What is your progression for teaching this coverage? Do you begin with it or do you begin with teaching a cover 3 and then move into Robber?

Also, which sets do you not use robber against? It seems that you wouldn't want to use it against double twins or trips/tight and trips/wide sets. If you do use it against the trips sets, which wr does the safety read?

We teach Robber as our base coverage and use cover 3 sparingly. Since we split our coverages into halves of the field, we can run our robber coverage against anything except empty. We check to a cover 2 look on the weakside against double twins (you could also play man) and bring our weak olb over the top from a cover 2 look to play #3 when we see trips and leave our corner man on #1 on the weakside. Our ILB will wall off #3 for 8-10 yards and then pass him off to the weak OLB who is coming over the top. The other option agains trips is to check to Cover 4 or Cover 3 but we want to stay in our base.

I don't understand your trips adjustment. When you say you are bringing your Will over the top in a cover 2, where is his alignment and where is the safety's alignment? Are you saying you are playing the safety over or is he still in the middle of the formation? Thanks in advance.

Our Safety alignment in Robber puts him at 8 yards splitting the distance between the widest receiver and the end man on the line on the strong side. In this position, he is far from the middle of the field. When we see trips, we will leave him in the same alignment (basically over the slot). Our weakside OLB will then cheat to the middle of the field expecting to pick up #3 on a vertical pass route. If #3 is a TE, we will leave our ILB in a B gap technique and his job is to take away the vertical TE for 8 yards until the weakside OLB can pick him up. If #3 is a slot, we will probably bump our E down inside the tackle (B gap) and play the ILB between #3 and the EOL with the same idea. Depending on personnel, you may have to really cheat your weakside OLB or allow him to fly on the snap.
