What are the Cover 2 coverages you like, and how you run them. What are the Cover 3 coverages and how do you like to run them. Thanks a lot, History 10

Coaches,

This coincides with History10 and twin coverage...how many of yall play a read coverage with the corner making a CHINA call if #1 runs a slant, in, cross ect. and that CHINA calls tells the OLB to man #1 and the corner will sink, keeping o/s leverage on #2 and the safety keeping i/s leverage with #2. We ran it in college and I notice many other college-pro teams talking about it. It is huge against smash routes. Do any of yall run it in HS?

Also, when the corner yells "China" does the OLB lock up on the in route and the corner and safety bracket the #2 WR? Could you apply the same concept vs, Trips? Thanks, DC

Coach,

With bunch trips I like to "OZ" the coverage. The OLB bumps out between #2 and #3 at about 4-5 yards depth. The Mike bumps out a bit from a 10 tech player to over the D-end, in most cases, 50 tech. The corner plays o/s #1 at a depth about 10 yards and the Safety lines up on the same level of the corner and over #3. It is pretty much a box coverage. The OLB has 1st short out route (man up), the Mike has the 1st short in route (Man up) and the Corner has the 1st deep out while the Safety has the 1st deep in route. Of course, three receivers and 4 cover men there will be on guy without a man. You sink in coverage and eye the QB or any slip screens by the TB.
Hope this registers and please throw me your two cents, I love learning this game.
