Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley's approach to combatting modern offenses will likely spread around the NFL in the near future. Staley's time as defensive coordinator with the LA Rams proved that his scheme can be successful in the modern NFL, so today, I'll take you through where the elements of Staley's scheme come from, why they are effective against modern offenses, and why more teams around the league will soon look to adopt some of those elements.
Here are a few resources I used to create today's video:

Want to do an update on how he seems to be the only problem the chargers have.
clearly not head coach material. But his talents as a defensive coordinator as top tier.
@rishijagtap8593 my left big toe could look good at coaching Jalen and Aaron
5:14 "How is the Rams defense so good against the run despite running 2 high safety ?
Step 1: have Aaron Donald on your roster
This was literally the first thing that popped into my head lmfao
I was literally looking to time stamp the same thing lol. He is leaving out you have to have a specialized roster to create a new scheme. Basically if you build your scheme around a couple key players it'll be unique and successful
😂 exactly
Maybe Urban Meyer will watch this video, now that he has to focus on coaching.
Dude got some of the best defensive players in the league a scheme only as good as the players that execute them
this video aged so poorly
I’m a rams fan, and when I saw him get the HC of the chargers, I said “It’s not going to work and he needs to stay here”.
Lol. I was just about to say the same thing.
@@checkdown3774 He and mcvay balance together. Mcvay is great offensively so let him handle that play calling and staley is good on defense. Well he’ll probably get a defensive coordinator job somewhere else, but he missed out on a ring.
@@TheSDATuba39 The Chargers is California 9/11
@fernandopineda2032 I know right? So many 🤡🤡🤡 were saying Fangio was revolutionizing the NFL - now Fangio and his clones Brandon Staley and Joe Barry got fired 😂
Two years later and the Chargers have one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
I know absolutely nothing about football besides just watching the games, but your videos are some of the most interesting I've seen on explaining the game.
Another awesome analyst is Jackson Krueger Productions I think his name is. He breaks down players and shows how they could improve on things. He goes very slow and easy to learn with
@@nathanengstrom4705 ,d5l
Well, he must not be that bright if he's wearing a mask.
haven’t watched the video yet, subbed only off this comment. i’m excited
Great call. The refs fucked the game up, but that’s no excuse. We still had plenty of chances to put this away even with the bozo refs
This is the single greatest video I’ve ever seen. Truly a revolutionary that surpasses the physical plane of existence. I just don’t know what we could have done without him. I mean, imagine all the terrible wins we could have gotten if someone else that was actually qualified ran this team. It’s too tragic to think about
Todd Bowles runs something similar. He uses what is almost a 5-2 defense. Instead of gap and a half, he often lets the NT play 2 gap while everyone else plays 1. The nose, VIta Vea, is so strong that he can generate pass rush while playing a 2 gap nose tackle. Since the OL can't climb to engage the linebackers, the 2 ultra speedy Bucs ILB's can run and make plays, coming in tied for second in 2020 in tackles for loss.
If Vita Vea didn't miss most of the year, they may well have had the top defense. He is the best player on that defense. The dude is terrifying and so few people know who he is.
As a Pats fan that's why we loved Vince Wilfork... That dude could take up four gaps by himself!!
Yea to run a defense like that your nose tackle has to be special vita Vea’s and Aaron Donald’s don’t grow on trees
I told a couple bucs fan this and they didnt agree,i told em vita vea is the main part of this defense and hes gonna get paid big time. Hes to special a player
It takes a special kind of beast to play the nose bare handed.
Husky!!
Ok but how good is the scheme without Aaron Donald eating up double and triple teams every play? One player effectively becoming 2 allows the DC to use that freed player in coverage
Exactly bro I said I know why he can run a tite front AARON DONALD!!!!
The scheme actually works pretty well because it makes the reads in a zone run kind of useless. The hole that the runner hits isn't actually open because the defensive tackle/end can pull both ways. The only way you could reliably beat the front is with a double team from a fullback or tight end or a chip block for outside runs.
How's the scheme looking now after a Von Miller trade?
Don’t forget Ramsey ability to clamp the #1
Not great… look at the chargers defense last year. Eaten the fuck up on the run
Certainly helps having the best DT and CB in the game.....
Much respect to a real student of the game. Keep up the amazing content.
Note: the "Seattle scheme" was actually created in Tampa bay by gus Bradley, who transported it to seattle in 09, when he became d coordinator there. Not Pete Carroll.
Finally someone says this 🤝🏽
No it was probably made in the 60s or 70s like most defenses
@@thetruthintheboothfelix9647 ok there bozo
@@thetruthintheboothfelix9647 false. Most teams in the 60’s and 70’s played man to man with 2 high safeties
You must be a millennial bozo that thinks everything was invented in the 21st century 😂 - all of this stuff just goes in and out of fashion and was invented a long time ago
The guy had prime Aaron Donald & prime Jalen Ramsey... PERIOD! He could run ANY D & still dominate
This video hasn't aged well!😂😂😂
I was like wtf after the Staley hire. I wanted Dabol or Beienemy from KC. After listening to him multiple times and what people said about him including Ramsey showering him with respect I let my gaurd down. Ramsey respects very few people and always gives a honest assessment of what he thinks about someone.
And all I kept hearing was well you dont have Donald or Ramsey to so the same thing the Rams did when he made them the 1# defense. I expect a high caliber defense but, not 1# I just want him to be able to squeeze every ounce of talent out of this current roster. If his scheme truly is what people say then it only gets me more excited. Gonna be a good first test against Dallas top WR core.
As a rams fan I was upset when he left. He going to be a good head coach.
@@edgarcasiano527 After doing some research on him I understood what he was about and what his plan was for Herbert. Great speaker, extremely motivational and a great coaching job week 1 although still got a lot to prove. I'm glad they passed on the Bill's and KCs offensive coordinator, hell neither of them got HC jobs which is almost insane to to think about but no one wanted that dumpster fire job down in Texas for now anyway until they get 3 1st round picks for Watson.
L
@@SouthernBrick That plan still has to show results. I think Herbert can still get the most out of his pass attack but if he's still gotta make magic out of 3rd and long situations, that isn't beneficial. We've seen all that crap from last season with another conservative coach/play caller. Many people probably think Herbert still has take his lumps in year 2 but I think the Chargers aren't putting him in even better positions to win key situations and dump points. And with the AFC West, besides the Chiefs the Raiders have demonstrated they can dump scores fast if you let them.
@@t4d0W Drops and penalties has held back the team in the redzone. 1 TD dropped by Guyton in week 1 that came down to 3 points and Chargers have some how upped the ante this season by erasing multiple TDs.
The field goal I'm gonna let go. I felt like if he doesn't hook that kick slightly it gets blocked and the game gets way out of hand. Kicker had a good game. Lost by 3 but, Chargers shot themselves in the foot. Theirs gonna be growing pains on both sides of the ball.😩 New offense along with a entirely new offensive line besides Bulaga and new defensive scheme guess I should've expected it.
Chip Kelly's influence on the game is so underrated.
He destroyed philly and sent them back 3 yrs.
@@dougstyles that might be true but you missed the point.
Opened the NFL field up and made college concepts cool again🤝
Those Oregon teams in the early 2010’s were really something to watch
@@dougstyles true... But now you see modern offenses and college concepts and teams thriving whilst doing so..
Another awesome and very informative video. Thanks for it, and keep it up.
This video is awesome. Thanks for putting it together. Helped me finally put together all the schematic implications of using the tite front
Best video I’ve seen in a while. You did a great job explaining this defense and I appreciate you helping us all understand football better. I’m subscribing
Billy, This is very well done. Cuts to sound. Great job.
I enjoy watching both game and player highlights to make player projections for fantasy and to stay abreast about football and trends. You’re a god send and your football knowledge is immaculate and I love how you explain it, in a way that it’s so digestible. - notifications on!
Such good content, really appreciate how long you must had to work to put something like this together. Great Work!!!
Fantastic video man! Super informative!
This is a phenomenal video. Good work.
I play football and am obsessed with your videos, amazing job explaining. giving me so much more football knowledge
scheme breakdown and history of schemes is super interesting!
Fantastic video. Very well done.
Awesome video.
I can’t tell you how many articles I read and podcast I listened to in order to get a good grasp of Staley’s Rams defense and you brilliantly summed up most of it here in 20min video.
Props man.
I haven’t played football since high school but I vaguely remember going over schemes and that was my favorite part about the game..studying the opponent and coming up with ways to beat them
This is just awesome stuff! Keep it up!
your style of video is one of the most useful football video out there.
keep going billy. you are doing a vere good job.
Great review and excellent explanation! Your depth of understanding is impressive and I definitely learned a few things from watching this video. Just subbed!

