In the last four games without Jones, that number has dropped to 31% man coverage in primary zone-heavy game plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One of the main reasons for the switch is Jones\u2019s replacement in the slot, Myles Bryant, is taking on a much larger role and is at his best in zone coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cJon [Jones] is a big loss for us. Obviously, Myles [Bryant] has taken a lot of snaps there,\u201d Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said last week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Playing under defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake at the University of Washington, Bryant played both nickel corner and safety in a coverage system that resembled New England\u2019s versatility: man, zone, mostly single-high safety, but some two-high safety as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still, we\u2019ve seen Bryant\u2019s prowess in zone coverage over the last few weeks with the Pats\u2019 shift, and his versatility to play multiple spots in the defense stands out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CURL\/FLAT IN COVER-THREE\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Starting with his primary role in the game plan recently, the Patriots have played a league-high 40 drop-backs in cover-three zone structures over the last two games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In that coverage, Bryant, who starts over the slot, will drop into the curl\/flat window along the sideline underneath the outside corner playing the deep-third zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91741-1\" width=\"788\" height=\"440\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantCurlFlat.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantCurlFlat.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantCurlFlat.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, the Panthers try to flood the deep third by sending two vertical stems upfield to the quarterbacks left. With Bryant dropping into the curl\/flat zone, he passes off the seam route to outside corner Jalen Mills and falls underneath the deep out along the sideline to force an incompletion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At times, we\u2019ll also see Bryant as a middle hook defender in cover-three, but the Pats are mostly having him drop to the sideline from over the slot as a man-zone disguise before the snap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SEAM\/HOOK IN COVER-TWO\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another primary coverage call for the Patriots nowadays is cover-two, which they play to keep offenses off-balance on early-downs and occasionally on third-and-short situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bryant will play as the seam-hook defender over the slot. His primary responsibility is to drop with any inside vertical route and read the quarterback to react to underneath throws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91741-2\" width=\"788\" height=\"464\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantPBUFinal.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantPBUFinal.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantPBUFinal.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this play, Bryant plays a cat-and-mouse game with Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Earlier, he blitzed from the slot, so he dances around as he might add into the rush. By disguising pressure, Bryant gets Herbert to throw \u201chot\u201d over the middle to Keenan Allen, and Bryant flashes his click-and-close in zone to break up the pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cPOACH\u201d DEFENDER IN \u201cHOT\u201d COVERAGE<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Along with his coverage ability, Bryant flashed his open-field tackling from both man and zone coverage against the Panthers last week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-91747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-300x192.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-600x383.png 600w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM-450x287.png 450w, https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-10-at-3.38.53-PM.png 811w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/ftw.usatoday.com\/2020\/08\/getting-home-clemson-hot-coverage-blitz-nfl-innovation\">USA Today<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here is a unique coverage scheme that the Patriots played in Sunday\u2019s win called a \u201chot\u201d coverage: a three-deep, two-under zone blitz scheme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91741-3\" width=\"788\" height=\"452\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantStickFinal.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantStickFinal.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantStickFinal.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the scheme, Bryant\u2019s job as a \u201cpoach\u201d defender is to stay in the passing lane for the seam route if the quarterback looks in his direction and react to any throws underneath. The opposite \u201cpoach\u201d defender, J.C. Jackson, rallies back to the middle of the field when Darnold\u2019s eyes go away from him. Once Darnold commits to throwing the shallow crosser to Moore, Bryant is free to break on the ball and lay the wood, which he does with authority here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Without Bryant\u2019s read-and-react skills there, that could\u2019ve been a much bigger play for Carolina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">MAN COVERAGE\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lastly, the Patriots will always play some man coverage on the backend as long as Belichick runs the defense, and Bryant has a few different roles in those man schemes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91741-4\" width=\"788\" height=\"442\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantManTackle.mp4?_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantManTackle.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/BryantManTackle.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, his primary responsibility is to play man coverage on D.J. Moore out of the slot. By playing at different levels than Mills on the outside, the Pats avoid the pick play for Moore\u2019s slot fade. With Bryant staying over the top of Moore\u2019s route, Darnold works the check-down against man coverage on Robby Anderson\u2019s shallow crosser. Bryant peels off Moore and comes down to make the open-field tackle to stop Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Along with playing in man coverage, the Pats will also use Bryant as a blitzer from man looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91741-5\" width=\"788\" height=\"453\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SlotBlitz.mp4?_=5\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SlotBlitz.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SlotBlitz.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this play, the Pats use a backend rotation to send Bryant into the rush. Devin McCourty comes down to replace Bryant in man coverage, Adrian Phillips rotates back to play post safety and Bryant blitzes. The post-snap movement causes Herbert to hold the ball, giving Bryant time to get home on the blitz and force a throwaway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots have a long-standing history of discovering defensive back talent in undrafted free agency and developing those players into key contributors in their defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Big names include current top corner J.C. Jackson, Jonathan Jones, Malcolm Butler, and now Bryant is the latest to follow the same developmental path as others before him in New England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAll of that\u2019s up to them,\u201d Belichick said about the UDFA success in the secondary. \u201cWhatever those guys accomplish, they earn. We just try to coach them. They got opportunities, and guys who earn roster spots, earn playing time, earn it. It\u2019s not anything we can just give away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although the Pats miss one of their defensive leaders in Jones, Bryant is filling in just fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots&#8217;
