With the offseason underway, many of the upcoming posts will be discussing possible free agent signings, combine results, and NFL draft coverage. So I’ve decided to take a step away from the “normal” football news during this time of the year, and bring a new, fun feature to BlitzNation. “Playbook 101″ will simply display any play that was executed this season, and put it in a “Madden” style scheme that will break down the play. The first play I will bring to you is Percy Harvin’s first career NFL touchdown against the Cleveland Browns.

Percy Harvin, playing in the slot alongside Bernard Berrian, runs a simple out route. The play develops so well because of Berrian’s in-and-out route, in which he brings the corner inside, and turns him around when he cuts up. This leads to Harvin being isolated one-on-one with the safety, and the former Florida Gator overpowers his man, and drags him into the endzone.

From the video, you can tell Harvin was the initial option for Brett Favre since he has his sights set on him right from the beginning. If Harvin wasn’t able to get open as quick as he did, Favre would have had to take the sack, and the Vikes would have settled for a field goal.
