I remember reading a thread about how WR1-5 is defined for the coverage (man coverage) but now i cant find it.

Is the following ranking correct?

WR
TE
RB
FB

So a formation with 2WR, 2TE and 1RB, it will look something like this:
WR1 - WR1
WR2 - WR2
TE1 - WR3
TE2 - WR4
RB - WR5

Is this correct or am this is more complex than that?

e: Notes on Advanced Defensive Game Planning - Part 3 - Assignments 21 Tab Driven M2M

Disclaimer one: If you're reading this, then you likely know the drill already. These are my notes, so take them as you will. Feel free to comment on anything that you particularly disagree with.

Disclaimer two: This is probably the last of these that I'm going write for a long time. There is too much going on at work for me to play this game at a high level, so I'll be paring back my time and leagues in the coming weeks.

This thread builds on some concepts developed in these two threads:

*Basic defensive game planning: https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/community/3/3581
*Advanced defensive game planning: https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/community/3/3791

I've been mulling this a while, but it's time to put it out there. If you have read through the other threads, you know that my defenses focus on running a Cover 5 M2M (it also blends Cover 3/4 techniques but that's a different thread). You also know that I spend a lot of time in base, normal backfield defense against the 113 and 203 because of how the running plays in those sets exploit the nickle. What I haven't really talked about is how I build that Cover 5. So here goes...

The Method
If you get nothing more from this thread, memorize this - if you are not using the Assignment tab to dictate your defensive plays, you probably don't know who is actually covering who.

Each defensive play has an Assignments tab that tells you what position your defenders are covering on a given play. In the basic thread, I talked about how you can use this tab to make sure that you have the WR1-5 covered. Now, let's dig into this more.

First a quick reminder. Here's what WR1-5 mean:

*Against the 221: WR1, TE1 (WR2), TE2 (WR3), HB (WR4), FB (WR5)
*Against the 212: WR1, WR2, TE (WR3), HB (WR4), FB (WR5)
*Against the 203: WR1, WR2, WR3, HB (WR4), FB (WR5)
*Against the 113: WR1, WR2, WR3, TE (WR4), HB (WR5)
*Agaisnt the 122: WR1, WR2, TE1 (WR3), TE2 (WR4), HB (WR5)

I think this is what you are looking for , you can find the rest in setherics' posts in the threads for new beginners.

Thanks!
