MIKECompatible Schemes
This archetype is used in the following schemes:
4-3 Cover 3
A 4-3 Cover 3 defense focuses on forcing methodical offensive drives. Pass rushing upfront, coverage in the middle, and safeties unafraid to play aggresively, this defense will force the offense to sustain their drives with small gains.
46 Defense
The 46 Defense features 8 players in the box, and a weak side defensive line shift. Designed to confuse blocking assignments and bring heavy blitzes to outman and overwhelm offenses.
