I say cover 3 because it is the most commen zone called this year, do you understand....And Right now im giving you credit for being a smart madden gamer even though everyone is calling me a cheeser without even playing me but i will make 1 more point...... A cover 3 isnt made to stop curl routes by the outside WRs......Becuz the CBs are in Deep thirds...BUT the cover 3 WILL stop curl routes by the outside WRs if there are NO flat routes called, the OLBs will sit on the curls........BUT the cover 3 CANT stop curl routes if there ARE flat routes because the CBs are in deep thirds and the OLBs MUST respect the flat routes.......THERE is where KNOWING THE GAME COMES IN TO PLAY......
