  17. Cover 3 - explanation • Cover 3 is named because it has 3 deep zone players splitting the field in to 3rds. Usually our defense has 4 underneath zones played by linebackers. SAM should sit for screen, draw or qb scramble 3 1 2 1 2 MLB/TLB Drop aiming point is 8 yards deep: weave towards heavy receiver side or weave to QB if formation is balanced.

  21. Cloud Cover 3 – explanation • 1 cornerback (cloud) plays press-flat zone (like cover 2) while other corner stays deep 3rd (like cover 3/cover 4). Safety on cloud side must roll over the top to take that corner’s deep zone, and far safety rolls to deep middle 3rd.

  22. Cloud Cover 3 – Cloud (press) cornerback can be to either side of the offense (right/left/short/wide) depending on the gameplan; it is drawn here to the offensive right because some teams we face are very right-handed LC RC W S M T S S BACK TO INDEX
