Beating cover zero is pretty simple (in theory)

January 22, 2019 03:33PM
1. You pick up the blitz and give your WRs enough time to beat their man coverage.

2. running 11 personnel in a bunch, you run rub patterns and with no safety help get a WR open.

3. Hope you WRs can get separation early in their routes, because the heat is coming.

4. Get your RB into the flat and let him beat either one of the safeties or a LBer.

In LAs 11 personnel I would assume the following:

CB1 (Gilmore), CB2 (Eric Rowe) and nickelCB (Jonathan Jones) take the 3 WRs (Cooks, Woods, Reynolds)
1 safety takes the TE (Chung)
other safety(or a OLB ) takes the RB (McCourty or I guess Van Noy?)

That leaves 2 DEs, 1 DT and 3 Lbers against 5 OL. So it really comes down to either getting separation or creating separation. Either way, in a cover zero, separation has to come early.
