I think it takes a season playing in one to really learn one. But I think part of the problem is that cover 2 funneled the action to the weak side lb. He could then make a play also he was allowed some range and freedom to flow to the action and his instincts took over. The cover 3 has much more responsibilities for the lbs, you can’t free roam like you can in the cover 2. And the action spot is more the middle lb spot.

But he has lost a step in his pursuit. He would always catch guys before.
