cover 2 question

Play QUARTERS on #1 & #2 to the TRIPS side. Play the F/S man on #3 (disguise). OLB & MLB on ther Trips side play like QUARTERS. Offside LBer man on near back. Offside Corner man on #1 away from Trips.

That is how the BEST Quarters team I ever saw played it.

IF there are QUESTIONS - PHONE. Not enough time to type lengthy replies.

PDS: Cover 2 TO the Trips side is too vulnerable to the "SMASH" (IE: "China") route!

YO LOU,

YOU MUST HAVE SOME LB'S WHO CAN FLY! MOST OFTEN A RECEIVER, OTHER THAN A TE, WHO IS RUNNING A WHEEL IS GOING TO WIN THAT BATTLE AGAINST A LB. UNLESS HE IS JUST BAILING TO A SPOT WHEN HE READS THE WHEEL IS COMING HIS WAY, HOW IN THE WORLD IS HE GOING TO RUN WITH A 4-3 RECEIVER WHEN HE IS USUALLY A 4-6-4-7 GUY? JUST CURIOUS AS HOW YOUR THINKING GOES ON THAT MATCH UP?

Good answer, as that is about all he can do. That is a tough assignment for any LB in my opinion.

COACH, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE ASKING FOR A COPY OF A 4-2-5 BUT HERE IS HOW WE BASICALLY ALIGN: WE HAVE SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS WHERE WE REDUCE AND EAGLE THE FRONT
AND MOVE THE LB'S AROUND. WE ALWAYS LEAVE OUR FS IN THE MOF IN THE PSL AND WE ALWAYS PLAY THE C'S ROLLED UP HARD IN MAN UNDER AND PLAY BUMP AND RUN, NOT TURN AND RUN. THE DEFENSE IS VULNERABLE OFF TACKLES AND WE RUN A "42 SPECIAL" WHEREBY WE MOVE THE SS ON THE SIDE THAT IS BEING GASHED INSIDE TO STOP THE BLEEDING. SS's HAVE 3 ASSIGNMENTS ON EVERY PLAY: 1. CONTAIN ON THE SWEEP 2. PITCH ON THE OPTION 3. FLATS ON THE PASS WE STAY IN 3'S ON THE FRONT TO ENCOURAGE THE OFFENSE TO RUN AT THE BUBBLE. WE WILL MOVE THEM TO 2'S IF NECESSARY. LB's ARE AT A DEPTH OF 4 YDS. FS IS AT 10-12 YDS. HARD TO DIAGRAM HERE, BUT SS's ARE AT 3 YDS OFF AND 5 YDS WIDE
