Cover 2 — The deep sideline 'honey hole' behind the corner and in front of the safety (corner route)
Tampa 2 — The two deep 'honey holes' outside the hashes — behind the corner, in front of the safety (corner route)
Cover 3 — The flats — four underneath defenders can't cover all five underneath zones (curl-flat / slant-flat)

Best vs Cover 3 and two-deep zones alike — the same-side, three-level stretch high-lows the corner and puts the curl-flat defender in conflict, which is why the sail/flood beats Cover 2, Tampa 2, and Cover 3.
It's contested against quarters (Cover 4), which keeps four defenders over the top.
Throw it high-to-low off the flat defender: he jumps the flat, the out is open; he carries the out, the flat hits.
The deep corner must hit the numbers, not the hash, and the flat should declare first so the underneath defender commits.

Cover 0: Anything that develops slowly — pressure gets home first Better answers: Four Verticals, Mesh, Slant-Flat, Smash
Cover 1: Outside vertical shots — the free safety caps them over the top Better answers: Mesh, Drive, Smash, Y-Cross, Four Verticals, Levels
Cover 4: Deep shots — four deep defenders make it very hard to win over the top Better answers: Stick, Snag, Slant-Flat, Curl-Flat, Mesh
