Try some short slant routes with 3 or 4 WR sets when they're blitzing.  Or if you have fast WRs try a deep streak when your QB has some time.

Most people play cover 2...Thinking that since tony dungy can do  they can too.

The easiest way to combat this is just to kill them deep. Remember that when someone plays cover 2 or 3, there is usually single coverage DEEP.

Deep passes with piss anyone off, and when you do this you force them to change/adapt...and when you succeed at this you become "ahead of the game", and force the opponent to guess.

If you notice that your openent likes to bring blitzes and they always seem to be in a zone coverage try using play action plays, if that doesnt work pump fake on one of your wide recievers and throw to another.

This is what I do to beat zones, especially cover 3 (3 db's deep):

I send a TE on the flat to keep the corner occupied

With the slot receiver, audible him to a curl route to the 1st down line to hold the LB

I send my FL receiver on a fade or go route to get one on one coverage. 

Since I play with T.O he's too big for safeties to cover.  Randy Moss catches TD's 70% of time.  The key to beating a zone is to be patient and not to force a throw.  I do this audible everytime I know someone is in zone b/c SOMEONE will be open.  I hope this helps.

Although we shouldn't live in the past, one can only dream of what would've been if Romo holds down the snap.  Sure, he botched the snap as a holder, but as Quarterback; his skills and leadership put us in position to win.  2007-08 is our Destiny...

O.K., your gonna have to do a little bit of audabling. Have the receiver right next to the sideline go out on a streak. Next, have a tight end on the same side and send him on a slant route towards the sideline with the receiver on a streak. The tight end will always be open NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!! There is your strategy on beating the zone coverage.
