This my personal guess. People will be in a tizzy all spring long about the 335. And then, when they see the spring game, they're going to be like...hey...this looks like a 4-3, or possibly a 425 if the defense is in one high.

I just want to see what coverages they run. What is their base coverage? Are they quarters based? Are they some form of 2. Do they base out of Cov 3 or Cov 1?

I'm going to guess they have a MOFO primary coverage, and then a MOFC primary coverage. Maybe 4 & 1 would be my guess. After that, the question will be, how much 0 coverage do they employ? If they employ 1 what are they doing with the rat? Then finally, what is their fire zone coverage? Are they MOFO or MOFC. I'd imagine it's MOFC, but dudes like Narduzzi are pretty famous...and tight lipped about their MOFO fire zone.
Is there an English version of this for dummies like me?……..🤔

Sure....

Most people are losing their minds about this 335 by Tony White. I think what you'll see is something that looks close to traditional to a 4-3 look. But one that moves quite a bit post-snap.

I'm interested in their Coverage. What is their base?
Are they Quarters? - MOFO - Middle of the Field Open = 2 high safeties, 4 Deep Zone w/ 3 Underneath - probably pattern match/match routes
Are they some form of 2 - MOFO - 2 Deep Zones w/ 5 underneath - probably pattern match/match routes
Are they Cover 3? - MOFC - Middle of the Field Closed = 1 high safety, 3 Deep Zone w/ 4 underneath - possibly pattern match/match routes
Are they Cover 1? - MOFC - Man to Man with 1 Zone player - either a low or high rat = zone player - robs in breaking routes. Can also use rat player or other players to double cover/bracket dudes in Cov 1.

I think most modern defenses carry both a MOFO and MOFC coverage concept. Seems most teams utilize Quarters & Cov 1 because of the RPO world and ability to take it away using those.

Next question, how much 0 coverage do they use? Meaning, no high safeties. They're sending at least 6 blitzers or they're bracketing 2 dudes. Or possibly sending 7 and playing peel with their edge blitzers - peel is, if a RB releases, you coverage him to your side, "peel off"

If they do run Cov 1 - How are they playing their rat = zone player. What's his job? Low hole = zone shallow crosser, High Hole = Post defense

Finally, their fire zone coverage - When they are sending 5 guys...Are they playing a MOFC coverage - like 3 Deep/3 Under or like Narduzzi who plays 2 deep and 4 under.

Ya know…….I’m an old fucker but I really would like to understand all of this. The different names, the language, the schemes, the placements, the down & distance decisions, etc., etc……..thank you for this.

Can you meet me sometime in the off-season at a bar in Hebron? Please bring a new yellow legal pad and be prepared to draw lots of pictures. I’ll cover the cost of all the beer and food, pay you a reasonable tutoring fee and cover the cost of the Uber to get you home safely.

😎👍🌽🏈🇺🇸

I'd like to join something like this, but I live in Michigan. How about webinar? We could all pay a fee digitally for attending.

Never felt more football dumb in my entire life!

Does this mean the other team might punt more than 1-2 times a game going forward?

This generation of player, of young people, is under so much pressure. You drop one pass and you can become a meme pretty quickly, so there's a lot of pressure. We're trying to reduce the idea of good and bad."
We have an incredible coach. Reduce the idea of good and bad. Incredibly important. This is the stuff that gets me jacked to have Rhule. He gets it.

Before you shell out all kinds of money for transportation and "entertainment expenses", let's do a quick test to see how much of this will "stick", shall we?

What did you have for breakfast yesterday?
;)

That's why I, for one, prefer a webinar. Don't have to remember anything. I can save it and replay it daily, and it will seem brand new every day!

Appreciate the fact that yore always looking out for me, Hog.

The correct answer, of course, is reheated burnt ends with a chocolate malt chaser and three small Mandarin oranges for dessert.
