The rules for the offensive line are simplified, which allows the skill players to be used to control and confuse the defense. This simple window dressing has the effect of making the offense look complicated, while the heart of the play never changes.

While these coverages were great for their time, the game has evolved and defensive coverages must evolve with them.

The days of drop back zone coverages where defenders drop into space and hope the receivers run to them are dead. Pattern Matching Coverages takes the principles of zone defense and combines it with the pressure of man-to-man techniques. The simple schemes are designed to combat the major passing concepts of modern football and pressure quarterbacks into making a mistake. Equip your players with the tools to shut down the modern passing game!
