[Pack @CoachPack_]

Hey everyone,

For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be graduating in the spring of 2027, and I’m hoping to become a graduate assistant after graduation.

I’m very comfortable using PowerPoint and Pro Quick Draw to create installs and diagrams, and I’m also proficient with video-editing software. Every diagram, install, clip, and cutup you see on my page has been created and edited by me.

I’ve also spent a significant amount of time studying different defensive systems and am familiar with numerous schemes and techniques.

If you have any information about potential graduate assistant openings or know someone who might be able to help me, I’d really appreciate you sending me a DM. My DMs are open, and I can also be reached at [email protected].

Against Jeremiah Smith, you have to always be thinking about him and figuring out ways to cloud/bracket him. Here are a few ways that Oregon did that this past Saturday.

1st Clip (0:00): The Post Safety is aligned at 15 yards instead of the typical 12, and you don't see him take Skate steps to the MOF, to clear R/P. He's flat footed, with his body opened to the side of Smith on the snap. Instead of weaving and melting off the QB, he's playing off Smith, almost like a Middle Runner in Tampa.

2nd Clip (0:36): Instead of playing Rip Liz to Smith, they check into an An Area call, with the Star working fast to drop to Smith's inside hip, then gaining depth to cloud the window.

3rd Clip (1:06): Same as before, playing Area to Smith, with the Star working to the inside hip of Smith, gaining depth.

4th Clip (1:42): Another example; here it's in Tampa, with the flat player sprinting out to Smith, and then zone turning, creating a cloud with Finney and Offord over Smith.

Two different split-safety coverages that Oregon ran against Ohio State.

1st Clip (0:00): Double Cut
2nd Clip (0:34): 3 High Double Switch. Could be Cut to the boundary and Switch to the field. I said it was Switch because in Cut, the Safety is gaining depth at a 45 while peeking the release of 1, and in this clip, that doesn't happen. To the field, you can see partially why it's called Switch.

A few Dime Rabbit Cover 0/1 Calls that Oregon made against Ohio State.

1st Clip: 0:00
2nd Clip: 0:29

In the first clip, it's very similar to the Clue call, which is basically 1 Funnel but in Dime personnel. Safety and the Mac are funneling the back, with one of them becoming the rat. Here, the Mac is the spy instead of a Rat.

In the second clip, it's very similiar to a pressure that Blake Baker called for LSU against Clemson last year, where both of the backers were aligned 4 yards off in 10s and blitzed the opposite C gaps. Here it's the Jack and the Mac, with the Mac blitzing the C gap, and the Jack blitzing the B gap opposite.

Oregon Cover 8 Cutup vs Ohio State: Square

Cover 8 = Zone Match Quarter Quarter Half

In both clips vs 2x2, they're playing Square to the Star, which means he's outside aligned of 2, rerouting 2 in the same, and playing the first to the flat. The corner is a bail 1/4 player, Quarter Read for the safety.

They're playing Soft Kathy to the boundary (first clip could be Clamp), which is just Zone Cover 2, with a cloud corner, and a half over 1 safety.

Oregon Cover 7 Trips Check Cutup vs Ohio State: Box

1st Clip (0:00): BOX.
2nd Clip (0:26): Box With Poach.

In the first clip, they're in Mint 4 Mod, and vs FIB, they're playing Field and Boundary with the Star and Jack. The $ to the boundary plays RPO first, which you can see when he pops his feet out to the Bubble. The Star is fitting it like a Basic backer, making the Nose right, while the Mac stacking off the 4i and fitting off the back.

In the 2nd clip, the Safety to the Boundary is playing Poach instead of Cone because of the set being tight.

@Coach_Getch @cameronsoran They don't always play Seahawk with the Star starting his eyes on 3. It's pretty mixed where the eyes start for them, from what I've seen.

[Pack @CoachPack_]

Oregon Cover 7 Trips Check Cutup vs Ohio State: Seahawk

Clip 1: 0:00
Clip 2: 0:30

Traditionally in Seahawk, the Safety is playing deeper than the deepest, with a 60/40 lean towards 3. However, against Ohio State, you can see that there was more of a 60/40 lean towards 2 when Jeremiah Smith was at 2. This was one of the ways that Oregon game-planned for Smith.

