Nicky Rod's scrambles look chaotic. They're not. Here's the pattern.

Every Nicky Rod match has the same 30-second window where it looks like he's losing position three times in a row. He isn't. Each apparent collapse is a setup for the next entry.

The pattern: bait hip → frame off knee → re-shoot. It's ugly because his frame work is wide and his shots come from compromised angles, but the grip work underneath is clean.

If you slow down his ADCC final, count how many times this pattern repeats. Then go look at his match before that. Same shape.
