Is Jalyx Hunt secretly the best Quarter Flat technique in the NFL? The reroute of initial #2 and relating to the final #2 is good shit.

Look at the route distribution to the boundary and how they're just compressing the space of the 3 routes using 4 defenders playing with perfect depth and leverage maintenance. This is the essence of a Vic Fangio split safety coverage — play 4-over-3 to the side #3 releases to, distribute the dirty bunch using zone principles to keep all the routes caged in and just suffocate the concept.

The Eagles certainly loved their marine concepts on Drive #4. 3 different variations — Fish (Guppie), Bass, and Ocean — of the same inside-out LB squeeze read, all work about as well as you’d expect. I have my own diagrams of these with the reads laid out for Covers 1-5, FZ, and 3x1 concepts but can’t get them to load.

One of the prettiest walk-off TDs you’ll ever see. Deep Post off of inside zone action and the CB has no help at all deep. Perfect call by Johnson, better execution by Williams and Moore.

Minter’s Bandit (Cover 0 w/ 2 droppers from the LOS). Very effective with the way the droppers sell their rush before dropping into the hot windows.

Finally got around to updating and detailing the coverage library within the specific families. I would’ve given anything to have this resource when I was looking to study every single coverage concept I could find, so hopefully the decade-plus collecting and the many hours put into organizing it pays off for someone else. **Side note: please make sure your email is included or that you DM it to me so that there’s minimal waiting time while I set you up.

This should look great on film. Leonard stemming to this front to run Needle Bandit is awesome. You can smell the Baltimore/Seattle (Macdonald era) influence from across the country.

The downside of new teams building a system from foundations I like is watching more snaps to start the week, but beggars can’t be choosers and I can’t complain about that. I’ve been a Rob Leonard fan as a position coach and I think he’ll do well for himself as a DC. The Raiders probably call this Pack (QQH), and they zone off this Snug/Stack formation really well with what Minter calls “Buddy” (true 1/4’s). Nice Quarter Flat drop from #3 to let the ball bring him back down rather than the route.

If anyone is looking to bathe themselves in tons and tons of quality Quarters coverage material, I’ve got you covered — thousands of pages gathered from hundreds of resources I’ve been accumulating for 20 years. It’s exactly how I learned the detail of all the various Quarters mechanisms used over the past 40+ years, and this isn’t even accounting for all the various adjustments to formation structures.

Duo is such a satisfying concept to watch when executed well.

I just added some new stuff to the private drive that I think is cool. The video shows my coverage tools folder with new coverage resources I just uploaded.

The more I watch the film, the more I actually feel bad for Drake Maye. This is sending your kid into a gun fight with a slingshot. Seattle re-invests their coverage resources mid-snap maybe better than anyone I’ve seen, so they basically end up 6-over-3 in coverage with the backside Safety & CB both getting involved.

This is one reason why I am such a proponent on motioning into & out of stacks/bunches. It forces the defense to communicate to stay synchronized in their route distribution. I credit the offensive scheme more here for causing the bust where the exchange isn’t zoned off, but the communication needs to be better. It’s a prerequisite of playing match coverage principles to know when you have to zone off an exchange threat or not, and one Fangio defenses typically excel with.

I’m biased, but I would’ve killed for something like this when I was trying to learn offensive intent or putting together my own system. The 2019 Eagles material is invaluable for that. Highly recommended to anyone in the drive.

Cooper DeJean is already one of the best defenders in the league. He’s incredible.

Joe Brady is using man-beater concepts better than anyone right now. His mesh/pivot family and Shallow Cross family concepts are incredibly impressive, but the way he presents them is what really takes it over the top. The use of formations, alignments, and movement to create advantageous spacing, leverage, and matchups is right up there with the best I've seen.

Some classic Jim Johnson coverage cutups of Houston (3 Cloud) and Vegas (Quarter-Quarter-Inverted Half).
