So I was having a conversation with @RJ_Writes and @JuMosq off of the conversation @CoachCogan had yesterday about the idea of a “conflict” player. So I briefed them on the three ways (imo) you go about eliminating run fit issues in 2 high.

#1: Max out the fit with DBs, like C0.
#2 LBs, fitting like Tampa 2 or Tuff 4

Kicks a DB out of the fit, but concedes the throw attempt. In the Cover 7 world that people are so fascinated by, this is like 7 Mix.

#3 is with the DL, playing a Two-Gap-One-Gap technique to fit the run. This lets backers fit the ball instead of any gaps. This kicks all DBs out of the fit. The ball will be handed off, goal is to make it bend wide and outside for LBs to scrape over. https://streamable.com/clj1gq
