What exactly is a Hook Zone?
What exactly is a Curl Zone?

Typically, in football, these two zones are grouped together to make the hook/curl zone. It's the area in the middle of the field in between the corners, but in front of the safeties.

What is Deep? It looks just like Hook Zone.

Deep Zone is exactly what it sounds like. It's behind the hook/curl zones as deep as it needs to be

What is Flat Zone? It looks like Curl Zone.

The Flat Zones are the areas to the far left and far right near the sideline, and they usually extend no further than 10 yards (or so) beyond the line of scrimmage.

How is QB Contain different than QB Spy?

QB spy is just a shadow on the QB. Wherever the QB moves, the spy moves. The QB contain is used to keep the QB from rolling out by protecting either end of the line of scrimmage.

That's about the best help I cant think of for someone who obviously doesn't have a great wealth of football knowledge.
