The first run, it appears the safety seen on screen goes before the handoff even happens and then when the replay is shown again from the other angle, the other safety just runs to sideline and stands there. My guess is that he's in some type of zone coverage.

The second run, the one safety runs toward the line, but away from the running back. Then the other safety again appears to be in some type of zone and just goes to his spot which is the opposite way where the running back is going and that leads to a huge gain until he can finally make the tackle.

At the 1:12 mark theres a toss play and one corner seems to go in right away, but maybe that's a corner blitz. Not sure if you guys know what play is called for each replay to know if thats the case. Then the safety that is at the bottom right hand of the screen drops back and never goes after the running back once he cuts back and goes towards the middle. It seems maybe that these guys in zone just drop back into there area instead of going to the back when it's a run. I wonder what it might be like against an all zone play. Thanks again for feedback!
Good points...I'll take a look at these today.
