Been staring at the tape from the last couple outings and specifically watching how Scalley runs his coverages. Utah loves to rotate that boundary safety down into the box on early downs to stop the inside zone, which leaves their single high corner on an island if we can win the leverage battle outside. When we go 12 personnel with Walker Lyons, we actually have the mismatch to exploit that if we run play action off our standard run looks. Gotta keep Retzlaff moving and hit the intermediate breaking routes before their linebackers can drop underneath. Curious how many snaps we see of that look on Saturday.

Great breakdown on the boundary safety stuff. Reminds me of how Puka used to win those exact outside leverage battles before tearing it up in LA. When recruits see guys like Puka and Fred Warner starring on Sundays, they know our scheme translates directly to the pros. Using 12 personnel to stress their box safety is the exact right counter.