In the second clip, vs a Nub (Trey) set, they bring the Poach Safety down, so they can play with a 6 man box.

[Pack @CoachPack_]

@cameronsoran Steeler is Seahawk to my knowledge, how are you defining Steeler?

Oregon Pressure Path Cutup vs Ohio State: Mac Tom.

1st Clip: 0:00
2nd Clip: 0:40
3rd Clip: 1:10
4th Clip: 1:40

In all four clips, they added some twist to the path.
In the first clip, it was run out of a Boundary Load. The 3T does end up being free off the pick, but the ball is out by then. (Could be 0 Sticky with the safety and backer funneling the back).

In the second clip, it's run out of an Okie/Under front, with the backer working to pick the Guard to the tilt side.

In the third clip, they use a Crawl call to start from a Mint front and then slide to a Short/Bench front. The pick comes from the boundary backer, with the 2i wrapping. Here, the back and center work to the pick.

In the fourth clip, Oregon runs the pick to the 3T instead of the 2i, which is what they had done in the last two plays, and now they run a Tex Stunt game away from it. The center works to the picking backer, which leaves the wrapping 5T uncovered, and the backer does a great job of ricocheting off the pick to be able to force the QB into the EDGE. Behind it, here it looks like they're playing Dog (2 Man) to the field, and Cone to the boundary.

Oregon Tom Stunt Cutup vs Ohio State.

1st Clip: 0:00
2nd Clip: 0:29

In the first clip, they're playing Cover 6 (Weak rotation Cover 3). In the second clip, they're playing Quarters.

In both clips, they get Counter, and the Tom Stunt frees the 2i to the backside to work into the frontside. In the second clip, because the fullback kicks out the EDGE and the backer spills the puller, the back sees green grass in the A gap, but the 2i is come around free and get to the back.

Oregon Redzone Coverage Call vs Ohio State: Turkey

To the field, they're playing Turkey, with the corner being the waterfall player, the Star biting 1, and the SS biting 2.

To the boundary, it looks like they might be playing Sticky, with the Mac cutting crossers and the Safety taking the back in the funnel.

Similar to the Buzzard call that exists, except Buzzard sets the Turkey call to the back, and the Sticky call away.

[Pack @CoachPack_]

@cole0271 @DouglasTS It's a form of it. They're basically playing a form of Cover 1 to the boundary, and a form of 2 man to the field.

If the video looks super grainy on your end, here are the clips by themselves, hopefully this looks a little bit better.
reverse order as below:
1st Clip: Firezone
2nd Clip: Eyes Pressure
3rd Clip: Tampa Sim

[Pack @CoachPack_]

Georgia Overload/Straight Pressure Variation Cutup vs Ole Miss.

1st Clip (0:02): Tampa Sim. This is the more traditional Straight Path, with the Mac blitzing the B gap, and the $ blitzing the C gap. When the Jack crosses the Guard's face, the Mac is untouched in the B gap, and the Tackle can't help because of the blitzing Backer. Attacks the backside of 5-man half slide.

2nd Clip: Eyes Pressure. Similar to the Leopard Eyes call they have, with the Star blitzing the B gap on a Lion Path, but now instead of the Mac blitzing the A gap, he's dropping out to become an underneath eyes player, and the EDGE and Nose are working a Ned Stunt. The Ned stunt occupies the guard, which allows the Lion Path Star to be free.

3rd Clip: Nail Tracy Firezone. This is a really popular pressure path at the NFL level, obviously made popular by guys like Macdonald and Minter, but this year, Gannon has used it as a staple for the Packers. Another pressure where Schumann was able to occupy the guard, and overload the B gap, with two guys working on the back. Pressure forces a poor decision from Chambliss, and an interception for Bolden.

Against Ole Miss, Georgia repeatedly used a Max Pressure look and had a ton of success. Here were two different calls that they used out of it.

1st Clip (0:01): Tampa Sim with the Boundary Safety being a blitz-contain player.
2nd Clip (0:45): Blitz Coverage. The Boundary Safety again beats the back and gets a strip-sack. This was the third time that Georgia had used Blitz Coverage, and the first two times, the BS was unblocked. Chris Cole is reading the Guard; when the Guard's shoulders are to him, he pops out into coverage.
