Defensive Series #2 Punt
Contributor: Pats1
Time: 5:27 remaining in the first quarter
Statistics: 5 plays (2 run, 3 pass), 19 yards (10 run, 9 pass), time of possession was 2:53
Breakdown: 2 green plays (0 run, 2 pass) for 5 yds., 1 black play (1 run, 0 pass) for 3 yds., 2 red plays (1 run, 1 pass) for 11 yds. (6 run, 5 pass).
1st and 10 Den 36
Result: Pass, Lelie, 5 yard hook, 5 yds.
Offense: 3 WR, 2 left, 1 right, TE down off RT, Bell lone RB.
Defense: 3-4, Bruschi, Vrabel, and Colvin all bob around showing blitz, Hobbs 5 yards off his man, Samuel begins to back off into a zone right before the snap.
Blocking: Seymouris doubled by the LT and LG
Wilfork gives the RG a hefty shove but the pass is too quick for penetration
Warren can’t get much on the RT
Vrabel blitzes but is pushed into Seymour and the LG by the C - gets a hand up but can’t tip the pass
Coverage: Bruschi drops behind Bell’s underneath route before breaking off on the pass
McGinest and the TE skirmish on the edge
Samuel opens his body to the field and drops back into a zone, allowing Lelie’s short hook
Colvin at first was lined up over the slot WR before showing blitz, jamming the slot WR off the snap, and then noticing Lelie leaping for the ball and will make the crushing tackle upon Lelie’s landing to keep the play at 5 yards
Analysis: Great awareness by Colvin here to notice Lelie’s route and leap, break off his jam, and get there quickly enough to make the tackle this time, unlike the previous Lelie reception where he would miss the tackle and Samuel would almost as well.
2nd and 5 Den 41
Result: Scramble, Plummer, up the middle, play action, 6 yds.
Offense: 3 WR, 2 left, 1 right, TE down off RT, Bell lone RB.
Defense: 3-4, Colvin and Hobbs pressure coverage on the slot WR left, Hawkins 5 yards off the RWR, Wilson on the fringes of the box talking to Bruschi at the snap
Blocking: Seymouris able to beat the LG outside when Colvin blitzes inside on the LT, lowering his shoulder into the right side of the LG, allowing Seymour to seize the opportunity with a disoriented blocker to beat the edge, but the LT is able to push Seymour enough behind Plummer that there can’t be a sack, but there is a scramble
Wilfork can’t get around the C and RG but holds his ground, breaking off the C’s block and in part forcing Plummer’s slide, albeit for a first down
Warren starts to swim his way around the RT but Plummer scrambles because of other penetration
Colvin blitzes inside but is pushed from behind by the LG across Plummer’s face, and in accord with Seymour’s penetration behind Plummer forces the scramble
Coverage: Vrabel shadows Bell’s play action and subsequent route underneath, drawing Vrabel away from the scramble
Bruschi spies Plummer in a zone but was a tad too deep, not able to force a slide quickly enough to prevent a first down
McGinest does a stare-down with the stationary TE before dropping off in a short zone behind the TE’s standing nothingness, breaking off on the scramble
Hobbs follows the slot WR’s deep route
Samuel does his customary opening of the body to the field, staying a few yards ahead of his man
Analysis: The Bronco LG Hamilton and LT Lepsis did a great job of recovering from Patriot penetration by shoving Seymour and Colvin away from Plummer. Bruschi was caught off guard from a pretty quick Bronco snap, as he was making adjustments with Hobbs when the surprise snap came. Then, Bruschi repeatedly looked to his right while waving his arm towards the line, at possibly Hobbs’ single coverage and skirmish with the slot WR downfield. When he turned back to the play for about the third time, he noticed Plummer’s scramble but couldn’t stop the slide in time.
1st and 10 Den 47
Result: Run, Bell, left tackle, 3 yds.
Offense: 2 WR, 1 right, 1 left (in motion from right slot), TE down off LT, FB weak side, Bell RB.
Defense: 3-4, DL bunched over C, Colvin showing blitz left edge, McGinest showing blitz right edge after breaking off coverage of the WR in motion, Samuel 7 yards off the RWR, Hawkins comes down 5 off the RWR, Hobbs 5 yards behind Hawkins.
Blocking: Seymourslides the LG laterally with the play before breaking off with jelly-like ease to make the stop on Bell
Wilfork drives the RG into the backfield before using brute force to break off his block and help out on the tackle from behind
Warren has the RT chopping right in front of him, tripping Wilfork to the ground
Colvin is driven just wide of the run by the TE and is eventually pushed onto the tackle, back-first
Bruschi slides with the play but is spun to the ground by the LT
Vrabel is able to evade a chop from the C coming out, but is thrown off-balance as a result
McGinest evades a disoriented FB on the other side of the line but is too far away from the play
Hawkins and Hobbscome in quickly as insurance on the tackle
Analysis: 2 words: Big Sey. Nothing more needs to be said. The Bronco FB came up looking for Vrabel, who was already being targeted by Nalen. But, even a FB wouldn’t have helped here.
