Lining up on 3rd down and seeing Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald has to be very not fun for QBs man lol

This is important context in the Drew Lock vs Sam Darnold discussion.

The schemes Sam has faced vs teams like Chicago (and DEN/KC to lesser extent) are very different than what Drew faced vs Arizona. Makes a big difference for the QB, especially without a run game.

2-Man is a dying coverage.

Currently, the NFL is on pace to finish with fewer than 250 snaps of the coverage.

With mobile quarterbacks becoming the norm, the coverage's value has plummeted.

But against Seattle, Dennis Allen did something completely unique in the modern game: he used the coverage against heavier personnel.

On MatchQuarters, I've discussed how the multi-TE meta is offenses cosplaying for the passing game.

Against Sam Darnold, Allen didn't take the bait and leaned into his new DT, Jeffery Simmons' dominance.

Learn how Chicago used Allen's 2-Man toolbox to counter the play-action passing concepts of the Seahawks:
