Finishing up my Musgrave study, and he got 3 targets on the final drive vs. the Panthers, where the Packers tied it up, including this drive-starter on a sail route.

Beautiful throw and catch here. This is what Musgrave can do as a vertical threat.

And if you're going to cover Musgrave 1v1 with a linebacker, he's just going to run away from most of them.

This is my favorite Musgrave play of his career. He's so tough to defend on this because you can throw it high and away.

Musgrave was the Packers' Cover-2 beater back in 2023. They ran him down the seam a ton (and then immediately started doing it with Kraft after Musgrave got hurt).

This can still be a real part of the offense. Musgrave's size/speed plays.

Similar concept from 12 personnel with your TEs stacked to one side (flipped alignment here).

Clear the opposite side out and run Musgrave across on a deep over. LBs just can't run with him.

These are the kinds of plays that made everyone so excited about Luke Musgrave.

He can be a reliable MOF pass catcher on 3rd down, but he can also create down the field.

Extend to make the catch and take a shot.

Love the subtle move from Matthew Golden to work back inside the safety to play the ball here.

This is your QB trusting the WR to make a play in coverage and he does. Tre Moehrig swipes through the hands to get a PBU, but I like the rep from Golden.

On the play I've seen a lot of screenshots of, it looks like Jordan Love wants to get Romeo Doubs on the fast motion into a speed out. This is something the Packers run a lot.

Darius Slay colisions the out, so Love throws it away to secure the FG.

Watch Jordan Love before he throws the ball away. He's looking all the way to the backside here. I wonder if one of the 3 TEs was supposed to work back on a little low red zone leak.

This could have been the game. 4th-and-2, Packers up 27-23 with 8 minutes left. Cowboys haven't stopped GB's offense in the second half.

Pressure immediately moves Dak off his spot, he looks to his checkdown but 2 GB defenders are there EXCEPT, that holds the LB to fit this in.

I mean, what are you supposed to do against this? Dak throws this before the WR even thinks about throttling down.

DT in his face. This is awesome QB play.

Dak audibles to this playcall and catches Hobbs outside leverage on an in-breaking route.

Dallas wins this play before the ball is even snapped.

Keisean Nixon with a hell of a play in man coverage trying to run with Turpin on the deep cross.

Look at the difference in how the LBs react here with the pre-snap motion, then split-flow action from the TE.

Line is firing out. This LOOKS like a run, and the LBs step up. The MOF is WIDE open.

If GB had blocked this up, it was a potential big hit.

Matt LaFleur wasn't just being pedantic when he pushed back on the idea that a play like this isn't really "play-action."

Sure, there's a run fake, but the guards are pass-setting right away. Linebackers who are reading their keys are not going to buy the run fake.

So here you can see what Love sees. He's expecting Delpit to run with Kraft. The safety starts to go with him, so Love is working to Wicks in the #2 WR spot.

Delpit makes a great play to fall off (Love says he has to feel that), but either way this is also just a bad throw.

This is an absolutely perfect throw on a hole shot vs. C2.

Matthew Golden peaks at the safety, expecting to take a hit, but he'd taken such a bad angle to the ball, Golden had nothing but grass in front of him.

Dang.

Two things here:

- If this is a true RPO, I don't know what the coaches expect the OL to do here because if you give here, they're going to block someone.

- That said, Walker doesn't block anyone. His being downfield doesn't affect the play. Does this NEED to be called?
