Break this film down for this play - who blew the coverage?

The safety, number 38, looks like he was lost.

You'd have to know the coverage call. The Mike clearly thought he had the flats (zone) or the RB (if man). The safety seems unsure, or he just saw that someone screwed up and couldn't adjust in time.

The nickel either had a blitz or force against the run and saw it early so my guess is the safety was supposed to pick up that WR.

The safety who jumped into double coverage and let the man go?

 

[speedkilz88]

Yeah, the mike seem to know who his guy was and the safety missed his.

 

[CowboyRoy]

LOL nice find. For all those Taco guys, take a look what happened to him on this play. The RDE. I was commenting about this play several times in his analysis. This is the same type of play that many of you discounted about Watt. Unblocked clear shot at the QB. Taco doesnt even make the play because he falls down unblocked.

Another interesting play - that's a rookie showing great anticipation and preventing a first down. Nice!

 

[CowboyRoy]

And by the way the guy that blew the coverage was our hero Jeff Heath.

Heath and the rookie Taco blew the play. You couldnt have picked a better play to illustrate my concern about both players.

Hes already better then Heath.

Impossible to know. The LB and Heath both ended up covering the same receiver; therefore, one of them was wrong.

 

[CATCH17]

Boy that is a tough call without knowing the coverage.


To me it looked like it was the Linebackers man.

Good playcall by the offense.

How shocking, you are deflecting blame. It was Heaths responsibility. The LBer is there to cover the back out of the backfield.

 

[CATCH17]

Yeah, the mike seem to know who his guy was and the safety missed his.

He was biting on the playaction and that's why it seemed like he knew where to go.

Who knows with this play.

Bingo. Obviously, one of them was wrong.

Its simple coverage. The safety comes down and covers the slot receiver. The Lber steps up to cover the run and they is responsible for the back coming our of the backfield.

In the end Jeff Heath was covering no one. He's awful. The CB Blitzed and Heath was probably supposed to help on the receiver in what looks to be man coverage based on what everyone else on the defense was doing.

Bingo. My thoughts exactly. Watch everyone else.

Stop saying "who knows".

I know, most know. Its obvious. And you can see Heath knows he blew it.

 

[Phoenix]

But it was funny seeing that DE get blocked by air

I can buy that too but what I'm not sure of is if Heath was supposed to be covering the flats.

If he was supposed to be manning the WR I'm sure he would've just ran with him but it looked like his responsibility was to cover the flats and the linebacker bit on the PA so hard that he just kept following the back.
