There's a new bellcow back in town, and his name is Justin Jefferson. Wait, what? As FB_FilmAnalysis explains, welcome to the new age, where star receivers are becoming the workhorses of their offenses.
in Week 1, moving Jefferson into different positions and creating matchup and defensive rules problems for the Packers’ secondary.
“ do a nice job of putting in different positions, whether it’s in the slot, whether it’s motioning,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game. “It seemed like he was in motion quite a bit, just moving him all over the place, and you got to give him credit. They put him in premier spots and attacked our coverage well, and certainly, we had a couple of blown coverages as well where we’re cutting them loose. And if there’s anybody you don’t want to cut loose, it’s No. 18.
One of the things that makes Jefferson so unique is his ability to make severe cuts right after faking in the opposite direction. Also, credit to Cousins, who kept the play alive with his legs and made this throw over the safety on the opposite side.
