While the result of each football game is influenced by 22 players on the side of each team, a niche, micro -level battles add an additional layer of nuances. This includes players or units fighting face to face or defensive coaches trying to surpass the opposing defender.

Looking back at Iteration of the conference championship of this repeating articleFocus on Accounts“Run the game” (0.021 EPA per game, only one meals) and Jalen hurts“Passing the game action (75.4 PFF Passage), of course, helped decide which teams reached the new Orleans. With the Super Cup 59, celebrating the third time in two years, when the leaders and eagles are fighting, acquaintance with these commands means that the coaches of all the stops are stopped to change the trends.

Whether it is power against power, weakness against weakness or just an individual war with a great consequence, here are five matches in which you can concentrate in a 59 Super Cup.

The movement of leaders against the defense of the eagles

When two Powerhouses leave the championship battle, everyone wants to see iron against iron. This is exactly what this chess match will be when the leaders have a ball.

Although Kansas The city takes the eighth place in terms of shift/movement speed (69.1%), the leader put the fifth according to EPA per game, the third in terms of success and 13tour In medium yards for the game when implementing the preliminary movement. In the play -off, the leaders used movement with an even higher speed, increasing this indicator from 68.2% to 78%. This is not a shocker Travis Kels And Xavier is worthy The rank in the top -22 among all offensive players in motion.

Meanwhile, fierce the defense of Philadelphia tightened this year. Eagles are the first to sit in the EPA for the game, the second place in the success indicator and the first in the middle yards for the game, when the crimes are opposed to the movement.

What really carries is Jet Motion, where the player passes tightly through the formation before Snap. The leaders seem to prevail in this dimension, given that the Jet Motion gave the eagle for some time suitable for this season. This year, Philadelphia takes 26th place in EPA for the game and 21st place in success against Jet Motion, while leaders occupy the second place in the EPA for the game and 13th place in the success indicator when contacting it. It is noteworthy that in 45 plays he was staged, the fifth majority of NFL players.

In the Super Cup 57, Kanzas -City movement broke the defense of the eaglesFrom two late landings with reverse movement to help Pave Lanes in the game Run. It is unlikely that Andy Reed will deviate from his formula, which means that Vika Fangii’s division will have to remain disciplined.

Sakuon Barkley In the internal zones against the protection of the leaders

Although the eagles have improved in several areas since the last game in the Super Cup, the largest adjustment is the presence of Barkley. The attacking player of the year Rontrunner was a superman throughout the year, and inside the zones were a catalyst.

Among the players with 30 or more attempts in the zone, 77.6 PFF Barkley 77.6 PFFs take fifth place, and its 787 rushing yards lead the league – 385 yards. Barkley is also a peak in the first falls (41), explosive runs (15) and yards after contact (497) in the internal zones. Below is the distribution of 442 rushing yards of Barkley into this post -zone, and it is clear that the internal zone reigns.

Sakuon Barkley: Post -zone haste

Meanwhile, Steve’s defense spaggolo firmly opposed the inner zone. Leaders 10 occupy 10tour The PFF Run Defense team, the ninth in EPA for the game and the eighth in medium rushing yards after contact for the transfer, having the seventh of the lowest percentage of a negative variety against these views. At the same time Kansas -City 24tour In the explosive speed of the run, 23RD. In the racing yards before contact for the transfer and the 21st in the middle yards for transfer against the inner zone.

One of the largest mysteries of Orlov in the Super Cup 57 did not generate a rapid game with the backs, thereby relying on Jalen hurtslegs. If Barkley can use his success inside the zone against the leaders, this can prove the difference from two years ago.

The interest of the Eagles’ Run concept in this post -zone

Patrick Mahome Throwing the middle of the middle against the eagles

As Mohames and the crime of leaders developed during their dynastic launch, the middle of the field became only a more monetary zone. The opposing defense did not have much success in the neutralization of this territory, but the eagles could have ingredients.

This season, like many before, the middle of the field was the Magomes region. Three -time champion takes second place in its volume of such shots, and its 1.9% rate worthy of turnover is the sixth of the lowest among the qualifying ones. Over the past four posters, Mohames is easily headed by the league in attempts between Heshi, making a 93.0 PFF elite with zero plays worthy of turnover.

