Oh my god this kiss animation is so cute

[thebottomseareef]

And since I was talking bad endings a while back with @sorcerous-caress I decided to do a voice claim for Bad Ending Sean Shanahan

Again from Assassin’s Creed it’s the voice of Jack the Ripper from Syndicate

[bottomseareef]

Sean NEEDS a found family not involved in armed conflict

I was gonna go with sudden responsibility of a child but in a weird way I think that’d make him worse. I’m assuming it’s an Ellie and Joel situation so he would be way more violent more often lmao.

[thebottomseareef]

I know I’ve already posted a voice claim of Sean Shanahan but sometimes the fact he has an Irish accent slips my mind so I imagine him both as Irish and as English so I wanted to do one with an English accent

Once again a character from Assassin’s Creed, Jacob Frye from Syndicate (yes I know it’s the same photos as last time I don’t take many photos)

The Revolution of Motion Offense in Today's NFL

By Joseph Correa

Follow @Frontproofmedia!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id))(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');

The Strategic Implementation of Motion Offense

The concept of motion offense in the NFL is not just about the physical movement of players but is deeply rooted in strategic manipulation of the defense. At its core, motion offense involves shifting players, particularly wide receivers or running backs, just before the snap. This movement serves several purposes: it can reveal the defensive scheme, create mismatches in coverage, and disrupt the defensive alignment.

Coaches like Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers, Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams, and Mike McDaniel of the Miami Dolphins are at the forefront of this strategic evolution. While the principle of motion offense is consistent, its application varies significantly among these coaches, each tailoring the strategy to their team's strengths and their opponent's vulnerabilities.

Disrupting Defensive Schemes:

Motion offense is particularly effective against rigid defensive structures. By moving a key offensive player, offenses can force the defense to reveal whether they are in man-to-man or zone coverage. This knowledge is invaluable for the quarterback, as it can dictate play calls and passing routes. The movement often leads to defensive players being momentarily out of position, creating opportunities for big plays.

Creating Mismatches:

One of the primary goals of motion offense is to create favorable matchups. For instance, moving a speedy receiver across the formation might draw a linebacker into coverage, a matchup heavily favoring the offense. This manipulation allows teams to exploit the weakest links in the defense.

Utilizing Player Skills:

Motion offense also allows teams to maximize their players' specific skills. A player like Tyreek Hill, known for his extraordinary speed, can be even more effective when his pre-snap motion leads to confusion or hesitation in the defense. The strategy turns player attributes like speed or agility into strategic advantages.

Variations and Innovations:

While the basic concept of motion offense is relatively straightforward, its execution can be remarkably diverse. Some teams use it to stretch the defense horizontally, creating wide gaps in coverage. Others use it vertically, drawing defenders deep to open up short and intermediate routes. Each coach adapts the concept to their offensive philosophy and the unique talents of their players.

Motion Offense in Practice: A Statistical Perspective

To truly appreciate the impact of motion offense strategies in the NFL, it's crucial to delve into the statistics that underscore their effectiveness. Teams that have embraced this approach are changing the game's dynamics and registering significant improvements in their offensive output.

1. Impact on Passing Efficiency:

Teams utilizing motion offense tactics frequently exhibit improved passing efficiency. For instance, teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins have been observed to have higher yards per pass attempt and completion rates when employing pre-snap motion. This improvement is attributed to quarterbacks being better informed about defensive alignments and exploiting the resultant mismatches.

2. Enhancing Run Game Effectiveness:

Motion offense isn't just beneficial for passing plays. It has also been shown to bolster the running game. By shifting defensive focus and creating uncertainty, running backs can find more gaps and mismatches in the defense. This strategic movement increases yards per carry and overall rushing yards for teams heavily utilizing motion.

3. Overall Offensive Output:

Teams with high-motion offense usage tend to exhibit better overall offensive performance. This is reflected in key metrics like total yards per game, points per game, and third-down conversion rates. These statistics highlight motion offense's comprehensive impact on a team's ability to sustain drives and score.

4. Comparative Analysis of Teams:

A comparative analysis of teams with high and low-motion offense usage reveals stark differences. Teams like the Dolphins, 49ers, and Rams, known for their frequent use of motion, consistently rank higher in offensive efficiency metrics than teams that use motion less often. This correlation underscores the strategic value of motion offense in modern NFL playbooks.

Pre-Snap Motion Usage:

The Miami Dolphins led the NFL with an 83.3% rate of using pre-snap shifts or motion, creating space and confusion among defenses​​.

The Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers are 1-2 in the league in pre-snap motion plays. The Dolphins utilize motion in 79.9% of their plays, while the 49ers use it in 79.3% of their plays​​.

Offensive Performance:

In terms of total offense, the Dolphins were ranked first with an average of 409.2 yards per game and 59 offensive touchdowns, followed by the 49ers with 404.6 yards per game and 58 touchdowns​​.

Regarding passing offense, the Dolphins again led with an average of 271.7 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns. The 49ers were second with 263.1 yards and 32 touchdowns​​.

Rushing Offense and Scoring:

The Dolphins ranked fifth in rushing offense with 137.5 yards per game and 26 rushing touchdowns, while the 49ers were third with 141.5 yards and 25 touchdowns​​.

