Bucky Irving 43-Yard Breakdown, Maxx Crosby Motor, Baker Mayfield 2022 Miracle on TNF

From second-and-six in the fourth quarter against the Panthers, Bucky Irving scored on a 43-yard rush. In the Criss Cross Wham concept, Payne Durham delivered a block on the inside to create a lane, as did Cody Mauch. In a wham run concept, a tight end or fullback pulls a defensive lineman instead of a guard and throws him out. In addition, Cade Otton moved forward, blocking the edge and keeping Jadeveon Clowney at bay. Irving quickly accelerated north through the hole, using his twitching feet and change-of-direction skills to maximize yards gained. This play and Irving’s performance contributed to the Bucs having a strong floor performance against Carolina.

“It was a Wham influence – a Wham piece that we had designed,” Coen explained. “We tried Wham variations throughout the year, but this one was specific to their base defensive structure where the tight ends got in the way a little bit there, which confused their linebackers a little bit in a way.” I think Bucky did managed to secure the post and stiffen it. It was really well planned by our guys and I think Cody Mauch did a phenomenal job in that game – the way they played so hard was something that makes you smile.

Maxx Crosby currently leads the Raiders in sacks with 7.5 and has the most tackles for loss in the NFL since 2019. He has played every defensive snap in six consecutive games for Las Vegas (387) while maintaining strong conditioning. Crosby gives 100% on every snap and has 19 quarterback hits in 2024. His great commitment and his relentless manner in the trenches set him apart. Crosby can take over a game and every offensive coordinator has to game plan for him. He uses his length to create separation and has the ability to take over a game. On Sunday, the Bucs offensive line will face one of the league’s most dominant edge rushers in Mad Maxx.

“He doesn’t stop,” Coen noted. “He never stops. Our goal this week is: How can we play longer and harder than him? Because he will accompany every single move with the echo of the whistle. He has a lot of respect. I did.” Baker (Mayfield) had given him a ton of respect in his first game (with the Rams) in 2022 (and) he led the way with a two-minute drive to win. ve We have to have a plan for him, both in the run and the pass, and also be able to make sure from a playing point of view that he doesn’t influence and influence the game in a negative way.

In 2022, Baker Mayfield made a miracle comeback against the Raiders on Thursday Night Football. Mayfield was released by the Panthers on Monday and claimed by the Rams on Tuesday. Two days of preparation and a cross-country flight required Mayfield to lead two drives in the fourth quarter, culminating in a 23-yard scoring pass to Van Jefferson with ten seconds left. This 98-yard march down the field was the longest touchdown attempt in the final two minutes of a game in the last 45 NFL seasons. In that game, Mayfield completed 22 of 35 attempts for 230 yards, defying the odds to give the Rams an impressive 17-16 victory. From the two-yard line, with no timeouts and under two minutes left in regulation, Mayfield did the improbable. Liam Coen, the Rams’ former offensive coordinator in 2022, remembered the late night before the miracle on the gridiron.

“I only remember one study session that took place around 12:30 p.m. when he entered the building around 10 p.m. that evening,” Coen said. “We did pretty well until about 1:00. He went home to the hotel, got some rest, and the next morning we were back at it at 6:30 or 7:00, and that’s what we did until then.” I just remember how we were before We sat in Sean (McVay’s) office after the game and said, ‘Hey, he’s going to play in this game at some point, let’s just leave this game with some positives to look forward to for the end of the season.’ I remember Sean vividly saying, ‘If we win this game it will be a miracle.’ That’s what happened. It was really cool.
