Match-Up Zone Defenses

Being someone who likes match-up zones, I thought I would share some resources on various match-up zone defenses.  There are a wide variety of match-up zone defenses.  They differ in their rules and alignments.  Here are some basic reasons why I like the match-up zone defense.

1. It is hard for other teams to simulate the defense at practice
2. A lot of coaches struggle deciding what to run against a match-up zone
3. It allows you to put tremendous pressure on the offense 
4. Incorporates man defensive concepts

Therefore, I am going share some variations of match-up defenses out there.
