Play-by-play notes on Commanders offense vs Titans

Breaking down each play from the Commanders offense in their victory over the Titans

I tried out a new format for Monday posts last week where I gave my notes of each offensive play after my initial watch through of the All-22. That post was incredibly popular based on the numbers and the comments from you all, so I’m trying it again this week. I wanted to add a few clips of key plays, but the footage came out late for me today so I just figured I’d get this up instead of wait another hour or two to add in a few clips.

Hope you all enjoy and let me know your thoughts for if you still like this format and suggestions to potentially improve it!

Drive 1 - 3 plays, 59 yards - Touchdown

1st&10 - Arrow concept to the left, slot fade to the right. Quarters coverage vs slot fade, takes hitch to McLaurin outside.

1st&10 - Bow Concept, Titans play soft, take away the basic cross, Daniels hits the spot route to Noah Brown quickly.

2nd&1 - GT Counter read-option. Titans ran the worst possible run stunt into it, enabled right side to collapse line down. Allegretti kicks out edge, Coleman wraps for the safety. Bates just about pins the Mike inside. Noah Brown makes a good block on the CB outside. Robinson untouched for 40 yard TD.

Drive 2 - 11 plays, 80 yards - Touchdown

1st&10 - Motion Bates to FB, insert into run scheme. Simmon stunts, Cosmi/Biadasz wash him down the line, Bates inserts to block the LB, nice lane for Robinson

2nd&6 - Tried to hit their play-action deep curls, Titans covered both well. Had checkdown to McCaffrey in flat but found scramble lane up the middle instead. Robinson solid blitz pick up after fake.

3rd&1 - Missile concept with McLaurin in the slot. Hit him quickly. Robinson strong blitz pick up again.

1st&10 - Heavy play-action, Jet sweep and pull Cosmi, all to set up TE screen. Odd they only get Allegretti out in front of it.

2nd&4 - Inverted GT Counter Read. Jet sweep hand off option, Daniels replaces RB on the GT Counter inside. Daniels cut his run back inside instead of following pullers, led to Simmons peeling off Lucas and forcing a holding call.

2nd&4 - Same Bates motion to FB we saw at start of drive, this time he kicks out the DE on Duo. Coleman and Allegretti get terrific movement on DT for Robinson to run behind.

3rd&1 - Read-option run, Simmons run stunt inside helps out, Biadasz washes him down the line. Cosmi kicks out LB, creates big lane that back side LB isn’t able to fill in time.

1st&10 - Play-action bootleg. Leak concept, Titans covered it well. Daniels forced to scramble.

2nd&5 - Simple stick concept with McLaurin and Ertz, LB works to flat, CB sinks to deep quarter, McLaurin wide open.

1st&10 - RPO, might have been a misread by Daniels as LB left unblocked in the hole, McNichols does a great job bouncing the run.

!st&Goal - 13 personnel Duo. Biadasz and Allegretti do a great job on Simmons, Biadasz strong finish while Allegretti peels off. McNichols finds lane between them.

2nd&Goal - Unbalanced line to force front to slide left, play-action pick play to the right, trying to get Ertz free in the flat. Titans cover it well, Daniels goes off-script and finds a lane to score.

Drive 3 - 3 plays, 24 yards - Touchdown

1st&10 - Trap scheme, both guards pull and trap to their left. Cosmi runs over 3-tech, nice lane up the middle for Robinson.

2nd&2 - Allegretti missed block on Simmons stunting inside, Robinson tried to bounced it but slot blitzed free off the edge.

3rd&2 - 13 personnel, heavy play-action, trying to hit Sinnott in the flat on a Spider 2 Y Banana type play, Titans cover it well. Daniels progresses, finds McLaurin crosser in end zone for TD.
