Using NFL Defenses as hair styles
For men experiencing male pattern baldness, much can be learned from the innovative defenses employed by football coaches. Covering the scalp and covering the gridiron offer similar challenges and solutions. Here are some formations you can employ.
Under Key - Man to Man​​
This is your base defense in most situations. Adequate coverage, easy to execute
4-3 Key Mombo​
Useful in right-to-left windy conditions. Provides double team coverage to one side
4-3 Blast Man-to-Man
You are selling out to protect the entire width of the forehead. Okay for face-to-face encounters.
4-3 Twist - Strong Zone
Designed to confuse. Multiple shifts and movement, to be deployed in adverse weather conditions or camping trips
4-3 Sam-Will Blitz
If you have a strong widow's peak, you can deploy this to protect the recession at the temples
4-2 Key Safety X Combo
Designed to protect against Santa Ana east/northeast winds. Drags your deep safety to the flat, while the corner rotates deep.
​
Prevent
You're obviously giving up defending the forehead, but a good defense against people above and behind you.
Under Blast Weak Zone​​
A risky defense, trying to both cover the forehead and the deep middle. Only to be used in controlled conditions or dim lighting.
Over Key Strong Zone
Making a choice here to leave the flat uncovered, but will adequately protect other areas. Watch out for people coming up on your left, be ready to rotate your head.
4-3 Maximum Blitz
When you're trying to shock the opponent with a full hairline. If they read the coverage, however, any play over the top will burn you.
Short Yardage
You're giving up the deep middle, but you know that. Forehead coverage good for Zoom calls and against shorter opponents.
