The Cover 3 is designed to make receivers catch everything in front of you so you can tackle them.lol if we go by that then a lot of defense are deal since Alabama kicked the crap out of a lot of different defensive schemes.
However, it doesn't account for a No 1 receiver with major speed from the slot running deep routes against it. You can occupy the outside deep corners with receivers, then let your slot guy run deep routes against linebackers with the center safety having to figure out which way you're going.
You can't do it with Cole Beasley. But you can darn sure do it with Lockett or Tyreek Hill. You see more and more No 1 receivers playing more in the slot for that reason.
The defense can only solve that with a pass rush.
