6/7 Man Pressure

Why do we use 6/7 Man Pressure?

Places stress on the Offensive Protection Offense is forced to keep RB in the backfield QB has very little time to get the ball off Attack protections/weak pass blockers Great for run and pass downs As long as you understand the concept, you can send any six or seven players you want, ie. Variety Its one of the reasons why you run a 3-4!!!

COVERAGE

Understanding the Coverage

Zero Coverage
1. You will ensure that the #1 and #2 receivers are covered
2. You will Spy the RB for release based on Blitz called

Basic Concept
Zero Coverage vs. 2x2 Set
CBs will cover #1s, Safeties will cover #2s, LBs/DL will account for #3
