Cover 0 — Pure Man / No Safety Help

Cover 0 is an all-out pressure look with no deep safety help. Every defender is either in man coverage or rushing the passer. It's the most aggressive coverage a defense can call — high risk, high reward. If the rush gets home, it's a sack or turnover. If the QB gets the ball out, there's nobody behind the coverage.
