He was a JROTC Cadet. I would assume he was probably their age or maybe a year or two older.

Either way they were all minors. So I’m sure nothing crazy happened legally.

I'm aware he was a kid still no justification for that. I was thinking that boy needed some physical justice.

I'm not commenting on Burrell's play but Pruitt was asked about WB and said we were in cover 3 so he was suggesting that WB was doing what he has been taught. As I understand it Cover 3 is dividing the deep field between 3 DBs and the 2 corners are apparently supposed to be lined up deeper than the LBs. I hear people all the time say why is he so far off of the receivers. I've heard it for years and with different staffs. The reason most if not all the time is when they are in that alignment it's because that's the play call for the defense.,

So why were we in cover 3 in the first place. I think we were in nickel and we wanted both the Star and the SS for run support. jmo.

My biggest problem with all of it is why don't you have everyone back. 17 seconds or whatever and we hardly had anyone back. That is literally the only time I can see it being ok to use the prevent defense and we didnt use it.

I know this was probably dicussed earler in yhe week, but I just listed to podcast of Hooker on 104.5 dicussing. Premise would make sense as to why Phil put the kibosh on hiring Leach instead hiring a first time HC with a r edp as great revruiter.

So in this play we were playing Cover 3 “Buzz”. A lot of teams play this in long passing downs because you disguise your 3 deep in different ways and get turnovers but you need really good safeties to do this. Seattle made a living off this particular coverage during their legion of boom era with kam&earl on the back end.

This is what we come out in on the final 3rd down, which i have no problem with.. very common coverage for this situation. Here is the alignment and roles that should have taken place. Buzz safety is intended to stay around the sticks and key on the check down and keep him from the first down.

So the outside CBs are playing bail coverage. where their biggest responsibility is no one get behind you. Mistake #1. Most teams Jam the WRs at the line (or at least attempt to reroute if playing off) bc their expecting them to go vertical so it delays the play (hopefully pass rush gets there)... we should have jammed here and not give outside WRs free release when warrior (FS) is only covering the middle 1/3 of the field.

Mistake #2. 26 slot corner is playing curl/flat coverage. Any vertical routes HAVE to be disrupted/rerouted to help the FS and outside CB. By not re-routing the inside seem route... it made alontae have to cover 2 people in the back outside 1/3 and since we didn’t jam and gave the WRs a free release...Nigel couldn’t get there in time.

26 should not be floating back on his heels. As soon as his man is going vertical he needs reroute his man first and then he can go into his curl/flat combo.

The RB on this play is coming to sit down in the middle to dump too and run to the first down. This was the buzz man. If he catches the ball he can come downhill and deliver a blow to keep him from the sticks.

Long story short... the call was fine. 95% of the time that ball either goes to the RB and the buzz makes a tackle or the QB is making (imo) the toughest throw in football where even if your WR gets behind the CB playing Jam then bail coverage. He has to to throw a semi floating bullet that has enough arc to get over the corner but not too much to where the safety has time to get there.

Four verticals or Single side double verts is the most common call against this coverage. In a long passing down. Which is what they ran on the top side.
