Answer 1) So this is most likely a 4-4 cover 3 look when you’re out of the slot in a 2x2 formation. 3 Linebackers inside/ 1 safety rolled down and the LB/SS head up on you will be in charge of the flats. So his goal is to re route you inside to make it an easier play for the safety. So what you need to do is attack his leverage to the outside so he moves off the platform, his job is to not let you take the outside release. So set him up outside, take the inside release and work to re stack so your QB has space to throw you from the safety.

Answer 2) LB is inside shade so you want to attack his leverage inside because that’s where he doesn’t want you to go, give him a move then work back to your “line” and snap the dig off in front of the safety. Be aware of the Mike linebacker when you do this so you know if you need to sit in coverage behind the LBs.

Answer 3) Ball will be on a line. QB is trying to bring you down hill away from the safety. If it were man coverage he would be dropping it over the top with some touch. 2 high safety, always expect the ball on a line.If the QB fades you with air, you are either getting killed or the ball will have a play made on it. Do not change the angle however, keep the same 45 you would if it was man coverage. Just get your head around quicker so you can find the ball and adjust.
