Honestly, this new age of defense is so refreshing. While in other sports offensive numbers have been off the charts, football will stay balanced.

This is arguably the golden era of defense but no one realizes it because they are looking for statistical validation that isn't possible. They have never had more rules stacked against them. In reality this past decade has been bar none the hardest it has ever been to play defense successfully; but now it has gotten to the point that defenses have embraced pure assignment coverage and are EXPOSING how poor both the Offensive play-calling and QB play are in the NFL right now.

This is why I love football. Every play is like a move in chess. The coaches constantly adjusting trying to out do the opponent with the best resources they have while opponent does the same

This is so informative. I had a lot of theories about why the NFL seemed so poor this year even with so much talent. This really makes sense, and it shows why Baltimore is so good. They actually commit to running instead of running to just keep defenses honest. These defensive looks could lead to running backs making a comeback and getting better contracts. Still, it also illustrates the absolute need for a solid O-line. Either the QB needs time or the RB needs holes.

It’s not just the schemes too. The offenses have been simplified in some ways as a carryover from college. So the one read plays, RPOs, etc. are nice, but defenses have figured out how to minimize them and make QBs work through real progressions and a lot of these guys especially the younger ones are a little slow on it

Thank you for taking the time to explain these complex meta plays. As a European NFL fan who did not grow up with watching/playing football it is exactly these videos which make watching football even more fun. I won't lie and say I got all the details and nuances but I at least got a better understanding of what goes into running a top level defense in today's football.

only a few years ago people were saying that the age of the QB would take over and point averages would rise in the NFL, but the people who said that didn't account for the fact that half the people in this sport work 60-100 hours a week to figure out how to stop offenses. it is exciting to see what the next evolution of the offense will be, and then how defense responds again.

Number 1 football content on UKposts right now

I was actually getting sick to death of all these high power offenses. It's good to see defense making a comeback

Hey dude. I never paid too much attention to football as a kid, but thanks to people like you I'm starting to "get it". Your writing, annotation, and especially editing are top-notch and easy to follow even for relative novices. Keep it up.

Last night's Texans-Colts game really showed how far defense has come. So many times the game was threatening to turn into a shootout and yet both defenses kept a relatively solid lid over things. Credit to the Colts despite that heartbreaking loss, Stroud was so close to breaking that game wide open.

Dude your videos are a blessing. I genuinely hate when those media guys just tell you how this guy sucks this year and that guy sucks this year, but they're not even remotely close to understanding why.

