Hey what's up everyone! morey croson here and recently I've been getting a lot of
people reaching out to me that want to talk about coverages so today I'm going to be breaking down
the Clemson Alabama national championship I'm going to start the video right now
all right so I really like doing this from this view I think this is an awesome way to be able to
really see what some of the best defenses in the entire nation actually do and someone what is some
of the best coaches are doing so we got this is gonna be a roll out here to the right uh and just
from the the top here you know in Alabama it lines up a lot of times at least in this game with this
two safety look right so right away we're thinking either some type of man cover two type concept and
based off of how the linebackers are looking you know we're definitely thinking more of a zone
type of situation just based off of you know how everybody's kind of lined up here
but then once the ball is actually snapped we do think that it ends up being a little bit more of
a man coverage and you know I guess this guy is lined up on the slot uh as well and so you know we
do as a quarterback just want to be aware of what are the potential opportunities especially as you
go higher up you could almost never you know go in and say it's going to be zoned or it's going to be
man especially at this level but a lot of times within like the high school and you know middle
school youth conferences you can go up and up with a lot more detail and understanding you could see
if a team is going to be in more of a zone look or a man look you know like 90 of the time or
something like that I would say you know like Nick Saban is one of the best defensive minds in the
entire uh nation and so he's going to really create a opportunity or an environment where
he wants to confuse the quarterback and make it so you don't really know
exactly what it is that's going on but you can see once they they get off the ball
I'm pretty certain that it's man here and you know you can see what the safeties end up doing
it ends up being like a two-man type situation and they run that three-four so it really makes it
difficult as a quarterback for you to know exactly where that fourth guy is gonna be coming from and
you can see here that ended up being that outside linebacker there and you know ended up putting a
good amount of pressure him on him out of the get-go ended up having to make a run for it and
make a play we'll go to the next one here so this one ended up being a interception and it also was
a you know looked like more of a a cover three zone type of look so we could see that
they ended up bringing an extra guy here from the top so they ended up bringing five guys
uh it could have been man and these guys could have just been playing kind of like a bracket
uh with those two slot guys um but we have one guy up over top and yeah it looks like it's probably
more of a man coverage look here and ended up getting some pressure on so they brought five
defense alignment were able to get pressure led to an interception so really i just want to give you
guys the experience of being able to see what some of these top colleges do right so now we're going
to go in this is going to be run play I'm going to quickly interrupt this video just to save you
like the information go and click that thumbs up subscribe down below and we'll hop right back into
it and so this is something that looks like it's going to be more of a man look as well so you can
see how you know it's empty and with that empty there's only one guy in the box this guy's kind
of creeping in a little bit but still you know two safeties we're thinking more cover to man in this
situation even though the guys are looking more inwards but then once they actually we actually
start to play now it looks like it's gonna be probably more of a cover two look right so
when they actually lined up probably got more of a man type situation and here you
know they could have definitely with six linemen could have audibled into some type of run play
right like this guy probably should have been a little bit more inwards because right now it's
five on six in terms of blocking right and a lot of times even if this guy would have been outward
you know spread out normally you could still run a run play in this situation so the fact that they
have you know six blockers and only five guys in the box they could definitely use this opportunity
to run I mean they passed and Jalen hurts ended up running picking up a little bit of yards but
point being I do think it would have been a great opportunity for a run play there so you want to be
aware of what's going on especially if you have audibles like that set up within the offense
it really gives you a lot of opportunity to add in some different wrinkles here
this play ends up being a zone right so this one's a really cool one because we can see they're
really trying to disguise more of a cover three look trying to be able to bring some pressure
then at the very end they go into like more of a cover 2 look here and he ended up throwing a
hitch route and the receiver ended up making a great catch and being able to haul that in because
he thought it was going to be more of a cover three they ended up going to cover two he still
threw that hitch uh which could have been a very dangerous throw uh you know if that if that corner
would have been able to to make a little better play on the actual ball just shows how good the
receivers are this year that the receivers that Alabama had were crazy they still had uh Calvin
Ridley and then they had obviously like Jerry Judy and Devonte Smith so they had a lot of really good
guys at at this time um at Alabama okay now we got a fake play action here sucks in those linebackers
and then they got more of a man and actually with all that space there probably more of a
zone type situation right so we're here they fake that underneath now the guy's got to get back to
the zone so they're in cover three here so that linebacker has to come underneath and then that
corner you know ended up being in a tough situation it's harder to tell but for sure that it
being man or if it ended up being zoned based off the camera angle but that corner definitely ended
up being in a tough situation based off what they uh they did and how they were able to to get the
corners to be able to come down on on the play there or didn't wasn't able to really have much
space to be able to work with right usually when you're in more of a man coverage or inside
to be able to prevent that slant we don't know where exactly lined up or what ended up happening
just because of the angle but definitely looked like that ended up being a tough position there
so you know i just wanted to be able to give you guys a little bit of a breakdown of some of the
top coverages and how they end up doing it you know you could go back real quick to that Alabama
stuff they they end up showing a lot of two safety looks and and you know if you can get this view
I always recommend quarterbacks looking at that that end zone view that back view just because it
gives you a better idea of what you're going to look at as a quarterback right this is going to
be more similar what you're going to be seeing as a quarterback in comparison to when you get
that side view it's not always exactly what you're going to be seeing some of these guys end up being
in you know different alignments it's hard to be able to tell exactly where they're at
but here we have a great opportunity to be able to see you know where these guys are lining up and
what they're doing off of the snap and that gives you a good again opportunity to be able to see
exactly what you're going to be you know seeing in the actual game so really cool to be able to check
this out you know i can only do 10 minutes here so I'm going to probably end up breaking this up
and do a few different videos to be able to really show and break down a couple different coverages i
know earlier on in the game they're running more cover two cover three Alabama was right here we
only got some man examples but we definitely got to get a couple zones examples from Clemson which
was cool uh and being able to see that so if you guys like this just go and let me know down in
the comments down below I could definitely make some more videos like this it's hard to find
you know a lot of videos with the sky cam but I do think it's really cool to be able to see
you know some of these defensive coverages and schemes from that back view a little bit more
advanced type stuff so if you guys are interested in that let me know down below you can also check
out the description for our end season program you guys get breakdowns we'll go over coverages we'll
go over your in-game work and everything like that and then we also have different
opportunities within like throw breakdowns throw programs get you on something that will be able
