SAMCompatible 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.
Tampa 2
The Tampa 2 formation is similar to the base 4-3, as the defensive line is expected to pressure the QB without help from blitzes. The Tampa 2 is a unique for often having the MLB responsible for covering the deep middle.
