Another question related to defense vs the pass. Does the Defense play ZONE or MAN?

Hey Pete, did you answer this question and I just missed it? Or is the answer somewhere else?


Sorry...Mainly Zone, except on some special situations...

You are clutching at straws somewhat


No I just speaking about very simple things.

Of course it depends on precise personnel..... The Patriots have Hernandez and Gronk, so of course they can pass superbly from 2 TE sets.

But in general terms, wideouts are better receivers, and TEs are more utility players who can both block and catch.

So a formation with more wideouts, for the vast majority of teams, will be a better passing formation.

The same goes for runnign from 4 WR sets - no TE either side, no lead blocker, relying on wideouts to do the outside blocking... in most cases WR vs OLB, OLB wins. And who covers the MLB? Especially against 3-4 - there are 2 MLBs who will be following the play, and a SS, if you are somehow blessed with 3 big WRs with blocking skills, then maybe, but in the vast majority of cases, replace the WRs with 1/2 TEs and a lead blocking back and you have a more effective sweep!

Comparing formations you have to assume the norm, not the exceptions!


If I have 4 good WR and fast, 3 on same side.
Maybe opponents' defence will concentrated on anti-pass neutralization of WR-s?
Fast HB will have some time before the defenders will make decision "it is RUSH".
If MLB is unblocked, but he is not so fast as HB. (But MLB can going to the Blitz).
HB will tackled by someone of the secondaries, who no longer cover WR-s. But he can move forvard for 3-7 yards. But it is normal.
