Great video coach, on my own free time (not in the coaching world at the moment but do want to one day and even then I’m under no impression it wouldn’t take years before getting a legit crack at this) I’ve been theorizing about something similar to your 3-4 adjustment here as a base where both overhangs are safety/backer types and which of the guys becomes a 4th rusher is a bit fluid (and out of base camp rules it’s the drop 7, rush 3, spy 1 of the inside backers based on post snap cue probably off of the back where the inside backer who gets the weakside cue is the spy; I’d also have an ideal for how much base/rush 4/pressures I’d wanna send and probably have one of my assistants keep track so I can know what I’m over/under calling, and what calls are working that night vs not so it’s not just guy alone). This video definitely helped me with a few questions I’d had and tweaked a couple things for me mentally on how the whole puzzle fits that made more sense the more I thought about it.

Thank You!!! You are on the right track

Coach Mac I just messaged you on Patreon about how to legally use a drone in game and provided contact information. Love the content! Long time watcher and Patreon subscriber.

Love the Nose deal, makes perfect sense!!!!

Great video as always commenting for the algorithm, wondering if you’ve seen more of the veer and shoot (Tennessee/Briles) type offenses where you’re at

[@CoachMac]

Oh yes, pain in the neck

Best adjustment to 3x1 Y Wing into the Bndy? Would like to leave Sam to Field.

[@CoachMac]

A 3 deep weak rotation will avoid having to play man on the backside. Depends on what coverages your boundary kids can play

[@kevinvolcicnorthwestcta]

Coach, you said you had no problems playing 3 high with a 4 man box against 2x2 (wr’s removed). Are you staying 3 high in this situation or are you steadfast on going 3-4 2 high because of your camp rule? Just seems if they were in this 2x2 removed and they motioned to trips it’s a simple adjustment for M/S if you stayed 3 high. What would be your adjustment?? Leave the M/S as the overhang and bump the L/S over? Thanks Coach.

[@CoachMac]

Leaning towards 3x2 box for simplicity

I need some basic review, coach. I know I know this, but I am drawing a blank and it is driving me nuts. What does the 'A' designate on the defensive line?

[@CoachMac]

Anchor for us, the 4i away from the strength

[@CoachMac]

Anchor

You also take your MLB and make him play man against the TE and then drop your M/S down and make him play MLB.

[@CoachMac]

Very old school 46 defense like

[@josephmiller38]

So…basically what you’re looking for in your M/S is a player that is a combination of a Free safety and a Strong safety. I would look for a combo player like this that can play man to man against a TE like a combo Safety(FS/SS) Linebacker.

[@CoachMac]

Agreed

[@josephmiller38]

Think about how would you defend against a 4 WR and 1 Pass catching TE in a 3 high safety world? I would sub in 4 CBs for the 4 WR. This would leave 1 MLB and 3 high safeties. Man the LB on the TE, drop down the M/S and have him play MLB. What one does with the other safeties is up to the play caller. Personally, I would split the field in half and have the Left/safety play the Left side of the field and have the Right/safety play the Right side of the field in Zone just like they would in Cover 2. But that’s just me. It is up to the play caller and it depends on the field position and the placement of the ball on the line of scrimmage with respect to the hashes, the field, and the boundaries. If 50+ yards on our side of the line of scrimmage I would run the two remaining safeties as similar to cover 2 to defend against the home run ball. The closer we get to the red zone I may think to change, and to incorporate different blitz types.
