This is the definition of old school Ryan family wisdom. Love it.

I’ve been looking for a series of videos that clearly explain American football defences and I’m so glad I found this page,

Good stuff. Never thought of letting another guy be the hole player after trading him off. I always just let him keep running with him. Learned a new trick today to get the second crosser! Thanks Coach Ryan. Diggin the "Hywyan" Shirt too.

Can’t wait to see this run at USC next year! Fight On Rob! ✌️✌️✌️

[ChaseHallGoBuckeyes]

This was very well explained, thank you

Cover 1 looks good on paper but it’s mostly man on man and that leaves it up to the skill level of your receivers and corners. That free safety better be damn good at reading plays

[benny]

Hey Ryan, awesome video. Could you make a series explaining for all coverages in that way?

[fienddube]

I could listen to this guy talk about anything.

[johnn]

Good stuff, this is great when you have a lot of speed to burn.

[QBTDAcademy]

this is so well said can i steal this lol

[ZAPPED]

I learned all this from madden, but I still love to hear it explained to me.

[ethanniedorowski]

I would do anything for a day with the Ryan boys watching football hearing about Buddy (goat) dreaming

[CPorter-sh]

Football is like a game of physical chess. It's truly X/Os

[andrewomahony]

This is legit the only formation he ever ran with the Raiders.

[NSWvet]

Requires all-pro CBs. Also the patriots don't really run cover 1. It's basically cover 7, MOD, and or MEG all combined into cover 1 and 3....please explain coach.

[tacobill]

I'm pretty sure my grandma owns that Same shirt.

[wchutcheson]

Why don't more aspiring players and coaches watch more of these?

[XandoFootball]

Why has he not gotten a head coaching gig.

COWBOYS... HERE I COME... I KNOW IT ALL NOW....👊💙💪💯🏆🏆🏆💎🍻

Hey everyone Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS, HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
