Non-traditional Overload Cover 1 Pressure

Here the Jaguars use a 3-3-5 nickel personnel blitzing two safeties. The front spacing is non-traditional using the nose as 3 tech to help build the overload.

The Rush:

Four from a side overload. The End is contain, the LB is up and under the Nose attacks the Guard. Weak side the Safety is contain with the DE on an inside rush. The overload side safety looks like he is reading the turn of the protection and looking inside to midline.

The Coverage:

Cover 1 man free with an ILB running out to play the post and the 6 man pressure peeling the RB on any release into a route.

The pressure soaks up the RB and interior OL to create space on the midline for the safety to loop inside. Interesting pressure concept from the Jags and Todd Wash.

Cover 1 Peel Blitz

Here the Jaguars are in a 3-3-5 nickel personnel

The Rush:

Ends are contain with peel responsibility to cover the RB on any route crossing face. The Nose is working weak opposite the crossfire action from the Mike and Will. The weak side down safety is going depth and under into the B gap.

The Coverage:

Cover 1 with the edge rushers peeling for the RB.

The pass protection is a 5 man scat with the RB free releasing. Being in a scat protection forces the OL to block the 5 most dangerous threats. The guard has eyes on the mugged up Will LB. When the backer drops off and the Mike triggers to blitz the A gap the guard's eyes and feet are pulled to the strong side to help pick up the nose working away from the cross fire. The Guard working strong creates the run through for the B gap blitzing safety. The scat release RB is eaten up by the DE on the peel technique. Good design and execution from Jacksonville.