This is the best video I've ever seen on this topic. I've done a bunch of reading into Match Quarters stuff, but finding a video to break down most of it while also including the progression from Cover-6 is incredible. Should also be noted that, with all those rules for passing off 1s/2s/3s in Match Quarters, not only is it tough for QBs to diagnose and break down within 2.5s seconds, it's tricky for defenses to consistently do it 100% correctly every snap. Every snap the DBs and Apex defenders need to all be on the same page as far as where the 2 is going and whose assignment the 1 is etc. And it's tough to be 100% correct with this on every snap with so many rules to process instantly while reading WR releases. It's what leads to all the big busted play TDs we see from otherwise great defenses. Because it relies on all 7 coverage defenders to be on the same page mentally, and it only takes 1 guy being on the wrong page to result in a 60yd free TD. The Bengals had one of these in the Chiefs game last week, when they gave up the 61yder to Rice late in the 3rd Q. They lined up in a Cover-3 look but blitzed the weak side Apex and dropped a DE, and dropped into a Tampa-2 coverage. The only problem is, despite the other 6 coverage defenders getting their jobs right it only took the 1 safety to mess up his assignment. The Tampa-2 disguise involved the strong side CB to drop into a deep half zone, with the FS rolling left into the other deep half and the weak side CB in a cloud flat coverage. But that FS instead was assuming the opposite - that the weak side CB would drop deep and the strong side CB would stay in the cloud flat, and he rolled to his right instead. This left the weak side cloud flat CB with ZERO over the top help on a deep route after he bumped the WR at the LOS. At first glance it looks like the CB's fault for allowing the deep ball, but film review shows it was instead the safety who blew is assignment. This wasn't a Match Quarters look, but it's this kind of stuff that happens in those Match Quarters defenses that allow big plays. It only takes 1 out of 7 guys effing up their assignment to blow the entire play. Defenses need to be intelligent and play with great chemistry and communication. You can't have any "dumb" players in these systems. The entire point of these defenses (and that Vikings Cover-0) is to be able to always have enough defenders to match vertical routes, while converting underneath (or blitzing) if their guy doesn't go vertical. These Match Quarters defenses can play like a straight Cover-2, Cover-3, or Cover-4 depending on how the WRs release. They can wind up looking like straight Man or basic Cover-2. The intention is for defenders to quickly read routes and be able to play vertical or underneath, wherever they are needed, instead of basic zones that are static and only guard grass until a WR runs through. And as mentioned in the video you also need a lot of team speed especially with the Apex defenders to be able to close down on stuff in the flats. If the goal is to play Off and have as many as 4 guys play over the top, there's going to be gaping holes underneath and especially the flats. That is the weakness of Cover-4 after all. So you better have the team speed and tackling to close on those routes and shut them down to avoid giving up chunks to the flats. I've also watched quite a bit of tape on the Vikings defense as the Bengals just played them too. As mentioned their defense is just a different flavor of the Match Quarters. They line up with 4 guys in Off coverage, and all 4 can be over the top of Verticals just like Quarters. But instead of lining up any help underneath, they just blitz everyone to force a free rusher and shorten the QBs timer. Can't get beat deep if the QB only has 1.5 seconds to throw and then the 4 DBs can sit on and jump underneath stuff. Plus as mentioned they can drop into literally ANY coverage from that Zero look. Whether it's just rat defenders underneath to help with crossers, or into full-blown Tampa-2, as a QB you literally have no clue what you're going to get on any snap. They line up in that Punt Block look with 8 guys on the LOS and can drop into anything, but you also know you might only have 1.5 seconds to figure it out. And that's what makes these defenses truly tough to decipher within 2-3 seconds. Because even as complicated as they are, all defenses are based on "rules", even complicated ones like Match Quarters. So if you know those rules you know how to send out route patterns to poke holes in it. But all the defense has to do is throw in some basic Cover-6 or Tampa-2 where those rules are flipped on their head and it totally throws off the QB. Again, excellent video. I've been a subscriber for a while - this is one of your best vids IMO. Also I fully agree with having an entirely separate video break down how to run against these Match Quarters looks, especially with the Counter.

The same thing happens in Soccer - you get a few years of Defensive dominance but then a new breed of players and coach styles come along then you have Offensive dominance until the D learns how to counteract that. And so on... Obviously the information process speeds up so now the turnover is monthly or even weekly or actually in-game.

Return of the running game and under center offenses. I like it.

Also gotta add that while the injuries for QB1s mount, teams aren't really putting capable replacements behind them either. It took the Browns till December to find Joe Flacco after playing DTR and PJ Walker after Watson officially went out. Many teams are playing younger guys hoping to discover a value QB1/QB2 from the day 3 draft they got. But in reality they aren't ready for these exotic post snap looks especially if the offense gets put on a early pass script. Especially with no working run game to break at the defense playing soft on the box. But also good point on how many of the young guys on defense coming up in the league now have been seeing shotgun RPO stuff since their youth. Some of these QBs are more comfy playing that and if they aren't ready to make the right read post snap on an opportunistic defense, they are getting their bell rung.

Very nice. I've called 2023 the "return of D" for the NFL. This is the most thorough and clear description of modern defensive concepts that I have seen. It's a great primer for folks that like to watch all of the QB debrief videos out there.

Nice video, I love it! As a Spaniard, I have never experienced the game from the inside, so these videos help me a lot, as they offer a clear explanation of advanced concepts such as pattern match schemes.

This reminds me of what Ray Lewis said one time in an interview when he said the game will always take care of itself. While rules have made it hard for defenses to play the hard hitting ways of the past eventually schemes become designed and with the right personnel you can still have lockdown play w/o taking people’s heads off

Excellent video and explanation. That’s exactly why Eagles fans are screaming to run the ball! Sirianni is enamored with the “explosive” plays and you have given a master class on why he’s failing on offense. Our defense doesn’t communicate well and with so many new defensive players they don’t always know their assignments. In addition to that, they often tackle on the level of first year pee wee players. Baltimore and San Francisco are looking more like they understand the the concepts that you described. Well done video, it was interesting, informative and entertaining.

