Man Coverage

• This setup will send two of our best pass rushers off the left edge of the field.
• We are only rushing four defenders, but the pressure will be quick and the coverage will be tight.

Zone Coverage

• This setup is similar to our man coverage play.
• Our setup causes a stunt with the offensive line. This confusion helps our pass rush get after the QB.

Man Blitz

• Press coverage will slow down our opponent’s reads.
• The Patriots have solid pressing CBs, so this play can be difficult for offenses to beat.

Zone Blitz

• This blitz sends six pass rushers after the QB.
• The goal here is to get two free pass rushers against the QB to force a throw into coverage.
