Do our CBs travel? I thought Rud ran a field/boundary system for the CBs.

Thatā€™s not how those schemes work. I donā€™t think Jackson is assigned the best WR. The offense just lines up to attack his side.

It is, and Jackson is more often than not the CB that opposing teams are picking for their #1 WR. So heā€™s covering their best guy a majority of the time.

Hmmā€¦I think Iā€™m wrong. Iā€™ll have to look at some film to be sure, but the depth chart lists a RC and LC, so I think our corners stay on the same side of the field regardless of which hash the ballā€™s on or where individual WRs are lined up.

So whatā€™s odd to me is that Jacksonā€™s the RC and usually the LC gets thrown to more by right handed QBs. But of course, some offenses just like their best WRs to line up at the X position and thatā€™s generally the furthest left WR, facing the RC.

Anyway, I havenā€™t paid close enough attention to our defensive play to add any value to the discussion. Thanks to you guys who have and do.
