🔍 Mechanics Breakdown: Scramble Extension & Momentum Vector Deflection
On 3rd & 7, quarterback Adrian Martinez escapes a collapsing pocket, extending the play to 3.4 seconds before executing a dump-off/pitch to Khalil Herbert. Herbert encounters two defensive tackle attempts: Defender 1 arrives at an aggressive 55° pursuit angle; Herbert dips his center of gravity to deflect 410 N of transverse force. Defender 2 initiates contact at the line to gain, where Herbert generates 6.8 Yards After Contact (YAC) through linear leg drive to convert the 1st down by +4.2 yards.
