Terms discussed: man, mirror technique, off man, press man, zone, coverage shells, cover 2, cover 3, cover 6, cover 7, man-match, pattern-match, rip/liz, greendog blitz, man free
The offseason is in full swing which gives us plenty of time to distract ourselves with any scraps of football we can cling to. For this offseason, the main distraction will be coverage concepts.
Coverage is one of the most important aspects of football but due to generally awful camera angles, most fans aren’t encouraged, or often even able, to get the full scope of what’s happening on the field.
The goal of this upcoming video series is to solve some of these issues. To get into the nitty-gritty of what football coverages are like and how Florida State Defensive Coordinator Adam Fuller uses them in his scheme.
So to start things off there needs to be a primer. This primer needs to not only educate viewers about the differences between coverage families but also how to identify them using the generally awful angles you get watching the game from home. Then it should explain how the offense can attack those coverages and what modifications the defense needs to make to fill those gaps. Hopefully, this primer accomplishes those things.

Came across your channel. Love it. I played from '82 to '86 until I fracture dislocated my ankle running routes during P.E. without my ankles taped the Monday before the first game of my senior year of high school. Since my season was over I shadowed my coaches during games. I learned a lot more about the game coaching than playing. I served in the Army and after retiring I started coaching the Pop Warner team I played for as a kid. I absolutely loved it. I've coached middle school kids ever since. As a life long Seminoles fan, GO 'NOLES! Cheers. P.s. I never let my kids practice without taped ankles. Lesson learned.

Gday from here in UK. Thanks for the brilliant content. I'm always interested in the nuances of American football and Basketball as growing up in the early 90s ( born 81' ) UK we never had alot of access to the " American sports " so never got to really learn the game even though I've been a fan for nearly 3 decades. So to be able to watch and learn from a well presented, really informative and uncomplicated video/s is a brilliant find that I'll be watching and studying ALOT. Big thanks and look forward to seeing more.

I LOVE these videos. I’m a late bloomer for football, my fandom didn’t kick-in until 2012 honestly, so less than 9 years of seriously following college football. The visual aids are incredible. My next obstacle is learning the play calling terminologies, as well as the specific roles/responsibilities of position groups. Of course, some position groups and play calls are easily defined. Others are super complicated, or difficult to recognize in the heat of a game. Especially as these terms are fluid depending on the coordinators/coach from one program to another.
@XsandNoles
@XsandNoles 2 жыл бұрын
Terminologies is very team specific but things like cover 3/ 4 and different route concepts tend to be universal. What do you mean by position group responsibilities?
@EdKennedyV
@EdKennedyV 2 жыл бұрын
@@XsandNoles For me, as an example, I can cheer & brag when the Noles pick up a stud at DB, or linebacker, perhaps a DE. But I have a hard time knowing what, specifically, those position groups are held responsible for on the field. The general concept, yes, is obvious: stop the offense from driving the field. But I’m speaking to their roles on a defense. Know most of those are a Google search away. I can read as much as I want, but sometimes seeing it play out in a live or review setting helps put it into perspective. Also doesn’t help that different staffs call these position groups by different terms (and different sites like Rivals and 247 might call them something else). Hope that makes sense, I’m not expecting videos on this, I suppose this is just research I’ll need to do on my own time.

In 1988, I programmed Joe B. Hall's (Kentucky) 1-3-1 zone defense. I then animated/ran plays against it and wondered if the computer could eventually deign optimal plays against it. Later I worked w a DB for the Browns to create a playbook but that wasn't animated. I did create a prototype for football that tested a players ability to read a defense in real time eventually using touch screen overlay on video for a prototype for the Vikings in 1991. I have video of it up on KZfaq if you are interested. My expertise is now video game- based learning.

Excellent video! I am a Louisville fan but got recommended this by KZfaq. I enjoy seeing channels with people that are actually knowledgeable about the game and how it is supposed to be played and this appears to be one of these channels. I prefer these channels to the "homeboy" type channels where the person just beats their chest about their team or conference, screams into the mic, repeats what everyone else says, and shares little to no actual insight. I enjoy learning about the x's and o's of different sports and what it takes to actually play those sports at a high level. Thank you for making this video! It is one of the best general football educational/strategy videos that I have seen. Good luck to the Noles next season!

