Because the components are independent, this will give us a great deal of flexibility. The Rover and Free Safety will control their half of the formation. The half technique chosen will depend on Hash, Down & Distance, Formation, Receiver Splits, Personnel, and Game Plan. The half side calls are both man and zone. Generally we will call one of two fronts. If two calls are given “Base Even / Sara”, the Mike LB will set the front either according to the TE or how the backs are set. If “Load” is checked to Trey set, this will indicate “Base” as the front to be played. Load will also indicate that the Rover will come across on the ‘Trey/Trips Open set. We may also call “Base (G)", “Even (G)", “Base G-7" or “Even 9” as Hard Calls. Sara may stand-alone as’ a call, or we will call Component Halves as part of the call. Press Stick Sara for example. The first ‘alll indicates the strong side; the second call indicates, the weak side. Often we will attach our flood calls also, Stab Stick Sara (Flood), (Exchange), (Special). We will also call just one component. Press Sara, or Sara Stick. It is a strong side call if itis placed before Sara, and a weak side call if placed after Sara. ‘THE HALF SIDE CALLS Zone Calls + ‘ ' 1.¢”Stab” ~ A form of two degp, with the outside comer playing a Flat (Area 1) technique, outside-in on the receiver. (Either Bump FlateNormal Flat, or Roll Flat) The Rover or the Free Safety will be playing a Deep Half Post Clue Technique, to the flanker (Z receiver). In our “Stab” to the strong side the Sam will play the TE Man to Man, using normal vertical principals. The Inside Linebacker to the Stab side will be an Area - 2, Vertical #2 (#3) defender. This, could be a back in the backfield, ot a displaced back to his side. 2, “Stick” — Similar to’ above ‘except that the Comer will play inside-out on the receiver. You are the primary Force defender. If pass shows, widen and push the receiver to the outside. Stick comer can play Bump Stick, Normal Stick, or Roll Stick. Comer hide your intentions, you will not get cut-off by the receiver, you must be inside. Inside Linebacker to the “Stick” side you are an Area - 2, Vertical #2 defender. Safety to “Stick” your have a Lock Technique on the receiver.

Rover is the Post Defender. “Cover Sara” - Our base cover, most often used. A combination man / zone cover. It is made up of half field components. The Free safety and Rover will control their half. (See “Sara” section) “Cover Sally (Fieid)” - This cover is a2 deep, 3 under zone, with the Corners playing “Soft Flat”. Gallv will also be a comporient in the Sara package.) This will be a Nickel cover as well. “Cover Special” - This will be check, not a called cover by itself, that we will play vs 3x 1 sets. (Trey, Trips, Trips Open, Lite/I Twin, etc.) This cover is overloaded toxthe 3-receivey side and man on the 2-réceiver side. We will attach this call with another cover, “Sara Special” for example “Cover Exchange” ~ Like “Special” ihit will be a check to 3 x 1 sets. A “Sally” Technique will be deployed to the 3-receiver side Man backside, with a Post defender. . : e Gpoer Wolf — A zves ve Trgs or Twin sets only. Comer fo the Sxesver side play a “Stick” technique’ Rover and Corner who travels will play deep qufrter techniques. All other defenders will play “Exchang6.” “Cover Load” ~ Normally used with the Sara Scheme. “Sara Load”. Used vs a Trey set when the Rover will travel to the slot receiver and play one of the Sara techniques, “Cora” for example. “Cover Tampa” ~ This is a-“Stab* or “Soft Stab” technique by the Comer Safeties will play a “Deep Half” technique. Linebackers play Area Zones undemeath. Normally used with the Sara scheme. Can be used vs a receiver with a tighter than normal split. “Covers Gold, White, Silver. Brown” - All pressure coverages. See pressure section.DUCK COVERAGE DESCRIPTION, ‘Our coverage system is divided into three basi¢ categories. 1. Zone ~ These covers are generally indicated by a number. Cover 3. Cover 5. Ora combination of two covers, Cover 3 ~5. 2. Pressure — Normally indicated by a color. Covers White, Silver, Brown, and Gold are all examples of coverages when we are blitzing. Our exception to this is Cover Red; this is our Man Free Cover vs One Back. Cover 1 is our Man Free vs Two Backs. 3. Combination Man | Zone - Normally indicated by using a word. Examples would include Sara, Special, Exchange, Bracket, or Kick. We will, as needed, make two coverage calls in the huddle. "This will give us the Alexibility to check our cover according to sets. For example, "Sara 3”, "Sara Red”. The Sara scheme often has two components called with a 3x1 cover called as well. For example, “Press Stick Sara Special”. In an effort to make all the covers look'the same, we will run the comers across with any motion or alignment in Twig or Trips set with only a TE on the opposite side, regardless of man or zone. If we do not want to run the corners across, we will may make a “Field” or “Stay” call. This means that the corners will stay right and left. “Field” will indicate that the FS, Sam LB, and Mike LB align to the Field, Rover and Willy will align to the boundary, regardless of the formation. We will also have certain covers where the Comers are 7Frozen” to their particular side, Right and Left. : A “Wheel” technique is used by the Free Safety & Rover to exchange responsibilities. - COVERS “Cover 3” ~ A thiree deep, four inder zone. We'will play 3 to any set. IfBail” is added to the call, “3 Bail”, the comers will run a “bail” technique. “Cover 5” ~ A three deep, four under zone with a weakside comer “Stab”. “The Free Safety and Strong Comer play quarters, while the Rover and Weak Corner play “stab”. We will normally play Cover 5 vs a Trey set._ Normal Set ° O° ° ° 4 ° 00€000 : e ae : : eo irons 7. ee yas tae 4 j ont (on J Fs | 4 a + TREES pot Tagetom Lit tu Tain tet oO q O- 4 a Fs 4 e ayo y sg Hindle a g I e Sover 3- Wil be played vs ll sat.

