The only thing I would be afraid of is the playaction against quarters. Having a safety bight on that te and he is wide open downfield.

They didn't just SIT in Quarters!

That would make sense. Their front 4 didn't change much EXCEPT maybe playing a 6 tech on TE.

Offensively - you PRE-SNAP read the Safeties for clue of Cover 2 or Cover 4, Etc. Confirm your read on the first two steps of the drop. CORNERS ARE LIARS, BUT THE SAFETIES GIVE AWAY EVERYTHING!!!

DEPTH FOR 2 SAFETY LOOKS:

1. 12 yards deep or more & favoring the hashes = COVER 2

2. 10-12 yards deep & favoring the #2 receivers = COVER 4

3. 8 yards or less deep & favoring the #2 receivers = COVER 0

EYES OF SAFETIES

1. What (rather, who) are the safeties looking at?

2. Are they looking at the QB, or are they looking at the man they are going to cover (watch the stripe of the helmet)?

PS: Feel free to PHONE if you want "in-depth" I can't give typing.

Thanks coach. I know that jimmy johnson played some under front stuff as well. I am assuming he got that from bud carson and the steelers in the 70's when he was dc for the pitt panthers. He loved using under 4-3 against I formation teams. Watch the 89 orange bowl if you doubt me.

EVERY 4-3 Coach I know of has a 4-3 Over AND a 4-3 Under. That's old stuff now.
