The NFL's Four-Down Three-High Defenses

—

» In this episode, I talk about:

• NFL defenses increasingly employ three-high safety structures to counter evolving offensive strategies.

• Explain the unique approach the Arizona Cardinals use to run their three-high defense but from a Penny (5-1) alignment.

• Examine how the Vikings leverage their safety personnel's flexibility by switching positions based on offensive alignments, which can confuse quarterbacks.

• How the LA Chargers use a ‘big dime’ package that relies on three safeties and dissects a play illustrating how they run a robber concept from their three-high alignment.

• Look at the ongoing development of three-high safety defenses that reflect a significant trend in the NFL.
