This is the main advantage of Cover 1 schemes--the ability to blitz from various pre-snap formations while engaging in complex man-to-man coverage schemes post-snap. For example, a safety may blitz while a CB is locked in man coverage with a WR. Or the CB may blitz with the safety rotating into man coverage on the WR post-snap. The main weakness of Cover 1 schemes is the lone deep defender that must cover a large amount of field and provide help on any deep threats. Offenses can attack Cover 1 schemes with a vertical stretch by sending two receivers on deep routes, provided that the quarterback has enough time for his receivers to get open.
The deep defender must decide which receiver to help out on, leaving the other in man coverage which may be a mismatch. A secondary weakness is inherent in its design: the use of man coverage opens up yards after catch lanes. Man coverage is attacked by offenses in various ways that try to isolate their best athletes on defenders by passing them the ball quickly before the defender can react or designing plays that clear defenders from certain areas thus opening yards after catch lanes.
Cover 1 can also be used to confuse a Quarterback. For example setting a safety with a zone below the deepest safety can make Cover 1 look like Cover 2. Cover 1 also allows a defense to be in good position to stop the run. In traditional Cover 2 schemes the free safety FS and strong safety SS have deep responsibilities, each guarding half of the field.
Cover 2 can be run from any seven-man defensive fronts such as the and the It is difficult to implement Cover 2 from an eight-in-the-box front, because the strong safety or someone replacing him is usually the eighth man. Various "underneath" coverage played by cornerbacks and linebackers may also be implemented. For example, Cover 2 Man means 2 safeties have deep responsibility while the cornerbacks and linebackers follow their offensive assignment in one-on-one coverage.
Cover 2 can also be paired with underneath zone schemes: Cover 2 Zone refers to 2 safeties with deep responsibility but now the CBs and LBs drop back into specific coverage zones where they defend passes only in their assigned area.
Teams that play Cover 2 shells usually ascribe to the "bend-but-don't-break" philosophy, preferring to keep offensive players in front of them for short gains while limiting long passes. This is in stark contrast to a more aggressive Cover 1 type scheme which leaves the offensive team's wide receivers in single man-to-man coverage with only one deep helper. By splitting the deep field between two defenders, the defense can drastically reduce the number of long gains.
The main weakness of the Cover 2 shell occurs in the middle of the field between the safeties. The safeties attempt to gain width upon the snap of the ball to cover any long passes to quick wide receivers down the sideline. This movement creates a natural hole between the safeties that can be attacked.
By sending a receiver usually a tight end into the hole, the offense forces the safety to make a decision: play the vulnerable hole in the middle of the field or help out on the wide receiver.
The quarterback reads the safety's decision and decides on the best matchup i. Also many NFL teams find a weakness between the corner and the safety on a deep out route. There is a little gap in between and the best quarterbacks can hit the gap with the right timing.
Cover 2 also clogs up the QB's throwing lanes. A linebacker can be assigned deep to cover the area between the safeties and the linebackers, similar to Cover 3. By dropping a CB to the one of the zones can allow a safety to blitz or drop down into the box area. Cover 3 refers to 3 deep defenders each guarding one-third of the deep zone.
The biggest thing is, if you a play a team like, say, Indiana, they might have 80 man-to-man plays. Most teams that you play might have three or four zone offenses. It gives you a little bit of an advantage. Our adjustments we can make on the fly, based on how people attack us. We've seen everything. Boeheim does have 37 years of data collection at his fingertips, and his current squad might be his finest experiment to date.
The Orange have dominated this tournament with their defense. In four tournament games, opponents shot The Orange are allowing 0.
The best defensive team by points per possession this season, Stephen F. Austin, allowed 0. Those kinds of numbers beg for imitation. Syracuse remains the only BCS school that lives, thrives and rarely dies by the zone. Coach is like, 'We're going to do it, and you're going to have to figure it out. You get your best chess game, I'll bring my best chess game. There's a reason he's won and whatever games. He's a genius. That's what makes him special. A lot of people wouldn't have the strength, toughness or thickness of skin to not change.
