For those that run a zone defensive scheme, what abilities do you run on your corners and safeties? Also, which zone coverage do you mostly run (i.e. Cover 4, Cover 2, Cover 3, etc.)?
Depends on your coverage set up. Example: Cover 4 your CBs should have deep zone out knock out, but Cover 2 should be flat out or mid out knock out. Safeties are the same COver 4 they are inside the numbers more so inside zone knock out versus Cover 2 where they are outside zone knock out. Cover 3 is trickier because it miight be a lb in the deep mid zone or one of your safties. SubLb or Middle LB use mostly a mid zone knock out. I also think it comes down to who you have an what discount abilities they have. I dont think you want deep zone out on a guy if it cost 3 ap. I also feel like you have to mix up coverage. You cant just use cover 4 all game. Cover 4 is my go to because I hat giving up long passes and by base cover 4s can stop the run, but I have some cover 3, Cover 3 lock, a couple Cover 2 Zones and cover 2 man and of course some man blitzes. But in terms of abilits on mutliple defensive sets I would safties with Deep Zone Out and CB with Deep Zone out or Flat Zone would be the way to go. That is where most people tend to attack most coverages.
