What the Seahawks do a little differently is that they'll often have their corners press at the line of scrimmage, and run the 12-yard vertical stem with the receiver, reading him all the way. That is, they play from inside out, and the nickelback and strong safety tend to have bigger zones to cover from the curl area out to the flat area on the sideline. In the underneath area, the nickelback, both linebackers, and the strong safety play four across, but not necessarily fourths.

It's good at protecting against the deep ball, because it splits the deep area of the field into thirds.Īs you can see, the two cornerbacks and the free safety are all playing one third of the deep zone.In this diagram, that man is the SS, who is Kam Chancellor for the Seahawks. It allows the defense to easily have an eighth man in the box for run defense.There are two main benefits of Cover 3, which is the coverage scheme we're looking at here. This shows the Seahawks (the blue guys) in a 4-2-5 nickel grouping, which is typical for them against the 11 personnel that the Broncos favor, and which I have them showing here. I'm going to start by explaining Cover 3 and how it works, and then I'm going to get into some good ways to attack it. We run our best stuff, over and over and over, and we hang our hats on our ability to execute those few plays. As Peyton Manning said on the radio, on Thursday, there's some similarity in the overarching schematic attitudes of the Broncos offense and the Seahawks defense. They play a base Cover 3 scheme, like many high school teams do. The Seahawks, to the casual fan, play all kinds of press man-to-man coverage. If you'll follow me across the jump, I'm fixing to drop some knowledge on you, as Stuart Scott would say. It's Super Bowl week, and I promised y'all some material. I'm not here to talk about weak-ass Chargers fans, though. Guess how many people I saw rocking Chargers gear, in a high foot traffic area, a mere two weeks after their feel-good playoff run ended? I saw exactly one of them, which is par for the course for this town.
As I write this Wednesday night, I'm also in San Diego, in a (somewhat disappointing) hotel room, overlooking the bay, and we just got back from a nice dinner in Little Italy. As you read this, I'll be in San Diego attending a sales and use tax seminar.
