DB Off-Man Technique

7-8 yds deep. Always inside of receiver 1 -2 yds. Doesn't change regardless of coverage (if off man)

When playing what we call "soft man" (you call it Off man ) and with a cushion of 7-8 yds even though it is inside, IMO, you are very vulnerable to the quick slant, so therefore we NEVER PLAY soft anything! We roll up hard with inside leverage and jam the stew out of the receivers! I am very cognizant you can't play man all night long, but we sure try to and succeed with it most of the time. I have posted many times on the forum here that the hardest thing you can teach a receiver is to get off the jam, why allow them free access into the pattern by playing "soft" or "off"? We roll up and jam them with everything we got! Just my way as always.

We want INSIDE position even in MAN/FREE (because you can run the F/S OFF with the #2 receiver & STILL hit the POST on the break under him (easy 22+ yd gain)!

We always tell our Corners you may be a step late on a perfectly thrown "OUT", but jump all inside moves!

Coach Murph,

It has all been said. We are not going to give up ANYTHING IF WE CAN HELP IT INSIDE BUT FORCE THE LOW PERCENTAGE FADE OR GO RATHER THAN A QUICK SLANT! ONEBACKS philosophy is correct also in my mind, if that works for him I say go for it. I just prefer the other way.
