One of the main schemes offenses have been using to attack Cover 3 is the Deep Cross or 'Cross Country' concept. To combat this, defensive coaches teach their CBs to slingshot to the Post.
I don't think it is that difficult if you are in a zone scheme. Man, I can see where you really have to work coming off your man. It's not natural. I carried it a few times when we played teams that ran condensed formations. Just not something that was popular. It was more of a tool, not a standard way to match the route. I think if you are going to see this type of Deep Cross, you rep. it in indy that week, work in team everyday.
seems to be a difficult concept for high school-did you use it when you were coaching?
