The "Low Red" Solution: Adjusting Stubbie to Stump

How the Rams Convert Match Coverage to Stop 3x1 Formations in the Red Zone

» In this episode:

  • Red Zone Philosophy: Why you should avoid wholesale coverage changes inside the 20 and instead rely on minor tweaks between the “High Red” and “Low Red”.

  • Stubbie to Stump: How to convert standard Stubbie coverage into “Stump” to handle 3x1 Bunch sets inside the 10-yard line.

  • “Basketball” Safeties: The specific footwork and “robber” technique safeties use along the end zone lettering to react to the quarterback’s vision.

  • Creating the Box: How playing “Stump” into the boundary creates a “box” structure with the corner, safety, nickel, and linebacker.

  • Rams Film Review: A breakdown of how the Rams executed this adjustment against Seattle to force a stop on 3rd Down.