The outside Comer plays a Soft Flat Technique. Key.#2 for the flat route, if no threat run with #1 deep. The Deep Half defender, Rover or Free Safety, will also key #2. If flat route work to #1. If vertical by #2, run with that route. (This turns into quarters coverage) The Sam and Willy have Area -2 Arrow Swing Technique. Mike is an Area ~3 defender. 4, “Tampa” - This is our true Two Deep. This will be called as a component half or as a coverage call on both sides. Corners will play Stab Technique. Safeties will play a true Deep Half Field Technique, like Apache. Often times we will use this as a check vs motion to or align in a flanker (2) tight formation 50 we can play zone. Sam plays Area-2. Mike = Area~3. Willy = Area — 2, Vertical 2. Comers will play a Soft Stab vs tight split by “Z.” Man Calls 1. “Connie” + Generally played to a TE and Flanker with a normal to wide split. But this can and will be played to a receiver in a tight position with a split receiver aligned normal to wide. (Bombers or Quads for example) The outside Cogner plays a Lock Technique assuming no post help, but you will have curl help. ‘This will enable the Corner to help on the Arrow & Up route. _,. The Safety, either Free Safety. or the Rover, plays a Vertical #2 Robber Technique. Safety align at 8 yards deep inside the TE, do not align deeper than this, you must be a factor in the run. You are a “Fill” defender with run strong and “Cutback” with run weak. If #2 runs vertical, play him man. (A vertical route will be considered a Go, Post, Corner, and any drag route where the release of #2 is “on top” of the inside linebacker.) If #2 runs an arrow route, rob'the curl/post by #1. If a drag route‘under the inside linebacker help to #1 Post route. (Game plan may dictate a rob to #1 weak.) The Outside Linebacker, possibly the Rover in Bombers, plays the Arrow- ‘Swing-Force Technique on either #2 or #3. The ILB to the Connie side, generally the Mike, plays Area ~ 2:Vertical #3. ILBs, as a general nile think of the Sara Scheme as Cover 3 drops with Vertical responsibilities. Safety, you have vertical responsibility on who becomes #2. So you must be aware of an off-set back running vertical, Heavy, Split, or Strong set 2. “Press” - This is a Short or Tight Connie. The Strong Comer will play a Press Technique. Safety does not have to rob the curl vs the arrow by:the TE. Sam linebacker, you are Arrow-Swing Defender only if #2 takes you to these routes, otherwise you are an Area~2 Defender.3. “Cora” ~ Generally played to Twin receivers or receivers that are aligned in a normal to’tight split, 10 yards or less. The outside DB plays man on #1 but will key #2 If #2 runs an out from 0 ~8 yards, then the outside DB calls “Do It!” and plays #2 man. If #2 does not run an out the outside DB plays man‘on #1, working to inside position. Generally the outside DB aligns 7 to 8 yards deep to the outside and will begin his movement with a control backpedal. ‘The inside DB is man on #2 unless he runs an out up to 8 yards, and the ‘outside DB calls “Do It!” The inside DB then drives to play man on the #1 receiver. Inside DB must be at 12 yards deep in order to get to the Go or Corner route by #1 if #2 runs the out from 0-8. The Arrow-Swing-Force defender will be the Rover in a Twin Set, Sam in a Bombers Set. The Willy will be the Arrow-Swing-Force in Wide, Trips, Quads. Willy must also call “Texas” (or other appropriate leverage call) to enable him to “Seal By Alignment”. Hang to the inside on the:curl route, and leverage (stay ‘on top) of the swing route. Do Not Get Influenced. 4. “Lock” - This will refer to the defensive backs being locked on man to their side. If, for example, in a Twin set the splits are too big.to run a Cora, Lock may be called. (See Technique Section) 5:“Load” ~ Load will refer to the Rover adjusting to the displaced back in a Trey set. If “Sara” is called, we will check “Load” to Trey. The Rover and the Free Safety will run a Cora Technique. Load = Base Front. ~The Samm LB will be an Area 3-21 Defender. 6. “Bracket” / “tone” ~ Two defenders playing one receiver. This will be a ‘Corner and a Safety. The Corner will overplay all outside breaking routes, go for the interception onthe opt. The Safety will get depth and back-up the comer for, any double route. Comer can use a “Convert” Technique. Safety aligned at 0, will overplay all inside rofites, go for the interception * ‘The comer will back you up and get depth. With any Go or Post route both defenders will run deep. Safety can also call Apache. (See Technique Section) 7. “Short & Full Vice” - The Safeties or the Linebackers will use this technique. ‘Vice is a'Trail Technique from 3 low inside alignanent position. Run a “banana route” to the fitst receiver, inside arid unidemeath. Take away all short routes knowing the corner will play all deep routes. A Short Vice is up to 15 yards. If the receiver goes deep the defender will zone off and look back to the inside. A Full Vice will have you Trail the route vs deep routes also.