Dude, you are the man. Videos are awesome.
I love the chess match of football and watch hours of coaching videos. This is one of the best X&O videos I’ve seen. Well done!
This video was amazing! Broke it down clear and simple and made it really easy to understand. I’ve heard of some of these concepts a million times, but they’re often glossed over. It was really nice to have them actually explained. Subscribed!
Learned a lot today. Great video!
Great breakdown. So cool hearing about the Xs and Os of football.
Phenomenal video(s), terrific job man

Wowser! as my head explodes.
Keep up the good work. I will understand all this with your help. Ty.
Awesome breakdown. Thank you
Amazing contact as always. Keep up the good work, you deserve to be a full-time CZcamsr.
I always learn some thing when I watch one of your productions, but it’s never too much information in one sitting. And it’s never overly complicated. You do a tremendous job
Thank you so much!

Great video!!!
This is an excellent breakdown, congrats you got yourself a new sub
Excellent video!
I was never a good player nor line men coach because of my low aptitude for the sport but watching your breakdowns makes me see that i just didn't study enough at something i wasn't good at. Thank you for your amazing work.
very well done!
Very educational.....Very informative.....thanks
Great analysis!!!
I wish espn would have break downs like this. You and jomboy makes sports interesting.
Great job
This is a brilliant breakdown! You have a new subscriber. 💪🏾
This video was so fascinating, I love logistics and when you were describing the type of players this defense needs it almost sounded exactly what most Hybrid 3-4's have. I'm not a technique guy like most youtubers here, be it you, Brett Kollman, or Jackson Krueger Sports. I go by size and style, and the bigger the range in size, the more hidden gems you're likely to find in drafting/free agency, imho. What I love about the Hybrid 3-4 is that it has the ability to incorporate EVERY SINGLE defensive package there is, be it a nickel and dime that can look just like a 4-3 type nickel and dime (instead of 4-2-5 it's a 2-4-5, or instead of a 4-1-6, it's a 2-3-6), or the many unique packages that already come with 3-4's, be it the classic 3-3-5, the modern 3-3-5 as I saw in this video (and what I noticed the Packers started doing in 2019), 3-2-6, 2-3-6 with 2 ILB's and not outside, 1-5-5 Psycho, and one I haven't seen yet and would love to see for the sheer madness to it, the 1-4-6. The Hybrid 3-4 can literally take ANY player and make it work, unlike a pure 3-4 needing more 3-4 type players, or a 4-3 needing 4-3 type players.
The Packers are a great example of this even under Joe Barry, our OLB's are the size of a typical 4-3 DE, they're not the kind of LB's I would send back in coverage, the NT Kenny Clark isn't even 320+lbs. (I consider 320+ to be the proto typical sized NT so as to take advantage of O-linemen as much as possible, like double-triple teams), our ILB's include guys that are almost as lightweight as oldschool SS's like Kam Chancellor or Roy Williams, instead of big dudes like Brian Urlacher/Ray Lewis. It's the kind of defense you can look at and say, there are so many guys like this in college, why spend 1st round picks on a front 7/6 guy? Run stopping DT's between 285-320lbs. are so common you can literally wait until Day 3 in the draft to find a hidden gem, aside from Clark, all of our DT's are either Day 3 guys or undrafted. ILB's? Look how little value has been placed on ILB's, one of our starters was an undrafted rookie last year in Krys Barnes, at 229lbs.. Excluding Rashan Gary, our Edge Rushers are Day 2 guys or undrafted. When you consider the logistics when scouting college players, where are you more likely to find hidden gems? Not in 260lb ILB's like Urlacher, not in 285lb. Edge Rushers like Julius Peppers, and certainly not 1 of a kind DT's like JJ Watt, Aaron Donald, Suh, or dare I say the late great Reggie White? No, you gotta find the most common type of players coming out of college, and they are what I described on the current Packers team. It's all Logistics, finding the simplest route to your goal. It's the same thing you were describing on what Staley is doing, finding the simplest route to a goal in not just stopping the run, but stopping the pass, and building the team.
