                        The big problem we faced last year was the transition from Gus Bradley and our old Country Cover style of coverage drops to Brandon Staley and his pattern matching/split coverage concepts.

                        Asante Samuel had said that the difference between where we were is night and day. But it helps that we went out and selected college players who have played in some similar schemes. A lot of the players we had were just not suited to that style of D. Even a guy like Gilman, who I thought was making his reads better as the season went on, was still not always in a position to make plays because he couldn't always come up and fill from the 3rd level.

                        JT Woods is that kind of plays. Baylor is not a split coverage team. But they do a lot of pattern matching, and their S are constantly adjusting to the offensive play even after the snap. He reads the patterns well, and he does it on the run. So many college and pro teams are still running the old style "country cover" style of zone drops, that there are just not that many guys who have the right mental makeup.

                        The big thing Woods needs to do is make himself a better tackler. He tends to just go up and grab the player he is trying to tackle, or to throw himself at the ball carrier's legs and hope to tangle his feet with his jersey as Woods is run over. Woods isn't tiny, although he has a smallish build. He just needs to get better at wrapping up and mostly I think he needs more confidence.

                          Based on how some teams drafted, we're likely to see more three-safety looks — pretty common in college football — in the NFL this season.


                          Are there any plays or developments in CFB that you expect to see in the NFL? — Michael B

                          Though using three safeties isn’t anything new in college and NFL teams have dabbled with it, I think this year we’ll see teams actually make it a bigger part of their defenses based on how some teams drafted and coach’s comments made afterward. The Ravens drafted Kyle Hamilton with their first pick even though they already had two very good safeties in Chuck Clark and Marcus Wiliams, who they signed in free agency. Though some of that was value-based, their new defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald used three safety packages with the University of Michigan and I can’t imagine they are just going to have quality players sit on the bench.

                          One of Macdonald’s Michigan safeties, Dax Hill, got drafted in the first round by the Bengals. Like the Ravens, the Bengals already have two good safeties (Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell). In the press conference after the Bengals picked Hill, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo talked about using three safety packages in the past and expressed his excitement for how they’ll use Hill.

                          The Chargers have Derwin James and Nasir Adderley. After drafting JT Woods in the third round, head coach Brandon Staley said they drafted him to play deep, which would free James to move around the defense.

                          Safeties are often more versatile than linebackers or traditional nickels. They can play deep, play underneath zones, fit the run and some have the man-to-man ability. Getting more versatility on the field obviously can be very useful against modern offenses.
