"Viper" is merely our adjusted 42 front to accentuate a pass rushing defense, while maintaining our flexibility against the run.
Viper 'drop' is telling our RUSH backer to "drop" to the curl zone instead of rushing the passer.

Base Viper is rushing 3 linemen plus the RUSH. When motion changes 'strength' and a trips look is found on the weak side,
Mike will bump over on top of #3, jam him, then fall back to his curl zone. If #3 does anything other than go inside, he will run with him.

When in VIPER, we will rarely have time for huddle calls and must designate our blitzes
based on numbers (audibling at the line).

Versus an "Air Raid" offense, they will be audibling at the line as well, so the more
confusion we create, the better. We can call out as many numbers as we like, but once
YOUR number is called, you must execute your blitz without question.

RED (right) BLUE (left)
We will call "CLOUD" to put ourselves in better position versus the outside run based on wing motion.
When we call "CLOUD", it will be a pre-snap call for coverage rotation. We will line up in our base C3 alignment, but as
the wing goes in motion, we will make a loud audible, "RED! RED!" (right) or "BLUE! BLUE!" (left). No matter what we designa
as strength, we will just roll into our Cover 6 package, pressing hard on the outside receiver, and playing two-deep.
Will will need to be familiar with occupying JUST the 'curl' zone when to his side.
We can also make this call to an 'exceptional' receiver (ex. "87 CLOUD" we roll to receiver #87 no matter where he lines up)

 "RED" (right) "BLUE" (left)
we will call "ROLL" to bracket a receiver and offer a 'change-up' look to an offense. The corner to the called side of "ROLL" is
going to hard press the outside receiver and re-route him. Corner will ride this receiver inside, then 'float' into the flat zone.
The only change-up is the OLB to the roll side. He will now fall to the deep 1/3rd of that side. If a 'weak' roll is called, the WILL
will now drop to deep 1/3rd over the top of the pressing corner. Likewise, if a strong roll is called, the Strong Safety will now
drop to the deep 1/3rd over the top of the pressing corner.
We can also make this call to an 'exceptional' receiver (ex. "87 ROLL" we roll to receiver #87 no matter where he lines up)
