00:13is David Bailey a problem in the run game for this Jets defense well there's some Jets content
00:18creators out there who would say that David Bailey is an issue and that he might not be a
00:224-3 defensive end long term for this team now I think that take is a little crazy to me
00:27considering the rookie is only seven games into his career but what we've seen from David Bailey
00:32is in a player that has shown the potential the talent the strength the size the speed everything
00:39you want in a defensive end in a number two overall pick along with the production in the pass rush
00:43but on today's episode of Gangs Over Here what I'm going to highlight for you guys today is some
00:48plays I saw of David Bailey versus the Miami Dolphins in week seven where he did struggle against the run
00:53but also some plays where he stood out against the run and he made some pretty impressive plays
00:58let's dive into the film now look I want to start off with this first play of the game when
01:06David Bailey
01:06was lined up outside here this is the very first run that Bailey faced against this Dolphins offense
01:13and it's one that Ollie Gordon you're going to see is going to go for 25 yards and to be
01:18honest with
01:18you I don't know what the heck's going on with Aaron Glenn's defense here it's quite an interesting
01:22formation here now you're going to see the Dolphins run a motion here of this receiver and Bailey goes
01:28from the outside of this receiver who's close to the line of scrimmage and close to the offensive line
01:33here and he motions back as a linebacker here with Sherwood and Demario Davis and I find this very
01:40curious why Bailey who is primarily your defensive edge outside linebacker why he's lining up on this
01:47secondary level with the linebacker it's giving you a four three defensive end look if you are
01:53defensive uh front you should say because if you look you got the defensive tackle defensive tackle
01:58defensive tackle and then you have the other edge and Kingsley and Imbari over here but Bailey for some
02:04reason when he goes in from this motion where he was lined up originally at the start of the play
02:08when this motion happens he goes back and it's curious what how the Jets coached this up or told
02:17him what to do I don't know if this is a miscommunication I mean if you remember last week
02:22there was a huge miscommunication on the touchdown that the Jets gave up to Romeo Dobbs against the
02:27Patriots and it was curious because we saw Bailey talk to Jamie and Sherwood last week and there was
02:34some miscommunication on who was supposed to rush on a blitz uh and this is against the run which is
02:39a little bit different but it was just a disastrous play here for the Jets where they're lined up and
02:44where you have the issue come in on this play is is that Bailey it feels like he's just in
02:50no man's
02:50land here and Demario Davis who's a veteran been around for a long time he runs into Bailey here
02:57and you get this issue because by the time the running back and I'll rewind this back here the
03:03running backs already attacking the line of scrimmage and they're pulling this tight end
03:08into block and it's just it's it's a disastrous play for the Jets here to start the game and it
03:15really set the tone it feels like for the rest of the game on how this Jets defense was going
03:19to face
03:20this run and we know and we talked about the Jets have not been good against the run this year
03:24and
03:24I thought this was just a prime example of you can't really blame Bailey if I don't know what the
03:30what the play call is if he's supposed to be lined up there next to Demario Davis because once this
03:36puller comes you now have two linebackers against the puller and Ollie Gordon and what happens is is
03:43the puller hits David Bailey and Demario Davis this time he's trying to take the angle at the running
03:49back and he's got to go around Bailey at that point and before you know it this running backs already
03:54past the line of scrimmage and Gordon's going to outrun Davis every time on this type of play
03:59and he busts one for 25 yards so I don't think you can really criticize David Bailey on that type
04:04of
04:05play but it's again it's an example of miscommunication potentially I don't know if Aaron Glenn's signal
04:10comes into the the defensive huddle and Demario Davis is like hey Bailey if they motion the receiver
04:15on the other side you got to come back here and play a 4-3 stack linebacker it was it
04:20was a very
04:21curious play call there and it's a tough look for the Jets on the first run play of the game
04:26let's
04:27go to later in the game here we're going to talk about this play here again David Bailey's lined up
04:31here normally on the offense's right defense's left this is where he primarily lines up as a defensive
04:36end and you're going to see him attack the tackle here and I just didn't love his push back here
04:45this
04:46is the play that Robbie Sabo pointed out on social media it's second and five and you see Bailey just
04:52get pushed back by this tackle and again you would love to see the rookie be able to set the
04:59edge a
04:59little bit more here and you don't love that he's getting washed down here and and I also have some
05:04other issues with this with Harrison Phillips and Demario Davis watch these guys on this play as well
05:09they both get sucked up in to the inside here and this just leaves Dane Belton one-on-one with
05:14the
05:14running back and and David Bailey you know again I would love to see him be a more aggressive get
05:21lower his pad level is too high here against the right tackle gets just washed down and this makes
05:27an easy seven yard run and I don't love seeing my rookie get pushed back seven eight yards from the
05:32line of scrimmage again if you look where this play started it all started at the 40 yard line and
05:39from
05:40or a 35 yard line I should say and from that point on he gets washed back all the way
05:45to the 41 42
05:46you're talking about seven yards off the line of scrimmage he gets pushed back almost to the 45
