Conclusion:
Just these three looks are tough to deal with because of the vertical attack routes and uderstanding that if you go man the QB turns into a runner, and if they are in zone they attack either the field or the Boundary according to the beater called to that side. And with the check with me they do alot and the route tree based play-calling Briles can make sideline adjustments to any thing he sees. He really makes the QB's job so much easier than what Chad's was doing. I think Chad's concepts caused as much confusion as it did create chances to succeed and as I eluded to in the last post the see it and take it pre-snap with our 9 reciever was so predictable teams took it away man to man and they ended up having the numbers in their favor. The reason it worked at Clemson so well is because he had Deshaun Watson that could pull it down and run when it broke down. Also, he had Deandre Hopkins, DeWayne Allen, Jaron Brown, Mike Williams and many other weapons that made it work. This style you take what you have a strength and you accentuate it. Also, our Oline coaching was so bad under Morris and our technique was always too high and poor leverage. Having Pittman and his hand selected OL coach that will change and we will get out attitude back.
Hope you enjoy this breakdown as well.

?So here is the alignment for Cover 2 read.


So here is the alignment for Cover 2 read. CB is eyeing #2 inside regardless of alignment of #2 this is his read.




??So regardless of where #2 is aligned CB has eyes on #2.
If #2 pushes vertical he stays vertical and they convert to Cover 4. If #2 goes outside then the outside Corner reads that and drops down to a cover 2 hard corner and the S stays over top and they play it as cover 2.
Now in the case of a Palms/ 2 read coverage
Now in this case they would run 2 read to the boundary and Palms to the Field (open side)
So lets look at trips to the field vs Trips
?

So here you see the Nickel Sam ($) outside leverage of #2 and the CB is inside leverage of #1 with eyes on #2. The FS is over top #3 (H) to take away any Post route. This is a version of cover 4 (Palms) so Double Posts tend to be the killer of cover 4 so the CB plays the inside leverage to take away the Post on the outside.
Nickel Sam reads #2 until he is outside release and he passes him off to the Corner and then he fits underneath any route coming back underneath. If both push vertical Nickel/Sam becomes the C gap run fitter as F takes over the vertical push. Most teams in this coverages will bump the M (Mike) outside of the tackle on in a 50 technique as to make it where the FS doesn't have to come screaming down hill as the extra run fitter.
In Palms, the coverage removes the Nickel Sam from the run fit and makes FS the run fitter. Which helps the Defense out leverage the Offense in theory. As soon as the tackle sells run block the FS comes down and becomes the force or Alley defender. Mike Jumps underneath the inside slant or the Y Slant if H pushes out wide.
So according to that alignement Briles builds in beaters to both sides according to the post snap roll.
Hope this helps explain it a little better Russellville..
