2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

Max/Double calls the DS to provide "top cover" double coverage to a specifiedwide receiver. It tells certain other 2L defenders they must play Max Soft (i.e.,traditional man coverage) techniques from a depth of +7 or more. Theexceptions for playing Max Soft are for 2L defenders mirroring backfield receiversand for the 2L defender mirroring the receiver being double covered. In order tomaintain integrity against the run, and because the deep passing threat is lessimmediate, defenders mirroring backfield receivers stay at their normal depth;however, they must always be aware that when Max/Double is called, there is noend line in force. The 2L defender mirroring the called Max/Double receiver (the1A receiver to the defensive right in the diagram below) will attack and funnel orsteer that receiver (depending on the game plan). The DS sprints forward at thesnap to provide double coverage over the top of any deep routes -- fades, posts,etc.11 MAX/DOUBLE 1A RIGHT33
