- Put your best CB at CB2
- have speed (85+) at CB and FS
- the best play statistically is the OLB Flat Zone with a fast WLB with good zone coverage. However, FZ has no deep SF, so if the Slant hits, a fast WR with high BC will be gone
- A safer option is to always have a deep SF on the weak side. like in all 2-man coverages, or man, QB Spy (but not Man Under 1, because the wrong SF is deep)
- Doubling the WR2 should be a good idea, but does not work in MFN, as I had both the SF and the CB in bad position and let the WR2 get behind them
