Early in the 2021 Season, the Cleveland Browns’ defense relied on an old favorite of Joe Woods (and Kevin Stefanski): Cover-3.
This zone defense is predicated on taking away the middle of the field, and forcing opposing teams to complete passes outside the numbers or in the flats. However, it didn’t always work out that way for this Browns team.
In this video I broke down both this coverage, and the style with which we like to play it. We want our players to play fast, instinctively, and aggressively, which sounds great in theory.
