DISGUISE PACKAGE
We believe in disguising our package for the following reasons:
1. The offense cant zero in on any one front or coverage
2. The offense must make their adjustment quickly after
we come out of our disguise .
3. We can hide our front and coverage until the snap of the
ball.
4. Disguising neutralizes the offenses advantage of knowing
the play before the snap of the ball.
Disguise Alignments
We will show DOG front (N in a 0 END and TACKLE in 4) WILL and SAM
will align in 7 Techniques vs a TE and Hip alignments if there is no TEs . Both MIKE and
ZIP will align in 20s with The coverage always showing Cover 4.
