» In this episode:
Break down Louisville’s “4-load strong” double post-wheel concept designed to attack Cover 3 into the boundary.
Analyze how defenses use “box” or “area” calls against bunch formations and how this specific route concept is designed to defeat them.
Detail the Deep Third bail and crossover technique demonstrated by Cal’s Hezekiah Masses to stay on top of the vertical routes.
Examine the specific footwork of the corner’s break, explaining why turning underneath was the correct situational play to high-point the ball, rather than a speed turn.
Explain the crucial role of the Nickel/overhang player, who uses a “squat” or “trail” technique to carry the vertical wheel and support the corner’s deep-third responsibility.
