robber clarification

You can play it both ways. I look at our personal and what the offense does best out of Twins. Against a Twins team that is looking to get the OLB widened out I'd look at Cover 3 so the OLB can play the run first. When we play man vs. Twins we'll play man free if my OLB is a good coverage man and we feel we need the FS to play over the top or as a safety valve against the run. I like to keep someone back so I like Man-Free as my first choice. If we want to keep 8 in the box we will run straight man with the FS covering the Slot. This is not a Robber answer, however.

If you bring the corner over and the TB motions to the TE side we have the FS go with him. You can have the MLB go with the TB or have the OLB cover the motion and have the MLB be responsible for the TE.

We like to have the FS go with backfield motion as a base in Man Free. That way you have a rule for motion in case you face a team that you weren't expecting motion from. You can adjust the rule for certain teams if you feel that you can get a better match-up. Again I go back to what does the offense do best and how can we put our kids in the best position to cover it and still be sound.

I hope I'm making sense. There really is a lot of ways to cover Twins. I feel that you should have a base rule in order to keep the defense sound and then make adjustments according to the scouting report.
