What happens

Will slants outside past the Tackle into the C-gap. Renamed from the source's "Twist" so it never gets confused with the D-line stunt of the same name.

Coverage behind it

Mike takes the B-gap and spies the QB; Sam locks man on the slot; man-free (Cover 1) behind it.

Coverage behind any blitz — the one rule to teach: whoever is left uncovered by the blitzer's departure rotates to fill his zone. If a Safety blitzes the edge, the other deep defender (or a rotating corner) takes the deep middle third and the underneath defenders redistribute to 3-under. If Mike blitzes an A-gap, the backside ILB or a rotating DB takes the vacated hook-curl. One rule applied consistently beats memorizing a different rotation per blitz.
