Explore schematic motion, routes and pressure looks. These authored diagrams and rules are not verified coach playbooks, league statistics or predictions. Coverage labels are simplified, and a successful toy outcome does not establish a legal or effective real play.
Using pre-snap orbit motion identifies whether the secondary is in man-to-man coverage (corner follows) or zone bail. With Flores showing maximum pressure, the hot route must cross the face of the unblocked blitzer within 1.9 seconds.
Mugging both A-gaps forces 5 offensive linemen to declare 1-on-1 assignments. At the snap, dropping two defensive ends into the throwing alleys while rushing 5 stunts creates instant pass protection confusion and unblocked edge pressure.
The offensive menu changes schematic routes and stored matchup bonuses. No film sample, motion rate or coach tendency dataset is supplied. Motion can provide clues about assignments; it does not guarantee that a disguised coverage has been identified.
Pressure looks change alignment and rusher flags in this toy diagram. Neither a league ranking nor a measured pressure rate is supplied. The All-Out fixture actually flags eight rushers and retains a safety coverage role; its drawing is not a complete Cover0 assignment.
Compare one variable at a time and identify which authored rule changed. The fixed separation bonuses, blocker counts and quarterback gate determine the output; they do not estimate a real matchup probability. Contact and penalties are not evaluated.
This fixture drops one defensive end and sends the nickel corner, leaving four flagged rushers. The diagram illustrates a change in who rushes. It does not model assignment exchanges, coverage reactions or the effectiveness of a real pressure call.
A defender following motion may be a coverage clue, but disguised assignments and exchanges can complicate that inference. The toy gives the slot an orbit-motion bonus without reading a defender response. Crossing routes do not automatically permit contact; the NFL rulebook separately governs interference and blocking.
In this tactical simulator, the outcome is governed by the Pass Rush Arrival Clock vs the Target Separation Time. Its sack gate also requires at least one free rusher and a QB setting other than Quick. Quick bypasses that gate; it is a simplifying rule, not guaranteed escape from pressure. No interception or turnover branch exists.
Which change affects an authored rule, and which only changes the picture?
This chalkboard combines fixed matchup bonuses with schematic animation. Its timing, separation, yardage and EPA-labeled score are authored examples; no tracking data, fitted expected-points model, coach playbook or calibrated outcome probability is supplied.
Down is stored and exported but does not change the outcome formula. The All-Out fixture flags eight rushers despite its Cover0 motif and retains a safety coverage role. Other coverage labels are simplified. Sacks use an unseeded random loss of 4–8 yards; penalties, interceptions, assignment reactions and real protection execution are omitted.
At the initial dagger/orbit/dual/mugged setup, eight rushers face six authored blockers, leaving two free. The toy rush time is 2.9 − 8×0.12 − 2×0.45 − 0.25 = 0.79 seconds, then clamped to 1.35. Orbit adds 0.8 to the slot’s 1.6 separation, producing 2.4 yards. Quick QB bypasses the sack gate. The completion rule rounds 16 + 2.4×2.2 to 21 yards and assigns 0.25 + 21×0.06 = 1.51 as an EPA-labeled score. These are program rules, not NFL estimates.
The official NFL glossary explains positions, downs and how the game is organized. Those definitions help interpret the diagram, but they do not validate this page’s route bonuses, clock coefficients or invented scores. NFL Football Operations: football terms
The current rulebook separately covers motion, eligible receivers, downfield restrictions and pass interference. A crossing route or blocker escort drawn on this canvas is not evidence that contact or a particular real play would be legal. The toy performs no penalty adjudication. NFL Football Operations:2026 rulebook
Dual/Man supplies six blockers, either slide direction supplies five, and Tunnel Screen overrides both with seven. Orbit supplies a slot-separation bonus. A receiver click overrides the automatic maximum-separation choice. The Quick setting bypasses the sack gate; Patient and Shot Hunter share that same gate rather than separate probability models.
The Orbit Motion Mesh preset loads Mesh, not a screen. Reset Board clears the target and animation while retaining menu settings. Update rebuilds the formation; Snap chooses a result and animates it; Replay animates that stored result. Download preserves the selected settings and authored output with scope. Sack randomness means a later recalculation can differ.
