Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - New Zone Coverage

I'll be honest, that was very disappointing to watch. DBs were floating all over the place, linebackers were backpedaling faster than receivers were running, and all the defenders seemed to react way too fast. The problem last year was that the defenders never committed to a route, they just stood around and let receivers run around them, so certain routes were almost always open. What this video looks like is that the defenders still aren't committing to routes, they're just floating around super fast covering all routes and jumping ones as you push the button. What they really should be doing is copmmitting to a route and trusting somebody else to cover the other routes. Good passing schemes are designed so that you force a defender to go one way and leave the other guy open. That won't work if the defender can just float around covering both guys.
