A lot of the Bronco game he had several players open on those concepts on any given play.

For how you formation, screens give you nice blocking angles on players. The chance to get a good solid hit on a speed corner might slow his game and make him less decisive. It is important to challenge the tackle ability of extra defensive backs as well.

Houston pretty much fit its front consistently vs. the Ravens and had great success pass rushing. Cover fits after the front fits, they were a screen play away from containing the Ravens most of that game. They manned up outside and were pretty solid vs. the long throw, and NE has that strength in its corner play as well, for the most part. What they did different was being able to change some of the safety support/force play

That fouled reads on the tight end or slot for option routes or flood progressions because the high safety converts the route to a comeback or a break point and the low safety ends up in position to run under a throw and challenge for interceptions. Both teams can use elements of that at times when they know the read player will be that tight end or slot. Outside cover ability let them play games on the inside.

Spot routes put the outside wideout as the man who makes the chain marker catch at about six yards to go on a given down. Stick routes do the same(get to the sticks, stick foot in ground, make catch) but the slot man gets that call. Snag routes let the tight end do that at about six to eight yards yards. Back options go at four to six yards for how deep they initially set in the backfield. Now you see three similar routes, each run by different players, with aiming points to convert quick throws. One player runs deep to clear that side and another run runs outside of that to widen the immediate flat defender so the catch can turn upfield to run.

So now with four or five yard(backs) and six to eight yards(ends and wideouts) you see the importance of effective running on early downs to position this kind of timed offense. That is where New England has so much great chemistry. Change the formation and players, rotate those calls for how they line up, same idea based on securing the ball and extending the drive.

Think the option route has to play big, and especially the snag. Matchup zones should cover some of this well enough, because once you get on the near route it should smother the underneath combo. If the guy on that 'read route' can get on the player tight enough to cover which ever way he breaks and stand on his ground when separation contact arrives(nobody pushes off more than Deion Branch) then you are in the ballgame. But it's a different player who gets that technique challenged every time. As Matt shows you here if they cover too tight he will run dual routes to a field side so as the first route clears that side the tight coverage runs itself from the second one where you plan on having field leverage to run free.

That is where elements of matchup zones change things. One or two defenders are on a route and run with it, and sudenly stop, and the second read runs into them. That's how you kill the paired routes. Double moves still have their place in it too, and Ed reed needs air after big plays these days. Run him off and then work on the other Ravens. Think one or two defenders can zone up while everyone else is in man(Ray and Reed are who they want to free up) and if they even start to show some chase in their feet, and suddenly stop to be a middle defender read, it can wreck timing. Still have to be disciplined in it so you can make the play.

That is why Gronk outside is so big a key. He is too far out to change what you do, commit to him or else. Then if that defender commits someone else helps where he was going to be at otherwise. Now the field has holes or tears in coverage and the Pats stress those with the routes and combos Matt mentioned. Good luck trying to stay with all of it. The Ravens biggest leaders at each level(Suggs, Lewis, Reed) have to be the guys who change some of what they do at key times, the recognition and skill factors are in their command.

Another reason the whip/option is so crucial vs. matchup zone, you end up covering the same ground, so you end up getting the same defender, and a chance to work open to one side of him with an accurate passer like Brady able to make that crisp throw. If they can get over those guys on a matchup or just a speed route early maybe everyone gets so loose you play catch all game. How the Ravens use a matchup zone, how well they use man coverage technique in it, and how many people zone at matchup level with their ability to show you a lot based on experienced leaders conducting their calls, all this has to come together in game time.

Simple as protecting Brady. Keep Ngata off him(block air on quicks if you have to, NO FREE INSIDE SPACE) and get rid of the ball. Suggs is known as more a pass rush challenge for his work on the edge, think the extra talent at tight end and in the backfield must make him play through his line blocker. If he has time all the coverage rotations and techniques are moot, rush him and worry his follow through. If you frustrate Brady early and look in on his dropback he will set quick, pump, and throw very, very deep. Don't let outside speed run straight, make them climb over you by moving around you. Hands up, linemen, keep moving, if you can't get to him then you can still get the ball knocked down.

If he starts ducking his shoulder for the snap under center like Danny White around midfield have Ray Lewis point it out to the officials. That's where he wants the free play to put air on a throw. Don't give him freebies on cadence. Play games with whoever spots the snap(center or either guard) when he is in the gun so they have two gaps on protection. Cross the blocker's face for who spots the count to Brady to try and ruin some of their timing, use technique against that tendency.