05:51don't love that um and this was a tough play for David Bailey to to to correct and he's gonna
05:56he's
05:57gonna learn in the NFL that you're gonna go against some of these bigger right tackles and these bigger
06:01tackles in the game and you've got to be able to be stout against the run it's something that you
06:05wondered about him coming out of college is if he can hold up against the run there was an example
06:09where
06:10didn't go well now let's go to another play here Bailey again lined up on the right side of the
06:16offense left side of the defense now here you have a tight formation here you got the tight end here's
06:22your five offensive linemen they're in shotgun with Willis and Gordon now there's another wide receiver
06:28right here and you're wondering with AZ Thomas right there David Bailey right there could he get crack
06:33blocked is he going to be responsible for for this tight end and making sure that if the run is
06:38coming
06:39this way am I going to make sure that I set the edge here so Sherwood can fill the gap
06:43and I want
06:44you guys to watch Bailey here he comes down after he sees the tight end the tight ends got Sherwood
06:50so
06:51he has a one-on-one this is a clean shot you're never going to get a cleaner angle here
06:56against the
06:57running back in a shotgun situation here and and this is Bailey's chance with the puller coming mind you
07:03how does he attack this does he take on the puller the guard who's coming across does he take that
07:12on
07:13and force a play here on the running back does he attack the running back right away
07:19I just he tries to go around the blocker and before you know it the running backs already passed
07:26him and that's that's where it's like you've got to tell the rookie look look man when you see this
07:34tight end coming down on the block against Sherwood and you're coming screaming off the edge you got to
07:41set that you've got to get beat put your shoulder pad your helmet right into this guy's chest force him
07:48back into that running back and that's where he tries to go around he gives an arm tackle and the
07:55running back while he was stopped Bailey slowed him down it's not a total negative right so like
08:02I I want to say like there's so much more potential here and this is what I was talking about
08:07the start
08:07of this episode where it's like Bailey has the potential to be one of the best edges in football
08:13he has the talent you could see the first step speed off the line of scrimmage he's gone he's already
08:19reading it but it's a matter of are you going to make a play on the running back or are
08:23you going to
08:24put your chat your shoulder into this lineman's chest and stop him at there at that point and
08:30let's get this as a tackle for loss don't let this end up be a one or two yard game
08:34now the Jets did a
08:36good job of stopping the run Daryl Jackson 95 had a great day Jawan Briggs wolf did not have a
08:41good day
08:41and there's some plays here that would leave you left to be desired but I I think there's a lot
08:46of
08:46potential when it comes to David Bailey against the run it's not just the pass rush with him here's
08:51another play here and we're gonna start getting into the good plays in my opinion on David Bailey
08:54here because I think again there's there's plays on the field that you have to watch the film and say
09:01what are you doing to affect the play and what are you doing to to stop the run not just
09:06attack
09:07the the quarterback in a pass rush situation this is the fourth quarter this is the last drive for
09:13the Dolphins they're trying to run the clock out they're at midfield and I got back-to-back plays here
09:17David Bailey and I think this is a prime example of when you talk about David Bailey and in the
09:24effect
09:25and impact he can have on a game it's the fourth quarter it's about eight minutes left in the game
09:31or you know eight and eight and change and this is back-to-back plays second and three and third
09:36and
09:37two and watch Bailey on both of these plays because I think this is really what's going to be important
09:41for us going forward as Jets fans to watch is while the Jets were not good against the run the
09:46entire
09:46game against the Dolphins this is an example of how a number two overall pick can truly change the
09:52outcome of a game on back-to-back plays and not just be a quote-unquote y9 tech and he
09:58can sometimes
09:59sometimes chase down the run from the back side watch Bailey here he's got this pulling he's sorry not
10:10pulling he's got the fullback coming right at him and you have the tight end right there the fullback
10:16and the running back they are handing this ball off on second and three and watch Bailey I'm gonna
10:22put hands on the wide receiver because he's not gonna crack block me he makes sure that happens and
10:28then his next responsibility is I see this fullback coming right at me so what am I gonna do I'm
10:34gonna
10:34hold up against that fullback I'm gonna stop him in his in his tracks I'm not gonna let him get
10:40leverage
10:40on me and he makes sure that there is nowhere to go for that running back so that way the
10:47tackle on
10:47the back side for Minka Fitzpatrick can get me there's no hole there there's no gap Bailey clogs
10:54it up he takes the block absorbs it from the fullback and makes sure that there's nowhere to run for
10:59that
10:59running back and if he wants to bounce it outside he can try to bounce it outside against AZ Thomas
11:05one-on-one
11:05but if you're the Jets this is what I like for my my number two overall pick I'm setting the
11:10edge
11:11I'm stopping this running back from finding a gap here and he sets the edge with the eyes on the
11:18inside I got my eyes on the running back and before you know it tackles me in the back backfield
11:24let's go to the very next play again they gained one yard on that play barely now it's third and
11:31two
11:31talking about the Dolphins trying to kill the clock run it out as much as possible so the Jets don't
11:36have a chance to get the ball back and and maybe tie the game or even win the game and
11:42Bailey right here
