The second half of Max Brownne's film analysis deals with containing the run game. It starts with a play (at 7:49) where Crawford crashes down Max talks about the need to fill the B gap exposed because of Crawford rush. He doesn't know if issue of not filling it is because of the LB or the safety. The result is there is no edge containment. One poster here says the play is actually a safety blitz, and safety #9 (up close to the LOS) does blitz taking a long and unsuccessful route to the QB. Meanwhile the LB (Stephens) gets eaten up by the TE. (Max talks about how Stephens is just "floating around" before the TE engages) The result is huge running play for Rutgers Max shows how this happens again and again. Max does say, why does Crawford need to crash down? Is this meant to make the safety blitz work? Why should that be? For me, I am concerned that a play (a blitz?) which USC choose to run ends up with no edge containment. Is this a Crawford problem or another player problem or a play design problem?
