Hey, Coach. It looks like the Saints were playing a variation of 3 Match (Rip/Liz) called “Skinny”. This is a 3x1 check where the Nickel plays #2 out and up M2M. This is a great concept to attack this coverage because the ILB to the Trips has to “push” with the motion of #3 but then is called off by the CB when #1 goes “under”. Because the Nickel is carrying #2 vertically, there’s a natural gap to throw the dig. Also, the backside ILB, being the weak hook or 3-Up player, gets depth and supports with the vertical of #2 when #3 pushes to the flat, further opening the window for the throw. Great example of manipulating a defense’s coverage rules through formations and motions to get what you want. Great video too and I always appreciate and learn from your content. As a defensive coach, it helps me to understand how an offensive coach thinks.
Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing! Keep up the videos coming!
No problem! I’ve got more in the pipeline!
Packaging Plays video please & thank you!

Thanks for the great insight, coach! appreciate the defensive analysis on this, makes sense that they are in match with 5 over 3. Thanks for watching!
You’re welcome. I’m glad to help out and return the favor for some of the things I’ve learned from you.
It’s a chase concept, it’s a concept that Miami dolphins use.
That lions play looks like a sucker concept
You might be right on that one. Very similar
Hey Coach, will you be doing a video/article on the Sniffer back in the passing game. Your article on the sniffer in the run game was great.
Yeah I don’t have a ton of clips but I’ve got some pass sets that I like out of it. I can add that to my list
Hei bro Are you looking for a professional UA-cam thumbnail designer and video seo expert?
