The first thing you look for on Steelers film is how the opponent is defending Antonio Brown. The Steelers know it can’t be done with just one man, and so they often put Brown alone on the formation’s weak side. Ben Roethlisberger knows Brown will almost certainly attract some form of Cover 2 over there, leaving only so many coverages available on the other side. Brown’s alignment has a way of unmasking the defense.
When watching Patriots film, the first thing you look for is how they’re using their cornerbacks. It changes week to week, and like with Brown, it too tells the scheme’s story.
