Spy

The Spy tag identifies defensive plays that assign a dedicated defender, usually a linebacker or safety, to mirror the quarterback and shut down scrambles, QB draws, and designed runs from mobile passers. It covers 16 plays across 5 formations and 12 sets, including Dime, Nickel, Quarter, Dollar, and 3-4 looks, with calls like Cover 1 Contain Spy, Cov 1 QB Contain Spy, Tampa 2 Spy, and Cover 3 Buzz Spy that pair spy duties with either man or zone coverage. Filter by this tag against scrambling opponents when you want built-in QB containment without spending your user-controlled defender or a pre-snap spy adjustment on the job.
