If Finley's girlfriend gets 10,000 followers he's going to learn how to catch an over-the-shoulder ball.

Oh. never mind I just remembered. As far as mixing in "Man" coverage for the corners would just require the Safeties to be less aggressive. But isn't that one of the 34 strengths? Uaing the safeties on or near the L-o-S that is. Andrew just what has poor ole Jarred done to deserve that kind of talk? Oh. never mind I just remembered.

McCarthy said something similar recently in a PC. There are two type of mental mistakes a player can make....and he would blame something like this on coaching failure. Obviously he wasn't talking about the Sanders defense but I'm sure that was one of his issues when he mentioned a lot of the same issues being around in the third year that were there in the first.

I, too, hadn't thought about combining zone and man to take advantage of strengths. _______________________ This one's for Corey...can't you see Bush yelling out his assignment before the ball is snapped..."Man!, I mean Zone, er, Man! er, SHIT!"

But the Packers played almost only man-to-man. So they didn't practice a lot of zone. Hence the problems when they had to perform it. At least this is the excuse Al Harris used. And makes sense. And I think the yelling their duties part is just for training camp, so they can get used to it. Doubt it'll happen on gameday. retiredgrampa – I have the same concern about the miscomunnication.

It becomes even more vital in zone and is one of our weaknesses. I've read that now EVERY man on the D must yell out his read to let the others know what his duty is. Umless those 8 men do it every play, some WR will be wide open to hurt us. It will turn a game around fast. I hope Capers is drilling this into the guys constantly.

If they are down on the line bumping a receiver, another receiver can move into their coverage area (which is usually mid-range on the sidelines) which would cause a safety to move out of position which screws up the entire defense. --- That said, I'm sure it's not impossible, and with the minds of NFL coaches behind it, I'm sure they could figure something out.

It gives more time to the rushers to get to the qb, and if they're good, the wr won't have time to get in the soft spot of the zone.

They are too good at it to abandon that so the offense gets a free release. Disrupting the timing of the O is a form of pressure, thats what he's trying to create. Key difference from previous scheme, hopefully, is communication. I bet Capers will leave Harris and Woodson jamming guys at the line.

That is common practice, yes, but my hunch is that Harris is caught looking in the backfield and loses track of him. Al – it’s debatable if Harris is indeed passing off the receiver to the safety.

But in his defense, on the first play, he passed the receiver off to the safety, who missed the coverage. The second play was a better example of what happens when he has to read and think. Two receivers going by him and he lets them both go. I’m no Al Harris apologist, in fact, I’ve been one of the biggest loudmouths screaming he can’t play zone.
