Mut 17 Question: How do you beat the cover 3?

i know how to beat cover 2 and man defense very easily. but everytime i face someone who abuses cover 3, especially from the 4-4 and 3-4 formations, i can't even get a first down with my god squad. i try a comeback route, i get picked by the cb. i try te streak, ball gets tipped in the air and then picked by usually the ss. someone can help me with a scheme to kill cover 3 against good players? i'm running the jets playbook

I have a play we’re the two outside blues play two out route. Then I streak a insider wr to pull the deep safety out of the play. Then I have a post route which comes wide open for Td if the far blue corner doesn’t play it. And if they play it, there’s a wide open 10-15 yard out route. Since it’s a play action the light blues or purples won’t jump the out route. Unless they pass commit. Then I just check into inside zone and run it down there throat.

Four Verts, Throw It To The Slot Deep. Pretty Easy.

PA Seams Shot, motion WR 1 to the right, block the running back, and wait until WR 1 beats the safety over the top. 1 play touchdown every time if they're in Cover 3.

Screens destroy cover 3. Also do slants and drag routes.

corner strikes usually work well, you just have to get a feel for the opponents tendency to shade up down. someone will be open with the levels concept unless they run cover 3 mable

 Droppin that Knowledge! :grin:  I don't know how to swerve but out routes, mesh plays, power O, all work for me against whatever defense i'm up against most of the time which is usually cover 3 it seems.

i also found the PA WR In from a trips formation works well too. When the outside wr cuts in, it draws the inside coverage and allows the slot WR to be open outside. It takes some getting used to the timing, but it works well when done correctly.

finally, Zan posted a concept on shredding cover 3. i have a hard time getting this to work on really good players, but against average guys, this cover 3 beater concept crushes it.

we dont need anymore hypocritical, weak-minded, self serving, swerving ass hats with a god complex in the community. just try and understand the concepts and then get a feel for your opponents tendencies
