I liked the sack; the defender hit the QB right where the hit zone should be, considering how tight the NFL is getting with hits.

^^^^ Right here; this right here; this point right here - is my biggest fear..

If zone coverage is gonna leave the middle of the field open like that, I'll be running with Cam all game.

From what I remember, you ain't gonna get far

I doubt it'll be wide open like that everytime, I would hope!

I get what your saying about cam getting sacked, IRL cam woulda fought and possibly shrugged the DB off but it was pressure right in his face so maybe he just cut his losses on the play lol.

About the clay Matthews part he's being user controlled if you watch the video instead of the GIFs you'll see it.

Hopefully that is where the new "coverage crash" mechanic comes into play to limit those QB runs.

Interested to see how this affects coverage.

Rex on Twitter just said less time in pocket for QB's . It's moving twards more realistic pockets and pressure !

Kind of odd to point this out, but why does Cam still have that generic throwing motion? They still haven't updated that?

They really need to decouple the D and O line players. You can see the edge rusher on the right of the screen just run directly into the tackle. You can tell that they are attached to each other under the hood. That kills the line play. I really hope they will fix this next year.

Very true,and at the same time, you didn't see the OL standing around not knowing what to do, either.

Hopefully they'll keep their feet in the ground. It's so much better having defense be too good as opposed to too bad or stupid. I worry about it as well simply because I strictly play offline and pass sliders haven't worked properly in forever. I really wish they would overhaul sliders to work like you'd figure they should 0=beyond terrible, 100=perfection. It wouldn't help the online crowd but then again if they used a specific slider set for online play instead of default then it definitely could IMO.

Nice catch. Also looks like it's backwards on one of them as well.

I really liked that 5-minute breakdown, especially the discussion of the types of plays.

I've been wanting to be able to run a man/zone concept for a while, so I loved that the Cover 2 play on the bottom of the page had zone coverage on the offense's right side and man coverage on the back side.

For me, that's a big strategic addition, especially if you have 1 matchup you really like at CB but not a whole set of matchups all the way across the board.

To fully take advantage of this strategy, we would need individual matchup assignment abilities, but still, this is a good take-away re: defensive playbook expansion.

This is a diagram of 2-Buster, it's from a Wade Phillips playbook. An outside backer/sub package db will read #2 & #3, and if either one goes flat, he matches them. This allows the zone side cb to aggressively play #1.
