Coaches,
I was wondering what preference most of you have for getting 9 in the box. We were predominately a 4-3 team last year and we did a number of things to get the extra safety in the box: man on the corners, 4 across zone, etc. We found that the best way seemed to be playing man coverage on #1 and playing our safeties 8x1 outside #2 and being our primary force players. Does anyone else play it this way? Is there a better way to play it with high school kids? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
