Sack 2 – Time: 2.82 seconds

You’ll first notice that Cam Jordan is lined up as an interior rusher here. Off the snap, he receives looks from both the guard and tackle.

Devonta Freeman will enter the picture to try to slow Jordan down, but he’ll quickly move to the inside lane to collapse the pocket.

The pressure builds on Matt Ryan, and Jordan raises his hand anticipating a pass. Ryan keeps, and is eventually sacked by Jordan.

Sack 3 – Time: 2.92 seconds

You’ll see Cam Jordan lined up as an interior lineman, once again. Off the snap, it looks like he will attract attention from both offensive linemen.

Kasim Edebali comes off the edge, and Ryan feels the pressure. This causes him to step up in the pocket, and Jordan spins in anticipation.

We know the end game, as Ryan fails to get the ball to an open receiver, and Jordan is there to wrap him up.

Sack 4 – Time: 3.5 seconds

Screen Shot 2016-01-28 at 4.06.42 PM
Jordan again gets a 1-on-1 matchup lined up as an interior rusher. This package features rookie Bobby Richardson in for Eulls. /

Richardson, like Eulls, took on a double team.

You’ll see the open pocket for Ryan to step up, but it turns out to be a false sense of security as Jordan is getting around the guard. /

Possibly learning from earlier, the guard somewhat anticipates Jordan spinning again. In reality, Jordan just beats him to go straight to Matt Ryan.
