I think it is a cover 1 but I have never seen the FS that close to the line of scrimmage on a cover 1 before.

Looks like a cover 0 man under to me.

Man "under" meaning short distance?

No, meaning the underneath coverage is man instead of zone.

Agreed, Cover 0 Man coverage underneath.

Best for giving up big pass plays.

Cover 0. The FS would stay back on cover 1.

What setting would get the SS to stick to the TE like that?

Cover 1 takes the SS out of zone, and he usually covers the TE if he doesn't blitz.

Cover 0 is always man; hat on hat, so there is no need to identify the underneath coverage. If you are ever confused - because of sometimes awkward positioning at the snap - just watch the safety (usually the FS).

In this case, he was man-up on the TE from the start, making it easy to identify all-man coverage.

Cover 2 = FS and SS play at the specified coverage distance ( short, medium, long ) in zone coverage
Cover 1 = FS still in zone, SS is man coverage, usually to TE
Cover 0 = no one in zone, SS usually on TE, FS usually doubling up on a CB
