One route that can be very effective is a Wheel route by the #2. Sell it as if you're running an arrow to the flats, and perhaps run a post route with the #1. If the Safety reads the wheel as an arrow, he may jump on the #1, leaving the #2 able to turn upfield on the sideline. The Sam and Will have to be aware of any routes like that.
I love the Narduzzi Cover 4. It does require speed at LB and your secondary has to be able to cover one on one. But with the right personnel, this is equally effective against the run and the pass.
Coach Narduzzi, or anyone, pls clarify for me. How does the CB play press while still playing 1/4 versus Smash routes. This seems a contradiction. I really like the CB technique discription here. We've had success with 1/4 cvr, but I cannot see how this works. Coach N emphasizes eyes on QB and aggressive on #1. Given 2x2, 8 yrds splits. #1 breaks fade then hook back to the QB at 15 yrds. The #2 breaks flag/corner at 15 yrds. Backfield is play action, or roll to onside, to freeze LB drop. What does the CB do? What does the Safety do? Who covers the #2 to the corner? If Safety sticks w #2 how is this different that M2M? Thanks.
safety will play #2 on any out or vertical. so yes, it basically turns into m2m vs smash (or any vertical/out concept by #2). a lot of press quarters teams will still have a smash alert though, to where the cb will sink off #1 if he runs a hitch. where it differs from true m2m is that the safety is not taking #2 on anything that is immediately shallow (drag, slant). that will get passed off to the underneath zone droppers.
Occasionally (3rd and a mile), Narduzzi will just drop the CBs into a deep quarter. But normally, the CB is going to have the #1, period. So on a smash, the CB is playing the hitch, and the safety is taking the vertical route. The Will and Sam are also bailing to the flats, so there's some help there. The Narduzzi Cover 4 can indeed become a man to man defense pretty quickly.
@@maybebeaux "a lot of press quarters teams will still have a smash alert though, to where the cb will sink off #1 if he runs a hitch." Which is why your Sam and Will have to be athletes. They have to bail to the flats as soon as they read pass.
Didn't know Narduzzi has such a foul mouth. No place for it when representing Pitt at a speaking engagement. Makes me lose even more respect for him after watching his team's disappointing performance on the field last season.
To be honest. thats just coach talk. It really doesn't matter about swearing or not. because Coach talking is the most foul mouth of all. if you played high school ball and college yk that coaches swear 100% of the time.... and all the coaches in that room knows as well. He knows football though that's why he has that job.

I love Narduzzi's style. Keeps it simple but aggressive.
“Mitch Tribinsky is one of the best QBs we’ve faced” as a bear fan I wish
2 years later and we've got Caleb Williams. Who I don't think is going to pan out.
@@TheSBleederI think you’re jumping the gun. He’s a Rookie with a bad Oline. He’s doing fine for now
Great video. Now I can see why Pitt has sent so many CBs and safeties to the NFL.
Good video
Isn’t a zone turn on a fade pretty normal now? 1:06:40
booooo
Pat is terrible, lol
😂😂 this comment aged well. Take a lap, bud

This your first time listening to a football coach or something?
