I went back to Rex Ryan and his exotic pressure looks back when he was a coordinator in 2015 and 2016.
He had some great pressure concepts that really caused some confusion. One of the innovators of his time, Rex was one of the best at bringing pressure on 3rd down.
One thing about Rex is that he could always dial up some pressure.
Here's a 3rd and 10 3-3 personnel, 6 man pressure with cover 1
Rex brings 6 with man free principles from his ameba look and the sam off the edge
Here's the endzone look
It goes off Frank Gore's hands and they have to punt.
3rd and 8
Rex is in his base 4-3 personnel and showing pressure.
He brings 7 with someone with some peel rules. The DE williams comes from the lb spot.
He has williams a def lineman, blitzing from depth.
Lucky for LUck he throws behind the wr or its a pick 6 the other way.
On 3rd and 10. Colts are in 11 personnel. The Bills run an overload pressure. They force the Colts to keep 7 in again and run a 3 man pattern.
Defense front pressure coverage
dime 3-2 2 off the edge combo(man on the outside)
On a key 3rd and 5
The Eagles decide to go 5 man protection and the Bills bring 6. This causes an issue in protection as the ILB comes free as the guard takes the safety. Also, the Eagles are free releasing the back so are one man less short. Luckily Bradford sees it and throws the slant vs it.
The defense is dime with 2 lb and 3 def lineman in the game. They overload the left side but bring the pressure on the right side
Protection wise, you want the tackle on 94 so you have to decide what you want to do inside. Do you slide? 1/2 man slide it. Well they free release it. The Left guard takes the lb.
3rd and 6
spread
Jags run slant out combos to both sides.
Out of dime , the Bills bring a 6 man pressure. Both lb to the one side and the safety away from the back. They play man free with the concept. The Jaguars pick it up and run a 4 man slide with the back coming across. The pressure forces a quick poor throw and the Bills get off the field.
This just a sneak preview of some of the more pressures Rex has showed over the years. Great stuff from a great football mind.
