Defensive Playbook Question

By setherick

So I know that the 3-4 Run Focused playbook has the 3-4 Cover 1 and the 46 Heavy 2 Deep Man.

Does any defensive playbook have the 3-4 Cover 1 and the 4-3 Flat Zone? If so, can someone hook me up with what it is? I assume that it does not exist.

Is this what you're after?

Nope, I'm looking for the Flat Zone.

I went through all of my HCs playbooks.
I assume you are looking for 3-4 Cover 1 AND 4-3 Flat Zone in ONE playbook. The problem seems to be that there is no such combination. If your HC focusses on 3-4 defenses, there will be no 4-3 formation in the playbook and vice versa. So you could only have one of those plays in your playbook.

Pass focused 3-4 is the only coach, that I know who has both 3-4 Normal and 4-3 Normal Plays

however, Flat Zone is not in his 4-3 Normal playbook.

I never had any HC with Balanced 4-3 or Run focused 4-3 Defense, so maybe they have both plays

None of the 4-3 focused books have the 3-4 Cover 1 that I know of.

The 3-4 Run Focused has the Cover 1 and 46 Heavy 2 Deep Man, which is one of the better defensive books for shutting down both of the exploit plays and 113 runs.

Thanks everyone for checking. That's what I thought unfortunately.

I have some ideas for a new strategy post about how to defend the exploit plays (212 Hitch, 113 Flare, etc.) that I've been kicking around in my head, but I haven't had time to write anything out.

The one play that I'm still looking at strategy ideas on is the 221 Deep Corners.
