Thanks for the post...I love any defensive talk that's sound.
Great stuff I love Cover 4 because you can get so many variations of it. You are great! Our team won states playing that defense but I love the wrinkle of Mix by maning #1 to trips. I will incorporate that this week in training camp.
We generally change coverages if that is an issue. It is usually the down safety and corner that get picked. We play man on 3 sometimes and 2 read on 1 and 2. We also play a strong rotated 3 deep.
No Problem Mary Ann, thanks for watching.
Dude I love this defense!!!
we run run every trips coverage you discussed and a few combos. My favorite..because its so easy to teach young players is zone to the trips side and lock away( half mack) if the away side runs a vertical route the CB runs over the top and the w/s is now in robber coverage. Presnap...the w/s puts himself in position to take away any slant/post by the backside #1...CB only has to worry about a vertical route. To the trips side we press the #2 . The defender pressing #2 is responsible for any short flat plays a vertical route by #1. The C/B and F/S play a combo..the C/B is responsible for the deepest WR closest to the sideline #1. The F/S is responsible for the deepest WR from the hash to the middle #2... our short player does not cover grass..3 verts he runs..backside vert and w/s is looking to also run if no bend route. not sure what you think about this change up. There is more to it, but this is the basic
yesssir just how we did it at LaTech!!! great vid coach
Palms and 2 Read are the same coverage. Hip is an alignment for a LB
Great video coach 👍thx
Coach, great videos. As a young coach who faces trips, doubles, stack, and spread, they help out a lot. Do you ever run into the problem of your FS getting picked by #1 or #2? If so do you just adjust the assignments to allow the corner to release #1 as long as #1 is running a slant or cross or do you just stem the FS to make it more difficult to pick him?
2 Read is a coverage where the corner and safety play coverage rules off the release of #2 receiver. Stress is the same coverage with backside safety pulling up 3 vertical in trips.
Loved that last piece where you talked about roll coverage......I run a 3-4 and have had success with the roll to 3.....what I am doing now is in that roll using Sam on the trips side and rolling the SS over top for the deep 3rd with the FS playing the middle deep 3rd.
Rodney Garner Coach never answered my question.
How would you defend the Go Slide Choice routes in the run& shoot offense?
Love man #1 and pattern read #2 & #3 strong, We'll also pattern read a RB and weakside #1 if the back is lined up weak. I also like rolling that corner down vs rolling a safety down. We called it "cloud". Gives us a better shot at covering 4 verts. Tell that corner that he jams then goes vertical with #1 with eyes on #3. He can continue vertical until something threatens the flat. So bubble he can jump but if he's outside leverage #1 and they all go vertical he can stay outside leveraged and continue vertical.
Always liked bracketing the single, why i choose to play with 3 safeties
Excellent explanation
TE to the trips side causes a little bit if a problem because of the distance between the #2 receiver and the tight end. Usually go to some form of 3 deep or use the backside safety to trap the tight end vertical and play 2 read on #1 and #2 . If the TE is away as a single we play cover 2 concepts with half player playing it more like quarters or robber
It is a 2 Read concept where the Corner and Safety will determine the coverage based on the release of the #2 receiver. I guess palms is a fancy way to describe read, "like read my palm". Coaches can get crazy to keep their terminology secret!!!
It works well with high school kids, makes the rules kind of simple and is very flexible.
Would love to hear about the 3Z concept. Does it allow you to bracket the single side? That's a huge sticking point for me.
I love your videos... I wish there was a youth/middleschool version of them though. Play 3 true safeties in our league would be NOT a good idea (middle school football = 80% run). I switched to the 4-2-5 this past week against a double wing team and it worked beautifully.... against the pistol, pistol wide... I'm trying to decide where to pressure the RUN from though.
No problem, hope it helps.
We face a lot of teams who run 11 personnel with 3 wides. Usually a twins flex look. What is your favorite type of coverage out of that specific formation in a 4-2 with a dynamic TE? Your chalk talk is extremely helpful to me since I am rebuilding a program with limited coaches. Thank you so much for your videos!
Thanks for your explanation of how you defend trips. How does this adjust to either TE on the trips side? How does this adjust if the TE is on the single receiver side?
Coach, how do you defend the TE trips (Trey) formation? Mix or something else?
If you are defending the slant bubble from trap or stress where you are actually playing regular 2 Read with the LS then yes he must try and get hands on the slant by 2 until 3 is in a position to out leverage him on the bubble. The mike will not get to the slant window as quick because he is in the box. The coverages are all meant to defend certain things and you choose them based on how the offense attacks.
Thanks,
My main 2 trips checks always leave a drop down defender weak for speed option and single receiver throws. I think the single side is easier for high school coaches to attack. In the video the Mix and Special coverages are the ones you want to use because they use Cov 2 theories to the single side.
If we play roll we try and make it look like Mix coverage as long as possible, before we spin down to Roll coverage.
Stunt your line to cancel gaps vs running qbs, be careful blitzing vs running qbs. Use mostly zone pressure
Hey coach how would go about defending the go route and choice route in the run&shoot offense?
The SS or Sam that reads #3 needs to be in the window of the out route with leverage on the flat route. We would like to Cover deepest first. The FS will be driving the out by 3 but will be late
I would stay split field but possibly zone up the responsibilities because of the picks and rubs. Our base coverage doesn't use the backside safety so we are fine.
That coverage is set up for the bubble screen. The LS is outside of #2 and he has immediate leverage on the bubble screen. This turns the bubble back to the FS and the Mike where we want it. The RS aligns at 10 so we give the same 2 high look every time. We use the RS and the RC as force players at any time so it changes the look. Having a drop down player weak helps defend weak side runs and by not using that safety to the trips side we can bracket the single. Always remember the guy with the marker last always wins. If you know the coverage you should be able to beat it. The key to any good defense is disguising the coverages and making it all look similar.
