Nobody cares about rice on a football forum.

Depends on the team and if they have a good running game or passing game honestly.

Brother, the majority of this board doesn't know the difference between read option or RPO.

With superior athletes, cover 1.

Press the box and force uncomfortably.

Talent-equated or inferior talent? I’m going cover 3. Death by 1000 cuts, perhaps. But make the O string together sustained drives

Ding ding ding. If you’ve got a good pass rush and long corners who can run, cover 1.

However against modern offenses, you have to be able to mix up coverages or they will figure you out (unless your talent gap is large)

brother Marcel this forum only knows one thing — bait LSU fans and pretend they’re taking the bait. X’s and O’s might as well be Greek. Try “Chips are down, will Lane Kiffin get fired for screwing a co-ed by Year 2?” and you’ll have a more successful thread

it's not either/or


you do variations of 1, 2, 2 man under, 3, man free, four across disguise, combos (aka, brackets), multiple pre-snap and post-snap disguises, rolls from 3 to 2, rolls from 2 to 3, etc, to create well over 20 different coverages
