In the end it’s all a guessing game between the DC and the OC. If the OC overloads the right spot on the defense and the QB reads it, there’s not much you can do but make the tackle. If the DC brackets the right route that is the first read the QB can be in a lot of trouble.
I like this defense best when it’s two deep safeties with coverage in the flats rushing 3 or 4, WIL or MIKE dropping into the middle reading QB eyes. Force QB’s to make throws. You have a lot of guys that are really good at playing a deep half. Leggett, Fenner, Fogg, Bighill, Alexander, Sayles has been good. I’m not a big fan of Loffler downfield because he’s slow in terms of footspeed and spotting the ball. You can run this basic coverage repeatedly and change who/which position drops, which picks up flats. I’d get Loffler down in the flats a lot too because you need him engaged physically. As long as the DL gets pressure with 3-4 this coverage is pretty damn hard to beat.
