This is a followup to the 4 plays win state thread that went another direction. THIS IS JUST A POLL. You don't have to reveal yourself or explain (or try to) why your scheme is better than the other guy. It's just a poll. IF you MUST give the details of your Cover 2 Robber Zone 1/2 Blitz with a full twist go ahead. Just thought this would a nice friendly question.  |

50-50
Most teams we play can't pass, so manning up and blitzing works
BUT,
Manning up and blitzing gets you out of your run fits, so we'll go zone versus a great back

primarily zone, but run decent amount of man (ESPECIALLY this year.....with two great corners)
Mainly, to constipate offenses and minimize our personnel liabilities.
We should have some good athletes this year, but keeping all things consistent against all opponents has us preferable towards a cover 3 base.
How much man we run will be dependent on how good our DL is and how bad our weakest coverage defender is (SILB).

I'm not afraid of man but zone is more sound,

We are mostly zone...man would be a poor matchup for our kids. We are the smallest school in the conference (except for a parochial school) and we seldom have superior athletes. Zone gives our guys a pretty good chance to compete.

quarters-based (2 safety based) matchup zone is pretty tough. when db's can pattern read to determine who they got it is a beeotch because it can keep you from doing what you normally would do vs say "cover 2" , or whatever.
the quarters-shell allows you to transition to the other coverages very well, also ---- man, halves, roll (sky or cloud), etc.

When I grow up, I want to run this kind of defense. |

One of the reasons I'm 3-4 convert because of the multiple coverages that you can give a offenses along with the multiple pressures. Easy to stay zone and play games. |

we have flat out better athletes than anyone we play so we can afford to have our guys man up all game and still be safe

We played zone coverage with our ms kids, "why"=cause I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to keep the offense from using motions and stuff to move my players out of position at will! Although, zone coverage eventually becomes mtm coverage in a lot of cases to me!

1/2 and 1/2...I try to keep the opposing OC guessing as well as that 17 year old QB.
Shoot, I'll admit it, I just like to bring lots of heat!

Mostly man...have had more success making sure every eligible receiver is covered.

Being a MS coach, we run zone every down. KISS, we don't see too many MS QB's who are going to consistently shred us if we play sound zone D.
