Can you please explain Tampa 2

How can I differentiate defensive backs from linemen and line backers on TV?

[@tehbobb08]

DBs are normally outside placed on receivers, or behind the linebackers. LBs are normally immediately behind the line, or on the edge of the line (but not in a 3 point stance). Lineman will always be in the 3 point stance, hence the "down lineman" designation

What about when you have 11 db's on the field

[@DrJ262]

Love the channel, I know you are a Mississippi State guy, however....... if you broke down all The Big Alabama games you would probably get more subscribers. Just a thought, I know I would like to see it. Roll Tide !!!

davew26262 that’s how I found him originally afterAlabama v. Mississippi State Game.

Agreed. This channel has far too few Subscribers for the quality of content. KZbin .. or I should say people are a fickle thing. You have to hit the popular topics to really get the audience. So focusing heavily on Alabama would definitely pull in a faster channel growth and more views (and $$) per video. Also I notice Wyatt is likely a busy man and youtube isn't his main thing .. so there are often periods of inactivity or infrequent uploads at times which can make it tough to really grow a subscriber base/channel etc. I would put money down that if Wyatt were to upload at LEAST a weekly (better yet two videos a week) schedule .. he would 100% grow a nice audience. Within a year-18 months of at least 1-2 uploads a week (and more when you can find the time) I can see him with at least a few hundred thousand subs and it only grows exponentially from there. All of that said, I'm not a subscriber of that many channels so to earn my subscription means something (I'm a bit picky) .. and he has done that in spades! Well done Wyatt, and I just wish more success your way.

Brilliant explanation !!

5 defensive backs...nickel

[@rooties1]

thanks

[@robroberts1473]

iam a nerd so bear with me using nickel makes sense but dime doesn't I know its the next denomination but its dumb.

[@GuessTechSports]

Yeah -- Nickel and Dime aren't exactly intuitive. It goes further -- using the denominations (Nickel, Dime, Quarter, and Dollar (sometimes called money, esp. At Alabama)). Nickel = 5 Defensive Backs Dime = 6 Defensive Backs Quarter = 7 Defensive Backs and Dollar = 8 Defensive Backs It's sort of intuitive with Nickel.. 5 cents/pennies = 5 DB's. Then they just needed some sort of terminology to help players, coaches etc associate the terminology to the field. So each jump in currency unit = +1 DB. Nickel is start,.. next coin up is Dime, next coin up is a Quarter.. and I suppose you could say "Half Dollar" but Dollar is used most frequently for the 8 DB's.

Alabama won by using the spread pass option offense
