double tight double flanker & doubles

Robber v 2 back sets
Cover 1 vs 1 back sets

Thats our base coverage system, called on the field.

21 Personnel:

A couple of looks we like against them

Tiger Formation

Here is our Base defense against it:

31 Cover 1. We bring down the spur to the 5 tech side rather than move him out to a 7.

........................Y..T..G..C..G..T..Y
.........................S....T......N.....E...$

These are usually autos for the formations built into the system day 1:


22 Stack Cover 1 We let the two tackles switch it up a lot and tell the two backers which gap they will play into.

Eagle Formation

Really depends on what they are running out of this set but usually there will be some motion so we play 3 gap and 1 gap Cover 1 when NO Motion occurs, and with motion the FS is the adjustor and plays #2 to the motion, corner plays #1 and the Spur will blitz and play the motion M/M. The two tackles will shoot to the motion. No motion we play 31

22 Stack UP Cover 1: To be easy, we just call this "Eagle"

Pro Ace Formation

31 Cover 1

Base rules will dictate:
Motion to Pro trips $ wil play Motion #2 and Buc will play #3
Motion to Open trips $ will play Motion #2 and Buc/Mike will flip and Buc will play #3

OR our FS will be the adjustor for #3 and end up playing cover 0 and send the backer weak side having him blitz peel onto the back out his way. Depends on the team, situation, etc.... But we can do a bunch of little things with the FS/Buc/backside spur to change things up.

Doubles Formation

"Evil Cover 1"

We set into our Evil Front against most spread 0 TE sets. (4046) Auto shoot TO STUD.

Under center 2x2 no TE = Evil will set Wide side. MOF he sets Left.
Gun 2x2 no TE = Evil will set Away from back. Buc is to the back. (If they flip the back during the cadence, we just leave the front as we are balanced coving him, see below)
Open trips = Evil Trips side so he flushes away from the trips.

Buc sets OPPOSITE of Evil. That is how we keep things balanced with covering the back. Evil will peel onto back out his way. Buc will play back out his way. Evil is the free rusher and usually comes off untouched to pressure the Qb to either get rid of the ball or get himi running. Evil and Nose work the DE 2 on 1. If they fan block, Mike immediatly blitzes A gap. Because we are in Man coverage, Mike can focus right into A gap and if he sees an opening, he hits it. Someone ALWAYS comes free.

We are also shooting away from Evil so if Evil is to the right, Evil, Nose, tackle and Stud are all shooting to the left. Buc plays B gap, Mike plays A gap. If center plays the Tackle and the Guard fans, Mike auto blitzes.

Cover 1 behind because its 1 back

we also play our "22" front against the 2x2 formations. If it is dbl tight we walk our OLB's up to 9-techs. If they go dbl slot we walk our OLB's out on the #2 WR's. we play cover 1 in both situations.
