44 Punisher Type:

Non-rotational zone

Description:

Coverage is a 2-Deep, 5-Under zone that employs our Free Safety as a Robber.

This coverage allows us to take away certain routes by the offense (Curl and

Dig) with our Free Safety. It also places our Free Safety in a position to be

ver y aggressive vs. the running game.

Overall: Excellent against the short passing game. Good against deep

bombs, screens and draws. Excellent option force package. Highly adaptable

to different personnel.

8/7/2019 Punisher 2009


Punisher DefenseEight man front.

Defensive Line plays one gap.

LB¶s play two gaps.

When playing coverage we prefer Robber Coverage to Cover 3.

We are a pressure team by alignment, movement and blitz.

Defensive EndT

eaching PointsGet off , Extend & Strike. Defeat the Reach, bend on the Trap (Veer block) - same as DT

If TE disappears, the Stud slams back inside immediately, attacking inside number of

trapper /lead to spill it

Sit on Zone: Shoot the hands, grab cloth, gobble up the TE and the Tackle leaving the LBFree to run, or sit in 'C' Gap and make the play

Can widen the Will on passing downs, but it doesn't work for them so they don't do it.
