Take a look, tell me what you think.. it's only a few frames, so you may not be able to tell.

Thanks for your support!
no photoshop'n.... the ball is thrown between the second and third frame.... the third frame is the first clear picture I could get.Up until the third frame, it's obviously man. But that third frame is a really pretty triangle... and that looks zonish to me.
Did you do some photoshop work, you bastid?
That's it....At first I thought that was K2 making the catch - in which case it appeared to be a standard cover two man with a 59 following the TE deep - but this is the only play in the gamebook that resembles the pictures:
1-10-CLV 22 (11:58) 9-C.Frye pass short left to 17-B.Edwards to CLV 35 for 13 yards (56-M.Greenwood).
one of the reasons I decided to highlight this play here, is because I think too many times people look at who makes the tackle, or who is in the frame to decide who screwed up. I'm not saying this is the case with you here.i would play zone too if I have faggins brown and earl as my secondary
The way that Orr followed the RB would suggest man..... on zone coverage, Orr would fall back or drift out to a spot....Frame 2:
It looks like Orr is taking the running back. Probably zone.
Ryans is backpedalling to stay in front of Winslow...... Kellen is way too fast though, and ends up beating him on top.....I think that's Greenwood in the center right of the picture. He seems to be in zone or spy mode.
I can't see Ryans at this point which makes me think he and Orr might be in some kind of high/low zone coverage.
It's the WR making the catch, but I can see why you'd think it was the TE... & I can see this, if this were a zone coverage.Frame 3:
I think it's the tight end making the catch. He has split the high/low zone coverage. Greenwood saw the quarterback pass and ran to the target. Ryans, I think it's Ryans, is coming up to the target. Orr is dropping the running back and moving to the target.
I know......Now, why would you not expect someone to be at the first down marker?
Please explain......... zone dog cover three.....to help you guys out it is zonedog cover 3. That is the play. Hard to tell when you use the TV broadcast, but that is the defensive call. The way you can tell is that the OLB goes with the underneath route
If this is true, then where is the blitz? We have the front four pass rushing.as far as the terms go...zone is not man...a dog is a blitz...a zone dog is a zone blitz....and the cover3 is the Tampa2....which is really a three deep zone in the secondary.
Do you think Dunta screwed up? I would think it was Dunta since his man stopped at the first down marker and caught the ball while Dunta continued on down the field and did not appear to return to assist with the tackle.thunderkyss said:In this particular case, the guy who screwed up(Imho) is not even in the frame.. even after the catch is made, he doesn't come in to assist with a tackle, or congratulate the guy who did make the tackle.
This explains the lack of a blitz. The RB came out; therefore, Orr covered him instead of blitzing.cadahnic said:Vinny in some cases like in the TAMPA 2 a dog would mean man coverage underneath unless no one comes out then blitz. Or a delayed blitz with read, but you likely know that already so this is more for everyone else than for you...
Thanks for the knowledge.cadahnic said:I hope that helps. If you need me to get overly technical and explain the nuances and reads I can do that also.
So Dunta did not screw up. It sounds like the Browns read our defense VERY well.cadahnic said:In this case Drob had the deep zone, Orr had man on the underneath, Greenwood and Ryans would have been in zone also. Likely with Ryans deep third and Greenwood middle. One safety should be deep on Faggins side and one should have come up in sort of a robber position.
I did think it was Dunta... but with the explanations from Vinny & Cadehinc... I have to take that back..... if he was in a deep zone, he did what he was supposed to do, and basically took KW II out of the play.... so good job Dunta.Do you think Dunta screwed up? I would think it was Dunta since his man stopped at the first down marker and caught the ball while Dunta continued on down the field and did not appear to return to assist with the tackle.
I don't know about them reading our defense well. they were expecting man coverage.... that inside hook by Braylon Edwards would have put the smaller Dunta on his back with no way to defend the pass... a quick juke, and Braylon could of been off to the races.So Dunta did not screw up. It sounds like the Browns read our defense VERY well.
I always play a 3-4 man tough, or an all out blitz out of a 3-4 dime package.they should run a lot of cover 2- man under.
its the best coverage on madden.
Except we don't see the inside zone coverage, unless it is Demeco who is trailing KW in what appears to be tight man..... or Marlon Greenwood from the other side of the field. maybe that's why he is trailing Demeco??Pretty obvious from those last two frames that Dunta is releasing Braylon to the inside zone coverage, while he appears to be getting ready to pick up the other receiver coming across the 35.
Not sure what you are getting at. Normally, if this were another part of the board with it is a plethora of "Carrsucks" posts or the "how about we trade Carr for a 1st round pick" posts, I think you might have something. But most of the posts on this particular thread have had substance behind them.Bottom line this play is obviously a zone coverage and you can see the basic type of zone it is but outside of the players and coaching staff no one knows what exactly every players' responsibilites are supposed to be and who screwed up, if anyone, so everyone should stop making so many assumptions/declarations about what was supposed to happen because no one here knows.
I'm not saying you can't see what basically is going on, I'm just saying a bunch of people are on here saying such and such player was supposed to be in this zone or this player messed up and busted the play. All I'm saying is that no one here knows for sure what anyone on the field was supposed to be doing on that play. You can read the basic coverage etc. but you don't know for sure what exact zone each player is supposed to be in, that was my point. People shouldn't be pointing fingers at players etc. unless they are in the team meetings and know for sure how the play was drawn up and what was supposed to happen, all we know is what actually happened, we don't know what was supposed to happen.Not sure what you are getting at.