These figures would struck the fear of any defender, but Vick Fangii can be more convenient than the majority, given how well his protection closed this region this year. This season, “Orls” take the first place in assessing the command cover, first in EPA for the game, first in terms of success and the third in the ranking of passers -by are allowed to shifts in the middle. Among qualified defenders this year, Rid Blankenschip And Darius Sly Both are included in the TOP -17 PFF ratings for such attempts, while Slay and Quiinon Mitchell Sit in the top -12 among the qualified defenders of the post -zone.

IN Arizona Two seasons ago, Mohames fulfilled 15 out of 18 of his attempts with an average rating for passing 77.2 PFF and 83.3% of the adjusted percentage of completion. Will the eagles stop the dynamic connection of Mohames and Kels in this range – thus, forcing the deeper attempts where they will have the top – or the procurement of the leaders will continue by sending passages to their hot point?

Jalen hurts Against the pressure of the leaders

Harts enjoyed his best game in the postsesone – and, perhaps, his entire season of 2024 – against the commanders in the title game of NFC. The huge component was his best game under pressure, which, as a rule, was the biggest obstacle to his offensive success and eagles.

Hurts ‘Hurts’ 32.9 PFF passing under pressure this season takes the second place among qualified defenders, and its ratio from pressure and 23% is associated with the seventh worst. In the first two games of the play -off “Orlov” against Packagers And RamsHANTS united to take nine bags under pressure, and its 28.6 PFF estimates in such situations appreciated the dead among all the post -zerozon quoters. But against the commanders, Harts coped better with the Rushers, generating 75.2 PFF passage with zero plays worthy of circulation and only two bags of 11 dropping under pressure.

Steve Spagnolo is known for sending sharp blitz, but his protection is still one of the best in creating pressure. Entering the Super Bowl 59, the leader takes fifth place in total pressure speed and 11th place in terms of pressure, when he is not blitz. In other words, this is not like if spagenolo should dial a blitz to protect him return home, because the leaders still have Chris JonesIN George Carfis and other destroyers.

The tendency of Harts to occupy bad bags under pressure is the most important reason why packets and RAMS even had the opportunity to upset the eagles at the beginning of the season. If Hurts again thunders in New Orleans and kills disks with insoluble bags, the leaders most likely raise their third trophy of pawnshop in a row.

Jalen hurts: PFF, passing grades under pressure by year

The internal line of the advance of the leaders against the internal defenders of the eagles

In addition to Barkley, one of the most important changes for the eagles in this match Super Bowl lives inside, adding and developed three protective linear players. According to coincidence, this is precisely the power of the offensive line of the leaders.

This year, “Orls” put up the best internal line of defense in football with Jalen CarterIN Milton Williams And Oyomo MoroThe Filadelphia field associated with the leader of the league in the general class PFF (77.2) at this position, and a variety of loss of 90.7 in 90.7 and 29.2% of the frequency of victory in Pantheon. When you add Jordan Davis -Thate turned into this post-zone variety 90.1 PFF in this post-zone,-this four becomes almost unlocked.

But the leaders have two best internal offensive linear linear in the league. Center Creed Humphrey He restored the NFL again in the general class PFF (92.3), and he did not allow the bag in 780 pictures. Tray Smith 14tour In the general class, PFF (75.3) among guards plays 500 or more pictures this season.

There are some warning, although. Smith was not as effective as the passage blocker, especially in the postson. A Tennessee The product handed over five pressures and four hasty in 72 pictures with blocking passages against Texas And accounts, good for a miserable level of PFF passage.

Another elephant in the room is that the elite of the leaders inside the triumvirate was broken when Joe Tuni knocked out left tackle and Mike Kalendo Filled his shoes in the left guard. Since this step in the 15th week, the internal line of the offensive Kansas City has passed from a total rating of 90.6 PFF in the league to a mediocre general estimate of 64.4 PFF.

In addition to the declension of their dominant game, Eagles“The best way to victory in the Super Cup is to dominate their deep protective line against Leader“A shaky offensive line, especially inside. If the defenders of the internal affairs of Philadelphia receive the best of Calienodo and Smith in protecting the aisles, this can do the life of difficult for magox, forcing him to avoid constant pressure.
