Designing the Ravens’ Red Zone "Tag" Sim Blitz

How the Ravens' system uses overload fronts to freeze QBs in the low red zone.

Learn how Mike Macdonald and the Baltimore Ravens use the "Glitch" Blitz to freeze opposing quarterbacks and force game-changing turnovers in the low red zone. We break down the mechanics of this 4-man overload “Tag Sim” pressure, showing you how dual edge rushes and interior vision droppers exploit slide protections against 2x2, 3x1, and motion looks. Master the coverage rules and front alignments behind one of the most efficient red zone pressure concepts in modern football.
