Zone Drops???

Should I be using zone drops every game? Last year, I had a good handle on them, but this year is a different story. What do you guys run? ESPECIALLY against Bunch. I Need help on defense.

Always should vary based on what your opponent is running. I usually start every game with blues at 0 and purples at 15 to help against corner routes out of bunch. If your opponent is throwing over the top of vert hooks, you can drop those back to 10-15 as well. The numbers dictate how many yards past the line of scrimmage the player in that zone will play, so change between 10-15-20 depending on where your opponent is throwing and what formations you are calling (where the defender is starting from).

Are purple hooks and blue flats?
