Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5199094, member: 10113"] Just because you said it: I thought I’d help you out on some football zone coverages we ran. It’s not as simple as “covering an area” unless you don’t know anything about football. We started out in ”match cover 2”, with deuce over their running back. Everyone else was matched up to a receiver to start, except Cinco. It was a disguised coverage that we immediately went into cover three. now in cover 3 a linebacker has the running back and diggs is the spy (and is also illegally blocked) which allows the quarterback to get to the edge so easily. When the play breaks down the linebacker now has the QB assignment and is on his way to meet the quarterback when Bellamy breaks off of his assignment to do the same. All three of deuce, Cinco and Grant are late to rotate, as two of the deep safeties should have the “play” half the field now, and the other one, the other half of the field.. (however teams have been routinely splitting our safeties drawing both of their attention, allowing another open deep route, where we are passing receivers off to no one), as I have mentioned. Bellamy is not supposed to leave his man as long as the linebacker is in position and the quarterback has not crossed the line of scrimmage. That’s called “keeping everything in front of you”. He realizes his mistake that the quarterback has not crossed the line of scrimmage, and immediately retreats and knows they’re likely is not someone behind him. once a play breaks down the way it did, you cannot know what is behind you after three or four seconds. Bellamy should’ve stayed with his man and Grant and Cinco should’ve been rotating over quicker. The play is on all of them to be honest. if you have anything you’d like to share with me on zone coverage, please do, since you were so eager to educate me on what zone coverage is. [/QUOTE]
