Does he?

In this video he does not really tell us anything unless somebody watching needs an explanation for gap names A, B, C, D, "whatever".

DLinemen flow to the outside on zone blocking that is going to the outside. There is nothing magic about Collins moving outside.

Collins was never going to "cross the face all the way over" meaning all the way past the Center.

If Collins made any alternate move it would have been to the outside of the OG #75.

The biggest issue is that the video guy is supposed to be telling us how the Cowboys improved but he does not relate this play back to how they might have failed on a similar play in the past.

The other video guy is much better, IMO (The video guy with the acronym for his name, "Christian Okoye" of whatever he calls himself).

Actually I guess there are 3 youtube guys doing the Cowboys videos. The law guy & voch guy are very similar.

Your girl is right.

Time for you to do one.

Remember. Breaking it down is one aspect. You have to have some production value and broadcasting skill too.

That really does not explain how they improved from last season.

He goes over the simplistic issues that most people could see just watching the play.

The reality is that the Cowboys changed up how they play assignments as compared to last season and the Rams game in particular.

The Skins were showing outside run but planning an inside cut back. The Rams did that repeatedly to the Cowboys in the playoff game and you know the results.

If Collins "assignment" was to jump towards the outside and play the gap to the outside of #75, then this play looks entirely differently.

A much better video would be to show a similar play from last season to contrast with this play. There is more to it than Collins just making a good play.

Please post a link to your videos. I would watch them also.

Yes, I've done some video editing this year to go with some text breakdowns that I did but I have not tried doing audio/voice.

I think the "tells" thing was over-blown. They knew that if the 1-tech aligns a certain way in his stance that he was going to try to cross the face of the center but in his alternate alignment he would stay on the side of the center where he was aligned at the snap. The Rams RB would fake to the side where they knew the 1-tech would go and then the RB would cut back to the side they knew the 1-tech would vacate. They Cowboys made an adjustment on that issue (1-tech stance) before half-time. Unfortunately the bigger picture issue with regards to the Rams exploiting the Cowboys defensive assignments (see below) was not something the Cowboys could resolve by making in-game adjustments.

The Rams coaches tweaked their blocking scheme specifically to how the Cowboys play defense.

The Rams found a weakness in the situation where the offense threatens to run outside specifically to the same side where the 1-tech is aligned.

There are open gaps on each side of the 1-tech (no DL in those gaps). That means LBs have to fill those gaps.

The Rams realized that the 1-tech in the Cowboys defense has the assignment to move towards the outside on outside runs. That means he takes himself out of the middle of the field.

Then if they double-team the other DT (backside DT) that cuts him off from getting over to cover any area vacated by the 1-tech.

That leaves the LBs to cover a big gap in the middle. With the 1-tech taking himself out of the middle, that leaves an extra OL to get out to the MLB.

The Rams use motion and their propensity to run jet sweeps, reverses, etc. to hold the other LB on the backside.

When the RB cuts back to the inside it's wide open but not because the Rams OL over-power anybody to did anything wow from a physical perspective.

Once the Rams had success with that, they would run outside and the LBs were delayed getting outside because they were looking for the cut back. They would just have the "free" OLineman move to the outside instead of to the inside of the LB on that side and because the LB was delayed looking for the cut back to the inside, the OLineman was just standing there on the outside between the LB and the RB running outside.

What the Rams did was really simple from a big picture scheme concept but oddly other offenses did not do the same thing against the Cowboys and even now the Skins were running to the 3-tech side. The play that one of those guys that does videos tried to analyze in the Skins game was a run to the 3-tech side and the 3-tech (Colliins) blowing it up to tackle the RB in the backfield.

Having said all of that, I don't want to overlook the fact that the Rams players were very good in executing their scheme. Their OL didn't do anything wow physically, but they all executed their assignments with precision.

The Cowboys have changed some things up on the DL assignments this year but it's difficult to know if it will resolve the issues against a team like the Rams.

Easily the best breakdown I've seen on what happened against the Rams. Nice job, man.

That's not the type of videos Voch and others you listed make, and that's why people watch him. He has a personality that people actually like, while he goes through techniques and what a player physically did to stop the run.

He doesn't breakdown and compare what packages and assignments stopped the run. If that is what you were looking for, then you gotta make that yourself for each situation. There's a market and need for those types of videos. You gotta be likable though...

Sounds to me as if a gap plugging NT would make a huge difference.
