Schematic Fluidity: How The Buccaneers' Todd Bowles' 2-Roll Coverage Baited Mac Jones

A deep dive into the 2-Roll "trap" coverage that confused the 49ers' Mac Jones.

» In this episode:

  • Break down Todd Bowles’ “schematic fluidity” and his elite pressure design.

  • Analyze a specific 2-Roll “trap” coverage the Buccaneers used to disguise their intentions.

  • Explain how Bowles runs this same coverage from a base defense, a simulated pressure, and a five-man pressure.

  • Examine how the coverage is designed to confuse the quarterback and bait throws into the flat (hot) or the “Hole Shot”.

  • Study three clips of how this concept directly led to two interceptions against the 49ers’ QB Mac Jones.
