Is there a way to play a lot of man coverage without being burned by pics, and crossing routes

February 3, 2014 by Mike Dussault

Not straight-up man, but what the Seahawks do is conducive to avoiding the pics. They’ll play press zone (aka press bail) where the CBs get up on the receivers at the line, get a jam and then fall back into zone coverage.

It’s a good coverage against the Broncos, because it disrupts timing and helps your corners avoid chasing the receiver across the field. Then, when the Broncos complete a pass to someone coming across the middle, the defensive backs are sitting back in their zone and able to come downhill to drill the ball carrier.

We saw plenty of this last night and I look forward to getting in the specifics of the Seahawks coverage. But it certainly looked a lot different on those kind of play than it did vs. the Pats, where the receivers were consistently gaining the edge on those short passes.

Not Andre’s best day in the run stopping department, but he brought some pressure early. “Finishing” was about the only thing the Patriots defense did against the Redskins,
