👉🏻 #TCU is not your typical 3-High attack

Let me explain...

#ArtofX ⤵️
The Horned Frogs have THE lowest blitz rates in CFB at 11.6%, & the second lowest stunt rate at 9% (PFF).

They also deviate from the coverage norm, based in Qtrs rather than the typical C2.

#ArtofX ⤵️
One major way #TCU changes its structure is by dropping the MS into the overhang position.

Below, you can see that the Frogs have shifted the LBs to the nub & slid the MS down into the "Ni."

To the "stack," the Frogs are running C2 & away MEG Qtrs.

Everyone needs to understand the Dunning-Kruger Effect because it affects ALL of us.

Let me be the 1st to admit I've been to "Mount Stupid" on multiple occasions...

#ArtofX x #DoBetter 🌱 Image
When we 1st learn something, we ride this quick high: "Look at me; I'm a genius!"

This tends to happen when we are young or learning something new, & we completely misjudge our own competency

The image calls this the "Peak of 'Mount Stupid.'"

#ArtofX x #DoBetter
Life has a funny way of humbling even the most confident (or arrogant) of us all.

From the "peak," we meet either a major loss or someone much smarter than us & we collapse:

"Bro, I'm an idiot."

But this is where a person can make or break it...

Miss State did a great job neutralizing the high-powered run game of Ole Miss

The Bulldogs base from a 3-3-5 that stems from the SDSU Aztec defenses of Rocky Long

Here are 5⃣ concepts from their hybrid defense...

#ArtofX | ⤵️
1) Being able to bounce from an odd to an even front is important when trying to keep the offense guessing in the run game

MSU is aligned in their 4-2-5 against Ole Miss' 2-back unbalanced - a fluid front w/ the Heavy-5 taking the Dive & the ILB snapping down for the QB

#ArtofX
Gap exchanges are important when defending ZN Read plays from a 4-down front

The Heavy-5 works through the hip of the OT, working the heel-line

The ILB snaps down to the LOS, staying tight off the DEs hip & leveraging the QB

A lot has been made about the #Rams "soft" zone coverage & how it has led to struggles in the 1st half of the season

Let's take a look...

#ArtofX x #NFL
First, let's put some context to this:

The #Rams are a Cover 3 based defense

They run a variation of Cover 3 on about 59% of their snaps

Cover 3, played w/ ZN CBs can leave a defense susceptible to underneath throws, especially to the outside flats

#ArtofX x #NFL ⤵️
In reality, the #Rams' D is not playing *that* poorly

@fboutsiders has them w/ a DVOA that ranks 13th overall, 4th against the run, & 19th against the pass

According to @espn, LAR is 3rd in Pass rush win rate

👉🏻 So, yes, coverage *is* the issue