I’ve been watching more of the defensive side of the ball this year. These defenses are organized chaos and fun to watch

Run the ball and more plays from under center - as an Eagles fan, I felt that. Goddamn every play being out of shotgun. Great video man 👍

One of the best video essays I've seen... on any topic. And I'm not even a big pro football guy. Well done, completely absorbing and comprehensive script + clips + illustrations. This was awesome!!!

I love these videos. As a football junky its hard not to love the way defenses have really seemed to have a leg up this year in certain situations. Keep up the great work. Your content is awesome.

One of my favorite videos of yours! Great breakdown and awesome insight as always.

This is why having a great receiving TE and RB is so important today.

Man, i just found your channel. I learned a ton just from this short video. I love tempo were you explain things fast so I can choose to rewind if I didn't understand the first time. I really don't like videos that drag on too long.

It's great listening to you go through these coverages and options.

Thx for the great vid. There is too much shotgun formation on early downs. Teams don’t run the ball well enough. Run blocking is an art. The qb needs to be under center more.

Excellent breakdown. Really excellent. And peripherally, a window into the struggles of the Jaguars and Eagles offenses seemingly in particular -- nothing under center, slow developing bubble screens, and a lack of physicality in/dedication to the inside run game. And of course, in the Jaguars case, a hobbled QB for half the year. You could watch this plus Kollman's critique of the Eagles' issues and have all you'd really need to understand what happened this year. Awesome job man.

This is really great content! Very informative diagrams and nice to see the evolution laid out

This is why scrambling QBs are so good. Even the best coverage guys struggle when the qb makes his own time and everything breaks down to a scramble drill

Thank you for talking about this; all season long I've been hearing people whining about how "offense is down, offenses are worse" and every time I reply, usually to someone unwilling to listen, that it's not that offenses are worse, it's that defenses are finally, *finally*, at long last, catching back up to offenses and adjusting to the way the game is played now, whether that's accounting for rules that have previously made defenders' jobs harder, to figuring out counters to an explosion in offensive variety over the last decade or two. This was always going to happen sooner or later, and I hope the NFL doesn't panic and slap down another suite of rule changes to "stimulate offense." Defenses being able to keep up and gum up offenses is a good thing. If I wanted to see endless rounds of scoring, I'd watch basketball.

Good video. In the context of having watched the NFL since the early 80s, you can see one of the few overall reversals of fortune for defense league wide in the last 25 years. If it wasn't for a ton of ambiguous illegal contact, holding, and the various roughing penalties, this would be even more pronounced. I'm convinced that illegal contact could be called on 80 percent of all passing downs in the NFL. The rule book is really hurting the league. Too many judgement calls not enforced uniformly. Injuries continue to mystify me though... The game is suffering a great deal more injuries than ever before and yet it's not as brutal as it was in the past. Over training muscles to the determent of ligaments/tendons? Maybe...

This is so cool. Great breakdown and insights. This definitely enhances the experience for a enthusiast of the game. Also I think it's funny because the pattern matching terms like "box" and "triangle" covers. Like wait which box? No the other box! Good times.

This is a GREAT breakdown. Reminds me of Ravens / Michigan 2021-present - just smothers and picks apart high octane offenses. “Bend not break” turns into just complete dominance.

I’m emailing this video to joe Barry

IMO this channel provides the best analysis and delivery of that info on UKposts

I am a first-year NFL fan (go Browns!) and your video helped me so much! Now I understand this offence-defence dynamics much better and even get some nuances in defensive tactics

The point about the NFL (and Football in general) being cyclical is really on-point. I remember watching a PFF video floating the idea that establishing the run was unnecessary because the analytics said that the expected outcome of run plays was so much lower than passing plays. Of course, I'm not going to hold the PFF guys to every take they make, but that one was particularly bad because it ignored the role of counter-play in Football strategy. The very existence of a run game makes your pass game better by making the defense consider more lines of attack when drawing up plays. What this defense shows is that if the league as a whole prioritizes passing for too long, eventually defenses will not only give up scheming the run, they'll also start filling their rosters with linebackers and edge players that are fast and agile enough to be able to cover receivers, punishing the pass even more. In previous decades, these schemes would be hard to pull off, as you had the linebackers like Derrick Thomas who were 20-30lbs heavier than ones today. Not to mention the shift from pure Defensive Ends to Edge Rushers who can drop into coverage.

