Drilling quarters coverage

gridcity2000:

What would you check to vs. Wing to the strong side?
Vs a formation that has a TE and wing to the same side we usually check to cover3, man, or man free. Since we stunt so much, the coverage would be based on what we're doing with the front 8. However, I would say most of the time we're going to be in cover 3.

Twins to the weak side?
I assume that you mean TE to one side and the twins are to the other (a 2-back formation). We don't play 1/4's to this. Depending on what the offense likes to do we will run man-free and keep the FS in the middle of the formation. OR we might run cover 2-read, which allows the OLB to the twins to stay closer in the box. Again, we could stunt an OLB and play man, or stunt a LB and play zone or man-free.

Ace (wing to strong side and tight slot the weak side)?
We view this formation the same as a 2-back wing formation. Whatever we're playing against a 2-back wing, we'll play vs this formation.

Your robber call puts the FS into the middle and about 6 yards deep?
If we are play 1/4's from our 8-man front, the FS is about 7-9 yds deep, no wide than the strong side
B-gap.
The corners are playing pure man; they do not expect any help.
The FS is reading #2. If #2 drags in front of the LB's drop (between LB and LOS), the FS will look for a crosser from the other side. If #2 drags behind the LB's drop, the FS will lock on to him. If #2 blocks or runs to the flat, the FS must get inside and ontop of #1 (be able to play the double move pattern).

The toughest thing is that the FS must take #2 if #2 runs a wheel; we do not make the OLB responsible for this pattern (I know that Va Tech and others who run similar schemes do). Having the FS take the wheel is really not as difficult as you think. It takes a little coaching. BUT not many offenses run this route with a TE; they usually run it from some kind of slot. We do not play this coverge to a slot, so we're in better shape.
