What happens
The D-line slants one direction while a linebacker loops outside and behind them into the vacated contain lane. A staple low-complexity combo for a 4-4 stack.
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.
