Thoughts on cover 2 man under

If you have the horses to run it, it can be really tough to beat, especially if you have 2 safeties that can come up and hit on the run. Be sure whoever you have covering your #2 receiver is good enough to get an awful quick run/pass read. I would be concerned against 4 wide, that only leaves you 5 in the box, I would think most teams could get 3 yds. a carry no matter how good your safeties are. We run it quite a bit on long yardage, especially against teams that like to max protect.

A welll coached defensive unit is going to use a lot of disguised looks in this day and time. As Bill (one back) points out, one of the real strengths of this defense is the ability to easily disguise it. I would work on stemming to it a lot, as well as, aligning in it. Not really a big fan of stemming on the high school level, as the kids seem to have a way of getting to far out of position, but when it is necessary in making a disguise work well I would work hard and coach toward perfection in getting it done correctly. Just a sugestion as always.
