Some are my man is better than yours and we're going to man up on the outside the majority of the day Sean's coverages in the back end even one play call... Can have 3 4 5 different variations that could happen depending on the offensive personnel or alignment and route combination The boundary corners are working with the safeties and the slot with on the action coverages... It could be quarters that turns man... But only on an outbreaking route from a boundary receiver It could be cover three that turns into cover one... If all the receivers go vertical The boundary corner might pick up the slot receiver based on the release I don't want to say he's under preparing cuz I don't know the kid and I want him to be the best he could be.. and I certainly don't think he's horrible... In a game that's as fast as the NFL and Sean's defense could mold on the fly to plays.. you either learn to react really good to it or you dont... It's as much a mental position for McDermott's defense as it is physical And that's not how it is everywhere... Even before Buffalo.. McDermott's corner protege was Josh Norman another smart heady corner not super fast It's about the brain Thanks for this @Buffalo716 Let me ask: Is this why some elite QBs (like Mahomes) sometimes have good games against us? Here's what I'm thinking... A smart QB with good coaching will decipher all of McD's complicated stuff and know where to throw. At the point, it isn't about X's and O's anymore so much as it is about execution. And, athletically, the other teams sometimes have advantages/mismatches since our DBs are heady but not necessarily Olympic athletes. Our advantage is we disguise coverage well and confuse QBs with a zone that morphis into man (or vice versa) and so on. Take away that advantage (i.e. the QB isn't confused) and we're vulnerable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because McDermott is predictable to good OC's. See the Baltimore game where they flat out used our DL approach against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard Tom Brady say it once... What Sean McDermott does pre-snap and in the first couple moments of a play are very high level There's a lot of moving pieces that can confuse a quarterback and offense But nothing's bulletproof... If you're starting in a disguised coverage that means technically your guys are not in the right spot at the snap... Which means if you can diagnose that there is somebody out of position you can get the ball to that spot Showing a cover three shell and backing into a deep two safety look at the snap can be confusing if you time it perfectly.. if you notice it , well there's a safety out of position at the snap Playing a zone match defense also has a lot of advantages for matching patterns but yea, if you can't get the quarterback to hold or pat the ball an extra time or two its not doing what it's intended 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
