Slot Cross Singleback Normal

[49ersruleyea]

I need help defending this play. It seems whether I do zone or man, this play will break it. Also, if they add a rocket pass into the mix its even harder to defend. Blitzing seems like the best bet when I've played but sometimes the heat doesn't come in fast enough. Any suggestions on how to shut down this play?

Yeah call a blitz to the side so they can't roll out...and cover the area near the crossing route, the delayed route by TE and route by WR #2. You can double up the 1st receiver so you don't need to worry about them going deep. Or both outside receivers and cover the right side of the field.
