adjustments on the 4-3 to slot

Coach,

With our defense it depends on what you do most out of that formation and where you doi at. But, basically we play Cover 2 in the middle of the field and cover three on the hash. Now, if we want to stay in cover 2, is walk a backer out half way on the slot and the other backers would bump over accordingly. He would then read his backfield key. If sweep then he would expect a crack block by the slot and rip through it. If any other run to him then he would rread his run key (TB or near HB) and flow or press. If he gets a pass read then he would get to his zone. Again this is basic. Others may handle the slot differently. In cover three, the backers won't bump and strong corner with play the slot and and the slot is then his read. He gives a "crack" call on sweep to that side or "pass" call.
