Four-wide exposes the depth pieces
The prediction
This secondary will allow a materially higher success rate against four-receiver sets than against three.
Thesis
Four-wide forces the fifth and sixth defensive backs onto the field, which is the unit's actual weak point.
Supporting evidence
- Snap concentration in the top three
- Limited four-wide exposure so far
Countercase
Some defenses answer four-wide with a linebacker match instead of extra defensive backs.
How it resolved
Hit
Gap between three- and four-wide was clear.
