Intro

Set Up
  • You MUST use the "Slot Cornerback" Package. You won't be able to adjust your Slot Corner without it
  • The "335 Penny" Formation is only found in the "335 Tite" Playbook (Georgia, WVU, and others get it in CUT)
  • Focus on Mastering the Blitz + 1 Coverage your first day, then expand upon that
  • The Default Coverage Shell we want to use is a "Cover 2" Coverage Shell. Vs Spread Sets, use "Cover 0" Coverage Shell, to keep our Linebackers inside
Huge Keys

  • Have A Plan PRESNAP to how you think you'll Switch Stick during the play
