What would be your first Offensive play on Sunday

One of the most important things to do early in the game is to identify how the defense is going to line up against formations and how they adjust to motions.  We used to run the first 10 plays of the game in different formations and motions and copy down how they align and adjust to find their weak points.  

 

I think we line up Shotgun, CMC on the right, Tight end trips left  with Curtis Samuel as #3 (will give Norv and idea quickly how they align to trips and trips motion adjustments).  DJ Moore as the X receiver to the right.  So pre motion, looks like it going to be and edge run to the left with CMC (He stays to help block) running to our strong (left) side.  Then we jet motion Curtis to the right (to give the appearance of a jet sweep, which would make sense because it would be running away strength and from Donald).  

Newton quickly fakes the jet, then gives a glance to Curtis in the flat as a screen, but Nope, with LA thinking that Cam might not be able to throw the deep ball, we hit DJ Moore on a deep post.  Depending on their checks, This would probably give us a favorable match up.  I would imagine they would check C3 to get 8 in the box with the TE. (Depends on scouting), but I think the fake jet sweep will slow their Dline rush down just enough to give DJ time to get deep, and I feel like the safety would have eyes on Samual being in motion.  DJ is the first look, then check down to either Greg in the middle of the field (if the deep safety doesnt bite and goes with DJ), or if it is C3 and the CB with DJ bails fast then check down to Samual in the flats.

Off tackle hand off to CMC. Keep it simple and let the starters settle in. Don’t even care if we go run, run, run, punt. The starters have barely played together and it’s a long game and a long season. I can take a 3 and out on the first series if it helps knock some rust off and let’s the offense feel comfortable.

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
