Unfortunately, Tua called Ogletree’s bluff, and a favorable matchup with Gesicki was found downfield. He’s telling his corners to go sick the receivers.Īlso, Alec Ogletree is mugging up on the line to bluff a blitz. That doesn’t appear to be happening much under Sean Desai - it was common throughout the game to see the corners keeping close intervals with receivers on third down. Usually the Bears DBs lined up on the first down markers on 3rd down from 2019 to 2020 under Chuck Pagano. Once again, the corners are lined up against the line on their respective man. Here’s the scene prior to Tua Tagovailoa’s deep shot with Mike Gesicki. This wasn’t a perfect afternoon for the Bears’ defense, though. At the conclusion of the play, the Bears DBs all squared off with their assignments, and forced the incompletion as well as a 3-and-out. Jaylon Johnson looks ready to press his dance partner off their route. Duke Shelley however, is much closer to the line at Nickel. Kindle Vildor is off the line of scrimmage at LB depth before the snap. We have a “one on/one off” look here between the corners, yet look where the nickel is lined up. This is not to say Sean Desai won’t mix up with his own take on “one on/one off” alignments.
Sean Desai, on the other hand, has introduced a more “in your face” style of coverage for his corners. It was rare to see both corners being close to the line of scrimmage for more physical coverage concepts. Vic Fangio loved having his corners being “one on/one off” as they rolled with more “cloud” concepts to maximize the different strengths between Prince Amukamara and Kyle Fuller. Again, look at the alignment of the corners. This is also before the Bears DBs started rolling into coverage.
Now, let’s look at two examples of the 2018 defense ran by Vic Fangio. Instead, we would see a “one on/one off” alignment on most snaps. Where quarters coverages have been seen under Vic Fangio, it was uncommon to see both corners pressing their targets. Safeties would be responsible for any verticals from the #3 and #4 receivers. So, the corners (Vildor and Johnson) would be responsible for verticals from the #1 and #2 receivers. Match quarters would mean a matching patterns concept while playing cover four. Essentially, the defenders will take assignments depending on what routes are identified. Yet, they’re also looking to be in zone, which could lead to the idea of the Bears running a “match quarters” concept in their secondary.įor an in-depth look into what exactly the matching pattern or “match” concept is, check out this article from Pats Pulpit. This indicates the corners are jamming their receivers off the line. Meanwhile, the two safeties are back deep in a shell. Jaylon Johnson looks to be “mugging” (essentially lining up over the in-line tight end) as well. These two corners are sitting close to the line of scrimmage. The Chicago Bears in their base 3-4 alignment. The base “heavy” front hasn’t changed, but check out how the corners are lined up between Jaylon Johnson and Kindle Vildor. Below is a screenshot of the Bears in their base 3-4 alignment.

Saturday was our first glimpse on what we could expect for the 2021 regular season.įrom the very first series of the game for Desai’s defense we can already mark one distinct difference. It’s been hinted all off-season that while Desai will bring back more two-high safety looks that we saw with Vic Fangio, Sean Desai is going to make his own flavor of that product. Sean Desai made his own debut as the Bears’ new Defensive Coordinator on Saturday, and I previously wrote about how Coach Desai’s promotion will impact the Bears’ defense. Yet, a question I have for everyone that watched the glorified scrimmage against the Miami Dolphins, is how about that Bears’ defense?
Writers all over the net have posted stories on how Justin dazzled the Chicago audience. Everyone in the NFL world is going crazy for Justin Fields’ preseason debut with the Chicago Bears this past Saturday, and rightfully so.
