2021 'Who are you watching?' NFL prospect thread.

See this is why I'm talking about it being a great deal of projection for GN2. Because NU's defensive system is so passive I can't stand it. Even when you don't have the same caliber athlete's that DBU's like tOSU, LSU, FSU recruit, I HATE the concept of playing scared against the big boys. Sure, you can get away with this sort of thing against MSU, Nebraska, Iowa, etc etc. They have pedestrian passing games. But when you face the larger schools with QB's and WR's who are going to get drafted then, well, to quote Coach Saban when he was in Cleveland "That break on the ball shit ain't gonna work".
It's a quarters look but NU is playing what appears to be true quarters to the field, but the confusion among the players to the boundary - including our 1st round pick, looks like they were almost playing palms. Quick crash course - most quarters, press or not, has the S read 2 to 1 while the CB is in man-match, but you can have an under call from the CB. #2 presses vertical and the S picks him up in man, then the CB gets no help on the #1. In palms it's read 2 to 1 but if the #2 goes flat, then the CB picks up the #2. You can bait a lot of throws like this, alot of coaches call it 2 trap for that reason. The CB turns the #1 over to the S who takes him vertical, a nice bump to give the S time to recover and affect the route is appreciated (been there) No S wants that receiver having a clean release, it sucks to deal with.
Instead they get confused on the pass off, with GN2 turning it over to the LB's who then pass off in zone and the S playing over top. Greg slips and falls and is late getting back into his deep 1/4, might have saved this or not but he wasn't primary coverage if they're ALL reading it wrong. While the OLB picks up tracking the back to the flat. It looks like a stick with a half-assed spot-n-go combo. Spot-n-go is a WR or TE running a settle in coverage but then breaks back up field bending the route based on DB leverage. edit: might just be some type of sluggo call. There was no break there in that route.
Either way it's incredibly frustrating for me to watch and get a gauge of on-man skills specifically because of how the NU deploys their coverages.
The play I'm talking about starts @ 2:39 if you wanted to follow along.

Well.... that explains it!
