      @insertclevername4123 5 років тому +88

      I think it's something like 25:1, based on the fact that in most of the country it's at least 2500 yards between Dunkin' stores, while in Massachusetts it's no more than 100 yahds.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what Spags said at the very end......"the coverage never works, if you don't do that" (referring to "redirect" or "reroutes". This is 1000% true. I'd argue that in every zone scheme, you need reroutes to keep receivers from just running free and to disrupt timing!
    Cover 2 is one of the strongest coverages you can run when you have the proper rules in place. Rerouting is one of those. Another, is having your corners stay square to the LOS and if there is an outside release by their receivers; 1) they try and drive the receiver OOBs to make them ineligible and 2) as soon as the receiver gets an outside release the corner stays on the inside hip (it becomes man to man cov. at that point). This keeps teams from simply releasing 3-4 receivers deep to overwhelm your two safeties! Now there's more to the technique but that is a basic start to running C2 and being strong against run, short passing game and deep passing game!

    Use big nickel on madden, sky 3 zone or 3 zone match. Replace your lbs with dBs.

    Place that lb in a zone or qb sky.

    • @jpm029
      @jpm029 5 років тому +12

      cover 3 is the most balanced compared to the cover 2 or 4 since first of all a cover 3 is a good run defense with 8 in the box and cover 3 dosent have a major hole like a cover 2 would(middle of field) or cover 4 ( underneath field) and the 8th guy in the box can be used as a blitzer or a spy and adds versatility to a defense unlike the others which are predictable. Have to make sure your top 2 CB'S have good enough speed to cover deep routes but your nickel and dime CB'S can be more physical than fast since there playing underneath zones in a cover 3.

    And he does not mention combo covers: Cov 4 on one side and Cov 2 on the other (often called Cov 6). I know that in HS and college these are very prevalent because of the wider hashes. Don't know about the NFL.

    What's the field position?
    What's the game time? (1st quarter? 4th?)
    What are the strengths of your Defensive team personnel-wise?
    What are the strengths of your opponent team personnel-wise?

    Love Spags and everything he did for the NY Football Giants. He ran a masterful defense in the Superbowl vs the Pats. On his second stint with the Giants, I was ecstatic he came back and was hopeful he’d take over after the McAdoo fiasco. Unfortunately he didn’t get the job and was saddened to see him leave again. A lot in life is timing. Had he stayed in NY and not left for the Rams, his first Head Coaching gig probably wouldve been the Giants after Coughlin was gone.
    After Shurmur was hired, I was hoping he stayed on, but am happy with our new DC James Bettcher who is very similar-only difference is Spags is a 4-3 guys vs Bettchers 3-4 base.
    Chiefs fans, you should be happy. Spags is loved by his guys and he isn’t one of those quiet coaches. He’s animated on the sidelines, pumps up his guys and you’ll see him cheer for the defense. I think a personable D coordinator is much better than one of those insular up-in-the-booth type coaches who doesn’t do face to face much with his players on Sunday. His defense is aggressive and fast and holds guys accountable. And he makes in game adjustments instead of the deer in the headlight look some defense coordinators have when they’re out coached and outclassed. You should be ecstatic he is your new coordinator.

  • @mroverdose14
    @mroverdose14 6 років тому +7

    Depends on the focus of your cover. I coach and teach a flat footed route adjusted cover 4. Safeties in cover 4 become alley contain/Fill replace players players in run. 3-4 base alignment.
    In pass situations its easy as you play quarters and protect the hashes and don't allow anything pass you while not giving too large of a cushion (so you can still close , 5-7 yards in my key but differs for different player skill levels and levels on the field). For instance I was able to stay close as I could nearly recover with any WR in High school and college. Low 4.4 guy and usual hovered around 3 yards from a players.
    Cover 4 in High School is usually used to stop outside runs and deep passes, forces Low level QBs to throw intermediate passes (hardest passes for high School QBs) which require them to read the field and and be accurate.
    Understand why you run a coverage and what situations you run it for. kinda already gives you an idea of what the offense wants to do. Half the battle is knowing

    I hate they don't show all the players on the field, they only follow the ball and then you see a CB getting burnt. I would like to see what happened and how things played about. Then you can really appreciate and understand the game.

      if they zoomed out to the point where all players were visible, it would be too hard to see where the ball is. i can appreciate and understand everything just fine the way it is,

      Ikr..i like to study teams' route concepts, especially teams with run n shoot concepts like the Patriots, where every route changes after the snap based on what the coverage is...but u cant see these routes develop based on the viewpoint on t.v., smh

    • @MikeBNumba6
      @MikeBNumba6 6 років тому +4

      jesse vu when I played in high school our coaches did such a shitty job explaining what cover 4 was. It came down to basically playing man coverage except you don't follow the wr across the field as a corner if he ran a slant pattern.
      Wasn't until I played in college that I understood what cover 4 really was

    • @hectorrodriquez8785
      @hectorrodriquez8785 6 років тому +17

      jesse vu Cov4 is a zone pass coverage with man principles. Think of it as a hybrid coverage commonly used against 2x2 formations. If you play either free or strong safety you will line up over or near the inside receiver (#2) anywhere from 8 -12 yards off depending on down, distance or situation. When the ball is snapped use a s-l-o-w back peddle and read qb to #2 receiver for run/pass read. If #2 receiver clears past the linebacker on your side and continues upfield, speed up your peddle cause you have him man to man - Don't get beat deep!!! Now, If #2 runs a short route (slant, drag, hitch, speed out) let the backers play it and find the #1 receiver while gaining depth in your back peddle as #1 may be going deep or running a route near you (Post, dig, in or curl). Your coaches may have calls and rules but this is the basic way Cov4 is played. Hope this helps - Goodluck!!!

      @32broward 6 років тому +4

      If it’s 2x2 you read number 2, if 2 goes out the corner jumps it and you get over the top of 1. If two goes in you let the lbs get him and keep backpedaling but look at 1 for a post. If 2 goes vertical he’s yours

    You use cover 4 if you have a long field. You play cover 3 at 3/4 field. At 40 yards it's safer to play cover 1. Cover 2 works perfect in Redzone. You have to utilize football speed by field postion and not expect the next Usain bolt.
