“It was a lot of quarters coverage — safeties Nate Gerry and (Byerson) Cockrell playing 10 yards from the line of scrimmage,” Kaaya said. “Their linebackers like to turn and run so we thought we could expose them with certain crossing routes. ... It's a good defense. It's a veteran group. But with those safeties being locked on those inside receivers, that was a huge thing for us. Watching Gerry — he's all over the field. When Nate Gerry's to the field, we know they're bringing some kind of buzz (blitz) or piggybacking the linebacker, so, usually, Nate Gerry's the guy you watch. He's the one making plays.”
Now I haven't coached a football team in years and that was just the little guys
but it seems from this that being able to determine what an entire D is doing based off of one player.. is a bit.. elementary.
Anyone with a better understanding please chime in.
