Contain

The Contain tag marks defensive calls where the edge rushers are assigned to squeeze the pocket and hold the outside shoulder rather than crash upfield, keeping scrambling quarterbacks bottled in the tackle box. You will find it across 9 formations and 23 sets (Dollar, Nickel, Dime, 4-3, Big Nickel, 3-4 and more), attached to 25 plays that pair the contain rush with Cover 1, Cover 2 and QB spy shells for built in mobile QB insurance. Competitive players filter by Contain when they need a call that shuts down scramble drills and designed QB runs without burning a user defender, so you can stay on a deep safety or a slot hook and still have edge discipline handled pre-snap.
