Alright defensive coverage guys. What coverage is this? Were mistakes made? Unique way of handing WR short motion?

Looks like cover 9 (2 to strong side, 4 to weak side with poach) but with the outside corner just manning up the WR in motion and nickel becoming a cloud corner?

This looks like Stubbie to me Outside Man is MEG so stays with the motion - Triangle over the 2 n 3, backside locked in man with the safety poaching.

Seems to me like Pound. Stubbie w/ a backside Trixie. I know the Raiders DC is from the Baltimore Tree. @TheHonestNFL might know better.

How does one fumble not get advanced (by the goal line) and one does get advanced (this one)?

It was an incomplete pass as called by the TV ref. Should have been 4th 7-so refs made a mistake that put the Chargers in the 4th and 1

Man component to the boundary with cover two rules to the field. Field/zone Defenders stick on any motion while boundary safety shows half coverage and robs any deep crossers. Take flats/curl away to the field and lock the boundary. Great 2 shell coverage on 3rd and 7.

My initial read was Stubbie.

C4 Palms? Outside corners in MEG, Backside safety free to help on crosser. No mistake but great individual effort by WR to get friendly in a scramble drill. Pure guess on my part.

Palms with a MEG call for Zeek. Backside is on an island

Looks like field corner is MEG on 1. Rest of the field defenders are playing Palms on 2/3. Backside looks like some type of Cone concept. 1 is out so boundary safety poaches 3-across. Could be named many things. Basically it’s a split field coverage concept out of their Match System.

I’ve seen a cover 4 variation where corners are man, LB man on the RB, and the nickel and safeties are playing quarters. Called 4 Erase. Not super common for sure.

Should be a zone/man concept for both outside CBs, the field CB has to follow his WR. It leaves Johnson on the open field where the Chargers made some damage during the game.
