Play: Cover 1 (Run Defense)

Setup:

2. Shift the defensive line to the left
3. User the deep safety

Overview: *Come out in 46 Normal Speed Package and audible to this play* In this video we go over how we can user the deep safety.

Formation: 46 Normal (Speed Package)

Play: Cover 1 (Run Defense)

Setup:

1. Press coverage
2. Spread the defensive line

Overview: In this play we are actually using 46 Normal so we do not need to audible. However, the video shows a way that you can shoot the gap with your user and blow up runs in the backfield. Also, the video breaks down another way that spreading the line will take away nearly all running lanes and you can user the deep safety as basically the last line of defense.
