Consequently, this puts the backside corner in 1v1 coverage essentially, so while Fangio’s scheme doesn’t often call for matching up 1v1, there are times when the offensive aligment and coverage call dictate it.As I said above, we have been gleaning snippets from various players that give us some insight into Fangio and Donatell’s system. I’ll be honest with you. We’ve had some reps back there at safety. A defense could have a multitude of checks and coverages based on how the offense lines up, and they’re all just minor tweaks in technique or who plays what route, that it’s impossible for the offense to know exactly what they are going to do just based on pre-snap alignment.I’m really excited about Kareem, too.
It’s been like that,” Harris said.For instance, if the #2 receiver goes inside instead of outside here, the corner then locks onto the outside receiver, and the safety will play the inside route of the #2 based on the call he’s in.Another advantage that versatility and flexibility on defense gives you is the ability to disguise your looks and confuse the offense, or at the very least, keep them guessing as to what coverage you are in.If you missed yesterday’s post, you can check it out at the link above. If that happens, and the safety then sees the #2 go outside, his attention immediately shifts to the former #1 receiver, who is now in the position of the #2 receiver, and he stays with him.So we’ve heard a lot of different descriptions, but what does it boil down to? I think a lot of defenses are like that, but the vibe of this one is different. John Elway's final comeback is giving the Broncos a franchise quarterback in Drew Lock | Paul Klee.
Surprisingly, he remained silent on Wilkinson’s injury designation, but he did lift the lid on Bolles' own offseason preparations ahead of the crucial positional battle with his teammate.Wilkinson\u2019s hopes for a swift return to football normality have been put on hold, for now at least. Safety, nickel, corner, wherever you need to put him is where he’ll go. I’ll get into how the current Bears fit in Fangio’s scheme in my next post.Another key difference between the normal 4-3 under scheme and Vic Fangio’s version is versatility. Without versatile players his disguised alignments will be more transparent. Communication has been solid. In San Fran ILBs Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman were both high-level athletes and All-Pro players. Good luck to him.Coach Fangio addressed the battle for left tackle during Tuesday’s virtual presser. Broncos coach Vic Fangio sorry after saying there is no racism in NFL. Getty Images. Fangio’s consistently changing schemes are going to be a welcome addition to Bears fans who are used to watching the same defensive alignment over and over again (good riddance Mel! If you have help inside, play outside leverage and squeeze the receiver inside so your safeties have less ground to cover if they need to come help you.We’ll see as we dig into the tape how crucial it is that everyone be able to cover from all positions.Once again, we see disguise; a lesser quarterback likely lets the ball fly anyway the corner cuts underneath it for the pick.Now that’s a super simple play, and teams execute route switches like this all the time, but it illustrates the concept well of what you can do with matching zone and man principles together in a pattern matching coverage.This time, it’s the corner #23 who will drop off and the slot corner will carry the new #2 WR vertically into the help of the field safety and boundary safety if the receiver drifts over the middle.When Kareem Jackson was asked what Fangio’s system was like, the first word he used to describe it was “multiple”.If it wasn’t apparent from our small sample today, to run this defense, you need it to be extremely well coached. “If we called it Cover-4 (four-deep, man-based coverage), there were very specific reads for us when routes got into that 10- to 12-yard area. It’s not all dependent on ‘No Fly Zone’ or locking guys up one-on-one and play man-coverage all game. I’m excited to keep learning.” Here is an example of the LB roles on a standard pass play:Fangio likes his safeties to be interchangeable. Lighter Fangio weighs in on Von, Bolles, Chubb Broncos head coach dropped 30-plus pounds after he didn’t like what he saw of himself last year. Vic Fangio evaluates Drew Lock's second start for the Broncos. The Guardian. Again, if this is man coverage, that route is likely wide open if Amukamura is chasing the inside route and getting tangled up with the safety who is trying to get outside.Lastly, before we wrap up, if this is such a great system and match-zone is the wave of the future for defending spread offenses, why doesn’t everyone do it?This forces Goff to check down short of the sticks and then Fuller #23 and the linebacker rally up for the tackle.This is something that is difficult in today’s NFL climate of coaching turnover and shortened practice time, but I believe our particular players, who are all very savvy, cerebral guys, along with this coaching staff are uniquely positioned to make this work.“So, because we could not defend this, we could not play three-deep. It’s not all on the DBs like it’s been in the past. I think the biggest part about the defense is that it is all communication based. We pass the [burden] all around and I like that.
