To answer the second question I make adjustments when the user attacks the def properly. What I mean by properly is they are attacking the weakness of the cover 2. There are plays that moves the weakness of cover 2 from one place to a different place. One example is switching who plays 2 deep. Those type of adjustments disguises the def.

Thanks for replying to this thread. I know its been a long time but hopefully you get this.

What I don't understand is what happens if they attack you vulnerability in the coverage and your adjustments at the same time? EX: cover 2 defense with a post route and an angle route from the rb and the rest verts. There just seems to be times when a certain coverage doesn't have the answers for certain route combinations.


Would you call a cover 3 out of a cover 2 shell or are all your calls strictly variations cover2. Example, Cover 2 blitz, 2 man, tampa 2, hard cover two, ect.

Or will you call other coverage's but just from a cover two look. Sorry if it seems like I'm asking the same question again I just want to make sure I understand properly.

Also where can I find information on different variations of each coverage so U know how to take away what my opponent is doing within my base defensive structure?
