Quote from JNO323 >>
First thing would be to match personnel. If they come out in i form, strong, etc, 4-3 is good, but if they're coming out in shotgun you should switch over to to dollar 326, nickel normal etc. You don't want your linebacker lining up against a WR, he's gonna get torched.
Or if you change books, big dime 236 & big dime 146 are my main coverages . I run Dolphins Defense right now and mix those two in with nickel normal & nickel 335 odd for passing. & on formations with 2+ TEs, i go with 43 over, & 34 odd.
Second thing is take away their first read, and recognize tendencies. Most people panic after their first read is gone and will do something dumb. If your opponent is on a 3rd & 8 & he hits you with a corner route out of gun doubles formation. Next time you're in a similar situation, and you see it tell you he is coming out in gun doubles, he's probably going to try that again... So adjust your coverage to stop that, and he will likely be lost.
