43 Cover 4 keys and reactions

Cornerbacks read #1 to #2 and Safeties read #2 to #1. If #1 goes vertical, the corner goes vertical. This is standard.

Uncovered lineman-- OT to the TE side; OG away from the TE side. Secondary sees high hat=pass

I would like to keep this thread going a little more.

As I'm understanding things, if I'm a corner and read #1 releasing inside I'm going to check #2. If #2 does not enter my zone either, at what point will I start squeezing the field and where do the eyes go next? Let's make this both a 2x2 situation and a 3x1 open situation.

Thanks,

Todd

vs. 2X2 and 3X1 we check "White" and we are getting vertical at the snap. We are done pattern reading... we are playing 4 deep with the mike running up the middle and the will/sam covering curl to flat. You can never be outnumbered deep!