Love this video, defence is my favourite part of football and I feel never gets enough attention as offence. I find football gets boring when teams just run up and down the field with no resistance and the scores are 45-42. It’s nice to see the defences getting the edge again after all the rule changes to benefit offence like rouging the passer and pass interference.

Great video. The combination of the slick editing and the smooth script delivery make for a really great viewing experience.

Just found this channel, instant subscriber! This is great stuff. Thank you for such good breakdowns.

Just glad Cover 4/6 is getting more usage again. Game is pass heavy now, which also means more running lanes for RBs. However RBs aren’t being use the same way like they used to be.

Thank you. Brilliant presentation, as usual. Now I understand why the Mahomes-Kelce act has become suddenly so sterile, allowing Pacheco to emerge as their Nr 1 weapon. A lot is said about the Chiefs deficient WRs, but at the same time I see why Mahomes has been looking hesitant and confused so often this season, like a man coming back to his hometown and not recognizing his surroundings (same for Burrow before his injury, btw). Happy and prosperous NY to you all.

Absolutely insane how good this video is, great work man

Wow! This was an AMAZING input!! Thanks for sharing.

This is some very in-depth analysis my man. I love how you highlighted what has changed and been adapted to across the league. You gained a subscriber!

Could getting bigger and stronger help offenses counter these defenses? Perhaps lining up with two Fullbacks and two TEs to dominate the shallow middle of the field?

I loved seeing how simply you were able to break down these complex defensive responsibilities. Watching modern defenses fly around can be dizzying to try and comprehend.

Thanks for good coverage of the current defensive meta. The counter to pattern matching zone is pre- and post-snap motion, lots of motion. That makes the defensive reads much harder. Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan are the major proponents of this, along with others in Kyle's coaching tree like Sean McVay.

More of a college football guy but I love these vids, very informative and easy to watch and still applicable to all levels of football

Below average QB’s are part of why offences are struggling. At least half of the NFL teams have a QB2 or QB3 as their QB1.

Excellent video! I hope you get a chance to take a look at the Rose Bowl film here as I think we saw some things from both Michigan in the natty run as well as out of Ben Johnson in Detroit and Kyle Shanahan in the Super Bowl that are going to play heavily in leading the next evolution in football. Not only is it the ability to heavily run the ball, but in using pattern-match systems against themselves to clear out short routes over the middle, especially when using big personnel sets to generate switch releases in places defenses are not expecting to have to handle them.

This video is just too, too good. Fascinating stuff. Keep it coming!!

Ravens looks pretty good at this defense thing

Sir, this is too informative and detailed, EA's head will exploded trying to implant this at any point in Madden. Seriously though, this is extremely detailed info

Love the content. Learned so much from your channel. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video, well research and spoken. Keep it up!

Is this trend why mobile QBs have become so valuable? Having a quarterback who can run or scramble well on top of the other elite traits can nullify some of the strengths modern defenses have, as a mobile QB can run for yards, or find open spots if they plan with receivers to redirect to now open spots.

I think the lack of quality QBs is also a big problem. I don’t remember watching the NFL and seeing so many below average guys. I’m not just talking about backups. Even the QB1 on a lot of teams suck. Brady was right about the lack of player development and poor coaching

Really really really good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

What helped me understand pattern match is help-side defensive or switching in Basketball, but a lot harder when dudes run sub 4.5s and there's lots of open grass

Good analysis. I don't see this as a problem. The NFL has tilted the rules in favor of the offense for years. It should not surprise anyone that the defenses have adapted. Add to that the large amount of starting QBs that have missed games and it only makes the problem worse. It's such a QB dependent league now, you have seen the results when backups get into games. There is a reason they are backups. Offences have to adapt as well. Maybe that means changing how they do things and forcing the defenses to adapt to them rather than the other way around.

One result of offenses falling in love so much with "mobile" QBs and adopting so much college game in spread, RPOs, QB runs, etc. is a massive decline in top tier QB play, a lot of QBs who read their primary and bail the pocket. The advantage of old school, under center pro style offenses is they have a constant supply of answers as the play develops, with a talented QB able to work through his reads in 2.5 seconds and reset with receivers coming open late but still in structure. The option game leaves a lot of dead routes if the initial option is closed off, receivers with no plan but scramble drill. QB play is at the lowest level of the past 25+ years and QBs aren't developing the skills they need to carve up these defenses.

