RED ZONE DEFENSE
Tampa 2
Max Coverage
This setup is INCREDIBLE at shutting people down when they get in the redzone, especially inside the 10 yard line. This is where having Inside Stuff is especially useful, since most people will try to run the ball initially. When that doesn’t work they’ll try to pass, but everything will be covered.