Could I play this technique against a tunnel screen
Thanks coach Mac!
You are welcome
I had to come back down 0-2 I been playing good. Just no help from my OC…. I’m looking to get more turnovers in my 425
Hey coach, just wondering; where do you get your film? Is there a certain website?
Hey coach,what is the best against a QB who runs in the trips side when the TE is in the single side? Can i bring the another DB for the stronside and blitzing with the Mike? thanks
Coach how do you teach your guys to defend the flood concept to your lock down one 2 read defense?
Which coverage Keith? We have a base way to defend it and then 2 other concepts.
Coach mac when defending against trips in a 35 cover 3 zone explain the best way to cover the running back swing to the trips side. Thanks
You have to find a way to match numbers, I’ll assume you have to push both stacks and the mike that way but at least front side Stack and Mike to get 5 on 4
+Thomas MacPherson Hi, I love your videos! Very informing! I was wondering if you could do a video on cover/Tampa two coverage,shells and anything in between. Just because so many "experts" claim the coverage to be "dead". Thank you.
I can talk a little about Tampa 2, one of the reasons it faded away in college is because of the splits by receivers and the stress on safeties
How does the spacing of the WRs affect 2 read? i.e.vs trips, the split between #2 & #3 being too wide?
Which coverage Robert? They all have weaknesses.
Standard 2 man gap exchanges, 5 man, man free pressure and 6 man zero pressure.
You need a bad ass Mike for this defense to cover the slant to the flats. Seen a lot of players get confused.
Mike only has #4 to the flat from the backfield
I do not talk about Special Coverage in the video. I would play man on #3 to the trips with my FS and palms or 2 read on 1 and 2 to the trips with my Down Safety and Corner. That allows me to drop a player down weak and play Cover 2 theories to the single receiver.
Coach Mac when'd defending Trips and they have a back to week side. A lot of teams like to go speed option to the weak side! What's the best way to defend that under your concepts... Seems like we're are out numbered in the boundary on run fit!
Coach, in MIX with your LS playing the roll of the C in Palms what should he do if #2 (the new #1) runs a shallow cross? Zone off, chase or something else? Thanks!
Zone it off and find work, the shallow will go to a zone side. The Mike should try and cut it if he can.
how do u play the run, any stunts you like to use vs the veer and trap
Robber or Quarters to one side man or Cover 2 to the other.
With yoru safety playing off coverage on the trips side, don't you leave yourself vulnerable to rub routes?
Hey coach on that first concept of defending the trips wasn't clear on what coverage you play behind it. Which coverage would you call??????????????
Coach Mac can you do a video of cover 6 vs 3x1 2x2?
I can try
How would you cover the old Steve Walsh play: 3 x1 where the #1 receiver runs a deep post route and all the other runs go routes. On your board the #1 receiver is all the way on the left.
Depends on the coverage, some of our 3x1 stuff is man to man on Field side #1. That is the player who statistically gets the ball the least in HS
Coach, we play a similar palms concept. I'm curious as to what you do when you get bunch? Do you still man 1 and read off 3?
Depends on who the point man is
What we typically see is #2 at the point. 1 and 3 off.
how would you cover a bunch formaion?
coach you ever make yourself available to take questions? Or conference with coaches over the offseason? Aside from youtube of course.. thanks again
I am currently changing the web site and adding a members only section. I envision being able to do some webinars or video clinics and I am currently writing an ebook on split field coverages. I fly to New York every year during the summer and consult with a staff there. I am extremely interested in doing some more consulting work in the future. Where are you?
Austin Tx
Alejandro Juarez What school? Ive never been to Texas, i see some of the facilities there and it blows me away.
If You align the FS and the LS literally 3 yards from each other, there is no way either one of them can be effective. I would bubble screen that corner every single play until you adjust. The corner is either Man or Cover two(outside shad). That makes it an easy screen, then all we have to do is bubble the #3 out and make sure #2 block that LS.... I also don't understand why the RS is so deep. We would run a Down G blocking scheme to the weak side. That safety coming from 10 yards is giving my running back a two way go, Coach - take that corner off the trip wideout. I just can't see why you would align him there especially if number is not even a threat.....my two cents
Can you give me some schemes on defending the double wing t offense
we use all them to beat Hawaii in 09 3 cloud 3 skip cover 1 and we played o out of that very D really sound D
What is "Palms Coverage" versus 2 Receiver Side in Empty?
How does tcu make there calls ? Do the call coverage and tag it with there trips check
So slide 2-blue solo
Would that be 2- read side
Blue -away side
Solo vs trips
Slide is adding the safety ?
How is your basic call.
Slide tells them how to handle 2 Back with sniffer strong, more of a 4-3 principle. That is generally how they call their coverages. I am not fully into TCU terminology but that sounds right.
Do a videos of cover 4?roll Cheack only
3x1?
Bunch trips 3 on one side one running back and x other side
what are "2 read" "trap" and "stress"? thank you
thanks for the definitions
what does "hip" and "palm"mean?
thanks for the definitions
Why not switch M and W
You certainly could
Please New York jets please get coach Mac a job please god jets please listen to me
They don’t want me, although i am from along Island
Bunch trips! Tight and wide. Can you ask the backside safety to play the #3 going vert?
I think not with out changing his alignment. Ideas on still maintain split field coverage.
We can always go to a version of cover 3. But it m curious on how you would defend it. Obviously you need to know what they like to do out of it based on tendencies. Bubble/rubs/verticals/outside zone/GT WEAK
