    i tell corners in the boundarey to even take an inside alignment on 1 to not get caught up in noman's land...also gotta be cognizant of will's gap and his coverage assignment. it's hard for will to play A gap but work towards #2 when #2 is pretty wide. idk...4-2-5 can be hard on the weak side

    CB will cap the Slant while the Ni pushes with the RB to the flat. It will end up playing similarly to Qtrs. Try not to get DBs on RBs.

    Hey Cody, in Meg quarters, if you get Post out of #1 and Wheel from #2, does your overhang carry the wheel? And the safety is post control?

  • @MatchQuarters

    @MatchQuarters

    CB has ALL of #1. In MEG, the Safety is responsible for #2 out, so he would have to roll with the Wheel. Overhang is a Wall-2 player. If it is a rub wheel, you might be able to get a switch call in.

    What if the back is in pistol formation? How does this affect the Sam's alignment to the field? How does it affect who the Mike alerts for the push?

  • @MatchQuarters

    @MatchQuarters

    11 ай бұрын

    Typically against a Pistol team, the overhangs are playing the face of the QB. Open to me = Hold, open away = fit. The Mike & the Sam can work off that system together. A base way of playing a Pistol team that will push their RB is to keep the Sam in a full cover down to the field. Plus, the RB is already so far behind the LOS, you can be late to the push because of the negative route.
