Palms/Quarters/Quarters Press - where should DBs look

DC from Europe here - kinda high school level - some kids with a bit of experience, some who have never seen football in their life.

My playbook is based on palms coverage, played a bit like quarters - so from 7yds off, but CB traps short out routes under 5 yds (apart from RB in the flat, RB is always LB responsibility). We've been pretty successful on defense so far, but I want to have even more solid, disciplined defense. The only thing that worries me with this system (but didn't have this issue yet) - #2 short out, CB traps it but #1 on go route outsprints my safety.

The other thing I struggle with a bit - what DBs keys should be. What I try to teach them - key the QB for first 3 read steps - you should know by then if it's some short route, deep route or run, solely by seeing their drop and if there was a hand-off. Then eyes should go on #2 WR - if at this point he's running out it means corner should trap it. Otherwise both CB and Safety play #1 and #2 MEG respectively.

I have just a few kids who play it very well, others seems to struggle with this read. I wonder - shall I tell them to just read #2 for read steps, but then I may lose run help, or keep as is and it's all matter of reps? Even though we're successful so far, I'm afraid of teams that may actually start flooding me and completing this out routes/go routes if DBs mess up.

As a side note, what I plan to add in upcoming weeks - Narduzzi style press quarters which seems to be natural extension of what we have now, and can be a bit of help if we're getting beat by other offenses.

What to look at during practice

I’m DC from Europe, so not so many good advices around here.

What do you guys look at during practice team periods? I got the offensive script, know what to expect, know where offense wants to hit us. I can see at most 2, 3 guys playing a single play. Coach them, help them, and move on to the next play.

Then I watch drone recording and see that some guys made a mistake play after play which went unnoticed. Do you guys have any system - watch particular players, see the play type and then focus on part of field or somehow else?

Evenstream PostgreSQL CDC - pretty nice solution

I tried Eventstream: Azure PostgreSQL CDC -> DeltaFlow -> Eventhouse with Postgres in Private Network. It took me 15 minutes to set it up. I threw at it 10k rows/sec, which as for an OLTP is considered kinda extreme. It ate it at a rate of 2k rows/sec, so kinda high. There was a delay, of course, but as for out-of-the-box solution with little to no configuration from me, I'd say it's pretty good. Probably if I configured it more it'd be better. And it all fits in F8.

On screenshot - 1.8mln rows in 15 minutes window.

I have a client who is needs to migrate workspace to another region. They don't use GIT, for whatever reason (...), so I need to download all the items via fabric cli and push them to another workspace. Do the same with unsupported stuff via API. Then move data in OneLake with az copy. On top of it do manually what couldn't be migrated.

Since I got to do it anyway, I though about building a tool for a community that will do it automatically, BUT - do you think is it anyhow needed? I don't want to waste my time on building something that no one will use (not even me in future).
