wondering what the best defense to run is nowadays and what abilities to pair with it. Been a man press team, try and force mistakes, with short route ko's on corners and deep out zone ko on safeties. Been getting beat overtop and cheesed with qb rolling out and just chucking a deep crosser or slant. Been seeing a lot of cover 3 lately, is that the new craze?

Depends on your personnel and scheme with your set up seems good to stay in man but mix in some zone that can be very effective as most people have a base that they dont get out of. All defenses have a weakness and if you sit in one for a few plays good players will beat it. I run a match cover 2 as my base and mix in some man, Cover 3 and blitzes. I don’t run a ton of man as my abilities are zone based but it is more beneficial to have man abilities then switch to zone from play to play. One suggestion o would make is turn settings to base or man and leave them and adjust at the line. one aspect that really helps me is my look at the line is the same pre snap for any defense I run and it forces the opponent to make reads. Most players can can easily identify your defense if it’s on default and predetermine where they are going with the ball so having a symetrical or consistent alignment helps tremendously when switching between coverages and blitzes. Hope this helps god bless