Just found this channel. Excellent content!!

I fell in love with the NFL because of great defenses and seeing your analysis just makes me love it even more 😊

This is why the Giants did well last year. They ran the foot ball and Danny Pennies loves check downs and since no one could get open it worked.

Vikings' defense has been legit. If only Cousins and JJ had been healthy the whole season.

Just found this and I find it so interesting. Great video!

First video of yours, appreciate the detailed full view break down of the plays.

Vic Fangio and Brian Flores singlehandedly saving every defensive coordinator's job this year

Funnny enough, this Madden gamer tends to call Cover 0 the least.

Really good stuff here. Thank ya sir.

Makes me think of a few years ago when offenses starting using motion just about every play to pick up whether the defense was in man or zone and use that advantage. The game has a lot of ebb and flow of offensive and defensive scheming. Quarterbacks started getting more mobile, defenses got faster with edge rushers. Love to see it

This video came in my recommended yesterday. Subscribed! Great content!

Love your educational content! Awesome shit brother.

This just upped my Madden skills a long way, coming from the UK, this is tactical gold most commentators think you know this stuff already.

Outstanding video. Thanks for the content!

Amazing breakdown showcasing what the best defenses are doing and the perfect highlight to how the league has addressed the "always in shotgun" offenses. Every offense that has shown up gets a year or two before defenses catch on, but the offense is already committed to a style of play based on the weapons and QB. The interesting part will be finding QB's who can actually play well under center, as it seems colleges are running more shotgun than ever. You have also highlighted the largest change in team personnel since the, almost completely, removal of the FB. I formation is rare outside of goal line or 3TE looks and you do not even see the older west coast style Near and Far offsets anymore. I wonder when someone will pull out the old Bill Walsh west coast near/far/offset I and implement it to circle the league back around and confuse/negate these types coverages. Closest thing to a throwback I formation was Baltimore with young Lamar, grinding yards and wearing down teams. Great breakdown OP.

I’ve been watching football for years. Honestly, I never really picked up on all these cues. Thanks for breaking them down. It really makes the game that much more interesting.

Awesome video. I notice the video itself is a good metric for success this year. You see a lot of the Baltimore and SF defenses, but almost none of their offenses.

Bro you crushed this video. I've been a football fan for years, LOVE the game, but I've never seen coverage broken down like this.

The absolute best breakdown I've seen in years!!!

This is exactly how I feel this year. Sure you have some anomalies (Dolphins/Broncos) but something felt off this season and I couldn't put my finger on. Good video.

what a great video. thanks for making it, I learned so much

I’m a go player in addition to a big football fan (look up go game or go baduk game if you don’t know what that is) and it’s always cool to see how this beautiful carousel of offensive and defensive technique (and strategy) shift with what’s in fashion, and develop on a small delay that has to do with what players have seen in the context of the tactics and strategies employed during their upbringing in the sport

