Defending RB Flat Pass @ GL

[NinersFaithful]

I'm having trouble defending a pass to the flats to the RB @ inside the 5 yard line.

I've played cover 2, but people are running the combination of the rb to the flat AND the wr running a slant, which causes my CB to bit inside and not be able to recover to cover the flats and the running back

Anybody have a solution for it?

do the indivual bump the outside wrs and the te and the lb will follow the rb w/o hesitation

[NinersFaithful]

does it have to be indivual bump?

U have to have somthing where the linebackers go to the flats or DE's cause it hard for the corneback to bump the wide plus defend that flat in less than a secound ya know. What you want to do is get linebacker who's only responsibility is that flat do cover it but I would manuely put them closer to the edges if its a PA.
