This is great Alex. It seems that Canada's offense frequently gave away plays based on formation and personnel. This will be a welcome addition.
I'm excited for it.
This feels like a professional level version of what Canada was doing. I'm interested in the variations for the pass routes. Those were horribly basic with Canada. We saw Johnson, Freiermuth, and Pickens give up a lot on routes.
The concern is effectively countering the defense and using more of the field. Smith is pulling 10 men within 5 yards of the line, how is he opening up routes for the receivers?
You’re the only Steelers content I would ever consume in February. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate you, Pat!
I'll admit, after listening to some other people discuss the situation I'm excited for this offense. I'm really excited for the O Line. Someone brought up how well Arthur Smith builds his O Lines. Pickett may benefit from the increase in play actions.
I like the variations off of the same look and I like Arthur Smith. I am still concerned about the passing game. Can you dig up some of his passing concepts? Thanks Alex
I hope to!
Might have to go back to Tenn for that! I hope he bring the structure and consistency we haven’t had since Haley and Arians before him.
As a falcons fan, I’m telling yall Arthur smith is trash
Both in Atl and Tenn, you see a mental toughness in his offenses. I like the pick up. I’m hopeful they can be a tough ball control offense.
This seems like a big difference. In Matt Canadas offense I always felt like I could see the pre-snap formation and tell you the exact play. If I can do it from my couch, there's no doubt NFL defenses can.
I like it...I like it a lot
Here We Go Steelers 💪🏽
FANTASTIC breakdown, Alex. Add better WR's, maybe a roll-out into the mix, maybe a planned QB run (if the QB has the chops)... very well conceived. It really reminds me of pitching mechanics in baseball... keep the wind-up, arm angle, follow-thru the same... and they will never know whether it is a fastball, breaking ball or change. No tells. Then, add in an intentional tell (misdirection)... they don't know whether they're coming or going!
With good execution and good blocking from WR's... this could work all day. Again, Alex... great work.
Thank you!
Tenessee's offenses while he was there are what we should be looking at.
Really like these break downs thank you and keep them coming.
We will!
Good stuff here Alex, great breakdown. I'm excited to see all the ins and outs of this run game and how well it'll work next year
Me too!
This is great. I look forward to seeing more of this. By the time the season arrives, I'm going to understand and appreciate what I'm watching in so much more detail thanks to you.
Great breakdown Alex. I was at this game and I just can’t forget how boring both offenses were, I discussed it with other fans at the game. Hope Arthur does better in Pittsburgh
Thank you...
The Steelers defended those plays very well. When done with our offensive players it will be lethal.
Thanks Alex 😊
If you know Arthur Smith’s upbringing then you know this guy probably wanted for nothing. His PASSION is football. I believe he’s more concerned with producing a winner than collecting a paycheck. And we as fans of the game know this model is a winner no matter who you are talking about.
The Falcons game against Cleveland is a good one.
I'll try and check it out.
great vid. would love to see some seam routes to muth out of this grouping too, will be interesting to see what happens!
This is what a NFL level OC brings to the table. Multiple different plays out of the same formations. Canada had no such thing! I would watch the Steelers and tell my wife what type of play was coming with probably 90% accuracy sitting on my couch. Not bragging just trying to point out the predictability.
Now the NFL pays people a great deal of money to figure this out and i'm sure they did. I remember an opposing teams linebacker, can't remember the team specifically, stating they knew what play was coming from the Steelers!
I would appreciate more passing options out of the formation and not just PA pass, but maybe that is something smith does?
He will use a lot of PA. Not many examples here but higher playaction rate is a guarantee under Smith.
@@Alex_Kozora you think he’ll incorporate some quick pass game out of these formations as well?
@@mustangs1140 off play action, a little bit. Some dig/Glance routes.
Its called football 4 a reason...throw the ball...play action opens pickens and johnson...bombs away pickett
Great stuff as usual Alex! A player keeps catching my eye that I think would fit perfect in our new offense... Jaheim Bell: TE - FSU. Although I'm a Connor Heyward fan, I see him as an upgrade. I'd love to hear what you think.
Good tape
Washington...the beast
...any help on blocking...
Steelers fans will hate this guy by year two, if not by year one.
I love the variation in playcalls out of the same formation and shift, but I would like to see it utilized systematically and not randomly. For example, you want to see on tape how the defense is going to align to the formation, and the first scripted call should take advantage of that alignment. If the safety follows the shift, zone run to the weakside. Then when the defense adjusts by going to LB pushes or Dline shifts instead of the safety following, hit them with the strongside power. The key is ALWAYS winning the numbers game, not just keeping the defense guessing. QB run game audibles would be great too. If its a weakside zone but the safety stays in the hole like minkah did on one example, the QB should have the ability to check into a strongside run or even a play action if its 1 high with the box loaded. Thats where I felt like matt canada’s scheme was truly lacking, aside from the piss poor pass concepts and lack of PA. Far too often they were running jet sweep into unblocked boundary players or into over fronts where they were losing the numbers game and the rbs had to make multiple guys miss. If arthur smith’s weakside zone hits big, don’t immediately go to strong power. Run that weakside two or three times, force that adjustment by the defense, and have the counter ready. By doing that you can have more confidence in what the defense is going to show, and thus make better playcalls to exploit it
We really won games despite Canada and not because of Canada….
Hey 👋 Alex could you compare Matt canada play calls vs arthur smith
Because arthur smith offense kinda looks like what Matt Canada's wanted to do.
