What is good about this defense is that it has two safeties. This will allow you to adjust to the strong side of the offense- only having to move one player (one of the safeties). You can shift into a 44 defense easily as well; bringing down a safety to make an 8 man box. The 43 is also very successful in pass coverage. The cover two works well in passing situations. Cover 4 (four deep coverage) is also great for prevent. Although, this defense is decently rare in youth football, it can still be a successful defense. It is simple to implement, which is definitely a good thing. Easy and simple is key for youth football.
