Very, Very informative. As an offensive guy, i was always under the assumption that cov 4, 2-Read, & palms were all the same. Thank you for the explanation. I will re watch this vid to drill it in my head.
I finally understand what Palms is.(our team doesn't use that terminology). Whenever you used that term in the past I thought it was what you described as quarters here in this video. This was an important clarification video.
Good video Coach. Great job explaining the evolution of quarters coverage. And yes, the first thing we address as a defensive staff is the run fits. Have to answer that before we do anything else.
Coach, I like it. As long as the kids can remember both the call and their assignments, that's what you do. I have used whatever mnemonic devices I could. I like "Miami" for Palms.....Palm trees I assume?
@@CoachMac OneBack - especially 12 - was the Sid Gillman standard and very ahead of it’s time. It took some time but eventually pushed out the Pro 21. Interestingly Lombardi (famous for the standard 21 pro sets and originating a new style of blocking - run to daylight) ideas were from Gillman. Including the first ideas of blocking space or zone blocking.
Thanks for the video Coach. Do you know where the term "Palms" came from? I was always confused by that terminology and didn't know until now that it was synonymous with 2 Read.
@@CoachMac For me it is. No matter what the coverage if its been taught completely those players will be better for knowing how their alignment and assignment affect their run fit.
For me, and again just my opinion Man Match means every player in the coverage will end up on a man somewhere. Zone match we will drop with zone integrity and only match certain pattern distributions. Like an overhang in 2 Read is a curl defend unless #3 brings him to the flat and he has to carry the wheel of #3.
@@CoachMac So to put its basically man match is a way to match routes out of man to man(1 cross), and zone match is a way to match routes out of zone (stubbie, special etc)?
How do u coach the eyes and feet of the Sam LB in Palms with a detached #2? I assume he is looking to help on the run, before he does his pass responsibility. How do you have his feet. Is he faced inside, outside, or parallel to the LOS.
Hey Coach, how would you teach your players to pattern match when playing palms against a traditional mesh style play from a 2x2 spread formation, or a shallow cross from #2 if #1 and #2 on the other side of the formation run vertical?
Coach, how many teams do you see that call pure quarters/pure palms? I feel like if any team plays pure quarters you’re going to get drained out strong and hit with routes wide open weak. Example being an offense coming out in 3x1 with the HB weak, then running stick strong, and slant flat weak with the slant being wide open. Would love to hear your input.
@@CoachMac As far as I know it’s the same way you describe it. Apex player outside of #2. Take 2 to the flat and the wheel. 3x1 would be the corner playing MOD on #1 with smash rules.
Question coach: I notice the same is inside leverage on 2 on 2 read coverage and outside leverage on Quarters. Can the Sam be inside leverage of 2 on both coverages?
coach what do u think about using a designed screen pass play with a QB roll out with the tackles till blocking and WRS spread out and all running streak route in high school
Coach how would you handle a situation where you are in 2 Read with a detached #2 and they run the #1 on a Post/Arrow at your FS then run an Out&Go with the #2. We faced that in 7v7 a lot and a bit in real football. It was really putting the FC in a bind because he is coming up on the Out route then when it breaks into a Go he was getting caught flat footed.
Don’t drive the out until ball gets thrown, that should give him enough depth to handle the wheel. Rep it a bunch in practice, and have other coverages to protect it
@@craigseal4604 We let our Safety call "switch" on this and would trade the routes with our CB. Anytime we get Post/Wheel or something like you said we are switching it off.
It’s actually easier to force from outside in. It removes him from the fit inside so now the Safety has to be involved. Changing leverage makes it tougher on the offense
This is one of the best TH-cam mini clinics I've ever seen. Thanks for posting.
Thank You so much, hope it helps!!!!

Coach, this video helped me understand 2 Read and Quarters Coverages even more. Just got to keep watching this your Read and Quarters more.
Thank you.
Excellent!

Boom
Great job as always coach! Thank you!
Excellent video coach!
One of my favorite videos to date Coach Mac. We call Palms “Miami” since our coverages are NFL teams or cities.
How do you beat a defense with 4/5 cbs and 2safetys
Depends on fronts and coverages

Coach Jason Friedhoff yes sir and we also use green
Another great video coach
Thank You
Thanks, coach. Excellent
Thank You
Great video coach Mac…
Thanks
Thanks
Great stuff Coach. Interested in how you defend 12 personnel? We are a 3-4 Quarters based team.
Gameplan, 12 can be a beast!!!!

I think Palms, like a Palm Reader at the fair!!!!!
@@CoachMac wow - I wondered that as well. Great explanation of all of it. Thanks coach!
Look at Coverages and how they address run fit issues first.. that’s a HUGE statement
It should be, I hope!!!
@@CoachMac For me it is. No matter what the coverage if its been taught completely those players will be better for knowing how their alignment and assignment affect their run fit.
What’s the difference between “man match” and “zone match”? I often see it used interchangeably and it’s confusing.

Parallel, eyes inside tackle to #3. Heels at 5 YDS depth
@@CoachMac Cool thanks Coach
Hey Coach, how would you teach your players to pattern match when playing palms against a traditional mesh style play from a 2x2 spread formation, or a shallow cross from #2 if #1 and #2 on the other side of the formation run vertical?
Vertical side becomes man, underneath players have to pass off the mesh

Usually a combination of coverages in a Split Field World, what do you define True Quarters as?
@@CoachMac As far as I know it’s the same way you describe it. Apex player outside of #2. Take 2 to the flat and the wheel.
3x1 would be the corner playing MOD on #1 with smash rules.
Question coach: I notice the same is inside leverage on 2 on 2 read coverage and outside leverage on Quarters. Can the Sam be inside leverage of 2 on both coverages?
Tough to be inside and carry a wheel route

Screens are awesome in High School

In madden video game - quarters is when the defense has 5 cbs and 2 safteys. is this what you mean as quarters?
No sir, Quarters is a type of coverage not personnel
why do you play your SAM outside of #2? how can he be the force player etc?
It’s actually easier to force from outside in. It removes him from the fit inside so now the Safety has to be involved. Changing leverage makes it tougher on the offense
Coach I am looking for technique for number 2 linebacker if he gets a wheel?
LB is swing deep of 3, match leverage and gain depth. Depth in drop helps with leverage and defending possible wheel
Would you carry robber with Palms and Quarters.
We only carry Quarters, different rules in my opinion
Do you ever play any type of robber with the corners as deep half players?
Not really by rule
What highschool do you coach I just came across your channel
Orange Park
who gets the wheel of #2 on 2 read?
Corner
Palms = 2 Read
For us it does
