When you’re facing a good Spread offense, you’re going to need some sort of a blitz package. If you can get away with playing straight zone coverage all day, then you probably aren’t playing a good spread team. There’s just too much space on the field – too many ways for a team to get their athletes the ball in space. And that’s exactly what the offense is looking to do. If you’re going to sit back in a soft zone coverage all day, the Spread will take its time, getting the ball in space, and working down the field on you.Against the Spread Offense, I want to use a variety of blitzes including 5 man pressures, 6 man pressures, and Zone Blitzes. The combination of all of these different styles will hopefully frustrate and confuse the opposing Quarterback. As long as that guy can’t sit back there and pick us apart – and we can take away whatever running game the opponent has – we have a great shot at victory.
