I think fans tend to oversimplify things. We're not going to play one coverage all night. Man, zone and combo coverages will all be a part of gameplan. I'm sure Aranda wants to throw a lot of different looks at the true freshman.




Of course I Agree, but my concern is Hurts using his legs to convert 3rd and long/medium. I'm interested to see what Aranda does to counter his biggest asset. Man coverage can be dangerous if he breaks a tackle or clears the LBs while the DBs are running down field. I'll be interested to see where Jamal Adams is on 3rd downs and how well the CBs can cover the WRs to force accurate throws.

Also, If Key can consistently get quick pressure on Hurts and force him to move out of the pocket and pick a side to escape, it will go a long way to shrinking the field and allowing the support to rally to a scramble.

Hurts running is my biggest concern as well, and not just on passing downs. He runs the zone read really well. Could use a spy on him. Also, I'm sure our dline will be told not to get out of their lanes and lose containment. Make Hurts sit in the pocket and throw it downfield.

Will be fun to see what Aranda comes up with.
