubble screens, and sprint-outs—was underutilized to force edge defenders to tackle in open space before pursuit could recover.
