Ronnie Stanley’s feet

[Sooky]

I am not sure if you guys have heard the story but I guess the Chargers knew what a majority of the Ravens plays were before they even happened based off of Stanley’s feet.

They said during tape study they noticed if Stanley’s feet were even then almost 100% of the time if was a run play. And if Stanley’s left foot was behind his right, it was most likely a pass play.

I’m wondering how many of these little tips players have that teams are noticing week to week. So not only was Marty’s playcalling terrible but also the defense knew because of our LT’s feet.

I'm actually thankful for the Chargers calling out Marty, Stanley's foot positioning and play design. It certainly pressured Harbaugh to fire/"demote" Marty even more.

It’s funny that they brought it up and I partly wonder if he was just off towards the end of the year in general - he had a couple of snaps where he just didn’t move as if he had no idea what the snap count was etc.

I addressed this on my OL podcast with a review of all the plays where Ronnie was in either a 2 or 3-point stance.

Effectively, in a 2-point stance, a tackle is always tipping pass and that's what the Ravens used for most of their snaps. Separating out the 3-point snaps for foot back/feet even reveals other differences.

The analysis of Stanley's feet and tipping starts at 19:40 and it's approximately 6 minutes in length.

Yeah, he seemed to be "off" for the past few games even before the playoff game. Some plays looked like he had no idea who he was supposed to block, he had several penalties, etc.
