00:00Anytime you get Abdul Carter in a wide nine and he's getting a one-on-one with a tackle,
00:06tight end, back, doesn't matter, he better win. So with this wide nine, what you see a lot of
00:12defensive ends do, since they're wide like that, if they can't beat this tackle or beat this blocker
00:19with speed, a lot of the times you see them get too far up the field to where they just get washed
00:25and ran by. They're not able to retract, get skinny, trim the fat, and get towards a quarterback's
00:32drop point. But one thing about Abdul Carter and one thing about that makes him special
00:37is his ability to bend, break, balance, and burst. You see him dipping his shoulder, a dip and rip
00:45with this right shoulder and he's coming up with this right arm. What this allows him to do is get
00:51under this right tackle here and where he is winning when it comes with the leverage. So the
00:57fact that, look at where he is right now and look in relation to this solid line right here. Look how
01:03he's able to win, win his leverage, but stay skinny, have balance, and not get pushed past this line
01:13that keeps him in phase to get after Mariota. So Mariota staying here allows Abdul Carter,
01:21to come around the edge, get his hands in there, and force the fumble.
