FIRST PLAY OUT OF THE GATE
1st quarter, 15:00
Yeldon takes the handoff out of the shotgun and hits the leftside B gap for 4 yards.
Chiefs are ALREADY in nickel, like, to start the game. Howard is shading the center to the left, and Poe is directly over the RT. The only player we have at the LOS where the play is going is Zombo, who's standing up to the outside shoulder of the LT. He is easily blocked out.
Howard sees the play going behind the LG and bursts to eat up the gap, which he does excellently. However Yeldon just darts up the gut to the space Howard vacated. Both guards release to the second level and negate Wilson and DJ, and Poe is like a mile away from the middle of the line.
Wilson does wriggle free and take Yeldon down immediately.
This is actually pretty good run defense out of the nickel.