In scoring offense, the Dolphins were first with an average of 30.1 points scored and a total of 59 touchdowns. The 49ers closely followed with 29.4 points and 58 touchdowns​​.

Red Zone and Third Down Efficiency:

The 49ers led in red zone touchdown rate at 65.6%, with the Dolphins closely behind at 64.9%​​.

In third-down offense, the 49ers had a conversion rate of 47.3%, placing them fourth in the league, with the Dolphins at 42.2%​​.

These statistics demonstrate the significant impact of motion offense strategies on a team's overall performance, particularly in the case of teams like the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers. The high percentage of pre-snap motion plays correlates with top rankings in key offensive metrics, showcasing the strategy's effectiveness in both passing and rushing, as well as in scoring and efficiency in critical game situations. This data-driven approach underscores the transformative power of motion offenses in the modern NFL.

Tactical Variations and Coaching Innovations in Motion Offense

In the NFL, the strategic implementation of motion offense varies significantly among teams, reflecting each squad's unique philosophies and player strengths. This section explores how various coaches have innovatively adapted motion offense to enhance their team's performance.

Tailoring Strategies to Player Strengths:

Each team uses motion offense to maximize their roster's unique capabilities. For instance, the Miami Dolphins leverage the exceptional speed of players like Tyreek Hill to create vertical threats, while the San Francisco 49ers focus on horizontal displacement to exploit their players' yards-after-catch (YAC) abilities.

Coaching Philosophies in Play:

Coaches like Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay have incorporated motion offense as a cornerstone of their strategies. Shanahan's approach with the 49ers often involves using motion to create mismatches and open up underutilized spaces on the field. Conversely, McVay uses motion to alter defensive angles and leverage, particularly in the run game.

Evolution of the Motion Offense:

Over recent seasons, motion offense has evolved from a niche tactic to a widespread strategy. Teams are continually finding new ways to implement motion, whether it's through jet sweeps, reverse motion, or innovative play designs that keep defenses guessing.

Future Trends and Potential Adaptations:

As more teams adopt and adapt motion offense strategies, we may see further evolution in how motion is used. This could include integrating technology for more precise play-calling or developing new formations that maximize the benefits of pre-snap motion.

Defensive Adaptations to Motion Offense

As motion offense strategies become more prevalent in the NFL, defenses are evolving in response. Defensive coordinators are now tasked with developing schemes that can effectively counter motion offense's unpredictability and strategic advantages.

Enhanced Defensive Flexibility: Defenses are training to become more versatile, emphasizing the ability to quickly adapt to shifts in offensive formations. This includes developing players proficient in both coverage and run defense, blurring the traditional roles of defensive positions.

Predictive Analytics and Technology: Teams increasingly rely on advanced analytics and real-time data to predict and counter-offensive plays. This involves analyzing tendencies and patterns in opponents' use of motion to anticipate their strategies during games.

Strategic Personnel Changes: Defenses also respond by recruiting and developing players with specific skill sets designed to counter motion offenses, such as defensive backs with exceptional speed and linebackers who excel in coverage.

Long-Term Impact and Future of Motion Offense in the NFL

The rise of motion offense in the NFL will likely have lasting effects on various aspects of the game, from player development to scouting and coaching strategies.

Influence on Player Development: Colleges and high schools may start placing a greater emphasis on training players in skills that complement motion offense strategies, such as agility, speed, and quick decision-making.

Scouting and Recruitment: The criteria for scouting and recruiting players may shift, with a heightened focus on versatile players who can adapt to the dynamic nature of motion offense.

Coaching and Strategy Evolution: As motion offense continues to evolve, we may see the emergence of new offensive philosophies and playbooks that further push the boundaries of traditional football strategies.

The Transformative Power of Motion Offense in the NFL

As we've explored, motion offense has become a pivotal element in the modern NFL, significantly influencing offensive play and defensive strategy. Its rise underscores a league constantly adapting, innovating, and evolving. Coaches like Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Mike McDaniel are at the forefront of this revolution, pushing the boundaries of traditional football strategy.

This evolution in offense is changing how games are played and impacting player development, scouting, and coaching philosophies. As NFL teams continue to adapt and innovate, motion offense strategies are set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of football.

From revealing defensive schemes to creating mismatches and enhancing player skills, the strategic use of motion offense has proven to be a game-changer. As the league progresses, we can expect further advancements in offensive play and defensive countermeasures. The NFL's continuous adaptation to motion offense is a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the sport, promising a future rich in strategic complexity and excitement.

First actual post about my Tav, Sean Shanahan, lol. I’m probably not gonna post much about him on here at least I’ll probably do that more on my main blog. I mentioned in the Tav as companion questions that I did for @sorcerous-caress that I thought Shay Cormac from Assassin’s Creed Rogue was his voice claim since Assassin’s Creed was a big inspiration for the character. Shay was one character that I drew some inspiration from, alongside Ezio, Arno, Basim, and Conner, but Shay isn’t the main one he’s just the only one that was Irish so he’s the only one with a voice that fit lmao. Also ignore the bad images of him this is a new playthrough and I don’t take much pictures of him so I just hoped on and quickly took some.
