Hey, I was wondering what the symbols on the play diagrams mean?

square = I'm assuming this means the player is in man coverage?
circle = I'm assuming this means the player is in zone coverage?
circle with an uneven straight line = zone coverage but not sure what the squiggly line means.
Circle inside a circle = not sure.
Arrows point down = I assume this means the players are blitzing?
The upside down T = not sure.

Thank you.

- Square should be "Man" from what I've gathered
- circle with an uneven straight line = deep zone I'm pretty sure (not sure if it's deep third or what actual rule is). Same with normal zone (circle), not sure how large the coverage space or "assignment" is.
- There also is one where the squiggly goes sideways which I've assumed is some flat type of zone covg, but not exactly sure either cuz Safeties can have it too...
- Upside down T= not sure exactly either, but assumed was "run/rush def", but can't remember if it could also be press coverage for CBs. That with arrow are sometimes confusing and haven't been able to consistently remember what they are.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I've seen that sideways squiggly line. Thanks for your reply!
