» In this episode, I talk about:

• Overview of how protections work against a Base 3-4 (five-man front).

• How the Broncos used an off-ball ‘plug’ blitz to manipulate the Chiefs pass protection.

• How to confuse the RB in protection.

• How pressure can cover up mistakes in the backend.

• Detail how to adjust coverage (and what not to do) versus motion when running Cover 0.
