WombBroom posted:Zone Coverage When you hear an announcer talk about "Cover x" he's referring to the defense and how many "deep" defenders there are, or how many defensive backs there are whose responsibilities are to play zone coverage. Cover 2 for example refers to two deep defensive backs (usually the strongside safety and free safety) splitting the field into 2 halves and being responsible for any balls thrown toward their half of the field. Cover 1 refers to 1 defensive back playing deep covering the entire field and playing "center field", Cover 3 will usually refer to a third defensive back helping split the responsibilities of the coverage shell. In a pure coverage shell, all defensive backs and linebackers will be playing zone defense and not have a true "man" or person to guard. When you hear an announcer talk about "nickel" and "dime" defenses or "nickelbacks" or "dimebacks" they're not talking about lovely bands or the dead guitarist of Pantera, they're referring to a modified defense, or a "package". Example: a true sure to poo poo 4-3 defense will have 4 defensivebacks with certain responsibilities. in a "Nickel" defense, one of those linebackers or defensive lineman will sub out and a 5th defensive back or the "nickelback" will come in to help cover receivers. With as much passing as there in the NCAA and NFL, these nickelbacks are often counted on to cover receivers as much as if not more than their 4-3 base counterparts. Therefore, in the modified "Nickel" package, you'll see 4 defensive lineman, 2 linebackers, and 5 defensive backs. The dime package just adds another defensive back to help cover receivers so you'll probably see 4 lineman, 1 linebacker, and 6 defensive backs. Is there a program that helps you write up plays on line so I can draw out some sample defenses? it would also save me some time and carpal tunnel color fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jul 6, 2010 |

Quiet Feet posted:What exactly does it mean for a defense to have a 1-gap or 2-gap (or A-gap?) scheme? Something to do with plugging holes in the offensive line? gaps are denoted as such Line of Scrimmage TE-(CGap)-Tackle-(BGap)-Guard-(AGap)-Center-(AGap)-Guard-(BGap)-Tackle-(CGap)-TE Even numbers when you hear x-technique refer to a defensive lineman playing head up on an offensive lineman. Therefore, a 0 technique is a defensive lineman playing head up on a center, a 2 technique is head up on the guard, a 4 technique is head up on the tackle, and a 6 technique is head up on a TE. When you hear a "even number-I" technique, that means they're playing on the inside shoulder of the offensive lineman, or the shoulder closest to the center. Example: a 2-I technique is a defender playing on the inside shoulder of a guard. Odd numbered techniques are reserved for the outside shoulders of the offensive lineman, such as a 3 technique, which would be on the outside shoulder of the guard, or a 5 technique which is on the outside shoulder of the tackle.
