I was wondering what you guys think on a few items. In your opinion, what do you gain and lose using cov1, cov2, cov3, cov4, cov5 and man coverage. And lastly what do you gain and lose in various fronts such as 3-3-5, 4-3, 4-4, 50 etc. Thank you in advance.

Albeit a good question, there is waaaaaaaay to much ground to cover there. I would suggest you shorten it such as comparing cover 2 to cover 3 or a 5 man front to a 4 man front. And even then I think you will find that alot of the answers you are looking for may have more to do with philosophy than anything else.
Good luck in your quest!

I know one thing. The Colts cover 2 made Brees look pretty average the other night. Shut him down hard. I don't know why or how, but it was impressive. Only got 29 points in my Fantasy League...  |

I don't know much about it, but I've seen it used and abused at the high school level here in Kansas. It (Cover 2) doesn't seem to be a good choice unless you can get pressure with you're front 4 and you have good secondary players. It looks to me like your corners don't have to be burners, but they need to be well coached and be able to adjust. I'm now coaching for a team that is quite honestly not very good at all, but we won Friday night because the other team was much worse. They played Cover 2 most of the night and slant routes from the #1's killed them constantly. Of course everything else did too, but I guess that might be because their DT was about 5'5'' 120lbs!
Anyway, my point is, from this admitted novice with Cover 2, it seems like you better have well coached CB's and good/great safeties. Most teams I've seen in this area should stay away from Cover 2.

All depends who you have doing the covering in all those schemes as well as who you have upfront applying the pressure. It's partly who you are defending and partly who you are.

I've never seen a team in our area run a 3-4. Over the course of the past two weeks, I've seen four teams run it. They did very well against spread, wingt and a multiple offense. Is 3-4 the answer? No, but it could be. Decide on a system and go for it. make tweaks as you go.
