dynobot77 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Will he still follow the best WR around the field as he usually does? Or will he just stay on that one side of the field like Shermon in Seattle?Anyone have any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBateser Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well if he's our "Sherman" he'll play on one side like Sherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I imagine and pretty sure Tru will just stick to his side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I think schematically he'll have to stick to his side. We play zone, not man, and the WR is responsible for the deep half of the field. I don't see them moving the outside corners with the receivers. I could be wrong -- I only know of this defense what I have read, which isn't much. But I think they keep them on one side of the field for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if our defense is going to be mostly zone? I can see him just staying to the one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it described as "press zone" or "press bail," but the idea is you knock the receiver off his route, but you also keep the play in front of you because you're responsible for the whole deep third of the field. If he switches sides, you stay put, and if he crosses over the field, you take whoever comes into your zone and someone else picks him up. If he gets past you, he has the end zone in front of him.

wilco Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm currently having a discussion on another board with a guy who claims that Xavier Rhodes is the best corner to come from 2013 class...I didn't watch much of Rhodes tbh, so I googled some and found this interesting post on reddit along the way https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/33ekpv/series_who_you_going_to_take_desmond_trufant_or/Interesting, there's a Vikings fan who wants Tru over Xavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard that we were going to more press and bump n' run, I assumed we're going to be more man vs zone in the secondary. So long as our corners actually JAM the receivers and the D-line gets pressure w/out blitzing all the time? Our defense will be alot better than the people may think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkonator Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well play more man as Quinn style of defense is cover 1/cover 3. But I don't think we will see tru shadow a wr. It's something that hasn't really happened before(I know it happened some last season) but they've never used tru as a truly shadow corner, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlfanstckndenver Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It's cover 3, which is zone, not man. We will play some man, but it will mostly be zone.I think he was referring to the times that cover 1 is called, during which the majority of the back seven will be playing man.

TheFatboi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 He never followed the best wr in the old defense. We didn't matchup. It was whoever lined up in front of you that's who you covered. We never did that in smitty's tenure. If it was Roddy you covered Roddy, If it was Julio you covered Julio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It's cover 3, which is zone, not man. We will play some man, but it will mostly be zone.It'll be either. That's what Quinn runs. Either cover 1 or cover 3. He utilizes both. Depends on who the opponents are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