We first need to be in an attack mode to be able to stop the run in short yardage. We also need to be able to deal with the boot and the slant pass. We will ty to free up thé Rover in order to gain more help in the A & B geps. In order to do this. X (our LB) will need to be responsibie for the siam release (flow away) of the Tight end. This will be a problem for containmeat so we will put the Rover and X into the boundary whenever the ball is on the hash. [f we are especially worried about the boot we will piay the Rover in a 70 and call X read. On slam release and full flow away, X will go and contain the QB. 7. oO--ce--= oO S § ° 2 3 _ t g — it =Jover Bracket - The Safties will “bracket” any two receivers according to set/game plan.

Vs. a single receiver side the Rover of Free Safety will play a" Vice" or “Short Vice" Technique. This will help with run support to that side, Apache techniques may be a part of several coverages.

We can vary the personnel to make the group either Nickel or Dime. Generally we will use this group in passing situations and offensive personnel substitutions. ‘We can run all of our Duck coverages as well as the following. Alignments Nickel = Normally a comer will be substituted. Falcon Covers ~ Two Backs = Weak Back (Bombers = Slot) ‘One Back = Displaced Back SS = Our SS will be a defensive back, but could be a Sam-LB. Align to the TE side regardless of the number of backs. If no TE, align to the fourth receiver. If Bombers, align to the Weak Back. Will = Two backs align to the strong back. (One Back align to the TE side, alignment varies on coverage. Mike = Two backs align weak, * ‘One back = align over remaining back. (Cover will vary alignment) Gover Descriptions 4 t 1. “Apache” - Two deep zone, five under man. We will play vs any set. The Safeties have the ability to control the Corners, in that if a split is'too wide by an outside receiver, the Safety may “Lock” that comer, then play the half over the inside receivers. 2. “Bracket” ~The Safeties will Bracket any two receivers according to set/game plan. We will also Bracket out of the “Frisco” alignment. (One Safety in the box.) Bracket is not a true double cover, although it can be, generally we will pass off routes to the “help” defender. 3. “Chief” — A double man free, with one safety playing the Post and the other playing the short middle. The short defender will play from a “frisco” alignment as well.WE UANeN RUN, “LoU- Laut SOACHING Ri 1. A Zone 00g where we bring § and play 3 deep, 3 under.
