2024 Broncos and 2024 Buccaneers Bundle

Liam Coen and the Buccaneers coaching staff built a balanced, attacking offense in 2024. The Buccaneers are so well coached in the nuances of their entire scheme. The details are present, and helped propel them to rank 3rd in total yards for the season.

The Buccaneers led the NFL in 3rd down conversion rate, at just over 50%. This is a result of meticulous game planning. Understanding how to pick up blitzes with various protections and getting receivers open early in Mayfield’s progressions were apparent throughout the season.

The Buccaneers run game is diverse, focusing on Outside Zone, Duo, and Counter. Within each, Coen tinkers with tags and adjustments to stress the defense.

The play action sections are filled with explosive concepts that create efficiency at the same time. Consistently creating open receivers down the field is a great way to sustain offense.

The drop back game is filled with quick-hitting pass concepts that get the ball out of Mayfield’s hands at the top of his drop. Their 5-step package has a lot of cutting edge adjustments to learn from.

The Buccaneers are an ELITE screen team. They utilize all types of screens, with detailed blocking to get speed in space. I probably enjoyed writing the screen sections the most. Create easy offense for your players.

Sean Payton is one of the best play callers in the NFL. His offenses over the years have been fun to track, going all the way back to 2006. He evolves his run game and pass game every year, while still maintaining a core family of concepts to keep continuity.

I was curious how he was going to build around rookie quarterback Bo Nix, and studying it in this week by week format was interesting. The offense evolves so much during the season, and you could see Nix develop each week.

Studying the 2024 Broncos is like watching a well-done remake of your favorite 80’s movie. It’s hard to thread the needle between evolving while staying true to classic form. Sean Payton and his staff did a masterful job of doing this, perhaps Hollywood should take some notes…

The run game was incredibly multiple. Payton has always had a strong run game, but I don’t recall the Saints attack ever being this diverse. I outline all of my favorites in this book.

The Broncos built RPO’s around their zone runs and Pin Pulls to help account for trouble looks. Some creative RPO’s as well as their constraints are found throughout.

The pass game features Sean Payton classics like Four Verticals, Dagger, Choice, and Scissors to name a few. Where Payton separates himself is how he adjusts these common families of concepts to fit his opponent. The intention behind every instance these were called is clear.

A strong screen game rounds out the Broncos well-designed attack. The screen game is robust, with creative designs that struck me nearly every week.
