Coaches, I could use a little help with developing a banjo rule for our secondary.

What are your rules for making a "banjo" call to exchange coverage responsibilities between defenders in man coverage?

Which defender should make the call?

What kind of distance between receivers is needed to trigger call?

When playing cover 1, how would you play a tight bunch/cluster or would you check to zone?

Any additional info you could provide would also be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave Hartman

Both defenders need to recognize what is happening and need to communicate with each other. This can't be a "you call it every time" type of rule, in my opinion. Distance is going to depend on your alignment--you're worried about rubs here; if you're corner and spur, for instance, are not at or near the same depth there should not be much of a problem, but if they are then you have to make that adjustment. Against a bunch, or even trips, I would play zone to that side. With two WR's (and you don't feel you have the ability to play man to man or normal coverage), play a high/low C-2 with your spur and Corner or corner and free; vs. a trips play a C-3 to that side.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.

When receivers are aligned 5yds are closer, a me you call needs to be made. T:beer;he inside defender will take any route breaking inside(before 5 yds), and the defender on the perimeter will take any route coming to him. Versus a bunch set, you would have a defender responsible for in/out and vertical.

Put a hole right through his chest. Defend them in levels so you dont get picked.
