Man Coverage
- The 2 Man Under defenses have the best press in the game.
- This allows your pass rushers extra time to get after the QB.
Zone Coverage
- Use Cover 4 to mix up your play calling with the 2 Man Under.
- This is a great defense for third and long situations.
Man Blitz
- Pressure will be quick, so be ready for a throw to the flats.
- If your corners get beaten off the line of scrimmage it will result in a big play.
Zone Blitz
- User-control the deep FS over the middle of the field and jump any routes over the middle.
- The flats and deep seams will be very tender with this play.
