What are the distances I should have my zones at?

I keep getting diced up in pretty much every coverage from PA rollouts and my D can't do anything about it

I've never edited my zone drops (probably not good), but it hasn't been an issue for me to this point. I typically run a cover 3 and always set to match. If I find a specific route/receiver is toasting me I'll switch my nickel corner to man to run more of a cover 3 lock.

I set my side purple sorry not in game atm can’t think of proper name but I set them to 30 when i notice my opponent tends to run corner route

other than that I just leave stock

Yeah it just depends on what your opponent is doing. You can move your zones to take away what routes they specifically like. I usually only focus on adjusting flats. Throwing to the HB or FB set to zero. Corner routes set to 15 or 20. Crossers 25 to 30. If you on match, adjusting drops does not have any affect. I will also add for PA rollouts, just bring a corner blitz from the side they roll out to, then roll your coverage to that side.

Setting zone drops is bad when running match. If your quarter flat is supposed to match a running back and you set zone drops, hell play those drops and leave the RB free to go.

I run Cover 4 Drop out of NIckel 3-3, I know it is Meta, but it works.

I usually put my Curl Flats on 5 and my Flats on 30, then I put my Outside Corners into Clouds, and they lock up any Corner Route in the game.

I almost never adjust the zone drops

That is what I was trying to say. Drops through match off.

I pretty much follow the same rules and I won't adjust until after I see what my opponent runs first. The only time I don't touch zone drops is when I have match turned on.
