“Lucky” Call
vs. Pro
Buzz
If "Buzz" is called before a defensive call, all player's are allowed to align anywhere on the field.
Remember, all players must be in a position to play their responsibilities in the called defense before the ball is snapped.
There will be no "Move" call. It is up to the individual player to be accountable for his
assignment.
Have fun, but be able to play sound DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL at the snap of the ball!

King Prowl = Cover 2 Shell Deuce Prowl = Cover 2 Shell Queen Prowl = Cover 3 Shell Jack/Joker Prowl = Cover 3 Shell

Scare The linebackers and secondary should align
pre-snap as if we are in a Ace Blitz. As the cadence progresses, you should start
to creep back to your Zone alignments. The longer we can hold the "Scare"
movement, the more stress we will put on the offense.
If the QB steps back, pausing the cadence, we should move back to our Ace Blitz alignments.
It is important for the Dog and Jack or Rover to move as if they are on a string.

from their original alignments, showing blitz, then backing out, then repeating. Sugar can be called with or without a blitz.
