The New and Improved Blog!

I have changed because of the Red Pinko Communist Conspiracy headed by my Late Great Great Great Uncle Leon Trotsky...who´s real name was Leyba Davidich Bronstein. Who seemed really busy being an International type in Mexico till someone took a dull axe to his head. Now you may ask what this has to do with football? Well really nothing, but I love to name drop!

Enough said, I would like to talk about Quarters, not the time you pitch in back alleys as an idle youth but as in coverage. Cover 4 as it is know to Defensive Aficionados. I have recently ventured back to "THE DARK SIDE"...gee I can´t help myself on this one..."I´m evil, evil I tell you"!!!! Sorry for the rant. Back to Cover 4 or Cov 4.

Why Cov 4 you ask? Well think about these reasons!
1. You can disguise many looks, a Two Shell Look, a SS/FS Invert look, you can go with 4 or 5 across and play many different covers including C4 with robber. Baffle the QB and OC, causing the big mistake and bingo you have a pick.
2.You can attack a Offense with many 6 and 7 man blitzes plus Zone Blitz them, putting muncho pressure on QB,s who run terrible but throw well thus rushing the pass or throwing the bad ball.
3. Take the deep threat away on 3rd and real long situations and kill the stinking draw.
4. Prevent.
5. Playing the TREY or Trips to Field or even Mid Field and squeezing the trips side and taking pressure from the hole and your Inside Backer who covers it and wall #1 rec to backside with Corner in a semi lock on him.

All in all Cov 4 is a different animal, it has apperent weakness that the short pass will work, but you don´t have to live with it 100% of the time just throw it into the mix of Coverage´s that you have in your arsenel.
