Okay, for the first (and probably the last) time, I made a video! I often talk about play sequencing and how offensive play-callers try to force the defense into specific defensive rules before breaking them down. Here, I look at Sean Payton’s use of formations and motions — breaking his own tendencies — to rip the Packers over their heads. I discuss the big-picture thinking of FIB, how Payton adapted his old Saints stuff to fit Bo Nix, how he sequenced his plays together, and what it says about the coach.
Side note: This was my first time using any of this video software. I may or may not (I did), have used the wrong microphone. And I may or may not have gotten confused bouncing between the telestrator and the video file (I did), so I missed out some specific details. Anyway, here you go. If you like the videos, let me know and I can see if I improve moving forward
