Fort Loramie High School - Defense Series Explanations

This year we are going to run the 4 - 3 defense installed by different series. You will get a call that is a number first. That will tell you the series to be in. Next you will get a coverage call for the secondary. Finally you will receive a stunt call (sometimes we won't stunt). The series revolve around three different looks. The first ones are our base sets (30, 40 & 50). The next look covers up the center (31, 41 & 51). Finally the last look in the series gives more of a "spread" look (32, 42 & 52). The 60 series is a goal line series. We will use this is short yardage and red zone situations.

Secondary Coverages
Cover 2 In this cover we will have our two safeties sitting back covering the deep halves while the corners are manned up on the wide outs to their side.

$ Cover 3

F/S

The strong safety will have the short flats on the strength side and the corners and free safety will each have a third of the field.

C $ F/S Quarters

Which ever way the quarterback rolls out to will dictate which safety ($ or F/S) will run the alley and become the force player. The other corners will need to roll accordingly to the strength side and pick up the other out thirds. The other safety will have the deep third.

C $ F/S
