Wrapping up a look tonight at some of the DBs and wanted to put up a couple interesting plays. One with Hill & Fuller, and the other with Williams & Johnson. The plays are very similar, run to two different sides with a drastic difference in how the Rams play them and the result.
Now we don't know what the calls are here. But it does look like a basic two-read on the side where the play is executed. Meaning the receiver who goes deep (5ish+ yards) should be taken by the safety and the CB takes the underneath which allows for better edge contain and a quicker tackle than doing it the other way. Now that said in this situation the read is a bit harder with a RB involved but I presume it's the same responsibility.
The first time we see this play is in the first half.
Pre-snap we have the Rams' standard look. QB is looking at the wideout and thinking easy pitch 'n catch:
At the snap Reeder goes so there's no overhang and it's gonna be Hill & Fuller on the wideout and RB. Notice Fuller btw already moving forward, he's anticipating what's coming.
As the QB starts his throw Hill is not aware of the QB at all and in fact will stay on his selected target. Fuller meanwhile knows what's up and is moving full speed to get around him to the sideline and hopefully prevent a big play.
At the catch Fuller is now almost there, about five yards out. Hill is preoccupied with some grabass lol.
Fuller almost gets him for a short gainer though, which if he had would have been a great play.
8 yard gain and Hill's there to make sure he gets tackled if he gets that first down.