I just found your channel, a very brilliant take on the game. I'm old school, never played football, so devised my own names etc. This was very easy to following along with, if one just focuses a bit, and I agree with much of what you said, save a couple things. I think the exploit, of which is basically the old Walsh west coast defense, (quick snap, quick hit, take what they give you), is even more dangerous that you mentioned. Have you seen these... what I call, "pocket" plays- where receivers and TE's are totally alone, with 3 defenders around, PAST first down markers, if short plays? I've NO idea wtf that is, but I've seen monster plays develop out of them... then the converse- where these guys have gotten so good at coverage, they are RIGHT THERE, and yet we're seeing some pin-point accuracy,.. and it HAS to be, or it's 6 the other way. You helped explain some of this, and maybe I'm just catching some of the games where this is more prevailant that others.. but those "pocket" plays are gonna lead to some big things if they don't tighten those up. Then there's my main pissing point about the NFL circa 2010's & on- The "Running QB". Sure, there's some times where a QB will need to run- but these used to be a rarity. The NFL got the wild hair up their ass that the league would be SO much better, with running QBs. I called BS back then, (and even earlier- they just weren't pushing it like they began to), and I call BS now. If people focus on the yes on some of these guys, they're NOT just scanning and checking down.. they're LOOKING FOR RUNNING LANES. Now, they may be more advanced these days- but they're not THAT advanced. Great, they get the first down. Fine. Great, they get a big run. Wonderful- crowds cheering... et al. SO WHAT. Football IS, has always BEEN, and will always BE, a TEAM SPORT. Running QBs, ALL of them, develop what I call the "Hero Complex". Do you know how many games have been LOST- even though the QB has 150 damn yards rushing, by these types of people? QB's are LEADERS first & foremost. They GUIDE their teams, they're NOT running backs, even though they can run. They are the generals on the battlefield. They MUST be thinking constantly, about EVERYONE ELSE, NEVER themselves. THIS is what makes GREAT QB's. LEGENDARY QBs. Not "Running QB's... But the NFL wants that so desperately? I believe several of these defensive schemes? Have been created to specifically CAUSE QB's to run. To CAUSE the "Hero Complex" to take over? To through teams off their games. It may not always work? But it works enough. Who ever thought we'd see Mahomes going ballistic? I thought the guy composed for the most part- but when the drops begin? We've all seen what he does, takes off running. Most of them do now. And what happens when your general isn't leading his troops, but is showing off on the front lines? People are getting HURT. Running QB's get hurt. Because football is a TEAM SPORT. These players are each given a specific position for a reason, and they're professionally trained to EXCEL THERE. Running QB's might be fine for college- home of "anything goes". It's college. There's not NFL money/pressure on the line. I think if more QB's did their LEADERSHIP ROLE as it's meant to be played, run that "West Coast"? They'll smoke these new defenses, just as often as they can shut them down on the longer side of things. They change dis, dat, and de odder ting, in order to PROTECT QB's and players... what happens? MORE get injured. Because they're not playing all-out. They're pulling punches, and many times get penalized for doing so, because these Refs are NOT super human, they cannot see at super-high speed, how they guy rolled his back to NOT lead with his shoulder up on, as in that Pittsburg game a couple weeks back. And I've this sick feeling the officiating system is broken as well. There are still a few good ones. But NOT enough. Sorry to drop so many words on my first post- but venting had to be done. Feel free to rip it all apart- I love discussion and debate.. because, uh, I'm an American, it's what we do, and why we EXCEL.

I think this is one of your best videos! I wish you did a couple of those coverages in an all-22 look and slowed down, maybe draw an arrow. It's kind of hard to decipher what I should be looking at. Props to the QBs! I also didn't know what "deliver" meant or why that's different than passing off a player to the safety (deliver just means to linebacker instead?)

Aw man you giving away the game. I remember I used to run cover 6 ALL the time when I used to play madden online because comparatively to cover 3 it's like the difference between looking through a clear class of water(cover 3) and looking through a glass of milk. It looks similar but it operates on different principles and responsibilities that most casual football players don't take the time to learn. Especially with the defensive adjustments you can make to your front 7 and secondary, and usering the mike, it gets really ugly when you run into people who's only gameplan is air it out, which is most of the madden community. Great video. The cover 0 was something I hadn't payed much attention to but great breakdown on why it's so effective at stifling modern offenses. I'll be looking out for that next season.

Great job! Very interesting. Yeah, I wish teams would run more! Thanks.

It's a fascinating Chess match. The answer is to go more run heavy, bringing back the "2 Back" back field. Pro and I formations. Hell, you could even go Power I with 3 backs to help block those LBs reading run. Of course that will create a new defensive scheme to try to counter the new offensive approach. This back and forth of Defensive and Offensive schemes has been going on in the NFL for decades. Great video!!!

shared this in texans blog i frequent, quality stuff right here tip of the hat good sir

Just discovered your channel and I am liking what I am seeing. One suggestion is to add numbers to your video. How often are these defensive schemes being used in a game? How effective are these new defensive strategies?

Pattern matching was always an essential part of split-field coverages. Quarters is just the first defensive coverage built from the ground up on pattern-match principles.

Amazing analysis and simple explanations for most football fans to understand!

Wow, I have never hit a subscribe button so fast. This is phenomenal.

What an amazing video: clear, concise and entertaining!!!

Dude I feel like I'm in college, in my microeconomics class. Love the video!
