for those new to coverages

mainly it is who covers who in the different coverages…and who covers who in the different schemes.

I personally love a great 3-4 straight up…
mixing in the 4-3 under.

if D.Thomas could have learned early on how to cover…our deffence back then would have been ten times as good as it was.

basically what I was saying is that, in a 3-4,or
in a 4-3 under , it is way easier for our def. to confuse and hide coverages…by throwing in the nickle def. quite often.

when we watch the preseason watch for 4 down two linebackers and 3 corners or two safties…

with this formation, thrown in on early downs, confusion can erupt… flowers seems to me the ideal player as the extra back, he is way fat enough to rush in and so good at reading that he can fall out and cover , also he can roam around .

it works in 3rd and short if they add a lineman to it in a standing stance to get another big body in there. as he can slide side to side as the offence slides

I hear you mills I agree with you, I was only saying that with the better cover two defs’ out there talent makes them work.not the scheme.

Otherwise you get the cover two that cant do this or that…

the 3-4 or the 43 under both can utilise a cover two formation, and a man formation…

what makes the big difference is the overall performance…and how good the front seven are…
