 Time now for Kids Ask Coach Mack. I think this is Alaka, isn't it? Let's see. I am so excited. Hello, Coach Mack. My name is Alaka, and I'm eight years old. My question is, when you're watching a tape, how do you know if it's man-to-man defense or zone defense? That's a good question. How do you know when you watch a tape if it's man-to-man defense or zone defense? Oh, Alaka, what a great, great. You've clearly been watching football with members of your family that understand football. What a great, great question. Here's the best way. Look at the safeties. If there's a single safety in the middle of the field, most of the time, those corners are going to be in man-to-man. If it's a split safety with safeties like this lined up deep, then it's going to be a zone defense. So the first thing that you look at from a first glimpse from 30,000 feet is look and see where the safety is. If he's in the middle of the field, it's normally going to be man-to-man. If they're split, it's zone. How long did it take you to learn all of that? Probably longer than it's going to take Alaka to learn it because I'm not as smart as she is. And I know, I've met her. She's very smart. But I mean, learning all the coverages, all the blitzes, everything that went into calling defense, how long did it take you to learn all of that? I'm still learning. Really? Every year. Absolutely, every year. I talk to coaches every year to keep up with what's going on. You never quit learning about this game. It's a simple game, but it's very detailed. So the truth is, I never quit learning about it. Even though you've been doing this, you've been around the game for over 50 years, dating back to your time as a player. Something is always new. Something always comes up as a way that, you know, it's a ying and a yang between an offense and a defense. The offense will come up with something. Defense will come up with something to counteract it. I love learning all that stuff in the off-season. Well, I just learned something very interesting.