Personally, as a coach, I can recognize defensive coverages and offensive schemes. It is my job you know? So forgive me if I correct you that someone who knows what they are talking about can indeed look at a film or a picture and give you an idea of what happened on the play.
I hear what you are saying...... but, I disagree....I'm not saying you can't see what basically is going on, I'm just saying a bunch of people are on here saying such and such player was supposed to be in this zone or this player messed up and busted the play.

First, it's nice to talk about someone other than David screwing up.
Secondly, when our coaches & players go over game film, they are doing just like we are. Making assumptions based on what we know about the game. some of us know more, some of us want to know more, and identifying problems(who screwed up) is one way to help us all get there.
Thirdly, everybody screws up from time to time.... even if we are wrong on this one, hopefully we can identify trends, and properly identify players who aren't playing up to their potential. For instance, we all dog on Greenwood.... who has really put together a solid season. So while OLB may still be on our list of needs, it is a lot lower than what we thought a year ago..... this kind of info is helpful for all the draft nuts we have on this board.
I meant when they are looking at the other teams game film..... trying to identify weaknesses..... making assumptions.I agree, it is nice to have a post about something other than Carr.
The chief difference is when players and coaches go over film they know exactly what play was called and exactly what everyone was supposed to be doing so they know when someone messed up.
that's a good idea.. I recorded this on my DVD-R, then copied the video files to my computer. If I knew how to convert the files to mpeg or avi or whatever it is for video, I'd give it a shot.Again, good idea and keep it up, if possible could you post the entire video clip rather than just a few still shots? It would make it a little easier to properly analyze, but I don't know the logistics of posting a video and have been unsuccessful in previous attempts to do so.
Yes, it is important for all of us to be aware of our level of knowledge and to realize the likelihood of our assumptions being incorrect.I agree, it is nice to have a post about something other than Carr.
The chief difference is when players and coaches go over film they know exactly what play was called and exactly what everyone was supposed to be doing so they know when someone messed up. Conversely, we don't know exactly what everyone was supposed to do on a given play call, so we can't pinpoint that. I like the idea of this thread but when we get 10+ conflicting views that are all "correct" on what the play call was, what each and every player's assignment was, and who screwed up, that is taking things a bit too far, especially if it escalates to people then criticizing each other's views as things usually tend to do. I do like how we are trying to stimulate some intelligent thought and educate people on what we are trying to do, but realistically there's only so much that any of us know, and I was trying to point out that it seemed as though these assumptions were being taken way too far.
Agreed, although seeing 3 still shots from a single play is hard to draw complete conclusions on a player's play, and frequently it seems as though generalizations are made from small samples like this that lead to certain players sucking or playing great, I was just trying to keep things in perspective.
Good thread though, I like the idea, just didn't like how everyone was talking as if they were the head coach and knew exactly what was going on and "this is how this scheme is meant to be run" when we aren't the ones designing the scheme vs. offering up their opinion of what they think was happening on a particular play. Again, good idea and keep it up, if possible could you post the entire video clip rather than just a few still shots? It would make it a little easier to properly analyze, but I don't know the logistics of posting a video and have been unsuccessful in previous attempts to do so.
