Safety Blitz

11 Formations39 Sets85 Plays

Overview

The Safety Blitz tag identifies every play where a strong safety or free safety is the designated fifth (or sixth) rusher, spanning 85 plays across 11 formations and 39 sets from Nickel and Dollar down to Dime, Quarter, and heavier 4-3, 3-4, and 46 looks. These calls range from Cover 1 SS Blitz and FS Fire pressures that keep a single high defender behind the rush to Hammer 0 Blast and FS Fire 3 concepts that trade coverage help for a free runner off the edge or through an interior gap. Competitive players use this tag to filter for disguised pressure that shows two-high pre-snap, then blitzes a defender the offensive line rarely accounts for in its slide protection, which makes it a fast way to build a pressure package that fits your user-controlled defender preferences and your existing man or zone shell.
