Thanks. Our supervisor wants us a max of 13 deep and 3 wide. Personally, I feel like I should be deeper or wider sometimes.

That's deep enough if you move with the play. If you read pass, and the quarterback is dropping back, you should be backing out to keep out of the way, and still have a good view. So if the quarterback drops back 5 yards, now you're 18 yards back from the LOS.
