Put the shovel downPress Coverage Technique/Drills with John Butler – Buffalo Bills
Helping coaches learn, prepare, and excel
Under Coop and this year, we never played this but we will be doing so this year.
Some people think the more they type the smarter they look....
I can promise you this when all is said and done, this secondary is gonna mirror or come as close as possible to his Bills secondaries. You can take that one to the bank.
As @PeliniTheCrutch was trying to explain to you, combo or split field coverages are normal coverages. Playing press coverages is more dependent on you ability to match athletes for athlete. With the talent Nebraska has currently in their DB roster, playing press, man to man vs Ohio St or Oregon would result in an epic beat down. However, against Northwestern or Iowa you might could play more press.
Fair enough with banks. But this is what that secondary is eventually gonna look like under him. Butler will be doing double duty, DC and secondary coach. Sure he won't be able to add everything as college players don't the luxury of time alotted to get everything NFL players have time to get down and rep. This secondary will look like a college version of his Bills secondary with not as much.

Kak these were excellent hires. The problem with some is that if “they” haven’t heard of them the hire is meh. Coach Bradden is from Riviera Beach Florida, where Devon Hester is from and more recently former starting quarterback at FSU Jordan Travis is right around the corner from West Palm Beach. These areas have been untapped because of being overlooked by schools not in Florida. So now with Coach Simpson and Bradden and the S. Florida players making positive noise on the playing field this is a chess not checkers move/s. Lastly some kids don’t want to stay in Florida, for various reasons, they understand that if I make the league I”ll either live or will play in bad weather. Doesn’t hurt that Bradden will recruit with those back to back Super Bowl rings either.
And yet the Bills, Eagles and Lions are all pro style power run teams. The Bills and Eagles are just capable of running the QB.
Butler is unproven right now, but the other groups I feel were really an improvement.
I would disagree on the Bills and Lions, they are very creative offenses with a ton of talent and diversity on offense. Not sure about Eagles. But that is the NFL, the spread is still a talent equalizer in college where there is less parity. The better recruiting teams, tend to have the stronger dlines and by spreading teams out, getting the ball to different areas of the field you can neutralize dominant dlineman in the middle. But I think we will see how important a stout middle is next year, as the easiest yards are always in the middle of the field.
Ultimately you have to pay the price for your unit's underperformance even though there may be some exculpatory reasons for the failures. When individuals under your supervision fail basic tasks, you pay the price.
How can you disagree on the Lions. They have a huge O line and they've had a game where they threw like 12 times is all. Goff sure as hell isn't running the spread. The Eagles have Saquan and even though they have a run threat QB, they're a power run team with Saquan. Their passing stats are anemic at best.
They are multiple, use backs in passing situations in spread formations, and use wrs to run the ball. They do have a dominant oline but aren't a pure power team. Eagles are probably a power team due to have a dominant back and just settling on winning with defense. But, they could be a lot better by being more creative. I view a power team as a team that runs when you know they are running, and can still get yards, which forces you to bring up safeties and then their passing game can wake up.
