We are back in the film room today. And as we’ve done so many times before, we’re back breaking down yet another of Keith Butler Fire Zone blitzes. Like each previous installment, we will lean on Dick LeBeau’s 2002 Cincinnati Bengals’ playbook to examine their Scare Fire Zone. It created one of many sacks Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
The concept is a nickel blitz with the blitz side inside linebacker rushing. The blitz side outside linebacker and the two defensive lineman scoop down one gap.
You get your traditional Cover 3 shell behind it, typical for a Fire Zone.
