Corners over in Robber

imho....Over rotated too far left. If the FS truly has the TE he's outmatched before they even throw. If they run Lead to the Weak side its going to be huge! Rotate R to Slot with FS over the top of DE. Right Side Corner stays right side over DE Cover 2. Its balanced and each Deep Cover has a chance to get to the outside. Its still a locked 5 Man with better balance and it give the offense a wrinkle as the FS can still cover the slot and the R the back. Will is free to play run or QB and B can play flats, screen, to blitz.

Just a quick look..

We call this alignment Cloud. Love it on the hash; love it against all single width sets. We play half field zone and 5 under zone.

We roll into "Cloud" when the kids read single width or I make a cloud call on the hash. We usually play Cloud rather than Robber, by our rule, with this offensive formation but... game plans dictate how we will attack it.

If you look at the numbers and draw a line down the center of the offensive/defensive formations, as Coach Campbell teaches, there is 5 on offense to the right and 6 on offense to the left. On defense, there is 5 on the right and 6 on the left.

It doesn't seem over rotated to me at all. Seems 100% balanced.

I have the backside Corner over top of the TE, not over the Guard as the initial poster has drawn up.

I like the look and feel good about no one running or throwing short to the wideside. 3 on 2 to the left, 2 on 1 to the right, solid vs option wideside and I have an OLB setting the edge rather than a rolled up corner.

PS Does Pat Fox return your e-mails? I have seen him at clinics; he told me/us to e-mail him with any questions, gave us his e-mail address and never got responses. foxmsu87@yahoo.com was what he gave us two years ago when he was at Milford. Maybe it’s changed since then but I e-mailed him a couple months later a few times and never got a response.

If anyone has his current e-mail, if you could pass it along, I would appreciate it. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has some really good clinic stuff and does a great job teaching his G defense. I was interested in picking his brain like he told us we could.

I want to corners over because we do that in all our man coverage. I guess I should just teach robber to the corners they will have to play that techinque vs. 2 tight anyway.
