This is Cover 3 my favorite type of defense to base out of. I will go into how I run this defense as my base and what adjustments I make in the incoming videos. Just like what I did with the cover 2 series part 1 is just an explanation and history of the defense.


First video I go over the base cover 3 play call which is Sky. I talk about who has responsibility as the force defenders. I also talk about how the 8 man front reads and reacts to plays.




In video #2 I go over an adjustment with in the cover 3 which is called cloud. I talk about the alignment and how it allows you disguise your cover 3. I explain why I feel it's adjust vs heavy passing offenses. Good play call to take away those dreaded buttons and outs that plague the cover 3.




In video #3 I go over another adjustment within the cover 3 which is called buzz. I talk about how this is a good defense to defend pass and run. I normally make this adjustment vs spread teams. I talk about 43 under alignment and why I like it.




In video #4 I'm using the cover 3 defense against a user who is using Oregon. This user also is using no huddle. I show why no huddle is so effective then I show what adjustments I make to slow it down.
