What happens
Both Tackles slant outside into the B-gaps while both ILBs shoot the A-gaps simultaneously, overloading the Center two-on-one. Ends hold C, OLBs hold contain.
Coverage behind it
3-deep behind it, with the OLBs staying home in the flats.
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.
