Throughout the playoffs, former NFL defensive back Matt Bowen will bring you his film study: a breakdown of personnel, matchups and scheme on the postseason stage.The cornerbacks in this defense will align in press and “pattern match” the vertical release. Think of man-coverage technique with Earl Thomas in the post and the four underneath defenders playing zone coverage (hook and curl-flat drops).
This allows the Seahawks to challenge the release and funnel the receivers to Thomas in the post while leaning on the speed of the second-level defenders underneath.
