Greetings:
We will be running a multiple 4-3 with cover 2 / 2 man as our base pass defenses for the first time this season. We sometimes see either a Pro I set with the FB / TB leading the QB attack the strong side perimeter, essentially a QB double blast. We're thinking about playing an over front (Sam on a 9 tech on the TE, Strong End on a 6 tech, strong tackle in a 3, weak tackle in a 0 weak, with Mike stacked head up on the strong side guard).
We're also considering playing a strong stack, where the strong side DE moves to a 8 tech on the TE, SAM stacked head up on the Tackle (our SAM is about 6-2, 230 lbs - in average shape - but getting better). Everyone else in the front essentially plays the same (DT, Mike).
We envision that we would align in a cover 2 look, with either Sky or Cloud call, where playside safety or corner flies up on a perimeter run indication, and the remaining secondary rotates to a cover 3 look.
Does this appear like a sound approach? Should we be instructing our Mike to press any playside gap, or scraping over the top and running? Usually the play tries to run tight.
This team also likes to run the midline option, which we feel comfortable in defending.
Thanks for your input.