Could you discuss maybe some offensive plays that can be great for these coverages? Like for example the seam route that WR2 (slot wr) went for and got an easy completion. Also, will audibles be effective when changing these and are audibles team made? In the case that the QB sees something he doesn't like, can he audible to another play that will be more effective on a defense for a specific coverage. (e.g. WR1 go route, WR2 10 yard Out Route on Cover 2 *after the audible is called*) Btw, great video. Keep it up!

What's more common in today's college game is packaged plays where the qb has different route concepts on each side of the ball and/ a pass and a run and he gets to decide which one is best pre snap

My spouse is getting more interested in football. Her original thought on the sport was that it is just men bashing themselves together to fight over the football 20 years later and a few fantasy football seasons in, she has become fairly aggressive with trying to understand how to get better results from picking her players and where they play and who they play against etc Watching our favorite team she definitely has shown faster turn around then even some of my guy friends. She's a hoot having around when the gang gathers for a big division rival (pretty proud of her) I think her next logical step is understanding the situation just before the ball is snapped. She's heard me multiple times yell out coverages and thinks she will never get to my level. However I swear she has it in her she's just not truly trusting her instincts I'm going to share your video with her and see what she thinks. It'll naturally take time to adjust but I can see her next season surprising the gang at the next tailgate session!

This was a really informative video. Next time try putting the viewer in the seat of the QB looking at the defense rather than looking at the defense from behind though. I know that's likely not possible for the live-action scenes, but for the X's and O's it will help.

On the very last defensive formation they're lined up in Cover 4, and also playing the Sticks to prevent a first down. The areas highlighted as the weak spots in the video are not the actual weak spots in this formation because of how they're back playing sticks. The weak spots on this formation are everything in front of the first down line, and in this case the weak spots are there by design. They're inviting the offense to throw in front of the first down line so they can immediately run up and tackle, giving up a completion however one too short for a first down.

The safeties in "sticks" would be at the LOS but you can see they drop deep after the snap. You could also attack underneath the dropping defenders though

It was a simple 5-2 zone. If it had been a Cover 4, the corner would have run back with the WR post route and the safeties would be more central. It could in theory also have been a Cover 3 read, with the player responsible for the central third staying short after seeing there is no deep threat in his segment but given the down situation, I suspect not. Rather, I assume that the 2 inside zone cover players have responsibility for any receiver crossing into the deep central hole from their side, which is why they are sitting a little deeper than the mike.

can someone explain why at 4:40 the weak side linebacker and strong side are designated as they are? I would have thought the strong side would be lined up on the side of the tight end and in the direction the RB would go in, say an inside read option. also, what space is "the box" exactly? It seems wider than between the tackles... and how far back does it go? I'm sure someone here knows. thanks for the video. I wish I'd learned this stuff a long time ago.

Good eye! I messed up on this video I made forever ago, but if you're catching errors like that then that's a good sign!

I like press man coverage with a jam and the safeties helping.... but sometimes the talent isn't there, or the numbers/mismatch..be it a CB, or poor safety help. U also can't always be in man. You must switch up to zone, and change up small things throughout the game. It's also hard to play ANY defensive coverage with no good push from the D line. Which..leads to blitz, that leaves you with a bit disadvantage if you don't get to the QB, or affect his throw.

@@XsandNoles there's always a weakness. That's why there is what u said about Saban's add-on with numbers in his favor. He directly works with his DB's as well to this day. Zone, sometimes that outside DB in the flat has to go with him up in man. There's so much. The curl/flat. Flat/curl. I love defense.

There's a part two in coverages. It's called "fullers coverages" and it looks more at the match man stuff. Glad you like the video!

so, whatever coverage it is that the safeties are playing, would the quarterback always throw the ball to the weak spot, wherever the wide receivers are going
@XsandNoles
@XsandNoles Жыл бұрын
Sometimes. But then you throw in stuff like Tampa 2 where the Mike drops tot he deep middle or some man match stuff and it gets rather complicated. But yes as a rule of thumb it makes sense to attack those areas in zones