The more videos I see tryingto show Art Smith in a good light the more concerned I become. Running from this formation went well because of the excellent blocking which the Steelers did not have this season. Furthermore Najee is not good running the outside zone. Sure Jaylen would be good running the outside zone but with only him behind the QB it defeats the advantages shown here.
The numbers on Harris OZ runs are better than I thought. He's actually done well on those schemes.
I'm not as thrilled with the hire of smith.
Really wanted Zac Robinson. An elite offensive mind that is more pass oriented. Steelers want to run the ball so I guess Arthur Smith is a perfect fit for them 😢
Heavy. PA. Get a good pass game coordinator. Who knows?
how is 8 runs out of 9 plays unpredictable??
Because there are six different actual play calls
First I would have to ask how this compares to what HE ran as OC in Tenn. some of this can be his OC in Atl. Next, So far none of those type runs look very Najee friendly! Najee is NOT and outside runner! He’s not quick enough for that! They look good for say Jaylen. Also, most of them were stopped dead in their tracks and any nice gains were due to the RB making a good move to get extra yards! I sure hope this isn’t what our offense will look like!
Najee actually has a higher YPC on outside zone runs than inside zone runs.
Is this really his offense
Yes.
Sure miss Terrell Edmund’s… and boy did bush suck.
I know Madden isn’t reality but this is exactly what I used to do to stay unpredictable. In hindsight I realize I was probably being too clever because the AI isn’t smart enough to be fooled like that.
Yeahhh good luck with that...from a Falcons fan. His offense was 1 dimensional and predictable especially when down by a couple TD's.
😄😄😄
What I got from this is, play a defense that misses tackles, and has Devlin Bush. Of 9 plays in the same formation, only 1 was a play action pass, that was well covered. Those 9 plays = 63 yards, yet their other 16 runs netted 66 total yards and zero TDs combined. That the Matt Canada's simplistic, easy to decode offense put up 351 total yards to Smith's 306...and Steelers won. Nice. Looking forward to next season.
That really misses the point. I'm talking about the concept, which worked well. The layers to good play calling and scheme.
You make valid points. But also, both Najee and Jaylen are better than Patterson. And look how many people are in the box for the Steelers. If teams have to commit that much to the box then Pickens will beat them. I'm sure they stayed with the run so much because it was working and it kept their defense off they field because in their defense was getting beat.
@@vincentadams2534 Well, the Falcons had Tyler Allgeier and Patterson, (2023 they added Bijan Robinson...2 first round draft picks at RB on the team). I too would like to believe Najee & Jaylen are better, hopefully we're not biased. lol My biggest concern is using Najee east & west. We know Jaylen thrives being used that way, as well as screen passes. I would love to see Najee not on screens, but wheel routes where he is most dangerous as a pass catcher. I just would have preferred to see at least 3 out of those 9 plays be a play action pass, otherwise defenses will bank on a run, stop them, like we did here. We don't have an O-Line (yet) and only Washington is a run blocking TE as Freiermuth & Heyward are below average.
@@Alex_Kozora Another hidden reply. Lets try again. I understood what you were illuminating. Others have said it here. I extrapolated out from what those layers of good play calling translates into actual production, and having it in direct comparison to the universally denounced Canada offense...which produced more and a win. Production greatly helped by missed tackles. It's not that I liked Canada's offense either.
@@mc1993 I did not hide your reply, if that's what you're getting at.
Patterson should have been dropped for 3 yard loss on the first clip if Highsmith had wrapped him up.
Bruh, you run 1k plays and cherry pick some that worked. Most of them did not in the 3 years he was in Atlanta and we had to watch every possession fizzle out and the occasional scoring drive. If y’all honestly believe this idiot can draw up plays (CONSISTENTLY) you’re mistaken.
lol smith is awful, have fun with our leftovers
Great job Alex! Please do more of these. It also would be nice to see what you could come up with on Arther’s passing game to see how it projects to fit Kenny like the presnap reads and going through post snap to see how the receiver progression reads look. I enjoy your breakdown and will definitely look for more!
I hope to dive into it!
Since Canadas' play design almost telegraphed plays to the defense, I'd have to say that Arthur Smiths' designs look brilliant, in comparison. Good job.
You’re comparing a mouse to an elephant tho 😂. Ofc it looks brilliant
This breakdown is what I was looking for awesome work thank you
Thanks for watching!
This disguise of play is what Canada promised us along with play action. Smith's offense is the proven NFL version that we have been waiting for. Finally. Here we go.
Geez...is this guy the best the Steelers could do!
Get Gentry back...blocker / pass catch /... the man is a QB dammit...use your weapons
Mr gentry n i grew up in albq nm ... el dorado ... the man can throw an accurate football
The future is looking exceedingly promising for Darnell Washington, this offensive scheme would put him to great use- Arthur smith is probably the best fit on how the Steelers Organization want to run their football team. - Alex, I commend you on a remarkable job, thanks for the insight
Thanks for watching!
i can say this. sometimes smith may call a good possesion. but then when you need it the most he will overthink and you will find your team 1st and goal and he will outsmart himself and u will settle for a fg
This film just reminded me of how bad Devin Bush was lol
Alex with the consistency as usual! Keep up the great work
Thanks for watching!
Call me crazy but i like najii warren and bell at the same time in this formation
I wouldn't count on Bell being part of this roster.
Take bell to antonios house... now these p.o.s. wanna be a Steeler ? Absolutely not at any price
Nice video Alex...now an example like this from the passing game please!
Hopefully we keep those Canada jet sweeps
Warren is going to be a PROBLEM in these outside zone runs
Agreed - not sure how this suit Harris though
