Love these videos coach keep them coming! Would love to see how you handle 11 personnel with a true TE and/or how you handle TE Wing sets. We have started seeing a lot of those recently.
Appreciate it, Coach! I'll write it down.
If the opponent ever comes out in ace or really any balanced formation (2x2) would you ever run bracket coverage on both sides of the field? Or is there any other situation where you would bracket both sides?
Also, so the MEG corner on the X receiver has no safety help over the top ever? That feels exploitable if the opposing team ever has a solid split end receiver. Or also, the MEG corner could be broken if the opposition moved their speedster slot receiver to the X for a play…. One good speed release and the field corner gets lost and the vertical is given up. Seems like a lot of faith is placed on the MEG corner.
Feel free to correct me if I have any misconceptions. Just wondering for clarification. Great video by the way. Love the content!
Great questions. You are totally correct as well.
Only downside to the M taking #3 in your bracket is teams will purposely run him to the flats at the snap and run power underneath.
...& in that case, you can choose to "Zone It!" over "Match It!"
What do you do if you get a bunch of quick RPOs to #3, like pop pass?
Great question. If the TE is outside of the box or slotted, I have the BS play a POACH technique. He is reading him anyway for his fit, so if the TE goes vertical he will work to CAP.
HOW ARE YOU PLAYING DOUBLES IN THIS?
Bracket to the field, 2-Read to the boundary is how most play it. I you are playing C3, you spin weak (boundary) & run Rip/Liz or Cover 1.
why not just run it like a normal read 3 to 2? If its a fast 3 Sam can midpoint and play the throw. If 3 blocks, FS knows he can be super aggressive in run game and robbing 2. Eliminates even more guess work in my mind
You can play it like that vs. condensed formations, but if you get a standard formation, you are asking to get Snag ran on you. Most will teach it similar to their Match-3, meaning, if the Slot doesn't roll his hips (Shallow), then the Ni stays on man coverage. You can play it like a Robber zone, which is what you are describing. But, that isn't how they are teaching it at most FBS schools that are running it as a base coverage.