And ftr, the way you were describing this defense, ALMOST, keyword ALMOST reminded me of the most basic play in every Madden Game ever. In the oldest Madden's it's called Man Lock, in the PS2 Madden's it's called 2 Man Under. What the play is, is SO simple. The CB's are on Man Coverage on their assigned WR's. The Safeties are in 2 deep zone coverage (not to dissimilar from that play you showed off on 14:55), it's a consistent 4 man rush no matter what package, while the LB's be it 3-4 ILB's or 4-3 LB's in general are ALL in Man Coverage, but they react to the ball and play given that LB's can blitz and cover at the same time. So imagine a modern 3-3-5 the way this video showed, using 2 Man Under, the lone ILB can either stay in coverage if there's a RB sneaking out or a big TE, or blitz if they're BOTH in a block assignment, the CB's stay on their WR's, while the Safeties obviously react to the play exactly the way you showed, all in the meantime there's a 5 man rush on the QB or RB.
As a matter of fact, it's what the Saints did to Aaron Rodgers (somewhat) that utterly destroyed the Packers! The Saints simplified their defense instead of sending exotic blitz packages. They just maintained a 4 man rush and kept dropping everyone back in coverage, daring the Packers to run the football, and for some reason there was nothing A-Rod could do about it. A simple play like that can neutralize the most complex of offenses, and I find it hilariously, ironic.
TL;DR, the simpler the defense, the more you frustrate opposing offenses.
Great video!!!👍
Subbed. Loving the videos!
Awesome video! Not enough coaches are willing to break away from the normal schemes. This scheme is pretty simple yet effective. It’s amazing how simple tweaks in a scheme can make a world of a difference.
That is utterly fascinating!
amazing stuff you’re doing here bro. i’ve watched every video and i look forward to the next
great breakdown
Great video I know football but I learned a lot from this video thankyou
Probably the best video posted so far
Thanks! I definitely put more time into this one than any other videos.

Nice work, reminded me of what I loved about film day.
Good to see Chargers getting covered more... we're coming back into the discussion as a contending team.
As a WAshington fan i wish we took Herbert over Chase at this point
@@sy-ky_buddy4603 i feel you. Chase does his thing tho.
Tyrone,
You spoke too early.
You are the most knowledgeable film Guru on defensive tape
Top notch breakdown
Great video. I see a lot of Wade and Bum Phillips on there. Good job.
That was phyucking awesome!! I thought it was a hybrid "52Double Eagle" front when I first saw it. Instead of lining the DT's over the guards in a "2 Tech", slide them out to the "4i". Can't wait to see the breakdown of how offenses will attack it with success.
I'm from Berlin Germany and American Football was growing in popularity over here since a few years. I just wanted to appreciate your effort and let you know that you've got a new subscriber and fan overseas 👌🏾
Love the oregon shoutout. I was there for it all and you hit it in the nose
This is one of the greatest CZcams videos I’ve ever seen
yesss a new video!!
These videos are good and for two reasons: They include insightful analysis and they concise. No babble, no prolix, no needless intensifiers, exaggerations or cliches. Solid writing, editing and delivery. The author gets to the point and expresses complex material succinctly. That's refreshing.
I played football in college and at the semi-pro level. I coached at the high school level.
It's amazing how little I know about football.
Love the channel.
Wish more casual fans knew about this stuff. Love it! My first time watching, thanks for the content. Instant subscriber 💪 🏈
Great video! New sub
Saw this before the draft and love it. Rewatched this today, after draft and free agency are far behind us. The Chargers’ choices in draft and free agency…seems like they plan to use the 404 a lot in 2022. They have the players to rock this scheme.
Great stuff Billy, looking forward to seeing more and more interesting tite/mint stuff in the league. I think the play at 15:19 is 3 Buzz, rather than match quarters tho.
Thanks! I thought it was 3 buzz at first too, but the free safety’s footwork makes it look like MQ. If he was expanding toward the deep middle, it would look more like 3 buzz. The mike’s reaction to the rb’s release also makes it look like MQ. I could be wrong though
@@BillyStephens true, I could see it either way, tbh the two coverages are increasingly indistinguishable from a two safety shell!
This aged like milk.
Great content, and what’s funny is the 3 down line with 4i’s is getting a lot of traction in college and below thanks to mainly Dave Aranda’s tite 3-4 and Iowa State’s 3 high safety tite 3-3.
This is totally awesome!!! A great breakdown of a defense!! I love it. Please do more🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 maybe Nick Saban’s Alabama Defense or Chip Kelly’s Oregon Offense. Dude maybe break down how the College football game is now in the pros
Great job on the breakdown.
Breakdown of a scheme is right in your wheelhouse.
Thank you so much bro. I enjoy vic/Stanley philosophy on defense. And your attention to detail is excellent. Any thoughts on 3high defense?
