The 2-3-1 slide package is a team defense system that depends on every defender knowing where to be and when to help.

One of the most important parts of this system is protecting the top side.

When defenders protect the top side, the first slide, second slide, third slide, and recovery can all become shorter.

That means defenders can help faster and get back to their players sooner.