11:43again you see he's got the right tackle right in front of him you got the running back right there
11:49it's third and two they're trying to run the football and watch Bailey on this play
11:55whoop swims the right tackle again this is not a quote-unquote wide nine defensive end only this is
12:05a number two overall pick who shows quickness off the line of scrimmage times the snap perfectly and
12:11watch the move he puts on the right tackle there and before you know it he's got the running back
12:16down
12:16for barely a yard one yard game which makes it fourth and one at that point this is what I'm
12:22talking
12:22about though when you terms of what David Bailey can bring to you in key situations while he may
12:28have struggled earlier in the game and it wasn't an overall good game from David Bailey on his seven
12:33games in his career so far you see the positives here where you have to go that's just next level
12:41and I think you have to take that into account of Bailey has the true talent look he's got Belton
12:46going
12:47fourth down Bailey need to play it's fourth down now we all know that Willis got the first down
12:54after that they run the clock out Bailey was not on the field at that point game over now I
13:01want you
13:01to see this last play here against Dave for David Bailey earlier in the game I'm talking about Y9
13:05technique traditional defense 4-3 defensive end the Jets are lined up with four defensive linemen
13:11Minka's playing close to the line of scrimmage because he sees that they got the tight end out here
13:15they got the wide receiver lined up close stack this screams run even though they got the tight end
13:21on the opposite side of the field Bailey I want you to watch the effort and the speed it takes
13:26for him
13:27to make this play on right Bailey sees right away he recognizes the right tackles pulling this ain't him
13:36traditionally coming right here at Bailey he's turned his hips to the sideline which means he's going to
13:43be pulling here and you got down block down block Bailey has to beat this block because this ball is
13:48going to be pitched out to the running back and Bailey recognizes it right away fights off the block
13:54sheds the blocker and then watch the speed here you have a blocker here with the right tackle
14:00to Mario Davis is on Bailey's hip here and watch after he beats the block go make the play
14:09again watch this from the start he recognizes right away oh I see it right here he's already
14:14turning his hips Bailey he knows this tight end is going to try to down block me and this right
14:20tackle
14:20is pulling he's going to the sideline they are pitching the ball to this running back I'm going to
14:25engage with the tight end that's trying to crack block me I'm going to shed the block which he does
14:30very easily here and now it's time to go finish the play I got a one blocker here and it's
14:36me mono
14:36e mono against the running back and Bailey wraps him up clean for a loss of three yards that is
14:42what
14:43I'm talking about when it comes to David Bailey and the types of play he can make against the run
14:49now look when you look at the analytics of David Bailey against the Miami Dolphins it's not pretty
14:54he was the lowest graded run stopper on the Jets defense according to PFF if you look at true
15:01media as well in terms of his run stop win rate it was the second lowest of his seven games
15:07so far
15:07this season behind only New England where it was 16 he had 24 run stop win rate which was again
15:14his
15:14second lowest of the season it's only seven games into his of his career though and I think we have
15:20to
15:20be patient here you cannot just assume that the number two overall pick is going to be stout against
15:26the run every play and he's going to be able to rush the passer every play there is a lot
15:32that comes
15:32into stopping the run as a defense it takes all 11 players I truly believe that and right now with
15:38Aaron Glenn's defense they have struggled to stop the run I think you have to take into account when it
15:44comes to David Bailey that Juwan Briggs is not a good defensive tackle that they are missing now to
15:50Andre Sweat who got hurt in the middle of that game and at that point even with Briggs and Sweat
15:56and
15:56Harrison Phillips there is not a lot of help from that interior rush and that interior stopping the run
16:02it puts a lot of pressure on your edges which is why Kingsley and Imbari has done well because in
16:07his
16:07career he has played well against the run but when you're talking about David Bailey and you're a rookie
16:12and your first time you are starting a ton of plays you're playing a lot you're expected to
16:17make an impact on the game but at the same time we have to take that into account that there
16:22is not
16:22enough talent up front on the interior protecting David Bailey and making his life easier on the edge
16:29because there's a lot to account for a lot of teams are going to be pulling blockers at him
16:34they're going to try to attack him on that offense is right defensive left side and Bailey I think has
16:40shown the talent and the tools for you to be able to say as a Jets fan I see the
16:45potential the
16:46production is already getting there we've seen how many sacks he's gotten this year that's one part of
16:51his game but the stopping the run is going to be a crucial part for David Bailey to take him
16:56from just
16:56a pass rush specialist into being that every down force at defensive end I think it's incredibly naive
17:05to just make blatant statements that Bailey cannot be in every down 4-3 defensive end when he's only
17:12seven games into his career give the kid time let him develop let him learn the system that he's in
17:17we've seen miscommunication happen a couple times already this year he's going to learn the kid
17:23studies film he's in the building first and he's out there last he cares he truly cares so I think
17:31everyone needs to take a step back appreciate what we've seen so far from David Bailey watch with a
17:36careful eye dive into the film and make your own conclusions thank you for watching gangs all here
