That's a great coverage against Empty Coach. Takes away most of their passing. Here in Louisiana the Empty set gives life to the Quarterback draw.

Thanks for the upload Coach Mac, was very informative and enjoyable. I have a possible video request/question. It's about how offenses use close splits with the receivers in 2x2 formations or a bunch 3x1 with the receivers lining up inside the hash marks right next to the tackles. Seems like they like to run the mesh play and also I see lots of toss/crack since they have a good angle on the linebackers. Would there be enough information for a video about how you would line up with the 4-2-5 And 3-3 stack? Like the depth and alignment of the corners when their is lots of open space to the outside of the formation and how they should come up on a toss crack. And how they would attack with spacing concepts using the space on the outside. There are plenty more situations I'm sure you know more of and are more familiar with. Thanks Coach, if you get a chance to read this I hope your team wins next Friday night!

I can try, dont see a lot of bunch stuff

First year defensive coach thinking about going with 425. I got a question about a formation how to align an coverages behind. The formation single formation with a tight end an a wing an a receiver on the same side with a single receiver on the opposite side if you could help me out appreciate it

Coach, have you ever experimented with Nick Saban's "Check Rain" blitz? I think it was designed primarily to be used against empty. If not, do you think your guys are capable of doing that?

[@CoachMac]

I think we could do something like that vs Empty. Never did that exactly with that blitz.

[@PhillyEaglesFanatic]

Coach Mac Gotcha, thanks!

[@josephmiller38]

How do you defend an offense in I-formation with trips to the left (20 personnel)?

[@CoachMac]

Gameplan depending on what they do

[@devonewilliams2512]

Hey Coach. Would you change anything if the offensive is running double TE empty?

[@CoachMac]

Might have to make a few adjustments

[@tylormuse5035]

What would you do if they are motioning from 3x1 to empty

[@CoachMac]

If its a back motioning out we usually handle it with underneath coverage unless he resets

[@tylormuse5035]

What about doing an x out coverage against it? Man on 1 on the trips side and play palms with 2 and 3 and then play palms with the backside safety and corner to the 2 wr side

[@CoachMac]

The first coverage on the board is that concept

[@PoderosoXavao]

i thought this was math...

[@CoachMac]

To some extent it is!!!
