Inverted Cover 3

Well since Sgibs and Zfarls of Maddenbible.com (twitter: maddenbible and sgibs7) have coined the name inverted cover 2 this year I have to make an adjustment to the name lol

This is a really good play I have been using off and on since madden 09 

As you can see its from the 4-3 stack defense (but can be done from any and every defense)

its the cover 3 play....NOT THE COVER 3 PRESS...Its the regular cover 3 with the safety already in the flat

the set up is

-call bump and run defense or back your DBs back. it really doesnt matter to much for the pass, but for the run I would Bump and Run

-globally blitz all LBs

-globally hook all LBs

-Put safety on the left of screen in a flat zone

-shade db coverage inside

*user Middle Linebacker*

------------------------

Thats basically it but you can do whatever you want to the DL

I like to put a DT in a QB spy to cover the shallow middle. 

---------------------------

When usering the MLB you want to protect the deep middle just like if you were playing a cover 2. But also be aware of routes that will cross your face. Its a hard thing to do but the coverage look will confuse your opponent!!!

The flats may look really open at first but with the way most flat route work this year that route will go for 3 yards max unless you wiff on a tackle

Also the way the safety goes to the flats he will semi cover the curl area which is .....well great lol

You want them to throw to the middle and test YOU

also I didnt mention but bump and running or off coverage will keep the safeties from rotating and showing cover 3. That is pretty big

I run this coverage sparingly. For those who dont know me im very conservative and dont like a lot of coverage that can give up big plays. This is some pretty good red zone D as well.

You also can tie in some blitzs with the coverage, just use your imagination!!!

if you dont want to user the MLB you can put him on a deep blue zone and user a OLB. Or dial up a blitz and user a DE or whatever (I may have given away too much  lol)
