Contain

9 Formations23 Sets25 Plays

Overview

The Contain tag flags defensive calls built to squeeze the pocket and shut down scrambling quarterbacks, assigning edge rushers to hold their rush lanes instead of crashing inside where a mobile QB can escape. It spans 9 formations and 23 sets, showing up most often in Nickel, Dollar, Dime and Big Nickel packages through plays like Cover 1 Contain, Cover 1 Contain Press, Cover 2 Contain and Cov 1 QB Contain Spy that pair contain rushes with man or zone shells behind them. Filtering by Contain is the fastest way to build an anti scramble game plan, whether you want a spy on the QB, press coverage outside, or a base rush you can supplement with your own user-controlled defender.
