nanoing out of a zone

When someone keeps nanoing me they are usually playing man and bump n run. I just keep some extra blockers in and do a slant route or motion a wr and do a slant so they dont get bumped. But when people nano and play zone behind it, it becomes much more difficult for me. Anyone know any good nanos while playing zone behind it. Preferably zones with a lot of yellow zones or maybe both flats covered. thanks

try and put a couple of recievers on slants and drags..... find out where he is blitzing from and use that spot as a vocal point..... if hes blitzing on the right side put your right WR on a slant and pass it where he can get it.

he didnt ask for an offensive straegy lol. In The PIT playbook there is a 1-5-5 cover 2 sink nano and out of the base 3-4 solid there is a nano out of the cover 2. But all nanos have their weakness.

most nano's people use are A-Gap nanos and send 5-6 rushers. They either leave the Flats uncovered or leave the middle of the field light in coverage.

I have not found a nano that covers the flats and has enough yellow zones left over to cover the middle of the field. I rarely nano blitz because of this, against someone that knows how to handle it, its usually a decent gainer. So instead, I always setup my play to "look" like a nano even though it isn't. Then later in the game, I will call one in a key situation. My opponent will be used to seeing the same setup with only 3 rushers and will usually get caught.

this works well, its always more exciting to get that sack on 3 and 5 or something like that

i run alot of nanos but i set it up like a nano ever single play. sometimes i wont even really care, just pick my play and put like 3 people in the same gap on one side...then most of the time they will either throw it quick into the "nano" or slide protect. thats when i user the DE on the other side and make the magic

I don't know if this is considered a nano, but I like to mix up coverage between the two sides of the field. If my opponent is coming out in a 3-wr set I like to man up the side where the slot receiver is, have him thinking its man and manually control my safety to play that area, while sending a corner back blitz from the zone side. I also like to send a blitz through the A-gap. I mean, its tough to maintain good coverage for a long time, I try to get to the qb as quick as possible.

best zone nano i know is in oddsplit... its monster 3 i think, the nano only needs 4 people so u can make the other blitzers cover flats. just bring a mlb into each a gap and reblitz one of them
