OK, back with the DVR and the Browns game, first drive of OT. Its 3rd and 1 and the entire play design and Packer defense are set for a short yardage play.

Browns in 11 personnel I believe (definitely 1 back) and they show balanced formation (2 receivers outside each tackle) out of huddle but quickly motion to four man bunch on (Defense's) right. Packers are in single high safety with Jones and Burnett in slot, Randall and Hawkins outside and HaHa deep.

Looks like man and they are doing the zone to matchup man thing deal with the bunch with Jones and Hawkins hanging back to take last man or deep outside route. Burnett is pressing the receiver on the LOS. Randall is one on one with Gordon.

At the snap Kizer looks immediately to left for Gordon on the slant but Randall is bumping him and in his front pocket, not trailing, making a slant throw a problem. Kizer cannot wait a moment because Matthews has pushed the RT into Kizer. He steps OUTSIDE to give himself a new throwing lane (still looking for Gordon) because Matthews is there with an upraised arm to get in the slant throwing lane.

This backfires because Matthews is still there and picks off Daniels blocker as Daniels runs to meet Kizer outside. That forces Kizer to retreat back toward the middle. That brings Ryan into the backfield because he has no near him to cover. The TE/WR (81) route in the middle is with Burnett.

Ponch, Burnett, Jones and Hawkins are dealing with the four receivers on the other side. But Kizer bailing outside on Matthew first rush brings Dix up on the left to help Randall who is the obvious target and then to chase Kizer. This leaves no one deep, which is a fine call for a short play designed to convert 3rd and 1, but is a terrible design to stop two deep routes on an extended play that we are about to have.

Nice veteran play by Brooks who hangs back on his rush in case that bunch went bubble screen. He either intercepts it or plants someone in the turf. When RB and TE both head outside, he rushes.

If you want proof the play is for Gordon, the backside receivers not only don't get a look, but the curl is covered, Jones is on the flat the TE is running but the RB (uncovered) is running a flat as well, two steps in front of the TE. As Kizer first breaks the pockets, all Browns receivers head are looking for the ball to come out.

Jon and Pinch are playing zone and patrolling the first down line. It was a good defensive call for this play BUT someone did blow coverage on the RB as they don't need five interior defenders with 3 out of 5 receivers running outside routes.
