How do most of you run support vs. Toss in Cover 3?

The HC likes the CB coming up for run and the FS over the top for Halfback pass (which has toastd us several times)

I like the CB into his deep third and the FS through the Alley. The backside CB can rotate to the deep middle.

I just can't seem to get the FS over there to stop a completion.

We stress to read keys and DBs to play pass first. If our corner reads run he is to attack outside in, FS fills the alley and backside CB takes a deep pursuit angle. We have been beat on halfback pass before but we stress that the DB's have to read their keys and not run support until they are being blocked. We rep it a lot and they figure it out.

Excellent Choice.

I think most of us teach Cover 3 secondary players to make a tackle for a 5-10 yard gain, not come up and force at the line.
