Blitz unless there is a man assignment that requires covering.

Makes sense. I've never seen one since I run zone most of the time. All these dern 3 WR trips are making me put in man defenses...

Not really....I don't have a choice. I still run zone vs 3 and 4 WRs, but only about 60% of the time now.

Sorry Im late but dotted line on blitz play means they start running before the hike is called, they read the snap basically.

Not sure that is always the case. I didn't think so anyways.

No that's different. Tiger blitzes start before the ball is snapped. Dotted line blitzes don't start before the snap.

Not tryna start an arguement ... but if you get any blitz play with the dotted line from linebackers or safeties I believe they would start running before
the QB actually says Hike... Thats what I have always understood though

As far as I can tell.

I know man zero fire has dotted line blitzes. Nobody is moving pre snap in that play at all. Unless they changed it since I ran shitty D lol
